Timeline cleanse: Aquinnah scarf, week 4. About three feet long now, a little more than halfway done.

Late WIP Wednesday update: the Aquinnah scarf, which is growing longer and longer. Need to pace myself because there's tons of cables, ofc.

Scarf progress: amazing how far 1-2 repeats a day will get you. Yarn was dyed by Wildewood Fibers, who is sadly retired. The colorway is called Dragon's Blood.

WIP Wednesday since it's still Wednesday in some parts of my country: the beginning of a scarf. Pattern is Aquinnah, designed by Kerry Robb.

One repeat down, 50 more to go. Yarn is Wildewood Fibers worsted in Dragon's Blood.

New finished object: An Arrow to the Moon Socks, designed by Aimee Sher for @exrpan.bsky.social's AN ARROW TO THE MOON, aka the best retelling of Hou Yi/Chang'E that I've ever read.

Knitted in SweetGeorgia's Mermaid and Snowfall.

Woke up this morning to find outside like a shaken snowglobe, and I had to drive in it, even if only for five minutes. Took out some beef from the freezer and made Japanese curry rice, since the snow's not over yet.

With a deliciously gothic atmosphere, queer characters from across the world, and high intrigue as the various Houses strive for control of the shattered city, the DOMINION OF THE FALLEN trilogy asks: 'what is the price of power and what is the price of peace?'

A little extra from the PNW adventures last week: SIL was kind enough to snap some photos of me wearing the Lorelei pullover. Natural cloudy light = the best for showing off the color. (Also, if it looks good on me, it'll probably look good on you too.)

Last of the PNW adventures: hiking in Fort Clatsop, and taking in the local flora (do fungi count as flora? oh well):
