The horrors persist, but so do I
Cats, dogs, Arsenal, music, yarn, books, chocolate digestives. Not necessarily in that order.

Making progress- slowly
Side note: given a new stitch holder by my friend. I usually use waste yarn. This is a game changer! No needle threading required, hollow, so slips on the end of a dpn, then thread stitches onto/off it. Easy. Love it.

My phone is always on if you need a shoulder
Stay safe, everyone

1st one nearly done now, hopefully finish it today.
Lovely little pattern by Tin Can Knits, fairly easy instructions, and if you get the app, it calculates the stitch count and measurements for you

Arsenal - did you watch the same game as me?? Cos that very much looked like Olivia Smith who scored, not Vic Pelova...🤔

Xmas gift for Himself

Really unhappy with my tension. Only about 35 rows in. Question: to restart or carry on and hope it blocks out 🤔

Knitted slippers. Good way to use up scraps of aran. Used just under 200g in total.

Grey!
I want cherry, but til i find some in a sale, which they never seem to be!, i wont get 🤣
Had a patterned pr last time, not as durable, so as much as I loved them i wouldn't get patterned again
Had black many, many yrs ago. I have no idea where they went!

My Xmas present from Himself arrived yesterday. He's crap at keeping secrets but i'm glad
2yr ago my last pr of Docs bit the dust, I've had 3 pr of 'other' boots sonce & never found anything remotely near comparable
Keep your jewellery and perfume, this Gen X woman is very happy with new Docs 😊

The Biggest had her first gig last night, played 2 songs at the annual showcase at the Labour Club, with a few other young bands
Big shout out to Tameside Music Service who provide a space, opportunity and encouragement, to young musicians

Mittens progress. Coming up a bit small i think. Will get Biggest to try on before I make the other... supposed to be adult medium but I dont think do!

Today's messing about produced a fidgetty thing. The beads slide up and down.
Was fun to make.

Also, thanks Amazon, for putting all my most played songs in 1 place..and looking down the list its all the songs I play when my brain is fizzy...so we all know how the last 12mths have been 🤣
December 5, 2025 at 12:25 PM
Continuing the Amazon highlights (how does it know my 2925 stats when its only the 1st wk in Dec??)
To absolutely nobody's amazement I listened to Life on Mars the most, surprised that del Amitri was my most played artist (prob because I discovered they did a Live album, and i LOVE a live album)
December 5, 2025 at 12:21 PM
Thank you Amazon for telling me what I already knew 🤣
I dont suppose I need to tell anyone to listen to @arseblog.com arsecast...
(No 3 was @northbankpod.bsky.social )
(No 2 was Redhanded - excellent true crime pod for all you gen x/millennial women out there 🤣)

Ear warmer for the Ma
Very simple pattern, in acrylic chunky. Have made a matching scarf, hat and wrist warmers too...(put away safely for Xmas....) 🧶

Popped up in my memories
Miss his face 😢

Little quick knit 🧶
The Boy wanted a red and white striped hat. He got one.
In hindsight the stripes *should* have been thinner, but he wanted wide stripes.
He doesnt kniw it yet, but he's got a red and white scarf for his Xmas stocking too.

We have a slipper
Apparently a 'weekend project'
It would be i guess if I didnt have to sneakily knit when Himself is not around! (Its for his Xmas stocking, before you worry im in a toxic relationship where im not allowed to knit!)
Stash Buster Slippers by MyJamma knits
Need to do the other now! 🧶

30 Day Film Challenge*

Day 2 A film watched over and over as a child
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Dunno if I actually watched it more than any other film, but it felt like it. Remains one of my favourite ever films. I can probably recite it word for word.

*yea, its not gonna be consecutive days...
