Yarn, cats, and vegetarian cooking, from my San Francisco home.
Trying to recover from losing a sweater WIP (in event exclusive yarn!) so I’m casting on a bunch. Cue Hall & Oats:”…pretty bodies held dissolve the memories, they can never be what she was to me…”

Restarting my mood blanket, with more range and nuance. This is a swatch to test out a few ideas. I like where this is going, over my previous concept. Now to re-crochet the past 20 days. NBD! That’s the joy of crochet! It’s quick. 🧶

Chatting with a friend about how to recreate the communities we lost. I keep coming back to the fact that community organizing predates socials or computers. We don’t need the next platform. We need to relearn how movements organized in the analog age.

Daily Crochet Journaling is going well, tho not without challenges. Yes, I’m having a hard time boiling each day down to one emotion. Also, since I often journal at night, the most urgent, recurring feeling is, “EXHAUSTED.” Not an emotion, but that’s how I feel.

My interpretation of Tony Lipsy’s 2025 mood wrap, nee blanket. Each night at 8:pm, an alarm goes off on my phone, and I sit down to journal and crochet about my day.

Not much of a picture, but this was the very best lentil soup ever, thanks to @ranchogordo.bsky.social and having mirepoix prepped in the freezer. Sadly, all gone now.
