A small crocheted toy in the likeness of Master Yoda is standing in front of a book with a photograph of a similar toy on the cover. There is a red gingham pattern bowl behind them both and it's all on a wooden tabletop.

Not much crafting as of late due to a minor health scare. But, I can say I've started yet another project through the mess. Yay, AuDHD! 😂 Anyway, I got a Star Wars crochet kit, and it included the materials for Yoda. I think he's looking good so far. #crochet #amigurumi #yarn #starwars #fiberartist
A small figure sitting on a hand. The figure has a green head with black eyes, a brown body, and green feet. It is slightly cone shaped and has a smile embroidered in black yarn. There is a wooden floor and a chair in the background, both are blurry.

The stupidity is rampant on MAGA media. They're advertising a collectible two dollar Trump bill. And they said that he's the only president to serve two non consecutive terms. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Good grief. How do they think they can they "make America great" when they don't know basic fucking US History?

The twist is set and it's hung up to dry. I may have usable yarn in a day or two! 🥰 #spinningyarn #spinnersky #yarnspinning #spinningwheel #learningtospin #yarn #fiberartist 🧶
Multicolored pastel yarn in loops and twists in soapy water. The background is black. Yarn hanging on a clothes hanger on a closet door. There are garments in the closet on the left and a full bookshelf on the right. There is a white T shape made from pvc weighing down the bottom of the yarn.

@scoutj.bsky.social here you go! Approximately one hundred yards of mostly even worsted with a few flubs. I'm highly pleased! #spinningyarn #spinnersky #yarnspinning #spinningwheel #learningtospin #yarn #fiberartist #knitting #crochet #fibertartsky 🧶
Yarn wrapped around a contraption made of pvc pipe with two sets of arms perpendicular to each other and mounted on a long bar between. The contraption is white and the yarn is various pastel colors. The whole thing is sitting on a white coffee table. There is a brown basket off to the left and a beige wall is behind it. Close up of strands of yarn strung around a white contraption. The yarn is various pastel shades and seems to be candy cans striped. The background is dark and nothing is in focus.

A full bobbin of... Something. 😂 I know it's BFL fiber, but weight? I got no clue. Some places it's fingering, some it's bulky. But I'm getting better. #spinningyarn #spinnersky #yarnspinning #spinningwheel #learningtospin #yarn #fiberartist #knitting #crochet #fibertartsky 🧶
A close up of a spinning wheel's flyer assembly. The bobbin is very full of yarn of varying thicknesses in multiple pastel colors. There's a black bedspread with bright green hexagons in the background.

Managed to get a decent amount of bulky weight single ply alpaca spun up before I managed to break the drive band. It ain't perfect, but it's mine. #yarn #yarnspinning #spinningwheel #learningtospin #fiberartist #spinningyarn #spinnersky 🧶
Close up of a wooden spinning wheel flyer assembly. The hooks are holding a strand of beige yarn. The bobbin has a good amount of beige yarn spun onto it.

Well... It's kinda pitiful. But it's a start. #fiberartist #yarn #spinningyarn #spinnersky #yarnspinning #spinningwheel #learningtospin 🧶 #crochet #knitting
Close up of a wooden spinning wheel flyer assembly. The hooks are empty. The bobbin has a small amount of beige yarn spun onto it. The bottom part of the wheel, a wooden floor, a wooden chest of drawers, and a baseboard heater can be seen in the background.

I has a hat. I am pleased. #knitting #fiberartist #knittingaddict #yarn #malabrigo #knithat #hatknitter #knit 🧶
A knitted hat done in a multitude of jewel tone colors lying on a brown table. Four double pointed knitting needles are on the lefthand side of the hat. A Caucasian woman wearing a hand knit hat. The hat is a multitude of jewel tone colors. She has long brown hair, and the angle obscures most of her face to focus on the hat. She's wearing a gray hoodie and has a long brown ponytail.

Well, won't be posting any finish shot today on the hat. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Got through all the decreases. Got the top closed. Damn thing was too short. So I ripped out all my progress since last night and back on the circ it went. Ugh. #knitting #fiberartist #malabrigo #yarn #knittingaddict #dammit 🧶
A knitted hat being made. The hat is made from very thick yarn. The yarn is multiple jewel tone colors. A Caucasian hand is holding the piece up and it is on brown needles. A wooden floor is in the background.

My father and stepmother gave me a little cash for my birthday this week, so I spoiled myself with a skein of #malabrigo Caracol yesterday. And now I have most of a hat for myself made from said skein. I am pleased. #knitting #fiberartist #knittingaddict #yarn 🧶 #knitsky
An unfinished knit hat. The yarn is very thick and multicolored jewel tones. The ball being used to make the hat is sticking out from underneath the ribbed brim, and the knitting needles the hat is on are brown. Various clutter in the background.

I'm about to slap this thing upside the mother of all. 🤣 But I'll get it with a little help from my Emotional Support Canadian, Carly. Hopefully. #yarn #fiberartist #spinningyarn #crochet #knitting #spinnersky
A dark wood antique spinning wheel is sitting on a brown woodgrain floor. There's an electric fireplace, a beige and flowered armchair, and a small green cabinet in the background.

I've been slack about dragon progress updates. I'm up to four pieces of the pattern left to crochet (damn carpal tunnel syndrome), and five left to attach. This is him currently. #crochet #crochetsky #amigurumi #fiberartist #yarn 🧶
Most of a blue and white crocheted dragon on a book of crochet patterns. The dragon has a blue head and body with a white belly and four white horns. He has bright green cat like eyes.

Sadly as close as I got to meeting Mrs. Foley's baby boy this weekend. The line was insane and everything was overpriced this year. But good memories were made and that's the best part. #prowrestling #mickfoley #wwe #wcw #wrestlingfan #bangbang
Mick Foley seated at a table with a blue table skirt. The table is covered in stacks of photographs. Mick is wearing a flannel shirt over a tie dyed tee shirt and he is looking at the photographer with an amused expression. Behind him is a man in a bleached black jacket getting ready to sit down at the table. There are other people in the background. The wall behind Mick is different shades of brown and the carpet is tan.

Anyone else notice something fucked up about my kid's toy spider? 🤣 #spookyshit #messedup #weirdtoy #wearetheweirdosmister
A large toy spider sitting on a white table in a kitchen. The spider has a purple velvet like body and metallic silver legs. The body is hunched up and the legs are at weird angles. The legs also appear to be made out of human bones.

One is a display piece. One is a cold, tasty beverage. Let's just hope I'm not so tired I mix them up. 😂 #spooky #spookyshit #closetgoth #everydayishalloween
Two glass containers shaped like human skulls sitting on a black mat. One is a decanter filled with a green liquid. The other is a jar style drinking glass with a black lid and straw filled with dark pink liquid. Lamp base and white wall in the background.
