I love the drape of freshly blocked knits!! (I did the fun part of this sweater first, I still have to knit all the plain parts, which will inevitably go much more slowly because my brain doesn't find it interesting)
The front panel of a cream knit sweater with a black and cream lightning bolt optical illusion design in the center, pinned out on a blocking mat. The pattern is "The Bolt Sweater" by MaxTheKnitter.

I call this one "piano swatch"
A black and white striped knitted pinned out on a blocking mat. It sort of looks like piano keys.

I saw this flyer when I was traveling for a doctor's appointment earlier this week and it brought me great joy
A flyer for the Philadelphia Special Interest Exchange. It has a bunch of shapes in various colors with text on them, including: Are you autistic or something of the sort / Do you want to meet other people of said persuasion / Share the many great facts you know / Make a friend or seven / RHOMBUS (this is in a pink rhombus) / 2 pm 8/17 Rittenhouse. There is also a QR code for the associated Instagram.

I lost yarn chicken and had to order a new skein because I bought it in MA, BUT magically the dye lot matches!! Also they put this excellent sticker on the package.
A skein of blue-grey yarn, Acadia from the Fibre Co. in Granite. Resting on a white shipping bag with a sticker that says "Cats of gather here for Harris-Walz 2024" with a picture of a brown and white cat.

Finally finished sewing the short sleeve button up I've been working on for awhile so now I can (a) wear it, since even though it is October it is still mid-70s and (b) make something else!
Harrison, a white man in his early 30s who needs a hair cut is wearing a homemade short sleeve button up shirt in a purple-ish gray fabric with white grid lines on it.

I'm doing my fourth flat felled armseye seam and I think I'm finally getting the hang of it, also, crucially, I got a tailor's ham

Who needs pattern weights when I have "random crap I found in my kitchen"
A paper pattern for pajama paints is laid out on top of blue and white fabric on a kitchen island, and held in place with random household items, including a jar of peanut butter, a container of olive oil, a candle, and a set of epipens

This one doesn't really work either due to the crucial point that one of these things is STILL HAPPENING
there is a tendency for people to think more about how Israel could stop its current attacks rather than on Hamas having never started the war to begin with. if the score after the first four shots is 3-3 and then the final player on one team scores while the final player on the other does not, people are likely to focus on the final players' actions as the most significant causes of the ultimate outcome

I've gotten this ad on my Kindle several times now and something about "Try to enjoy reading the poems." is very amusing to me.
Kindle screensaver showing an ad for "Poems of The Universe" by Joakim Nurminen with the line: "Random poems about life. Try to enjoy reading the poems."

Jimmy made a strange choice with the garbage bubble water today, sparkling water really does not benefit from cinnamon
