I’m a crafty little stitch that’s grounded in nature and drained by the city life. Spiritual at heart but lack a specific faith. I have a passion for divination and a drive for intuitive interpretation. Seeking a stable tribe amidst my constant movement.
The unit is trashed from the ceiling/wall damage and all of our movement of furniture, but here’s an exterior shot to give you an idea of the extent of the flooding that occurred. Our evicted neighbors snapped the water line to their washing machine in half and told no one the unit was flooding.

We’re supposed to be at the jockstrap party at the Eagle right now, but instead we are drying out our apartment from the unit that flooded upstairs. At least the bedroom is dry. 😭

And Cashew’s puppy shawl is done!! I made sure to block this one RS up this time 🙄. I hope he loves it! 2 shawls down, one to go! I just love this yarn so much! Gonna miss working with it.

Had originally planed on making another jockstrap with these, but I’m thinking a kinky cap might be needed instead. Only after I finish binding off Cashew’s puppy shawl, of course.

The men in my life come first. Words to live by.

I heard a painful sounding yelp this morning while Cashew was eating his morning breath mint. When I got to him, he spit a tooth out 😢. Poor baby. Guess we’ll be putting this under his doggy bed for the chihuahua tooth fairy to bring him some goodies. 🐶 🦷 🧚

He seems fine now.

Something very nerdy happened tonight. And we regret nothing. Well, I guess I regret losing 2 out of 3, but the rest of the ordeal was quite fun. Floods are the worst. Woulda had him on that third game otherwise.

Definitely not my finest work, but it works, so I’ll work it. Machine sewing is a whole new beast, but I love how quickly you can work a project. I present a round bottom draw string bag to hold my working yarn. Maybe this will keep the Cashew hair out of my knits.

Well here goes a toe dip into new territory.

Had a blast at The Eagle last night! What a great start to the year. Why is it the longer I linger at this bar the more the clothes come off?

And the Business Travel Jock by @papabearknit.bsky.social is done! Well, off the needles at least. This was such a fun project, not sure why I let myself stay so weary of cable knitting for so long. Now I want more cables! …and jocks.

Happy New Year everyone! Hope you all had a safe and fun celebration last night and wishing Y26 is good to you!

Okay, I think I’ve narrowed down my NYE outfit options down to three and it took a long time to bring it to these. …but now I can’t decide which route to go. Any votes yall wanna throw my way would help. The pant is a 501 style. They’re the only leather pant that fits anymore. The rest are too big.

Loving this pattern! Things got a little hairy, and not in a good way, some rows back, but I think I recovered it nicely. Either way, I’m happy with it. 😀
December 30, 2025 at 5:57 PM
Woohoo!!! The short rows are shaping and the cables are looking nice!

What a day that lies ahead. Petty little things need not be a worry. I need only to stay connected to my higher self which appears to be most resolute and present today. My strength lies in my grounded nature met with my goal oriented leadership.

Step back bitches, Daddy energy in full swing today!
December 28, 2025 at 6:06 PM
I barely got to work on this today, but I finished the first section. German short rows and some crazy cables are next!!
December 28, 2025 at 4:26 AM
It’s finally happened! No more needle and thread. Well, at least no more manual needle and thread. Mama’s got a motor!!!

Even fixed my favorite jockstrap for her maiden voyage!

Cahew’s other Christmas gift. He likes a car ride buddy, so now he has a stuffed capybara to squish on his trips around town. The last one got lost at pride last year and he is so happy to have a new one.

Shout out to the Walmart employee that placed the kid letter mats on sale on a door buster cap outside of the yarn aisle. You knew what you were doing, and it is appreciated.

The cables are cabling! As a tight knitter (I’m learning to loosen up a bit…in life too) I think the Norwegian purl is the secret sauce driving my success this time. It forces you to loosen the tension between your knit and purl stitches.

Now, just what the fuck is going on here? The grocery store is no longer safe for Cashew.
December 24, 2025 at 7:06 PM
One of Cashew’s Christmas gifts this year. Fresh baked treats from his favorite local bakery!freshly baked for the spoiled pup. 🐶

Shawl is officially too large to display in my lap! The dye hides it, but there’s a 12 row repeat. 12 of 16 done before the finishing and BO, but I may cut it short to get it done in time. 😬

New pattern, new yarn, and new needles!! Found a new yarn store too! If you’re in the ATL area, I highly suggest Unwind. Friendly staff and great stuff in there! I will be back.

Thankfully the employee didn’t ask the typical, “so what are we making,” question. First impressions and all.
