I love people who craft and I love learning about other people's crafts because every single one is full of little things that non-practitioners wouldn't notice but others in the craft RAVE about.

Like, I'm a knitter, and before I started I couldn't tell a knit fabric from a crocheted one, and I mostly would appreciate pretty color choices and overall patterns. But now I drool over perfectly uniform stockinette or a good stretchy bind off, and don't even start me on neat floats on the back of fair isle!

Quilters will talk about the binding and stitch choice on a finished quilt, ceramics artists will gush over how a glaze turned out, embroiderers will sigh at perfectly smooth satin stitch, and a woodworker can spot a good join from a mile away.

There is so much more beauty and artistry in the world than we can see on our own.

actually we in the community prefer the term "escape artist." yes that is the preferred terminology. no i get it's not what you grew up with. yes i know you weren't trying to be offensive. going forward maybe just try to avoid stigmatized terms like "escaped fugitive" or "killer at large". we are trying to move beyond that as a community

Done with 48 hours to spare before I need to submit it for the Craft Expo. Hopefully the weather holds out for blocking and my hands are killing me and it’s past 1am here but this is the first thing I’ve made for myself in over 8 years and I’m absolutely DELIGHTED.

Pattern is Greek Amphora Cardigan by Colourway Knits.

Yarn is by Daffodil Road Artisan Yarn - super soft merino 10 ply in colours Autumn, Fudge, Liquorice and Terracotta.

^^ That's the CEO, he lives in San Francisco. This ad campaign purposely antagonizing workers must have been conceived and planned before a certain recent news story involving a widely hated CEO. "The way the world works is changing", indeed.

And a new Piranesi necklace. Carved shell, resin, sea glass, ceramic beads and pearls. Going to try making something with fragmented shells next, and to carve an ammonite. Something about the statues
