Learn the names of the Democratic traitors. Jeffries & Schumer have to go along with these spineless individuals. They have blood on their hands #Democrats #DefundICE #Resistance

I am so disappointed in the Democratic party. They helped the murderous Republicans increase funding for ICE. The democratic leaders are useless and a joke. We need a political party that has the cojones to fight for the American people! #Democrats #ICE #Resistance youtu.be/aRp4qREQQvs?...

The peoplebfrom Minnesota are so brave. They are an inspiration. Take note America!
🇺🇸 Temperatures in the upper-midwest were well below zero today, but the people in Minnesota braved the frigid cold, and showed up to fight for ALL OF US.

🇺🇸 I hear a lot of people saying we aren't doing enough to fight Trump's fascism. Well, go tell that to the patriots in Minnesota.

My Journey to Machine Knitting

I learned to crochet when I was eight years old and to knit when I was twelve. I come from a very crafty family. My grandfather was a tailor, and my grandmother was a shopkeeper. Still, every bit of free time she had, she spent crocheting. She worked constantly. I…
My Journey to Machine Knitting
I learned to crochet when I was eight years old and to knit when I was twelve. I come from a very crafty family. My grandfather was a tailor, and my grandmother was a shopkeeper. Still, every bit of free time she had, she spent crocheting. She worked constantly. I always remember her as old—because she truly was old. I believe she retired around the age of fifty-five, before I was born, so I never actually saw her working, even though she had worked since she was a child.

Yarn Addiction

Dear Blog, I've gone and done it this time! I went on a yarn shopping spree. When I was visiting one of my favorite thrift stores in the next town over (did I mention that I love antiques?) I found a guy whose job is to deliver cones of yarns to local yarn stores in bulk. He usually…
Yarn Addiction
Dear Blog, I've gone and done it this time! I went on a yarn shopping spree. When I was visiting one of my favorite thrift stores in the next town over (did I mention that I love antiques?) I found a guy whose job is to deliver cones of yarns to local yarn stores in bulk. He usually ends up with a lot of leftover yarn so decided to sell it to whoever happened to stop by.

Knitting or Crocheting?

Don't let anyone deter you from continuing with your craft! Dear Blog, These past two weeks have been hectic. I am back to work and my stress levels are, again, through the roof. I haven't had much time to knit, but I have been doing some reading. That being said, I…
Knitting or Crocheting?
Don't let anyone deter you from continuing with your craft! Dear Blog, These past two weeks have been hectic. I am back to work and my stress levels are, again, through the roof. I haven't had much time to knit, but I have been doing some reading. That being said, I stumbled upon a book about Tunisian crochet. I know the basics and took a course online, however, I was curious about the content of this book.

Civil War has started. The National Guard has been deployed to attack our citizens. Trump must be stopped. #resistance #civilwar #defenddemocracy #supportlosangeles #stopmaga #humanrights
aclu.org ACLU @aclu.org · Jun 8
President Trump's deployment of federalized National Guard troops is unnecessary, inflammatory, and an abuse of power.

The Trump administration is putting people in LA in danger and undermines the democratic principle that the military should not police civilians.
