another round of Circling the Square at a festival last weekend :)

it's a game from Cohost-- when you go out somewhere, you look for circular objects, then arrange them once you get back.

Apologies for the not-cross stitch post but I would like to share that this is now the softest and squishiest thing I own and I’m obsessed

My adventures in crochet. Making this cardigan pattern by AutumnOliveCrochet for a friend who adores clowns. She wanted them to have eyes

As a former librarian I'm actually required to remind you that many libraries that subscribe to Libby are opted into a program that lets you subscribe and access magazines for free with no wait

And that this is actually a really fun, low cost way to not only access news and larger cultural magazines, but also to get free patterns for many different crafts that you can screenshot if need be and that lower the financial barriers to entry for trying new things

From my experience working in both academic and public libraries, many libraries are use it or lose it funding-- I have to say this because a lot of patrons feel guilty for how much they use the library and how often they're using it funny enough, but the worst thing you can do for libraries is not try out new features and not use what's already given to you as much as possible.

The numbers that come as a result of your patronage are how most libraries justify their continued existence in times of financial hardship, which sucks but, go check out some magazines on Libby!

Fibre crafts are 50% soothing repetitive action and 50% "God Fucking Damnit"

Thanks for your lovely and kind words and the overwhelming interest! Happy stitching everyone.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but

YOU DO NOT NEED TO START A NEW HOBBY!

STEP AWAY FROM THE TEXTILES!

YOU DON'T NEED MORE YARN!

THAT FABRIC IS NOT CALLING TO YOU! LEAVE IT ALONE!

Not all who wander are lost, but a lot of people at National Parks sure seem to be. Not sure what about the several hundred signs and instructions about "don't approach wildlife!" and "stay on marked trails!" is hard for so many to grasp?

Anyway, here's a cairn.
