A rectangle of single crochet V stitches in bright blue, green, red, orange, and purple
A rectangle of single crochet columns in shades of light blue and purple
And more, because I managed to make 7 this week and can only add 4 photos at a time:
A rectangle made of double crochets in bright blue, green, red, orange, and purple
A rectangle of treble crochets in shades of light blue and purple
A rectangle made of double crochets in bright blue, green, red, orange, and purple
A rectangle made of single crochets in bright blue, green, red, orange, and purple making a vaguely plaid diagonal pattern of squares.
And some rectangles I've started making and gathering for Warm Up America:

The top photo features them on a white woman's feet with one foot pointing parallel to the camera and the other raised with the toe pointed at the floor, showing off the top of the sock. The bottom photo is both socks laying flat arranged in a rectangle with the toe of one above the ankle of the other on a black desk mat with scattered blue squares.

Wednesday did not register as Wednesday, and yesterday I ran out of time while writing the post before work, but I did manage to get a finished objects post up this week, including these three vanilla socks:

I'm gonna walk more hats to the post office today.

A digitally drawn homage to the George Herriman comic strip Krazy Kat. Starting left of frame we see yellow Ignatz Mouse having just thrown a brick which is sailing across the center of the frame and in another instant will bash the oblivious Krazy Kat (a blue bipedal cartoon cat wearing a red scarf) in the back of the head as he walks innocently to the right. Everything is drawn in rough black pen and colored in pale washes. A speech bubble from Ignatz reads ‘Maybe it will…’, the word ’Happen’ appears in the whooshing trail of the sailing brick, and a final speech bubble belonging to the Kat reads ‘…Today’.
A white woman's hand holds the teal toes of two knit socks on a long circular needle over the sidewalk. She is wearing a green fabric watch band and a purple flower-shaped yarn holder on the same wrist. Her shadow and blurry foot are visible on the sidewalk.
And then I tried them on when I got the first heel done, and they were too short. So here we go again.

This morning I could've either waited half an hour in the shade for the bus to the dentist, or I could walk half an hour in the sun. It was too cold for the shade. Plus I spent enough of the rest of my time today on the bus, so I got my steps in.

DO NOT OUT PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY VULNERABLE CHILDREN
Now that I've set up my recording booth, I have added a version with a voiceover:

Four black plastic pipes arranged in a square with three-way connectors at each corner on a speckled brown carpet. More pipes are laying next to it in plastic bags
A tall rectangular structure built of black plastic pipes with elastic bands across the top and a heavy black blanket hanging from one corner
The structure from the other picture, now covered on all side with the heavy black blankets and a square topper made of the same style of blanket
Put all those years using the "Crazy Forts" system to build blanket forts with kids to use building my Snap Studio today. Took me the length of the "Jagged Little Pill" album to get it all put together.
A cross stitch of a blue shark with the text ‘trans rights or I bites’ around it. The design is framed in a circular embroidery hoop with blue pom-poms around it.
Chomp chomp!

The rule is the rule
I do not like this gen AI
I do not like what it implies
I do not want it in my art
I do not think it makes you smart
I do not want it in my games
I do not like its goals and aims
I do not want it in my books
I do not like the way it looks
I do not like it, I don't care
I do not want it anywhere
I have belt bag I use for walking that I used to stuff the yarn ball in. Bought this holder because I got tired of it tangling on itself and in the zipper pull doing that, haha
Because you need something uplifting & human today
Since incredible musicians.
A flower yarn holder hanging in front of the infotainment screen in a car with a ball of pink, yellow, and maroon yarn on it and a white woman's hand holding the attached knit socks in front of it to the left
Hung the yarn holder from the mirror yesterday waiting in the pick up line, but had to almost immediately switch it back to "tabletop mode" on the center console because I was waiting for the last practice to finish and had to keep inching forward as cars left.

I think I was intimidated because they were such a big thing when they came out, and then they were very nice and not intimidating to work up once I actually started
And the link to my Ko-Fi post with more info, including roughly the method I used for my laundry bag:

A pair of socks knit from two ends of the same ball of yarn in stripes of bright yellow, orange, pink, purple, blue, and green with a basketweave style stitch pattern around the ankle and on the instep on a white woman's feet with one planted on the ground parallel to the camera showing off the side and the other toe pointing into the ground to show off the top of the sock.

And finally, a pair of socks I made up as I went. This one is the start of a longer project of trying as many sock heels as I can, starting with my usual heel flap and gusset.
A gray poncho laying flat on the floor between blinds and a light blue plastic container. The poncho is crocheted with rows of eyelets between solid rows and a scalloped edge.

I also crocheted a poncho, which is something else I've wanted to make and never did.
A pair of socks arranged in a rectangle with one facing left and the other turned sideways with the toe in the space between the toe and ankle of the other. The socks have a woven braid texture on the ankle and instep and are knit in self-striping yarn with stripes of bright yellow, orange, pink, purple, blue, and green.

Next up, I knit the Monkey Socks by Cookie A, which was a pattern I have wanted to make for a long time and just hadn't for some reason.
A large mesh bag crocheted with three shades of thread, light beige, darker beige, and a white trim and handles, with two tie handles at the top laying on a wood floor next to blinds.
A mesh crocheted laundry bag made of beige and white thread with the handle straps tied together with some laundry in it.

It's the last Friday of February, and I have one last large roundup of projects for you, starting with this crocheted laundry bag I freehanded:

I continue to be fascinated by the phenomenon whereby an expert engages with any of the LLMs on their field of expertise and is instantly horrified by the wrong answers, and then goes on to use it for things they are not experts in as though it won’t be just as bad for those.
