so i just picked up god knows how many stitches to try and finish my Stephen West MKAL from 2023.

checked the pattern and it's like "M1, pick up 8, 13 times" in one section, do another thing in another section.

it's put me off this project SO FAST.

do i just fudge the numbers?

#GameofWool time.

I don't get their obsession with roving. showing the divers with two of them in giant roving scarves. they're shit. and they'll fall apart in one wear.

after only spinning more rustic yarns for a few years i'm having a go at spinning merino.

not sure if it's the fact it's Malabrigo Nube, how i'm pre-drafting, or that it's just so slippery but i am STRUGGLING

Predator Badlands is cute and really fun.
BUT is that want I (we) want from a Predator movie?

Yes.

I WANT franchise to grow out of their original conceits.
I WANT properties the grow their universes.
and I WANT to have fun while watching movies.

The toddler got hurt and started crying. Then, abruptly, stopped crying and said, "Stop. OK. T. Rex."

And then just started playing with her dinosaurs instead. A lesson in emotional regulation for us all.

"Reader, I married him"
- Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Reading Jane Eyre again reminded me of the day we visited #WycollerHall, said to have inspired #FerndeanManor, the secluded house where Jane and Rochester finally find peace. Standing among the ruins felt truly magical.✨

The AI revolution is incredible because it allows companies to replace three people with a single person! One *incredibly useless* person. The future is bright 😍

Insanely good. 🤩
Knew I was going to draw #Frankenstein fan art the minute I finished it… as with everything @realgdt.bsky.social LOVED the visual aspect of it and especially The Creature’s design - that mix of grotesque and gentle - which inspired this
