She is home and bathed and eager for snacks!
While the cause is still a mystery, her symptoms were basically anaphylaxis and she improved when they got her on the right treatment plan for that. It’s honestly an astounding recovery given how sick she was.
Thank you all for the well wishes!

We still don’t have firm answers (they’re suspecting toxic mushroom ingestion), but she’s perked up a lot after a night of supportive care. The vet should be updating me about her most recent test results soon. Please keep sending those positive wishes ❤️

I promised myself I wouldn’t start another project until I finished my Melides Dress, but then the incomparable @deunynknits.bsky.social opened up a test knit for this breathtaking brioche shawl that I’ve been mooning over for a literal year, so I didn’t have a choice.

The response I received from Sen. Tina Smith @smith.senate.gov after I emailed her about continuing to protect trans rights. She's such a real one.

He was the canine equivalent of the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Completely convinced of his own superiority despite all evidence to the contrary. I’m still recovering from the vet bills.
But look. Of course I was helpless.

#showmeyourknits autumn-themed knits! 🧶
For me, that’s all of them lol. I love a cozy autumn color palette.

Fun fact, all the sweaters use Purl Soho Wigeon yarn, possibly my all time favorite sweater yarn.

I feel this so much! I’m working on a project right now where the stitches are simple, but the planning and shaping are incredibly complex. It’s a fascinating learning experience.

This week’s #showmeyourknits is WIPs and I finally have an update on this one! Behold, a bodice emerges 🧶
Even though the stitch pattern is simple stockinette, there is so. much. math. involved in this pattern. That’s the price for a garment perfectly tailored to your body measurements, I guess.

A late entry to #showmeyourknits sweater week: my MN State Fair blue ribbon winner! 🧶🥇
I am really proud of how this turned out. The neckline is so elegant that I feel polished even when I wear it with jeans.
