I finished my Noro granny hex blanket! I wish I could've made a queen sized one but it was already getting a bit $$. I loooove how it came out.

Mavis gives her approval to send another wacky afghan #crochet creation out into the world ...

You can't build up this factory infrastructure overnight. For the art supplies. For computer chips and other parts. For wool yarn (and other fibers). It could take years or even decades.
Where do you get the parts to make the machines for these factories? Where do you get the supplies to build these factories?
These tariffs are not the way to build manufacturing in the US.
In the meantime, people but small businesses especially suffer. Ugh.

I think the reason the US doesnt use wool and other natural fibers as much as the rest of the world is because synthetic fibers like nylon were invented here and championed as superior to natural fibers.
So, we don't have the infrastructure for processing and spinning wool, let alone into knitting yarn. Knitting isn't taught in schools. It is a forgotten part of culture.
The US has sheep herds. They're mainly used for meat, their wool tossed.

And if you're thinking "Well, all the more reason to buy from indie dyers and indie yarn brands!"
...
Where do you think they get their yarn bases from? A LOT of Merino comes from Australia and New Zealand. A lot of silk comes East Asia.
Cashmere comes from East Asia.
There are small yarn mills dotted around the US. They tend to make small specialty yarns. Some have closed due to economic reasons. Where do they get their spinning machine parts from?

When you consider tariffs for fiber arts... good luck if you want fleece or fiber prominent from a certain country.
The US... for complex reasons we aren't a wool using country. A LOT of the yarns in LYS and big box stores are made in another country. Turkey, UK, France, Italy, some in China, a LOT from India...
Panic buying yarn isn't the solution. Folks did that during the pandemic and still don't know what to do with the yarn.

My crochet journey today.
Hey, you found where the stitch goes 
Too bad you let the yarn over slip off 
Oh, good work on the yarn over, and you made sure the stitch on the hook didn't go all slack, right? Right? 
Ok, about that yarn over again.
Looks great! But that place where the stitch goes has closed up and disappeared, try again? 
It's so relaxing lol
Something I’ve struggled with for a stupidly long time is #crocheting Caucasian characters. The #yarn I had was either too gray, too yellow, or too pink 
. One of the #caron one pound beige yarns was finally the right color and I was able to move forward with the #commission! But it wasn’t as simple as finding the one apricot crayon . #fediart #fiberart #handmade #amigurumi #crochet

Good morning.
Regular listeners will remember that there’s someone who decorates the postboxes in our village regularly with seasonal #knitting and #crochet #art.
Well today I found out that it’s a woman!
I can’t pretend not to be slightly disappointed that it isn’t a man 
Maybe I should start making rival toppers and start a turf war?
This is a very special piece. In one of my yarn surprise boxes, there was this crazy luxurious yarn:
40% Wool - Merino
25% Camelid - Llama
20% Silk
15% Cellulose - Linen / Flax
I was almost scared to use it and searched the longest time for a fitting project. I eventually decided on the Shawl of the Moirae and I think it's such a special piece.

Et voilà ! Ce Paddington au crochet est enfin terminé après 9h30 de travail^^ Plus qu'à le mettre de côté le temps que je puisse l'offrir, vu que je l'ai fait trèèèèèès longtemps en avance
This crochet Paddington is finally finished after 9h30 of work^^ All I have to do is put it aside while I can give it away, since I made it so long in advance.

Muß mal wieder was herzeigen, was ich fabriziert habe.
Eine gehäkelte Katzendecke. Leider ist das Bild nicht so gut geworden, ich kann einfach nicht fotografieren 
, aber nun ist es zu spät, die Decke geht nun in einem Paket nach Berlin zu meiner Schwester.
O-Ton mein Bruder: Die Decke ist viel zu schön für sie. 
(Das soll vermutlich bedeuten, daß er auch eine will, gnarf)
Any one coming to Woolly Good Gathering in Edinburgh this coming weekend?
Not April Fools' but a slight ray of hope in a brutal world: the Loose Ends Project. It's a nonprofit that connects volunteers with fiber arts projects that the owner cannot complete due to illness, severe disability, or death. And with JoAnn's closing, Loose Ends has lost 80% of their yearly budget (JoAnns was a corporate sponsor). #crochet #knitting

This Mandala hangs behind me on the wall. Whenever I'm in a Teams Call with a background activated, the Mandala peeks through and gives me a Halo. :D
