A Good Yarn

I knit like a mad woman, spin and dye roving and yarn, and fall into the dye pot with regularity, I also read and review books in my copious spare time. Outlander fangirl

A professor of political science in Connecticut has aggregated the data from public reports of crowd sizes at the women’s marches across America on Saturday and reached an astonishing conclusion: More than 1 in every 100 people in the U.S. turned out to march against Donald Trump and for women’s rights

The marches were awesome

A year of socks for myself. 2016 resolution complete.

I should try this!

I must be an emotional archaeologist because I keep looking for the roots of things, particularly the roots of behavior and why I feel certain ways about certain things.

Fred Rogers (via wordsnquotes)

This man is a saint.

so in Japanese, we sang Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

here’s a general gist of the translation:

Rudolph had a shiny nose no one liked him he cried every night then one Christmas it was dark Santa decided Rudolph’s nose was convenient (literally it says convenient) Rudolph was useful.

I SHIT YOU NOT.

That’s basically the song without all of the fluff, though.

IT’S LIKE A VULCAN CHRISTMAS CAROL

hysterical!

Doing tentative layouts of the Kaffe Fassett quilt. The plan is rows of these squares surrounded by blue sashing and then long lines of rectangles seen together dividing them. Kitty is helping.

The kitties always help when I do anything like this.

I possibly shouldn’t be this excited to be buying the new Anita Blake book. But fuck you, I am reading my trash book and I shall love it anyway because it features Edward.

I read it already. Enjoy it.

As am I. 😊

Yep

Juneberry Triangle by Jared Flood

Isn’t this just divine? This feeds my love of all things vintage, and makes me think of moss, and moors and red maple leaves, and deer’s eyelashes.

Sorry, got a bit carried away there, but I do love this!

This particular work was make by © Koanizee

I'm so excited for this!

My husband’s aunt sent me two boxes of yarn. Look at all of this! I’ve been having a rough time lately with anxiety and depression and bills so this really really cheered me up.

Tagging @voculae and @knicromaniac because I know you two will appreciate and squee at the awesome.

That is quite a haul! His aunt is very generous! Enjoy it all, and I hope things start getting easier for you. ☺😊

Therapy knitting for the win!

Hi~ I don't know if you have a tag for this, but I'm going to Paris for 3 days, where should I eat? What do I have to try? Are there things I shouldn't do? Thank you for everything ^^

You can try anything. The only tip you should have is that long menus and full meals (starter+dish+dessert) under 20 euros, mean everything’s frozen. Stick to restaurants with short menus. Get your tripadvisor app on to see the notes and have fun. We also have an app, called “Lafourchette”, that allows you to have discounts in real cool restaurants. Very useful to find new places to eat at.

3 days is nowhere near enough time. Paris is my fave city.

I’m slowly but surely making progress on my knit-alike scarf! Tunisian takes longer than traditional crochet but I think it’s worth the wait. Here’s a beautiful closeup of those stitches! The pattern and tutorial will be published on September 6th, so get ready :) #crochet #bhooked #crocheting #crochetersofinstagram #crochetaddict #happyhooker #crocheteveryday #instacrochet #crocheters #crochetlove #crocheted #yarn #fiberarts #yarnporn #ilovecrochet #tunisiancrochet

Love the color changes- gorgeous work

I drew this a few months ago when I was hopeless and waiting to see a new doctor, sat on it when I thought it was actually gonna be ok this time… and now the cycle has repeated YET AGAIN :)

So much yes!
