oh hi 👋

here's what you can essentially expect from my feed:

“This suggests that knitting is governed by fundamental mathematical principles—ones that could be harnessed to design materials with precise, tunable behaviors.” 

(We’ve been knitting for so long — centuries — it’s just that no one bothered to figure out the math behind it all until now. It’s always been intuition)

If you or someone you know is anti-GMO - what's the main reason for it?

Let's be honest...

All the handmades for me are really for my dogs 

Which is good because it's next to impossible to keep dog hair off of anything I'm making

I'm 85％ melancholic

This last week I chatted with a handful of scientists who either lost federal jobs or federal funding.

My heart breaks. 

For all the talk of revolutionizing and modernizing government agencies, these are the scientists who can actually change the world. They just have to find new paths to do so.

Ok so I mentioned this earlier but if you crochet DEFINITELY...  get an ergonomic hook or hook grip

It will change your life

(not me using a bobby pin as a stitch marker 👀)

Gm handmade fam- 

baby blanket in progress

nothing quite like a community of makers!

excited to share and learn more about the things people make

I knit, crochet, spin yarn, and dye yarn! 

So here's a proper handmade gm from my sleepy puppy in a crochet hoodie

don't get me wrong... I love making baby blankets 

but you know what I love even more? 

making fur-baby blankets

My beige flag: 
getting unnecessarily defensive when someone calls microbes "bugs"

Another attempt at mixed media.

Crochet + microbial art

Hope your valentine's day is going better than my friend's:

Shoots shot
Slides into dms
She says yes
Account hacked
Locked out
Numbers never exchanged

Did you know you and your partner will have a more similar microbiome over time. This increases if you also have a dog.

Happy Valentine's Day

Warpcast

When I get a notification to check the /warpcast leaderboard

I asked chatGPT to make me crochet patterns for two animals. Any guesses on what they're supposed to be.

Ready for the grand reveal??

The left was supposed to be a kangaroo and the right was supposed to be a giraffe 🤣

DeSci

I'm new here so crocheting is still the only thing I've ever worked "on chain".

Hoping to change that with some /desci or a project related to scicomm though! Any tips for beginners?

People are always talking about finding life on other planets. 

But did you know scientists spend A LOT of time making sure we don't accidentally take life to other planets.
