Individualistic wellness and self help culture teaches us we ought to know our own worth. But affirmations work best for those who already have decent self esteem. Sometimes I worry we are bolstering those who need it least. My idea fixes that.

Understanding that your value is exactly the same as that of the next person (that value being one unit of human) might be the alternative we need. You are just as worthy as the next person, but also, the next person is just as worthy as you. You should not feel inferior, nor should you feel entitled to exploit.

Just yarn thoughts.

POV you are my phone, monitoring my run like a good little surveillance tool. Suddenly your subject is upside down in a windy hilltop playground for reasons of brain quirks. 💀

And yes, this is how I dress for running, all the old tie dye T-shirts my kids grew out of and ancient leggings!

An unapologetic colourway that features colours I love but that aren’t necessarily popular (grey is the fashion just now). I poured and sprayed the dye with joyful abandon instead of conforming it to a pre-existing image. Sometimes not following the trends can be fun and freeing. The yarn is called optics but m3t4 won’t let me tag it.

This is the face of a toad who barely tolerates me. He would just like the bug so he can go back to resting under his leaf, thank you very much.

This right here is why I need dance classes - to save all of our wellbeings from whatever this is!

Vintage Rose. A delicate blend of classic dusky and deep pink with complex natural green speckles.

I’ve lots of new yarn to show you, but I might take a break and just show pictures of other stuff as that’s getting more engagement. Folk have lost interest in daily yarn inspo, just scrolling past without lingering to enjoy (time spent looking at a post is an important metric now). Frogs still aren’t popular, but me on a pole seems to cause folk to stop and inspect the image (97% existing followers and 98% women from a group whose only shared interest, I imagined, would be appreciation of pretty yarn!). SM is doing weird things to our minds, but if that’s what you are all choosing to spend more time on then I will have to adapt…

Now that I am at one with my inner elegant tree frog I can sleep very politely like this.

Rebellious Red Rose yarn. An unapologetic colourway that features colours I don’t usually dye and is all the more fun for it. Usually, the only reds I do are those deep rich solid colours, but sometimes the uncommon is particularly lovely.
