An acquaintance who knows I knit and crochet just gave me a serger and said “you’re crafty, I bet you could use this” 😅 well, I guess now I have to figure it out, cause that’s too kind of a gift to waste!

This was for a baby shower.. 18 months ago 🫠 one day I’ll learn not to over commit!

Standard vs extended single crochet

@kathleenvstuart Aw thanks! I’m just used to IG and tend to forget about here

[Ruth @orchardplusyarn]

Time for my once-per-quarter post here 😅 nobody sees stuff here anyway

[Ruth @orchardplusyarn]

Well, I *was* going to crochet. Thanks, Jane!

Hello, Elon 👀

[Ruth @orchardplusyarn]

@ktb38 Smoke. I’m currently debating going and living at the library for the rest of the day because we don’t have air conditioning or filters of any kind

[Ruth @orchardplusyarn]

@ktb38 Probably Hobbii at this point

[Ruth @orchardplusyarn]

@ktb38 *cough* TWILIGHT *cough*

[Ruth @orchardplusyarn]

@ktb38 I didn’t. I don’t like mustaches 😂

@robo_tabby @kagleslie @ktb38 Yuppp I went into an LYS for a knit night and didn’t know how it worked… like I figured someone would invite me to sit and knit. Instead, I was pressured into and rushed through a purchase.

[Ruth @orchardplusyarn]

@ktb38 And such a you color, too!

It��s a lovely life! You just have to be ok with being dirty and wet on the days that aren’t Instagramable lol

[KatieBea @ktb38]

Random person- "oh I'd love a homestead, it seems like such a lovely life!"
Me, covered in mud and manure up to my knees, and soaking wet, because animals need to be fed even in a storm- uh huh. Sure.

@GermanderCC I’m finding the more I wear cardigans the less I button them. I think this looks great as-is

[Ruth @orchardplusyarn]

@GermanderCC I’m slightly giggling but also not that you have to use the criteria listed. Because someone will, for sure, apply saying “Ive always wanted to learn to knit socks!”

[Ruth @orchardplusyarn]

…there’s other ways to not meet up with people again. Like saying you won’t be available or “no thank you” 🤨

[Callum Stephen (He/Him) @AutisticCallum_]

My PSA to autistic people that most “let’s grab a coffee” statements aren’t real invitations, just something many say out of politeness, because it’s a social custom to pretend to want to meet up with people and then not try to. My calm & accurate explanation was read as hatred!

[Ruth @orchardplusyarn]

@GermanderCC Heck, just having one version can cause burnout and resentment towards our work 😂
