currently knitting a weird thing until the next like a dragon game comes out. I don’t know how to describe it but it will be my ugly scarf. 🧶

Well. I fell in love with the thing I was knitting so my lacey scarf that makes me laugh is done many weeks ahead of schedule. Just need to bind off, clean up, and block it. 🧶

I made my own reversible hat (mine is all gradient yarn) with my replacement needles. Material really changes the speed of things. 🧶

Finished last night. I kept dropping stitches. The hat was knit twice because I didn't measure the gauge the first time. In the process of making this hat I broke a needle cable & learned I lost my magic loop needles in the move somehow. They've been replaced but arrived late. A mess but it's done 🧶

In other news, I am through with my forbidden shawl yarn project. I wish it hadn't made me hate the yarn. I am halfway through a reversable hat I started this weekend with yarn I love. Looking forward to zoom meetings today. 🧶

Mistakes were made and what's his butt does not like it at all but I used up one of my noro yarns on an oversized noro sweater. It was a summer pattern but I used a winter wool blend. Hoping oversized short sleeves mean I won't overheat if I wear it. 🧶

Noro yarns always make me happy... even if the pattern I am sort of trying to follow (it is not written well) is all purl. 🧶

my dog, the gross, kept pulling out dirty teenage boy underwear and rolling around in them, and now she is trying to get me to pet her. She keeps looking back at me like this. Not happening.
