  RE: https://wandering.shop/@consumablejoy/117297909524190112 Pretty much everyone who has ever scrapped a project would use those materials for another project. I have to admit that I have on occasion donated them, and in cases where I just couldn’t see myself using those materials (or they were too hard to use again), I have tossed them. #FinishOrFrogAlong

  RE: https://wandering.shop/@consumablejoy/117292315446048608 My boss sent us home. My bf at the time was in Boston and had been supposed to fly to Singapore that day. I sat in my apartment alone watching the news. And knitting. I cast on a chunky sweater and finished almost all of it that day. And then I never touched it again. It sat and sat until one day I decided - this sweater has too much in it. You’re never going to finish it. And I put it in a large garbage bag and threw it all away. #kn...

  Potato has been learning JavaScript and just put up “Potato-doro”, a free pomodoro style task and break timer that lets you set your own times for test, focus, snack, nap, etc. AND, has a cry button for when the world is just too much. Thought you might find it a useful as I do. Also cute. Check it out here https://sadpotatoclub.com (I’m a Sad Potato Patreon supporter (💚sad potato)) #timeManagement #pomodoro #sadPotato

  #TourDeFleece today was a rest day but I spun anyway and will likely take a different day off. I finished plying my Blanket Octopus spin. As I mentioned yesterday, the second bobbin was a lot finer than the first. I ran out of singles from the first while I still had about 1 oz left on the second. I made a center pull ball with what was left and plied from the inside and outside of that ball. It’s been soaked and snapped and is now drying. #Handspinning #TourDeFleece2026 #TextileArts #FiberArts

  Today is the first day of Tour de France, and therefore also Tour de Fleece, where spinners spin each day the bikers race. I'm starting with spinning up these amazing braids of Rambouillet dyed by Fossil Fibers - Bee Hummingbird colorway. I'll post another pic EOD but this is where I am after the opening TdF Zoom with Darn Knit Anyway. #handspinning #TourDeFleece #TourDeFleece2026 #TextileArts #FiberArts

  @Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt @skinnylatte@hachyderm.io Lmao And also, every time I say one of these two words I have to pause to think … bugs or words.

  I finished the Riggies Cowl I made with yarn I bought in Shetland from West Lynne. I didn’t do a perfect job of stitching up the back (that sewing is my least favorite activity) but it doesn’t bother me. It stands up really well (the pattern does say you have to use the right texture of yarn to get that effect) and fits exactly how I wanted it to. #knitting #shetland #yarn #FiberArts #TextileArts

  Happy Birthday to my dear Rumble Tumble! 8 years of cuddly fun. Pictures feature before and after “spa day”. He looks so puppy-like after his grooming! #DogsOfMastodon

  It’s April 2 and time for my monthly round up of my #FiberGoals. I have done 5+ min of fiberarts for 92 consecutive days. Mostly spinning, sometimes knitting. I also made hexiflats (3 handspun). AND, I completed one project from spinning through knitting (my S2KAL Jaunty). Other things - like progress on the Advent calendar - have fallen away. That will probably be a next year thing at this point. I’m really happy with what I’m doing right now. #TextileArt #handSpinning #knitting #FiberArts

  I’m fascinated. One pot white wine pasta. Cook pasta in an entire bottle of white wine: Brown butter, red pepper flakes, a bottle of wine, pasta, anchovies, parsley. https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/770670402-one-pot-white-wine-pasta?unlocked_article_code=1.a1A.fveC.hFb6Z2m1kUIF&smid=ck-recipe-iOS-share&cgs=c This is the gift link the the recipe #cooking #food

  Today I read Legends & Librarians (Pandora Pierce) and enjoyed it so much I raced through it and then I read the sequel, Myths & Manuscripts. Perfect cozy fantasy with magic in book and libraries plus romance. Yes I read *both* today. Now listening to make that joy last a little longer. #Bookstodon

  Laziness. The answer is laziness.

  Quick interlude from Holiday Movie Capsule Reviews to visit the eternal debate: what is a holiday movie? Does it have to be centered on the holiday(s) or is it enough that it just takes place on or near the holiday, with some references to the holiday? Canonical example is, of course, Die Hard. Is Die Hard a holiday movie? For me, yes. So - what qualifies as a holiday movie? #movies #holidaymovies #holidays #films
