Surveying the passing scene and cracking wise. Knitting, spinning, a bit of art, words, history, sci-fi, and who knows what. Come sit here by me. *pat pat*

@Carolyn_on_X Thank you for that. I would have panicked if I’d seen them missing without knowing they’re still there somewhere!

@ggioiamelissa Wow, love the bold immediacy of that sky, and the intense green that balances it.

@staithesartist Love that seagull painting

[Cathy @yarnstruck]

@CoraCHarrington Curious who the painter is, if you know, thanks.

[Cathy @yarnstruck]

We should bring back hats like this. In such a hat, I would be a force to be reckoned with.

@t_gainsborough @artist_reynolds Misleading to post this Gainsborough without noting that it’s an *exact* copy he made of the famous 1638 van Dyck painting.

Can’t wait for the Olympic skating competitions. Winter Olympics are the best!

[WTOP @WTOP]

World champions and Olympic favorites Ilia Malinin and the ice dance team of Madison Chock and Evan Bates turned the final night of the U.S. Figure Skating Championships on Saturday into less of a competition and more of a coronation. https://t.co/Q6poCPUY9R

@LaurenCDeutsch @madparisfr Son of heaven seems an odd name for a dress. The word fils also means threads. Fils du ciel could translate to threads of heaven (or the sky).

@lizaadamczewski Suggests a shepherd’s crook. Beautiful.

[Cathy @yarnstruck]

@GardenBrocante Gorgeous. The bronze centers on those fuchsia ones!

[Cathy @yarnstruck]

@TheAntiM Wow, congratulations! 🍾 (Had to check the alt text to be sure, given your general fondness for rocks and all.)

[Cathy @yarnstruck]

@TechnicallyRon That is a fuzzy slipper. The other one around must be around somewhere.

[Cathy @yarnstruck]

@itsnotaboutwork Nice gestural work.

People in an Edward Hopper piece are always so alone, even if they’re together. Even his landscapes look alienated.

don’t understand why pastry production is skewed in favour of morning people. It’s 7pm and I’m want a fresh pastry but they’re nowhere to be found? What necessitates pastry chefs waking up at 6am to bake for the morning crowd? For what sin are evening dwellers being punished?

[Cathy @yarnstruck]

@TheAntiM Good choice. Very apropos around here. :)

[Cathy @yarnstruck]

@TheAntiM Maybe? Have been thinking about Threads, except for that pesky non-anonymity thing. I like my comforting cozy pseudonym. Miss my old Twitter friends, though.

Ancient Roman fast food joints

[Trimontium Trust @TrimontiumTrust]

Thermopolia were found throughout the #Roman Empire. Food and drink was kept in earthenware jars embedded in the holes in the counter, helping to keep them warm. The food they served was designed to be eaten on the move

[Cathy @yarnstruck]

@LizLovick That’s exciting news! (except for the squashed box)
