When may we be done with this annual insanity of pretending we’re in different time zones for a portion of the year? If I sign up for jet lag, it should at least come with the fun of travel. 😵💫

Skylight, Bluesky's promising version of TikTok, is available to beta test. Remember to download TestFlight from the App Store first. Looks pretty good so far.

Right now seems like an excellent time to be reading a book. 📖 On a ban list or a good fantasy, both are great options.

I’ve had so much fun the last few weeks using up yarn scraps from one of my favorite projects to embroider yarn balls. Needs less that 10 yards of light fingering to DK weight!

This 15 in hand embroidery piece took over a year to complete. Mostly satin stitch and just over 160 individual colors. She’s my pride and joy 🪩

Also, I find it hilarious that if I’m around my partner refuses to speak to Siri. If he thinks I’m out of earshot, he’ll chat Siri up! 😂

I didn’t get very far knitting on my Clapotis today, just one more drop row completed.
Got too excited about a tweak on the new embroidery disks and spent the afternoon in Adobe making edits to several.

Happy Caterday! What are you doing to refresh yourself?
I’m working on my first Clapotis, I remember when it was originally released and never made one then. I love that @knitty.com re-released it for the 20th anniversary. 🧶
I may work more on the embroidery stitch disk patterns later. 🪡🧵

Spent all day (that I wasn’t feeding the laid up boy food or meds) working up the new cut files for embroidery kits. 🔵 Also ordered supplies for cutting later this week… I’m excited about it!
