I did the tiniest little clothing alteration project for my girl yesterday (taking some corset grommets off the back of a cardigan) and I sweat the easiest things are often the most satisfying. #craftsky
My latest pattern is a super simple knit basket you can work with whatever yarn you have lying around. It's been very well received, which kind of surprises me and kind of doesn't. #craftsky
I've been working on a ton of stash busting projects lately but I really love these little baskets, which you can make with chunky yarn or yarn held together, and any size you want. Great for holding randoms on your desk. #craftsky www.ourdailycraft.com/2026/07/16/e...

You know that thing where you've got a migraine and you close your eyes and the tracers are so bad you want to close your eyes more? And then there are fireworks going off outside. That was me last night. Hope the "festivities" are done now. #america250

I love using knitting machines for silly little home decor things I'd never take the time to knit by hand. Thus this knitting machine pencil. It's kind of ridiculous and I kind of love it. #craftsky #knitting www.ourdailycraft.com/2026/06/29/k...

Speaking of fabric scraps, had to make a new set of handwarmers today because I couldn't find my old ones. The teen had her wisdom teeth out this week and they are great localized heating pads, too. #craftsky www.ourdailycraft.com/2023/12/04/s...

Working on a post about using fabric scraps today (not necessarily just for sewing). What's your favorite way to use fabric scraps? I'm a little obsessed with making fabric twine lately. #craftsky
I firmly believe teens need their wisdom teeth out to give parents another chance to baby them that the teens will actually accept. Momming hard this week and not mad about it. #parenting

Instead of calling the TV show "For All Mankind" I accidentally called it "Life on Mars" and I need to know if I'm the only person who thinks that's funny. #tvsky #forallmankind
I had so much fun figuring out how to make this little cat bed on a knitting machine. Now if I could only get a cat to use it, but that's pretty on brand for them. #craftsky pattern here: www.ourdailycraft.com/2026/06/05/d...

Thinking I should do a "don't be afraid of your serger" series. Because I just realized I've had mine for 12 years and still feel like a beginner. And you should always write what you need. #craftsky help me out -- do you need this? what should I include?
Love Julie K. Brown getting her flowers for a decade of reporting on Jeffrey Epstein via a special citation from the Pulitzer board. #pulitzers
I had this big plan to do more of my own work in May, which requires me to get client work out of the way. Happy to report I'm on track to have client work done by the end of the weekend! Then I have no excuse not to show up for myself, which is kind of scary.
I guess it's finally time to write about AI and knitting (which I have avoided because it makes me angry and I don't want to bring bad vibes to something I love). Who has good resources (or just your personal tips) for spotting AI slop patterns (not just knitting)? #craftsky
Getting through this afternoon like any good Gen X’er: coffee and Erasure.
I don't think it's possible to have too many baby blanket knitting patterns in your collection. This one uses sand stitch, an easy knit-purl pattern that looks good on both sides. #knitting #craftsky www.ourdailycraft.com/2026/04/15/s...
