I never thought I would enjoy complex FPP, but this has been wonderfully meditative. Using this marbled fabric for texture has perfect.

These simple triangle cowls are my most worn knits. And what better to show off stunning yarn than a simple linen stitch.
Goes with everything I own, all of my favorite colors….

Grace and I got tattoos a year and a half ago… they didn’t match, but they shared meaning. Now I wear my own version of the one she got that day, it sits above my original.
It was already full of meaning and now it has even MORE.

My most complex FFP I’ve done. Already sewn a few pieces backwards or trimmed them incorrectly, but we’re learning quickly.
Using this beautiful marble fabric I have left over, picking different color areas for the two colors.

Oh Harry Dresden… I’ve missed you in my life. This story of grief and rebuilding has come at a perfect time for me. Especially here in January of 2026…
I might re-listen to a lot of Dresden this year.

New PR on a marathon that was so hot and humid they cut it short behind me for safety.
My first 13 miles as a new half PR as well. Walked the last 8-9 miles because of the heat.
I went directly to Raglan Road for a Guinness and Oban.

My Jadzia Dax outfit is done! I go for my second marathon in under two weeks!
Training don’t go as planned because life didn’t go as planned… but I’m quite stubborn and at least I’ll be wearing a lot of glitter…

Engage!!!!
It’s taken me a day to just organize all the pieces. I mean, no way I was going to bag by bag.
Building slowly to savor it.
Not sure how I like the app for instructions. It is nice to be able to rotate it though.

I haven’t knit in ages, but this simple linen stitch cowl has been incredibly soothing this holiday season.
Also, how incredible is this yarn!?

Started New York 2140 a few days ago… about 5 minutes after this cozy moment of reading over lunch… the landscapers started their engines behind me.

Fun fact, I compete in a very niche sport and I seem to have almost no photographic evidence I throw.
This weekend I threw for Grace, who always called me her Shield Maiden.

A few days ago I lost my soul sister, best friend, and co-worker, Grace Gonzalez. It’s shocking and I don’t yet know how to process it.
But I know it will involve smiles and tears and glitter and music.

Just finished Atmosphere. I rarely read romances, but wrap it in a jacket of the early shuttle days of NASA and we can talk.
It’s the first time I saw a character who never expected to have a relationship, and watch them realize they aren’t broken in a way that’s very identifiable to my Aceish 💜

Library additions over the past two weeks.
Yes… more Trek.
But excited for The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet. I’ve heard great things.
I love used books!!

There used to be two adorable icons I used as markers on my long runs, rainbow colored bicyclists in helmets going each way.
Apparently showing kids they should wear helmets when they bike is a threat to their safety.
Fuck off Florida. This is really the hill you want to die on?

Lining is in! All that’s left is the cuffs and hardware!
I’m hand stitching in the lining to the cuffs since those are always tricky to me, plus I modified the pattern pretty heavily there, so need to do some improv work.
Next project is already lined up.
