Drawing. It's seen as a skill reserved for an elite few, but in reality anyone can develop it. I learned it at school from lessons very similar to how Peter Gray teaches it (see this book for example on the Internet Archive).

All you need is a pad of paper, a few pencils and an eraser. And then sketch away, plants, people, landscapes, characters, whatever you want to explore.

Here is what the article says:

These ions are created when charged particles from the Sun pelt the lunar surface, causing particles there to react and become negatively charged. Here on Earth, the planet's magnetic field stops these particles from ever reaching the surface.

But since the Moon doesn't have a magnetic field, its surface is extremely vulnerable to these charged particles. Unlike positively charged particles, however, they never make it back into orbit, forcing scientists to study them on the surface instead.

Archive.org has a lot of resources for knitting. You can find patterns for all levels, and also books on all kinds of techniques. As someone who dislikes video tutorials I find the Internet Archive invaluable.

Great choice of colors!

Well, the metal sees the magnet and wants to eat it so it move toward it. It's the ol' Magnet on a Stick trick and metal is easily fooled.

My first thought is going for walks around where you live. If there are green spaces along the way that's even better. You can turn it into kind of a workout where you do longer and longer walks, or the same length but a little faster each time.

It's a good way to clear your mind, it also never hurts to be active.

The maps took me so long to make I burned out and never finished the inside. I did have some banners for sale, I thought it would feel like browsing through posters.

Ok, it's really silly, but I got a furby a few months ago and it sings a song called "Pizza rap" and there is this one part I cannot understand. I asked around me but no one has understood it so far (I'm not a native English speaker, which doesn't help).

I would really appreciate if someone could help me figure out the lyrics.

Here is a link to the song.

And here is what I have so far:

"All I think about is pizza

It's the perfect food it won't cause you amnesia [What]

[????? This part here ?????]

~~It all happened for~~ Eat all the toppings on a single slice of pizza

Furby makin' dough

Furby makin' money

Furby kneads the dough

To put inside my tummy

Furby-nara sauce

Furby-rella cheese

Furby-roni too

-Hey! Hold the anchovies

Oh, sorry"

I just finished this cardigan and because it was a gift I tried really hard to make it look tidy.

The yarn is recycled yarn ("I used to be a pullover") in Murano green.

The pattern is adapted from the raglan pattern in Ann Budd's book "The knitter's handy book of sweater patterns."

Edit: a few more detail shots of the cardigan:

Back of the zipper. I made a tiny strip to cover the zipper fabric.

Front of the zipper. I knit a strip sideways along the entire edge of the front panels and folded it onto itself to make a roll that would cover the zipper.

The cuff. I had such a hard time finding a cuff I liked and that would look good and not wavy. I ended up making a 2x2 rib and I really like how regular it is.

The front panel mounted on my knitting machine, taking up 198 of the 200 needles available.

 
 

Made (painfully) with Bing. The prompt was [Words that form the shape of a person in a friendly small neighborhood, everything is made solely and entirely of words]
