I really can’t do NaNoWriMo and a giant November crochet along project at the same time, it is both too much pressure and not working out.
I mean, I’m not quitting either, but this was a bad idea and I’m hella stressed over it 😅

Week 4 of the Sirdar Christmas crochet along complete! The actual work was really fun, but sewing all the edges of the toys was a slog while my kids crawled all over me and bickered over everything. At least they paused long enough to excitedly name everything I put on the train!

I really want to get my daughter kpop demon hunter dolls for the holidays, but they kind of don’t exist, which prompts the question… do I think I could crochet these in time?

Teddy bear tangle. So many edges to sew in! Hoping I can get through all of week 4 in my crochet along, hoping this is the worst of the toy designs so the rest goes smooth.

My daughter asked me how many species of spiders there are in the world.

I want to do fun stuff but I need to weave in dozens of edges first and that’s fine. FINE.

I really like this pattern that the crochet along is having me use on the edges, I want to do an ugly Xmas sweater for me with the zig zag pattern up the entire arms

Robyn loves his cat Costco membership. I was googling these yesterday, and apparently Walmart sells them for like $40, which is way too much, but Costco has it for less than $20, which is definitely the right amount for a little silly fun.

Another long work day but don’t worry I just have two months of long work days left and then the long enthusiastic work days at the start of the year when I get to tackle fresh ideas

It’s the one year anniversary of welcoming home our new cats, so we got them a cat Costco. It is so silly I love it.

My favorite thing about bluesky is none of my local politics shows up in my feed. I stopped following my local paper because they mostly skeeted nonsense problematic national click bait so now I really get nothing

Distracting myself from At least another hour waiting for election results by working on my spiked double/treble (us/uk) boarder. I wonder if this is part of how they do that cute cat pattern? I should look into the cute cat pattern…

My 3 yo points at the light fixture on the ceiling.
Me, trying to be cute: “what’s that? Is that the sun?”
3 yo, having none of my nonsense: “no. It’s a koala.”

Learning how to do a “spiked treble crochet” (uk term), which I think looks really cool and I will definitely do again next time I make a random baby blanket

Week 3 of Sirdar Christmas crochet along done! Excited for all the bobs and bits about to be added to it to distract from how bad my crochet hand writing is 😅

Okay! Got the base of this part of the blanket done. Once again not sure how to keep tension consistent throughout a project, but I’ll take it 😅🚂🎁
