A tabletop loom sits in the backseat of a car.
Attended the South Jersey Guild of Spinners and Handweavers today, for the first time. Acquired a free 2 harness tabletop loom. I guess I'll be learning how to weave now 😆.
I like the vibe of this group, I'll be joining. 🧶
Went to my first #NJPW last night! Great show, especially the Takeshita match. I need to get out to local wrestling shows more often.
A screenshot from Reddit showing two posts: the first regarding the strike on Iran that hit a girl's school and killed 40, and below it a post about Fetterman praising the strike.
Praising the strike on Iran that hit a girl's school? Not a good look for you, @fetterman.senate.gov .
Hey @governor.pa.gov , what are you doing about the Quakertown SD students who were physically assaulted by a plain clothed sheriff and then arrested for peacefully protesting ICE? youtube.com/shorts/d5ivD...
#fuckICE
This past week or two many high school students across Bucks county Pennsylvania staged peace protest walk outs. A lot of them had the support of school staff to do it. In Quakertown yesterday the chief of polic assaulted and arrest 5 students during a peaceful protest. youtube.com/shorts/k4p3r...
Pretty much.
LOL, thank you!
Thanks! Kinda sorta an apology. I did write them an email about it and they explained that their volunteers can't all tell the difference between crafts. Apparently some of their judges can't either 🫤. Nothing to be done except make sure I tag it myself next year.

A close up of the note left by the knitting judge on the crochet item, which was tagged in the wrong category.
Got my #PAFarmShow entries back! Super proud of the socks. Disappointed with the shawls. The volunteers tagged my items for me & they mixed up knit & crochet. The knitting judge left a lovely note about how she couldn't judge the crochet shawl. The knit shawl got 3rd in crochet...? 🤦🏻♀️🧶 🧦 #fiberarts
We don't want your data centers, though. My PECO bill is high enough, thanks.
Fluffy white locks of corriedale fiber are in the process of being unloaded onto a hackle from a hand comb.
A beautifully smooth nest of hand combed top, freshly dizzed off of the hackle that can be seen in the background.
FLOOF! Today I combed some corriedale into top during the Ply guild call. IT'S SO PRETTY. I made 4 of these fiber nests this afternoon. I'm going to comb as much of this fleece as possible, and then maybe hand card some rolags. #fiberprep #handspinning #yarn #corriedale #BAMfiberworks #spinsky 🧶
An overhead view of an e-spinner bobbin, filled with fresh 2ply yarn. Another bobbin with some remaining single ply is held above it.
The singles rested for two days, and now they are all plied up! Still some singles leftover. I'll take some as a sample for a spinning diary page, then maybe try out a plying bracelet with the rest. Prep was a mostly BFL batt, stripped . #handspinning #spinsky #eew6.1 #yarn #handspun #fiberart
I don't have one, but just in case you do, return that shit. #fuckice
A bobbin of singles is held up to another bobbin loaded onto an EEW6.1 e-spinner. The fiber is an early blend of browns, pink, and green.
Progress on the BFL singles. I'm going for a 2ply, and I'm onto the second bobbin. This kinda sorta supported long draw is going pretty well, I think. Haven't done much knitting recently, but I'm managing a little consistent spinning. 🧶 #handspinning #spinsky #eew6.1
Thank you! It's definitely more pleasant blended together than it was as little bits of individual colors.

An Ashford Traveller II spinning wheel, freshly assembled. It is an upright style wheel, with a clear lacquer finish. A Traditional Saxony wheel can be seen to the back left.
A close up of the wheel hub, showing where the metal tube pieces do not insert into the wheel.
The wheel that I bought in Jan is finally assembled! An old/new stock Traveller in double drive. Her name is Holda, I love her. She has a defect in her wheel hub or the uprights (spaces that I cannot eliminate) and I have to contact Ashford. 🧶 #handspinning #ashford #spinningwheel #fiberart #spinsky
An overhead view of a EEW6.1 e-spinner, the bobbin partially loaded with a single ply. The fiber is a muted blend of yellow, pink and brown, with a stripe of chartreuse.
A view of the carded batt of BFL fiber, folded in half. It is a muted blend of yellow, pink, and brown BFL with a chartreuse green stripe of a mystery long wool.
New spin on the #EEW6.1 with some very compacted BFL fiber that I was gifted. Ran it all through the drum carder to blend the colors and stripped it down to roving. Trying out a supported "long" draw. It's ok? Don't love the color, but it's good for practice. 🧶 #handspinning #fiberprep #fiberart
An image of MJF from AEW wrestling, during the Fuck ICE chants on Wednesday's Dynamite.
To be fair, not every wrestling fan is a far right idiot. And AEW is a much more progressive and inclusive company than WWE, so you will find more left leaning fans.

Good article, not so much the hideous photo below. Brody King is doing good things IRL, and I love that AEW lets him be genuine. Let's not forget that Trump is good friends with Vince McMahon, who had his own slew of sexual assault charges. #aew #fuckice

A colorwork knitting chart that can be substitute into the Eat The Rich hat pattern. The text says Fuck ICE.
A colorwork knitted hat in pink and white. The motif is a snowflake with a skull at the center, with a square text field that says "eat the rich".
Fellow knitters, many of you are familiar with the Eat the Rich hat. I give you a second alternative text chart. If you have knit an Eat the Rich hat, a free pattern, please donate to one of the organizations helping in Minneapolis, such as the ACLU. www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... #fuckice

You know what they're doing, Chuck! They aren't playing by the rules so why the F are you?! You and a lot of the established Dems are part of the problem!
THIS! A proper repost instead of the screen short I snagged from Reddit. Awesome artwork, Jordan. #fuckice

I sent so many emails today to ALL my representatives about the property that ICE purchased in Berks county, PA. There are two concentration camps planned in PA. Call them what they are. Call and write your reps! #FuckICE #FuckTrump @governor.pa.gov @fetterman.senate.gov
