Week 14 Crafty Time with Jessie At Home – the only thing constant is change

Week 14 of Crafty Time with Jessie demonstrated how the only thing constant is change. Things got a little heavy on Wednesday, but sometimes that’s part of life and change and growing. On a lighter note, there was cool embroidery and new crochet and general fiber fun!

Bind Off Purl Wise

Bind Off Purl Wise is simply the same as the Bind Off Knit Wise, but using purls in place of the knits. It’s a little fiddly at first, but still pretty easy. I don’t use this bind off too often, however it’s good to know for when it’s needed.

The Bind Off Knitwise is the most common way to bind off your knitting. Learn with photos, written instructions, and a video.

Doing the Right Thing – Power to the Yarnie

“The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.” — Dr Martin Luther King Jr

Starting several weeks ago various members of the Joy Creators/Stitch Ambassadors for Spinrite/Yarnspirations/Red Heart started sending emails to Spinrite asking them to take a stand against racism and make and implement an actionable plan to ensure inclusion and anti-racism in their company and in those they choose to represent them. These emails fell on deaf ears.

Week 13 Crafty Time with Jessie At Home – It’s OK to not be OK

Week 13 of Crafty Time with Jessie has been a bit of a rough week. I’ve had to remind myself several times that it’s OK to not be OK. Everything will be fine, but sometimes you just have to deal with a cruddy week. Thankfully I have awesome friends who always make things better. And of course, having 12 year olds who still cuddle on the couch with me helps a whole lot as well! Let’s not forget the wonderful stress-relieving powers of crafting. And of course, my lives with all of you have been very therapeutic as well. Thank you!
