Made another Moravian Star this past holiday season. It’s almost finished. Just waiting for me to stop by Michael’s and get a proper ribbon for hanging it. #epp #englishpaperpiecing #hamdstitching #moravianstar #craftsky #quiltsky #sewsky #stitchsky #makersgonnamake

I am unashamed about my feelings for Murley the Loth-Cat. I don’t have pets for many reasons, but I love Murley. I have to be careful at the office, though. When Murley is on my iPad, coworkers want to hang out at my desk. 🤨 #murley #lothcat #starwars #ambientmusic #lofi #sleepylothcat

A sock knitter could hack this and make it. Even if they charge you $200, you’d be getting something handmade by an artist. Hell, I might try and make one my damn self…🤔 #knitsky #applepocket
If you really want to pay over $200 for a rib-knitted pouch thing to carry your phone in, why not just commission a handknitter to make one for you instead of giving that money to Apple? I mean, I enjoy the art of Miyake’s fashions, but…no. Not just no, but oh Hell no. 😂 #applepocket
The CEO of #Starbucks could take a substantial paycut and use some of that money to pay the Baristas fairly…and *still* be a gahtdamn BILLIONAIRE. #starbucksstrike
Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract. Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.
Another Tiny Tassels shawlette is fini. This is made with what’s left of some Collinette Jitterbug I bought almost 20 yrs ago for a project I fell out of love with and frogged. Made a few other things and had enough left for this. Tassels also leftover Jitterbug. #knitsky #craftsky #makersgonnamake
Q: Where do you keep all your DPNs? Me: Though I majored in Theater, being all Eclectic ‘n’ shite, I took all kinds of classes. One of them was *Ancient Egyptian Language and Literature*. Sis gave me a lovely cartouche necklace tucked inside this cool pencil tin. #knitsky #crafttools #hunkydory
My *One in Each Favourite Colour* stashbusting continues. These last longer than socks. And they’re not completely hidden. Pattern: Secret Summer Crop Yarn: Collinette Jitterbug Color: Velvet Damson #knitsky #knitting #knittersofbluesky #makersgonnamake
Im using this as an excuse for when I have a hot flash. (Damn you, perimenopause!!!)

Why The Biggest Fan Complaint About James Gunn's Superman Misses The Point - SlashFilm
James Gunn's Superman has been met overwhelmingly positive reception, but one of the biggest criticisms doesn't actually make sense.

MadTosh Sockweight yarn - Colorway: Electric Rainbow - Size 7 needles. Years ago, this was going to be socks. Now, it’s going to be a camisole. I don’t usually do pastels and never wear greens and yellows, but I like this. It looks like a dystopian Springtime. #knitsky #myofficeisfreezingcold
Cami now blocked. Jessie Maed Designs. I want one in several colors. Stashbusting continues. #knitsky #craftsky #makersgonnamake
I’ve been shopping for warm weather clothes…in my closet. Found a secondhand men’s white tuxedo shirt I purchased 30+yrs ago at a NYC store called Renaissance. Of course the sleeves were too short so I cut them off leaving abt 1/2” to fold under and stitch. ✨🪡🧵🪡✨ #upcycle #slowfashion #notshopping
Sock mending sometimes involves re-knitting. Had to cut the toes out of these socks that partially felted, but not enough where I couldn’t frog the stitches. Ripped down until I had stitches I could re-mount, and then reknitted. #knitsky #craftsky #makersky #makersgonnamake
The W(nba) has me having so much fun watching basketball that I’m watching teams play that I have no ties to. Peep the center court art at the Atlanta Dream’s court: *Pay Some Respect to Women’s Sports*. Love to see it. #wnba #thew #atlantadream #indianafever #basketball #womenssports #respect
Anyone saying it’s okay to use “your” and “you’re” interchangeably? They’re out of their minds and should have several seats. That’s some irresponsible dumbing-down bullshit. #yeahisaidit #sorrynotsorry #spellingandgrammarareimportant #dontbefuckinglazy #learnthedifference #wordsmeanthings
If only main media journalists and @nytimes.com @wsj.com @latimes.com @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy @nbcnews.com @abc7.bsky.social @cnn.com @msnbc.com Can grow a spine and report on this and inform all Americans daily what is happening in our country. They all went ghost after Jan 2025
I used to make myself little talisman bags. I’d put shells, wee sachets of dried rose petals, tiny milagros in them. Seeing SINNERS, and the general state of fuckery that is the world these days, has made me want to wear one again. This waxed linen pouch is 25+ yrs old. #craftsky #makersgonnamake
Framework Bralette Revisited. Jessie Maed Designs. Yarn: Queen’s Yarn Boutique. MCN DK / Color: Wine. (Check out this Black dyer!) Finally got around to using yarn I bought 5 or so years ago specifically for this! Shopping my stash is fun! #knitsky #craftsky #makersgonnamake #knit
What do you do when your boss is getting rid of corporate swag? You look through your patch collection, and end up with a bag you’ll actually wear ‘cause your job isn’t cool enough that you’d publicly wear anything with their logo on it. Ever. #reuse #upcycle #slowfashion #oaklandish
I saw a photo of a Moravian Star from Paper Pieces and (sorry to use this played out term) I got obsessed. I saw it, I wanted one, so I made one. It’s not perfect, but it was fun to make and I love it. It’s time to make another one. #englishpaperpiecing #craftsky #slowstitching #makersgonnamake
Anyone else wrapped their devices back in The Day? The company was called i-A-Peel. Peel and stick paper w/a side to print on iPod/Nook/Kindle/iPad/laptops. On the unprinted side there were guidelines and tabs so placement was always perfect. I used a Shepard Fairey #OBEY wallpaper on this iPod.
I loved —and still love—Peter Max’s art. This book has been in my library for *decades* because I wanted that cute t-shirt. Never made it because I fell in love with knitting. Might be tempted to jump back into crochet and take a swing at it. #craftsky #makersgonnamake #crochet
I don’t know what other people do with their #TraderJoes reusable cloth shopping bags, but I use them as project bags for knitting, quilting, and embroidery projects. Fancy-schmancy knitting bags are cute, but no. These bags are fun, hilarious, and what, 5 bucks a pop? Gimme all o’them. #knitsy
The original pattern is a mitten, but I hate having my fingers completely covered, so I mod’ed the design and made these now kind of shabby fingerless mitts that I wear at work every Winter for almost 20 yrs. Thinking about making another pair as a Summer project. #knitsky #knit #makersgonnamake
Crochet shawl that I started when I was in the 11th grade…and finished when I was a Junior in college. Yes. That’s corkscrew fringe. (Hey, Marta!) Pattern A-840 Crochet Lace Stole from discontinued Coats & Clark booklet. #crochetsky #crochet #craftsky #makersgonnamake
Instead of using it as a table runner, I decided to gang it over my bed like a banner. My next project is feeling like I’ll do Kawandi inside of the back panel of a denim jacket that I cut the sleeves off of and made into a vest. #kawandi #slowstitching #handsewing #quilting #makersgonnamake
