Online shopping is live! I dream of relying less on the meta-socials for marketing. If you found BSCS through this platform, I'm grateful. It's not much, but discount code BLUESKYHIGH5 will give you a small gift at checkout for your first purchase. 🧶🧵🪡 #craftivism #slowfashion #knitsky #crochet
It's been rough, but you helped me through. What better way to celebrate late-stage capitalism than with a sale code referencing my favorite dystopian novel? An extra 40% off holiday kits applies automatically as well! 🧶🪡 #desmoines #fiberarts #lys #sale #happynewyear

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 🪡🧵🧶

Did you know you can mend your clothes using felting? It's really fun and can be done with wool roving or even scraps of yarn. #visiblemending #slowfashion #repair #felting #sustainability 🧶🪡🧵
