Making some nice plush rugs out of Bernat Blanket. So soft and cushy.

Long time, no post.

Hey, everyone. I'm sorry I haven't posted in a long while. There's been a lot happening in my life that pulled me out of the digital realm. I've been scrolling through and liking posts and following new blogs, excited to get back into this now that I have the time and energy. However, I came back to find messages upon messages from different dummy accounts accusing me of some pretty terrible things. Some of you have seen the Steelers baby blanket that I made as a commission for a family friend. According to those who messaged me, making it was an example of ableism, racism, and sexism. This was said along with some very harsh digs at myself personally. I'm curious if anyone else in the handmade community has experienced anything like this before and how you handled it. Feel free to way in on the issues, as well, if you'd like. I'd like to know your opinions and any advice you have for me. Thanks for reading, everyone. Take care.

I think the word would be infallible. Mostly used in relation to the mind or state of being, but if applied to the body, this would be the closest description I can fathom.

Other words would describe never decaying, like incorruptible, or never receiving damage or injury, which would be invulnerable. Impervious would also work. Had to edit a bunch because I am horrible at typing on mobile.

Is there a condition where your body will never fail you, and if so, has it a name? I'm not talking about immortality because there you can still not succeed, just never die. I'm talking about a Godly state (which probably has never been achieved by humans) where you will never fail at what you are doing. A body which allows you to excel at everything. It won't get damaged if you jump down from a building, if you wanted to jump over a mountain it would allow it. Has a condition like this a name?

Not that I know of actually, but do any of you guys know?

I hope you find joy in 2016.

I hope you find love in 2016.

ATTENTION KNITTERS (and crochet folks too, if you wish)

Reblog this if your blog features knitting and/or crocheting (doesn’t have to be the main focus of your blog). My yarn obsession needs to be fed so I need some blogs to follow. :)

Also I am on ravelry. Feel free to ask for my username.

___ Edit: okay, so I might have just realized it’s a little overwhelming to follow each and every one of you. I expected maybe 5 people to reblog this but the knitting/crochet/yarnlr community is very enthusiastic apparently and a lot more than 5 volunteered as tribute. But feel free to keep reblogging because a lot of people have mentioned they want to use this to find other knitting blogs, too. And I will still add you on ravelry if you ask. And I’ll still be following a lot of blogs on this post. I just can’t promise I’ll get every single one.

Loud, scary, and patient... I'm a poltergeist..

Be Afraid. Be Beary Afraid. New hat for the Logey Bear for his birthday. He just turned one and actually leaves it on. I thought it would be way too big, but it fits him pretty well. :-)

Gotta be honest. I wouldn't know half of what I do without those lovely ladies, gents, and others imbetween and outside who have provided free instruction on YouTube. Y'alls the best.

If youtubers have ever helped you in any way, reblog this and l'll write your url on a little piece of paper and put it in a jar.

I want to be able to fill this jar up as much as possible. I want to prove that they really aren’t just people on the internet. They have done more than just entertain. They have truly helped people.

I'm adopting a kitten from my sister. Her cat, Isis, had her litter six weeks ago and I am keeping the only female. Her name is Oreo and she's very shy, but curious. I'm very happy. I needed this little ray of sunshine. Does anyone know of some cat toy patterns for crochet or knitting? I'm planning to go pretty crazy. Lol.

Mum and I went on a haunted history tour of downtown Pittsburgh tonight. It was fun and the guide was pretty cool. It was nice to be just the two of us for a few hours. :-)

Finally have a matching set!

So, just finished the second sock and found out that I neglected the knit rounds in between the increase rounds in the gusset. Doh! Oh well. Looks like I'll just have to make more! :-D

Achievement Unlocked: Sock Knitter I'm so happy! On to the next!

It's midnight in July (summer here) and I'm learning to sock. I'm in love! ^_^ I didn't post the pick that actually shows my foot because I have some scars and I know some of my followers have podophobia. I still tagged it, just in case.

Because they're not? Arizona U is giving a six grand discount to some Starbucks employees. Starbucks isn't paying out anything, let alone covering the cost of their employees education. They don't deserve your praise. They've done nothing but accept the good publicity.

GUYS.

STARBUCKS IS PLANNING ON SENDING ALL OF THEIR EMPLOYEES TO COLLEGE FOR FREE

WHY AREN’T PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THIS

THIS IS MONUMENTAL

Working up a Catherine Wheel blanket for a friend's baby who is due this fall. I really like the color combo. :-)
