I actually visited this particular state for the first time a few months back! I now live in Pennsylvania.

FUN FACT: If you live in Pennsylvania, it is illegal to bring "spiritous elixirs" from Delaware into Pennsylvania! Yes, you can bring them in from anywhere else, but not Delaware! GO FIGURE!

hold on a fucking second. delaware is a state?? i thought it was a river? or is the river more important than the state? why don't i know this? (i should mention i don't like in america, i'm just confused)

there is delaware (state) and delaware (river) 

both are equally strange

the state is a tiny little cryptid thing

the rive is a monster that spans new york, pennsylvania, new jersey and delaware. also washington crossed it once and that was like kinda a big deal i guess. like crossing the rubicon in rome.

the state tries to me more important with its “im the first state!!!” bs (seriously its even on the fucking license plates) but we all know. its the river.

Yes, they are all e-books!

do you own enough books to be considered a library (500+)

Yes.

Evidently, this must have been one of the [many] books I had to -- regretfully -- cull from my collection. Thank you, Free Library of Philadelphia as well as all libraries everywhere, that continue to carry knitting books! Otherwise, I might not have been able to find this pattern again! (Madeline Weston's "Classic British Knits" was one I had to re-purchase -- second hand -- and I am so THANKFUL that it was available!) So, a cautionary note to all who are "de-accessioning" their private libraries: FIRST: See if the books you must leave behind are replaceable; SECOND: If your space is limited (like mine), find out if they are available in electronic form; THREE: BE ABSOLUTELY SURE YOU WILL NOT NEED ANY OF THE PATTERNS IN THE BOOKS YOU GET RID OF!

In honour of St. David’s Day, allow me to post this charming symbol of Wales!

Made a Larry Dragon :3 I wanted to make the wings rainbow but I couldn’t bring all the colors with me 🙄

Please come take a look at my works on my Instagram (robiambros) or my Facebook Page (AmbrosCrochet); it might not seem like it, but it makes the biggest difference to me when people leave me a like/follow there as well :)

Mrs Margaret Roberts, Llanuwchllyn, yn edrych yn rhyfeddol o dda yn 101 mlwydd oed ac yn gwau hosanau yn ardal y Bala, tua 1939. Yn y llun, gellir gweld ei gweill a’r “bach pellen” ar ei chôl.
