Fully completed shawl, hanging up to dry. I wish I could lay it flat to block it, but my apartment is small and my cat is a menace. It's mostly (old mystery) fingering weight acrylic anyway, but held double with some lace weight merino for a little warmth.

No formal pattern, I made it up as I went along. It will be a gift for a colleague. Second finished project of 2025! #crochet @fiberarts #fiberArts #yarn

This is the shawl that never ends...

Yarn is from Living Dreams Yarn in the color Helios, with a few KPPM from Koigu, all in happy squishy sock merino.

The main goal for 2025 is to continue doing nice things for myself! I need to keep my own cup filled, so I can pour joy and support into others. :bunhdcomfy: ๐Ÿซ– ๐ŸŽจ ๐Ÿงถ :heart_sparkles_gay: :blobcat_book:

At least 2 hours of the class are about "how to use ChatGPT/AI to respond in challenging circumstances" and I'm so grossed out by this.

Management is making me take an online "Communicating With Tact And Professionalism" class, cuz I'm too direct.

I'm also taking "Communication For Women". So I can learn how to tell them to go f* off, but politely.

Take what you need as you pass on by.

In English, it's easy to forget that To-Be is a verb, an action. Some days, that's all we need to do.

I want to attempt the Chrysanthemum Hat pattern, but I don't have experience with short rows. Can anyone suggest a good intermediete project to help me learn?

A is for... Atmosphere! A #sundog is an atmospheric optical phenomenon that consists of a bright spot or small rainbow on one or both sides of the Sun, in line with the horizon. They are caused by the refraction of sunlight on high ice crystals in the atmosphere, and are typically seen near sunrise or sunset, especially if the sun is shining through a cloudy spot.

I have THREE #knitting projects going, all on size 1 needles. I really need to finish something, so I can move on to the sweater that's been haunting my daysreams. These teeny tiny stitches are slowly killing me.

-Never-ending shawl is never-ending

-Mittens need gussets and thumbs

-Scrappy socks need heels and toes

A bit of Fibonacci for your day. She's pretty in pink.

Technically it's a #succulent called an Aeonium, but I think it fits #bloomscrolling neatly as well. #foliage #plants

Any interesting art challenges starting up in January? Jumping into a new #sketchbook today, and I'd love some inspiration! I tend to do well with challenges to keep me motivated. #ArtChallenge #MastoArt

On my first day of Knitmas, I crocheted myself a new hat. A little slouchy, but quite cozy.

For anyone who cares, I made the pattern up myself. After the initial flat circle for the crown, it's just sc-hdc cluster stitches, with a fpdc ribbed border. Cascade 220 Superwash Aran Wave yarn with a size J hook.
