I baked a #glutenfree fruitcake for national fruitcake day, and now it’s been soaking in rum for three days. Am I doing this right? I’ve never had fruitcake before.

#adhd #fibercrafting today: every 5-10 minutes I’m switching between the spindle and the knitting, with frequent breaks from both.
A spindle with red yarn on it beside knitting needles with a small piece of ribbed knitting striped in blue, purple, gold, and green.

Why do I experience rage when #homespun is used to mean rough spun? I spun this yarn on a drop spindle. Yes, all of it.
