Meet Jade, my first try at making a Dragon Amigurumi. 🐉
I wanted to get a feel for the pattern and construction and used fingering scraps. Looking back, probably not my best choice, but it sure gave me a steep learning curve!
Pattern: Dragon by Megan Lapp (Crafty Intentions) from the book "Crochet Creatures of Myth and Legend"

Hand holding a crocheted dragon made entirely from various shades of green yarn. The dragon features detailed wings, a curled tail, and prominent eyes. The craftsmanship showcases intricate shaping and attention to detail, creating a whimsical, handmade interpretation of a mythical creature.
Crocheted dragon figurine posed on a wooden shelf, made with light and dark green yarn. The dragon features large, structured wings with a dark green ridge, a textured body, and expressive black eyes. Its face is detailed with protruding ears and a frilled neck, evoking a fantasy creature. Behind it, a decorative panel with a tree design adds a mystical backdrop, enhancing the handcrafted, whimsical atmosphere.

Hey fiberfolk, I'm looking to rehome (in the US) this mini-skein of sock yarn. I believe it to be 75% merino, 25% nylon, 88yds, but the artist didn't include a label for it. (But that's what the other yarn I received was.)
It's a hand-dyed bit in dark gold and browns with a touch of white. Will mail out... eventually, so not a rush job.
ETA: It's taken!

Starlink tries to block Virginia’s plan to bring fiber Internet to residents
Starlink operator SpaceX is fighting Virginia's plan to deploy fiber Internet service to residents, claiming that federal grant money should be given to Starlink instead. SpaceX is already in line to win over $3 million in grant money in the state but is seeking $60 million.

Checking in with a WIP. 😄 This is my Relax Project to give my fingers a rest from all the Amigurumis.
Pattern is Wildberry Shawl by SisHomemade
Yarn is Hobbii Twister in color Fairytale and it will actually go into dark teal for the edge.

@pluralistic Long thread with a lot of attn to #fiber
The "Eurostack" is a (long overdue) project to publicly fund a European "stack" of technology that is independent from American Big Tech (as well as other powers' technology that has less hold in Europe, such as Chinese and Russian tech):
