 Well. I have tidied my room, done the laundry, cleaned the kitchen, and folded the clothes. There's no more avoiding it now. Time to sew on the damn buttons. #knitting #handmade #handcraft #justchatting

 This is a shrug I made for a friend, a garment meant to keep your shoulders warm. She wanted these colors, and I wanted to explore bias and short rows. Never again will I work in black or buy cheap yarn. Still, it came out rather nice, and she is happy. Maybe I'll play with these ideas again one day. #knitting #handmade #handcraft

 Gracie, in her shrimp pose. I love to scratch under her chin. She seems to enjoy it even if she's sound asleep. #cat #catsofmastodon

 This is my storage system for the bamboo circular #knitting needles I prefer. These circulars are so cheap I can have many sets, allowing me to have any number of projects going, or to do large projects in the round. This is just a box with bubble padded mailers, with the flaps cut off. I've labeled each one with the sizes in US, UK, and metric. The tubing coils neatly, and each envelope can hold several needles. @3694a3ce

I didn't even finish it, so disappointed. It felt like he was just phoning it in, very low-effort. Maybe his next one will be better.
