Queer, Jewish, witchy-adjacent, and obsessed with my little dog. Obviously not speaking for or on behalf of my employer. Fiber artist that is into WIPs and chains.

This dog is well aware of how cute he is. He weaponizes it.

“Tax the rich” is akin to racial slur, says incredibly wealthy racist white man, Steven Roth.

Is someone trying to send me some sort of fucked up message? Packages had my name and address. Returns address appears to be for a strip mall in Los Angeles. I did not order this. Looks like a potty pad for the dog.

That’s it, everyone. A friend found where the sidewalk ends. We can shut down the internet.

A sign with black lettering on a white background that says SIDEWALK ENDS. It has a black border and is attached to a metal stand that has been bolted to cement. It sits in a quiet suburb in Berkeley near a shrub. Directly behind the sign is what looks like could be a driveway.

It really is a fun book. Like many crafters, I try to find solutions to make the patterns work, even if it’s just forcing something through. Here’s my Mindflayer.

Ahhh! A carnivorous plant monster! All patterns used in this creature, with the exception of the small cylindrical base, are by Crafty Intentions. The base is of my own design. I modified one pattern for a better look on the eye-stalks, most pieces attached to the creature are truncated. #crochet

Ari@kobaltjew· Mar 23

I found one and only one, but it’s chibi style.

I finished my first knitted hat. This is the Melt the Ice Toque. I used a little over one skein of Knomad’s Marshmallow DK yarn that I dyed myself using Dharma Acid Dyes in Oxblood Red and a little True Black. The pattern designer offered this one for free on Ravelry. #knit 🧶

House Dems want ICE reformed? Like ICE could be reformed. Nah, let’s burn ICE and DHS to the ground. No need to replace them.

It makes my brow furrow is what it does. Separately, did some change the name of English to Portuguese and I’ve just been too busy to notice?

Ari@kobaltjew· Jan 28

So quit. There are not small enough violins for this bull.

A roll of “Fully Cooked” stickers.

The one sticker that can be seen fully is black on yellow, in between what looks like black on green.

This is a variation on the Saltwater Afghan by Toni Lipsey. I used two 14.1 oz balls of We Love Yarn in cream and dark navy. It has the tiny dog’s seal of approval. #crochet

In white text on a black background:

“Don’t you already have that yarn color?”

No, I need Midnight Blue. That’s clearly 11:47 PM Navy.
