We're under a small craft advisory, and gale and flood watches for pretty much the whole week. An atmospheric river is moving in and it's dark and blustery and wet. A good day to be a knitter. 🧶

Working on some mitts for my mom for Christmas. I gave her a pair like these years ago and she wore them all the time until she lost one last spring. This is one of my favorite mitt patterns. Knits up quick and looks great for the effort. Pattern: My Cup Of Tea Mitts by Fluffy Fibers. 🧶

Been listening to David Byrne's new album and it's great and so autistic in the best ways. I mean, his music has always been autistic-coded, but it's more text than sub this time. She Explains Things To Me could be our anthem.

Finished my mitts. Many stranded colorwork patterns only have one size, so I added border stripes on either side so they'd fit me. I do love a cephalopod. 🐙
Now I need to make myself a heavier pair of some sort for the really cold days coming.
The pattern is The Pact by Jac of Lattes and Llamas. 🧶

Blocking this hood I made for one of my bus driver pals. I made one of these for a different driver last year and she said it was the best thing I'd ever made for her. She wore it every day in the winter. I hope this one is as useful. The pattern is Hoodola by Laura Nelkin 🧶

This game has actual petri dishes in it. If you work on diatoms, a petri dish is your go-to visual reference for explaining what a diatom is. Which you have to do a lot. 🥲

Going to play Diatoms with my kids for the first time. I worked on diatoms for my MSc. (described a species even) so I'm going to try *really hard* to not be pedantic about it.

It's early. I don't have time to sip. No cup holders on the school bus. Second shot of a medium roast Papua New Guinea from a local roaster while I get it together for my morning route. Smoooooth.

Worth it to have every kid holler "AXOLOTL" as they got on the bus.
There was even another axolotl on the bus today! One of my 4th graders repped in purple.

I left little packets with mitts for my 3 bus pals on their buses yesterday so they'll be there when they get in this morning. 🤭 Giving people stuff I made for them makes me a bit giddy. (I forget to take a pic of the last pair :(

I'm once again at a high school marching band competition. It's pouring rain and the bands are killing it! This is my youngest's last marching band performance probably ever 🥲
