Kitten coexisting with knitting is going well!

Stitch is now ambushing Purl from under the rug

I'm trying to carve a pumpkin here

Stitch is contemplating bad life choices. (Don't worry, the stove is cold.)

Although my supervisor is sleeping on the job

I'm on my fourth attempt at what should be a fairly simple cast on. Stitch has decided to help

And ending with apple crisp and vanilla ice cream

I declare this successful pastry!
October 12, 2025 at 9:11 PM
It survived!

There are definitely some pastry structural integrity issues on the left side, so we’ll see what happens

Filling for my pastry

Butternut squash for roasting

(The squash is from a local organic farm!)
October 12, 2025 at 6:54 PM
Baked and brushed with melted butter
October 12, 2025 at 6:24 PM
Second rise done, time to bake!
October 12, 2025 at 6:06 PM
And back to the rolls. The first rise might have been a bit too long, because I was busy peeling apples when the timer went off.

Time for the second rise
October 12, 2025 at 5:10 PM
Apple crisp! Which I realized partway through making is much more apple crisp than I expected.

Which is not a terrible problem to have.

It’s in the fridge now to bake later
October 12, 2025 at 5:07 PM
Pastry!
October 12, 2025 at 3:06 PM
First up is dinner rolls! The recipe really wasn’t kidding that the dough would be soft and sticky

Stitch the ferocious hunter
October 3, 2025 at 10:07 PM
Purl is like, I'm trying to give you a bath here
