why am i buying more yarn

hi fellow knitters/crocheters - if you are finding yourself having a hard time with life lately amongst the horrific news coming out of the USA, specifically the Twin Cities due to ICE and Trump, and you want to give back while also creating (because creation is important during these times for many different reasons) - here are two hat patterns that are the funds are going to those who have been directly impacted by the actions of ICE. Inspired by the Norwegian's form of protest against the Nazis in the 1940's: the Melt the ICE Hat - knit pattern and Melt the ICE hat - crochet pattern.

im watching a little doc on youtube about an 11th century castle, and theres a bit where they are talking to a group of older women who are working on a large hand embroidered tapestry commemorating its nearly 1000 years of history & into the modern era.. and off on the border they show a bit where the women have stitched themselves working on it into the piece itself, and it made me kinda emotional

Okay, random headcanon.
