Happy Sleepy the knitting pattern is here!

Making and fine craft are anti-fascism, any doubt?

And what if you knit, with your own two hands, a ridiculously cheerful, squishy soft smiling symbol of our freedom to choose?

What color will YOU knit? 😍

Give up the preaching of the slavemasters already and Reindigenize your spirituality

WTF

"God" = a king

Atheism is simply a return to good mental health and ALL the Abrahamic religions are supremacist, mysogynist, and coloniser BY DESIGN

If you can knit a sock you can knit a Happy Sleepy

And once you knit a Happy Sleepy, you can knit socks!

Because these creatures are, in terms of knitting, like four socks haha😃

Original Happy Sleepy by @artofmagda.bsky.social is joined by my latest #knitting pattern for the same frolicking playful creature. If you enjoy knitting socks, this is made in a similar way. Details in alt text.

Pattern: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

Two “Happy Sleepy” abstract animals are shown balanced on a piece of driftwood by the shores of Lake Champlain. The one in the back was hand sewn in upholstery fabric by artist, Magda Wojtyra, the original designer of the Happy Sleepy. The one in the foreground was hand knit by knitwear designer, Ona Wöldten, based on a knitting pattern for the same playful creature.

The pattern begins with the equivalent of two toe-up hand knit socks, which can either be done singly or two-at-a-time. Short-row shapes are used to give the body form and the whimsical curve, and two half moon eyes are hand embroidered on after completion.

This is a great stash buster project and makes the perfect gift for the holidays. Use as an emotional support friend or cozy neck pillow. The Happy Sleepy will definitely invoke smiles in anyone who sees it.

There's nothing to abandon...

American freedom is just military marketing for colonising & pursuit of individual glory, individual happiness is a scam and a lie 😆

America is an infection on Turtle Island the same as Israel is a genocidal invasion of Palestine.

Trump is a VERY TYPICAL American 🤷

Magda of Happy Sleepy @artofmagda.bsky.social · 14d

To steal somebody's land? No! Many men and armies and a trusses these are needed.

What is your question about anyways?

What are you trying to add to the conversation in order to build towards what goal?

Magda of Happy Sleepy @artofmagda.bsky.social · 14d

You mean the invasion for money, genocide, and colonization that was absolutely never a democracy and an experiment in nothing except how fast can an individual make themselves rich in the poorest form of wealth which is money?

Embarrassing...

Whose land do you stand on, English?

SHAME ON YOU YANKEE

You are exactly part of the problem. Even if people had to drive 2 hours to get the vegetables, they should stop giving money to the fascist, the misogynists, the murderers, the pedophiles, don't you think? Your standard for life being what, exactly?

So instead of reposting my message to educate people about "WALTON" you did what, exactly?

I already did grow up under a failed society, under Russian military occupation, I already took out my Lawns and planted vegetables and fruit trees and I'm in Canada. What are you6 actually DOING, babygirl?

Magda of Happy Sleepy @artofmagda.bsky.social · 15d

Look how much you assume about me! What does activism mean to you? How did it become this way? Every time at Walmart opens it replaces upwards of 200 individual businesses in the area. 200! Figure it out! People talk about Revolution but are too afraid of their HOA to stop mowing a lawn

Magda of Happy Sleepy @artofmagda.bsky.social · 15d

Why does anybody still give money to Walmart.

THAT is your true activism, figure out how to stop giving money to the billionaires while impoverishing your community because all the profit leave is the way you are.

Magda of Happy Sleepy @artofmagda.bsky.social · 26d

1) Rematriate the soil - plant native food species

2) empower the women in every/any way

3) outrage your HOA and conservative uncles (get chickens AND a pink mullet - yes YOU! 🫵)

4) Reindigenize your heart and mind

5) PURSUE DESIRE and BUILD vs reject/neglect
