this is the second project finish that I mentioned the other day. I saw this star blanket pattern and immediately had to try it. I made it using 100% wool yarn cuz it was cold and it just felt right.

it's a throw and the size is perfect for a person to cuddle with on the couch. I'll bust out a measuring tape and get you a real measurement if you really need it.

but star shaped? why? yeah, I asked the same question. seems like a weird shape for a throw, right? I had to find out. after spending time with it on my lap while I was making it, it just works. I don't know how to explain it. the points fall where they should and it's so pleasant and satisfying to look at.

I put love and care into making this but I want to make more. I'm sending this one out into the world to be loved on and used.

taro has been cutting molars. poor babe. I hope he sleeps a little better tonight.

So happy you were able to do it!!

me too! I wanna do it again 😅

😮 amazing

as I was doing it, I realize it takes way more skill and concentration than I initially imagined.

Please post a pick of the monster crotchet hook required to make such a blanket.

it's made with no hooks or needles. each loop is pulled by hand.

yay it's done! sooo cushy, sooo soft. I'm seriously considering opening up the offer again so I can make another one. It was amazing that putting out creative energy and desire into nostr manifested itself into a real, tangible thing. y'all are amazing 🤩

two project finishes yesterday! I'll be posting photos after we're done running errands. man, I'm so excited to show you guys 😆

I got started on my chunky cozy blanket and it is SO FUN.

Did you allow your baby to be vaccinated right when they were born?

Which vaccines do you feel are important? If you did vaccinate did you delay it?

just fyi, when conversations around vaccines come up, the people who respond are usually those who didn't vaccinate according to recommendations. the ones who did don't bother responding to online conversations about it.

I'd recommend talking to people you trust in person to get a fair assessment.

Hot take:

Why does severance season 2 suck compared to season 1?

It’s so freaking slow and boring

Silo was the same way

Interesting … 🧐 it’s an eraser ✏️ stencil in my field of work. Kinda wild 😜

you can use it that way too

What is this ?

it's a stencil used in technical drawings to draw precise shapes and lines.

Ow yes! The "i" is more general than 🔧 .

Perfect.

only for an English speaking audience though

yesterday I put out an offer to make a blanket if they bought the yarn and someone took me up on it! can't wait to get started 😁

Some good points have been made to me about my last post that I think I should address.

#asknostr at end of this post.

When I posted this, I was considering all kinds of “intervene” to be covered at the far left of the graphic. This includes both merely verbal and potentially physically violent situations.

Really, these should have been two separate categories. Men who physically intervene to prevent rape ARE HEROIC. That isn’t basic decency. They are risking their lives.

And even if it isn’t a violent fight, but putting your hand over a cup so the other guy at the party can’t put a pill in it and he knows you are watching, I still call that heroism.

If I had made this graphic, I would not have crossed out “heroic” even for only verbal intervention, by which I mean calling out someone else’s “joke” or victim-blaming. I tend to disagree, at least in this case, with those who think there is no moral obligation to speak up in these particular situations, but I still think it’s beyond “decent;” I think it is GOOD to speak up.

The graphic only mentions men as accountable, but of course women are accountable too, and men are also victims of rape culture, for example, the acceptance / embracing of prison rape. I think we should speak out against all of it.

What do you think — are social dissociation and ostracism more effective tools than speaking out against things people say?

I don’t think the first can be that effective without the second, at least for in-person interactions. nostr:note1ke43h9cmzpvehdq6pldlx3rzmv674tynr3z9ekkvyswcs395j4kqcws7k9

social dissociation and ostracism leads to those people entrenching themselves deeper into their bubbles. I think when you come across those people you should make your disgust known and speak out against them. "dude, gross. that's inappropriate." *leave*

when it's a friend of a friend at a party or some guy at the club, one should say something and extricate from the situation. Doing both has the biggest effect, I think.

The trouble is when that person is someone closer to you, a long time friend, a cousin, a brother, an uncle or maybe your own father? You must say something but ostracizing them might be difficult.

Was trying to explain to my therapist the other day who said "Why do you care what other people think?" and I explained that, if left to my own devices, I'd basically dress like a 1940s tramp and while maybe that might be considered "my style," when I'm in public I like to look like I made the effort to look like something approaching normal. When I'm at home alone though? It's grandma toddler all the way.

Sophia and I tried the fancy Korean strawberries! Or as Paul calls them, “Wagyu strawberries”

They are HIGHLY fragrant, and not just of strawberry, but also of melon.

Their skin is extra smooth, almost like it’s polished, and their texture is not like a normal strawberry, but very smooth, similar to a melon or mango but less dense. It reminded me a lot of the good quality Korean fruit-flavored candy my roommate used to share with me, and makes me want to try a fancy Korean apple sometime (the apple flavor was my favorite)

Somewhat disappointingly, they’re white inside, not red. The other box even had berries with white on the outside of them.

Another disappointment: there was a faint, faint hint of mildew-like “long storage” taste, and no wonder, considering they were shipped from Korea.

I won’t buy again, but I’m glad I tried them, as the powerful fragrance and unique texture were interesting.

Sophia doesn’t seem to be any more interested in them than in normal strawberries (which she likes, but less than blueberries or pawpaws)

😆

😂 I feel you on this! These chonky blankets look so fun, but I'd die either from the cold of needing to use it or from the heat of it being used 😒. I hope you get a taker 🫂💜

I really really hope someone will take me up on it!
