My church’s inaugural summer craft fair has become a harvest fair. New date is November 1, 2025 which is totally appropriate given that it’s at #AllSaints #Episcopal Church in #Omaha I believe we still have vendor space available, contact me for details.

#TFW you still get sales fliers from Kohls but refuse to shop there because they work with Amazon 😫

A worthwhile read for anyone wondering how 🍊 #tariffs will impact #yarn www.reddit.com/r/Yarn/s/sBh... #knitting #crochet

Decided to go back to my fiber arts roots: crochet. There are a number odd reasons for this from wanting to be a kid again sharing yarn with my grandmother, to just wanting to do something different. The biggest reason, however, is that no machine can #crochet so my creations are unique & handmade

Does it count as #KnittinginPublic if you’re sitting across from a strip mall but on the deck in your own backyard? 🤔

It’s the #InternationalYearofCooperatives so here’s a shout out to all the #Yarn & #FiberArts related #co-op & #WorkerOwned or #EmployeeOwned organizations in the #KnitVerse including #CloseKnitYarn in Los Alamos, NM USA Shop their amazing selection at: close-knit-yarn-cooperative.shoplightspeed.com

The solution is this: “unite with determination the right means for carrying out good works. Collaborate more… Money, placed at the service of life, can be managed in the right way by the [true] #cooperative, where capital does not rule over people, but people over capital,” Pope #Francis

Anybody using #Ghost as a #substack or #medium alternative? What are your thoughts about it? 🤔

Love the colorway! 😍🤩 What is it?

Is anyone using #Ghost to monetize their #Writing #Blogging #Newsletter ? Wondering how it compares to #Substack or #Medium even #Wordpress

I really enjoyed my #Lenten social media fast. Definitely needed the break & time to refocus. I’m looking forward to re-engaging with folks, however, followers might notice some changes. On this account I’m going to try to focus on #knitting #crochet #yarn #fiberarts 🧶 & getting my business going

Happy Eastertide! As part of my business-planning & launch, I’m reading #ContemplativeKnitting by the Rev. #JulieCicora & posting my #SpiritualReflections over on #Mastodon at episcodon.net/@Jay

Reminder: after around 900k total casualties, #Russia currently occupies 19% of #Ukraine. It occupied 30% three years ago, when it had less than 100k total casualties. Let’s stop pretending that Russia is in a position of strength. It’s only #Trump that tries to put it in one.

🚨Red Congress is perfectly fine being complicit in hitting Americans where it hurts.

Why are some still hesitating to hit them were it hurts to help save Medicaid ? 💸

FYI I’m going on a social media/technology fast for #Lent. My phone will be fully functioning only at work. The rest of the time I have greatly limited the number of people & apps that can “get through” to me. If you reach out, be prepared to wait for a reply. See everyone after #Easter! 🧶📚📖📝🖋️

There is no evidence, anywhere, ever, ever & adieu, that there is a connection, briefest parting glance, or muttered apology of connection, between the far right & what anyone thinks of as civilisation.

I’ve got it on 3 DPNs The problem is that it’s a very small circle making things fiddly with one fewer needle

Oh boo 😞 this is on Ash Wednesday and I have to work 🥺 otherwise, I’d love to join a team and #knitforfood
