Not my official "post for this yarn, specifically", but it turned out really pretty pre-wash. Photobomb by Chel, who enjoys her summer concrete time.

Tour de Fleece has been going well this year. I'm happy to not be on an organized team but rather engaging and sharing with the groups I frequent the most and loosely following the Tour.

Here are some yarns I've been working on since the beginning of the month! Some are long-term projects that are finally coming to fruition, and some are new. I'm really pleased with my progress in making yarn, learning new techniques, and hybridizing techniques to work better for my spinning style.

As an aside, I want to say that I'm incredibly disappointed with the main TdF group that's still hosted on Ravelry and their choice to use genAI banners and welcome images throughout the team threads. Visiting the group and seeing that really solidified my choice to participate elsewhere.

Finished spinning this gorgeous "seaweed" yarn (60% seacell, 40% wool) and oh my god it's soooo smooth and silky and luxurious I can't wait to make something with it because it will feel amazing against my skin !!! I'm so happy with how it turned out it's a pretty fine weight yarn and I feel like it's very consistent and not over/underspun, my skill level is finally getting somewhere I'm proud of 🎉 been working on this one for a while, but now that it's off my wheel I get to start my other tdf spins hooray ~

Last year, I befriended a Catholic seminarian. We've gotten to be pretty decent friends. Seeing as he was staying in town for the summer and I wasn't, I entrusted him with caring for my plant.

He did a wonderful job, but as he was returning my plant to my custody, he explained "I watered her every other day, I gave her new dirt, moved her into the sunshine, prayed the rosary-"

"What?"

He looked at me, confused. "Isn't she a plant you pray with?"

"No," I said slowly. "She's a prayer plant. That's the... colloquial name of the plant."

Upon seeing his stricken face, I realized something went wrong. Turns out, this entire time, he's been including my plant in on his prayers and leaving her near icons.

Listen, totally cool. My plant becoming Catholic is a great deal for her not dying over the summer. But now I must navigate this interfaith household. Keep me in your thoughts.

Sometimes tweeter people know their stuff- this is the right kind of toxic angst I want to read.

[aniseandspearmint]

it's all about chemical reactions. Like, SURE that pairing is cute, it makes a pretty color. But if we take THIS one and introduce them to THAT one they'll eat into and structurally weaken them like gallium does aluminum except with EMOTIONS.

This is Captain Kirk of the USS Enterprise speaking. We’ve entered the orbit of a planet not terribly unlike our own… save that it is exclusively populated by petty old queens.

would y’all ever date someone with the same name as you?

[hmslusitania]

I’m sorry for adding directly to a post but I went to a wedding once where the groom’s name was Loren and the bride’s name was Lauren and at the end the officiant was all “introducing Loren [surname] and Lauren [surname], husband and wife” and the entire assembled lost it

[tevankinkley]

also sorry for adding on but at my high school there was a Dominic and a Dominique who were dating and everyone just called them “Dom and Dommer” which is honestly the funniest shit ever

[faerytale-wings]

My parents are both named Terry (spelled differently) but I’m pretty sure that’s one of the reasons my mom never changed her last name.

People would call and ask for Terry and child me would be like “boy or girl?” And they’d panic and hang up. My mom found this endlessly amusing.

Re-creating my first webcomic from 12 years ago, "Hair Expectations vs Reality."

I can't help but feel all kinds of emotions after re-visiting the original comic: the one that started it all. A lot has changed since then, and I feel so fortunate to still create art and tell stories for a living. Thanks for your support, and sticking around for so long ❤️
