I spend most of my time with kids (my own and my tutoring students) and cats. I try to read and knit or stitch - at least a little - every day.
Time for #introductions I guess!
I'm Jules. I spend most of my day with kids - I have a toddler and a 2nd grader, plus I do some tutoring on the side.
My main hobbies and interests are knitting, music (especially oboe), reading, and museums.
I'll post about those things, and my family (including the cats), but I'll also be posting about political topics. No one else is going to save us, so we need to save each other. I’ll share what I’m doing to help.
My #yarnuary #fiberarts stitching is coming along slowly, but I am really enjoying getting back into #embroidery. This kit is really pretty, and its fun using chunky cotton thread.

Pet me. Now.
I am far behind on everything. But it is a cold, grey day, and I will take a moment for a cup of tea before cleaning the bathroom.

If you’re having a day, and the universe seems overwhelming, might I recommend the Steven Universe soundtrack?

give them a copy of _the dispossessed_. you may save them years or an entire lifetime.
Hey #Yarnuary people! The hashtag poll has produced a result that’s been consistent for days and days: #fiberarts
So, go forth and tag your #fiberarts accordingly come February, plus any other tags that might be appropriate, like #needlefelting or #knitting or #sprang or, you know, whatever it is you’re doing.
Do people want me to come up with general optional monthly themes? Because I can continue to do that somewhat indefinitely if people would like (I might recycle them eventually).
Correction:
🎶You can snooze if you want to
don't leave those dreams behind
tho if you slept real good
and then you don't snooze
well, you'll get to work on time. 🎶
Here's a poll for people who want to continue #yarnuary indefinitely:

Let's pick a hashtag that won't keep changing!
I have some other questions about themes/challenges, but they can wait until another day.
Please boost if you know people who do fiber arts on Mastodon who might not have been doing #yarnuary.
I DO NOT HAVE THE BASIC KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED FOR HOME REPAIRS AND I AM REAL MAD ABOUT IT
Thankfully, the sharp end of the cat is pointing away from the knitting - at least, for now.

This is a reminder that your library might have patterns for your #Textiles #fiberarts #crossstitch #quilt
Your occasional reminder that we smashed the divine right of kings, and one day we'll smash capitalism, too.
