Swatching for gauge (Trump method).
1. Knit swatch 4 inches square.
2. Claim swatch is 6 inches square.
3. Do not block swatch. Blocking is woke.
4. Measure gauge.
5. If gauge is off, smash ruler.
6. Claim ruler was made by Biden.
7. Gauge is now correct.
8. Continue to not release Epstein files.

Just an update. Today I made our first donation of $215 to The Sameer Project to help their relief efforts in Southern Gaza.
From now through at least October, all profit from every Min Amanne Tatreez kit purchased from my shop will go directly to aid relief efforts in Gaza. #tatreez #embroidery #crossstitch #craftivism #palestine #gaza #stopgenocide 🪡🧵🧶

BOOKMARK OF THE DAY

At the U.S. Capitol protest, police took an elderly veteran's walker away, handcuffed him, & made him walk without it. People with disabilities in our communities must be protected from this fascist #TrumpRegime.
Use #Craftivism to #StandUp.
