For the Kids at WWKIP Toronto
There will be knitting spools (also known as French knitting, knitting nancys, and various other names) for kids to learn to knit. I know it’s what got me hooked before I graduated to needles.
They look like this (Desmond the cat not included).
Desmond helps demonstrate how it’s done:

Yarn Bombing @ Toronto WWKIP Day
More awesome news for WWKIP TO edition. We now have the rules for the space from the city. Nothing (including yarn bombs) can be attached to the buildings, trees, or benches on the grounds. However, yarn bombing any of our own stuff is fine! So yarn bomb your lawn chair, your spinning wheel, your hat, or the pretend tree we’re bringing!
At 6 feet tall, it will need a lot of bombing to cover it… so get knitting/crocheting!

Texts between my brother and me
Bro: I have had to listen to country the whole time I’m in in the truck for the past two days, and likely will tomorrow. Perhaps even the day after.
Me: Dear God. I am so sorry.
Bro: Not only is it country, but the same 10 or so songs seem to make up at least 80% of the station’s music air time. I don’t even think I’m exaggerating. That’s actually probably fairly accurate. A snippet of the lyrics of one song is “Rain makes corn. Corn makes whiskey. Whiskey make my baby get a little frisky.” That little gem serves as his main argument to back up his thesis that “rain is a good thing.” I think I could feel my brain dying a little.
DIY “I Knit So I Won’t Kill People” Glitter Pillow Tutorial. I posted a similar pillow Donatella did here (also link to a pattern with a similar quote in knitted form) using the same freezer paper stencil. Donatella’s paint recomendations are always spot on because she actually washes whatever she makes and after she washed this the glitter paint was still there! Tutorial from inspiration & realisation here.
The accuracy of this quote is astounding.
