Calzones are pizzas giving themselves a hug.
Or pizza curled up in fetal position.
Got a #Socktober sock on the needles for husband.
🧦 Pattern is Chequer Socks by @verybusymonkey.bsky.social
🧶 Yarn is West Yorkshire Spinners Signature sparkle 4-ply in Mulled Wine.

Pattern 5 of 5 stars: interesting enough but not super complicated, good car or social knitting
Also, the apostrophe goes before the T, not after, in ‘twas. It’s a contraction of “it was.” And, as we learned in first grade, apostrophes take the place of the removed letters in contractions.

We can save the White House from demolition but it’s going to cost money. A lot of money. Don’t worry, I have a plan: let’s put on a show
Non-political rant ahead.

Authors, please check that your book is made up of the words that mean what you intend to say. My current read uses “passed” in every instance that should be “past.” And “virulent” instead of “virile.”

Virulent = 🦠🤧
Virile = 🏋🏻‍♀️🍆
This concludes my Ted Talk.
Thank you! I’ve been looking for patterns for non-vanilla socks for my husband, and you have some lovelies.

And I just realized, why am I using my good thread for this project instead of the random weirdly colored stuff of indeterminate age?
Yes, I know I could have just turned the outer covers and stitched them with a bigger seam allowance. But then I would have lost some total size on the pillows, and I want to keep as much as possible. And it would get tricky to maintain stripe balance on a few of the covers.
Crafting stash to the rescue!

The throw pillows I got from Ikea are too squishy to provide adequate support as backrests on the daybed. I was able to grab my stash of assorted fabrics (thanks, Covid mask-making!) and quilt batting to add floof and structure. (Alt texts for details) #fabric #stash
We have been updating our tv/home theater space, from a 15+ year old tv that only 75% worked (half the screen was fuzzy), to smart tv with assorted players, amps, and 7.1 channel surround sound.
This is Car Guy playing with setups. The big amp remote (66 buttons!) is not pictured.
They are not hardy enough to survive the rigors of shipping, and are therefore usually found only at farm stands or as gifts from people who have a couple of trees. They are what gives the city of Paw Paw, Michigan its name.
The UN needs to implement the anti-time-overrun measures that awards shows use: cut the mic, cue the orchestra, and have a page walk the offender away from the podium.
USians, make a sign, grab your comfy shoes, and join your neighbors on October 18. (And before, if you have other events in your area!)
October 18 is going to be the largest peaceful protest in American history. This is the land of the free and the home of the brave — but if we want to be free, then we’ve got to be brave. Find your local event: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings
This is one of the driving emotions of my life. Figures the Germans would have a name for it. (In a good way)
That’s Crafting TV. Something to have on and look at occasionally while knitting or crocheting something that only takes half your attention.
I’ve been calling Disney “The Evil Empire” for a quarter century. Mostly related to their metamorphosis into a greedy mega-corp so far from their roots of providing quality family entertainment.
I guess that was just the start of the transformation to cowardly yes corp of a fascist regime.
And we can do even BETTER!!! If you already cancelled yours, tell a friend 😎

Getting ahead with my sign for protests this weekend.

I was going to use red for “fascist,” in a classic color combo. And then I realized that the T at the end was perfect for a minimalist Dementia Don, and that meant I needed to use orange.

Spicy-sweet spreads are so good on sandwiches.
