My sick day project was to finish the first rainbow midsummer crown of this year. I haven't got so much time for this hobby lately so it was good to get it done. More recent projects in the second photo.

🧵 crochet hook, but a sharp needle. Or a pair of scissors that cuts the debate short.

I am so very tired of this! 🤢
But maybe I should take that as my cue: embroider cute flowers and prick away such guys. Crochet granny squares and cut things up. 😈

I do love #craftivism. I didn't know that my age urges me to do it. Even #grannies can be politics!

Living in the country of the "Tricoteuses", the famous knitting women of the French Revolution, I have a soft spot for #craftivism like this: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/29/ice-knitting-protest-immigration

#Handicrafts and #fiberArts are dangerous for authoritarian regimes because they connect and enable people.

‘Rage knitting’ against the machine: the hobbyists putting anti-ICE messages into crafts

Makers take a stand through ‘Melt the ICE’ red knit caps and sparkly nails – all while raising funds for those affected by immigration raids

An Album of Chinese Flora 🪷

Reached into the public domain to find this gorgeous collection of floral art. So I bound it into a book. Gonna be a gift for my plant science nerd of a friend.

At the Christmas market on Cologne's Heumarkt, a blacksmith has also set up his workshop and forges small horseshoes that can be engraved with names.

back to the original socks in this thread. heel is done so i can get bit better photo.

i think the reason why i knit like this is that my AuDHD ass doesn’t get bored. each row & the end result is unpredictable. i was not looking forward to these bc i thought it would look plain & boring! got that blue striped yarn from a lot i purchased. would not have bought it otherwise.

but surprise, they are fucking gorgeous. #ActuallyAutistic #knitting #craftodom #handicrafts @autistics
