To clarify, it was someone giving public comment against updating our zoning map. Saying well, "so much" housing was built since the last decade and it didn't bring prices down. It was befuddling that they don't see the ginormous hole in that argument.

This drives me nuts! The other bit to add is that they'll bring up stats from a restricted time period as if the housing shortage just showed up and wasn't an accumulative effect. (Saw this at City Hall recently talking about housing + jobs of the last decade as if the shortage started 10 years ago)

Those socks look fun!
And I've also thought of doing a T-shirt or a tank top on top of the "sweater".

Finished blocking! It's now lying to dry. - Observations: holy hell, this yarn can hold so much water. And the grey yarn shed so bad 😬. I hope it doesn't weaken the fabric. And the towel burrito makes the fabric feel dry already!

I'll bind off the armpit stitches and block. Wear it out and see how I feel about it. - I'm a very lazy knitter. I just wet/wash and lay flat. I never use pins.

Thank you. I'm actually a little surprised it does. I went to a slightly larger size than I go for. It might be my new normal. (Went a couple of inches up)

Also #2, the colors look a lot like Crayola crayons or paint. It looks like grass, water and sunflowers. - I picked the colors because it reminded me of spring like the designer and I thought of children's depictions of spring.
