Scrolling on my phone until I see one (1) funny video, then immediately putting it down before I lose all the dopamine I just gained. It’s like cashing out at the casino before all your money is gone

"...the fact is worse than the gossip" 😱☕️
An old friend - our families have been neighbours for 5 generations before they bulldozed the district asked for my help.Concerned that the reputation of his family was being ruined by the shocking antics of his only sister. Tasked with separating gossip from fact, the fact is worse than the gossip

A tale worth telling! 🔍🕵🏻‍♀️
For those of you who look kindly upon my ramblings, please indulge me as I need to exorcise some recent- I could get well describe it as trauma- of shenanigans in which I have found myself unwittingly embroiled. This is only for Cloudies on the Sky here, however, I do feel the content might be more

The #Olympics final men's #hockey contest is essentially an #NHL #All-Star game, but one where winning is important and the players are trying their hardest rather than simply avoiding injury. Nothing better. #Canada 🇨🇦 #USA 🇺🇸 #Goldmedal 🥇🥈🏒

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college

*Cosmic Warfare
*Native American Cultures
*Formal Logic
*Intellectual History of Europe: 17th and 18th Centuries
*Women's Folklore and Feminist Theory

(Cosmic Warfare--Milton, Tolkien, C.S. Lewis and Charles Williams)
Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college

Sage, the Way, and Zen
Shakespeare
Religion and Modern Secularism
Creative Fiction Writing
International Political Economy

Pleasantly surprised how many of these classes proved useful later in life.

My favorite Chinese interpretation of the Milky Way is “The River of Stars.”
There’s something wonderfully poetic about that name. “The River of Stars” — 银河 (Yínhé) — feels less like astronomy and more like a doorway into myth, memory, and the way a culture imagines its place in the cosmos.

After blocking my swatch last night, I find that I am close to stitch gauge and way off on row gauge. @pattylyons.bsky.social says needle material can make a significant difference, so I'm going to switch from bamboo to metal. Other advice? Yarn is a cotton blend chainette. #VinterlandCardigan

I'm in. I have three projects I want to finish first, but this gives me a good deadline! 🧶
Like you.

All of the 2SLGBTQIA+ letters, the colors, the genders, the love, the ages. All of the yarn.

Please share what you make *and* the making of it with the tag #ScrapAlong2026.

#knitsky and #crochet friends, I need help. I have an aran weight crochet project that requires weaving in a few ends. I can't figure out how to finish the process, though, without having a strand or two awkwardly sticking out. Ideas? Suggestions? Experience? TIA 🧶
