I’ve been neglecting Mastodon, but I’ll be at PAX East today in an outstanding comfy green jumpsuit!
I’m so grateful to have the best wardrobe team and swing working with me and covering me on Light in the Piazza

Tony PenninoIt was the fuck aroundingiest of times, it was the find outingiest of times.
Blown away by this community once again. Thanks everyone who entered and/or said kind things in the chat. You’re why I keep picking my knitting back up. Without you this would be 30% complete in a tote bag under a table.
I’m almost halfway done with a project for 2025….
- if you want to do something more ambitious than your last project consider ways to increase quality or impact without increasing work. Nicer materials or a two year project so you can spend more time on it.
- Once a crafter, Always a crafter. If you took a year off or you didn’t submit in time or you didn’t finish in time you’re still a crafter!

- I always struggled to determine how many hours a project took because I get distracted and then I think I don’t know how much time I spent actually knitting. You know what? I was working all that time. If it took me longer because I have ADHD? Good for me! Doing something when it takes twice as long due to a disability??? That’s a lot of work, so I estimate and give myself full credit for the time I put in.

My advice for anyone with ADHD who wants to take part in the #desertbus #Craftalong is
- go ahead and choose something ambitious if that’s what motivates you! All my best crafts have incorporated techniques I hadn’t attempted yet
- start early and assess where you are when submissions open! I only submit a proposal if I’m halfway through the project when submissions open. I don’t scrap the project, I submit the following year
