This is it. There are only a few days left in 2022. Before the fresh start of a new year, grab one of those unfinished projects that you've shoved into a drawer—and the deepest, darkest cavern of your brain—and take it down to Monster in Ballard for the shop's Monthly Craft Social. You will be among friends as you sew, embroider, or glue together that half-hearted attempt to feel like a capable human being for once in your godforsaken life. Don't have a craft project? Monster has all kinds of kits for sale, so you can busy your hands, relax your mind, and feel a sense of accomplishment while putting together the world's cutest otter. (Or narwhal, anatomic heart, or placard that reminds you to calm the fuck down.) The year is almost over, but there's still time to get something done. You don't want to carry that unfinished latch hook project you got as a gift last Christmas into 2023, do you? Finish your shit. by Megan Seling
