Quit your love for the Noose - Let's get political

*Quit your love for the noose* 


 "Are you surprised?" 

That's all I hear. 

I watch them run-

yell, "hold my beer" 


We saw them mob, 

They broke the glass. 

All in support - 

of that dumbass 


They ran to guns - 

With will to fight. 

All with no Fear - 

Because they were WHITE. 


We all just watched- 

In great disbelief - 

Of that red coup, 

Egged on by the "chief" 


They post online - 

"That's BLM!" 

"Recount the vote" 

My, what a gem. 


Do not deflect, 

We fought for lives. 

Not for a "man" 

(who) in chaos thrives. 


Just drop the cup, 

Don't drink the Juice. 

And quit that love, 

For that damn noose.

My dad would always say that money and worldly possessions were not important because we would not be able to take them with us as we crossed to the “other side.” As a planner this idea was something that I couldn’t come to terms with because if I couldn’t take my stuff with me, I would want someone else to have it.

For 2023 I will do just that.  I will share the shit out of my craft. So far I have had the privilege of sharing this craft with my mother and some cousins. As they become more accustomed...

A Dirtbag Bougie Knitter with anything BUT dainty hands.

-
I have NEVER had small dainty hands. I’ve been blessed with strong, basketball groping, orange peeling, blueberry pickin’ hands.  And it’s because of these hands that I have to share my misadventures with some of my tools.  I will never claim that I am easy on my tools, but I am also not actively trying to wreck my stuff. I have had needles in my stash that have withstood the weight of many sweaters, apartment moves, even partners…point is they have stuck around!  Like most, I have used clover bamboo needles for most of my knitting career (thanks Joann) and I only had issues with splinters at the tips due to wear and tear. But other than that they were good needles for me. But despite my fond memories I made the decision that I was not going to continue using bamboo needles because they were not slick enough.  Since I had some extra cash I graduated to stainless steel and had nooo issues. But then I saw that companies were making more wooden needles that were NOT bam...
