"Traditions vary dramatically from place to place, shaped by landscape, history, values and climate. While many nations do exchange gifts, the rituals around them differ enormously. These long-loved customs show us that Christmas doesn't need to be transactional; it can be collaborative, creative or community-driven, from singing in candlelit churches to quietly honouring family – or even appreciating spiders. "

My favorite yarn dyer has exactly one sale a year. Now is the time.

20% off of all of their in-stock items!

I've used fingering weight bases Yummy 2-ply, Avon, and Caroline and DK weight base Yowza; I like them all. Yummy 2-ply does require a good soak to really look good as a fabric, so maybe avoid that one if you don't like to block your projects.

@Thomas omg it’s on letterboxd https://boxd.it/yDBM

@neil we even have a little magic formula to more or less gently remind the other person when they overstep the demarcation line: “mein backe backe Kuchen”, loosely “my bakey bakey cakey” - the sort of thing one 3yo might say to
another while playing in the sandbox.

@erotica Not for me, but they'd certainly be better for me if they did.

Did you know that bees beat their wings around 200 times a second, generating air volumes comparable to bats and birds, enabling them to fly at speeds of 15 to 20 miles (24 to 32 kilometers) per hour?
