Spoiler alert: my boobs hurt. We’re also almost five months into cooking this baby. Crazy!

I’ve been picking up a lot of abandoned crafts, like a stitch-a-long from last year and a kit of mini diamond paintings. We also had some friends over last weekend and they talked about Woobles kits. I have a few, but the magic circle start to a crochet project always threw me. Her suggestion was just to get some cheapo yarn and practice practice practice.

In true Aries fashion, I prefer to run before I can walk. (i.e. Amigurumi is what interests me about crochet, but I’ve had friends tell me that I should probably just start with granny squares. I refuse.)

I can’t remember how I stumbled across this organization, but it’s called Loose Ends. If a crafting project is left undone due to death, illness, or disability, you can find a volunteer to finish it.

Sarah was back on the Fixing Famous People podcast to talk about Akon. It’s available wherever you listen to podcasts.

The ever smart, ever topical Kayleigh Donaldson is over at Pajiba, talking about the ragebait economy,. Thanks, I hate it! (Not the article; I mean ragebait.)

Lara: I really enjoy the TikToks that Mickie (@vainausten) makes. She’s a punk and obsessed with Austen and makes these really enthusiastic videos. They’re great.

Don’t forget to share what cool or interesting things you’ve seen, read, or listened to this week! And if you have anything you think we’d like to post on a future Wednesday Links, send it my way!
