It is such a fucking relief to see movement of the people, finally, in response to The Everything™️. Including just an absolute fucking bodying of anti-trans politicians.
I'm gonna go cheers a small drink and sit in relief that there's still momentum to be found for hope of better days to come.

I've been motivated by the cold weather and rain in my corner of the world these last few days to try to pick up the pace on my Sote sweater. 🧶

On a less (more?) Feelings™️ note, I fucked up the pattern motif on my socktober socks but it almost looks intentional because I'm at the point where perfect is my enemy and 'good enough' on a project where I learned four new techniques feels like a victory anyway.

Quietly reflecting today on how grateful and lucky I feel to have met and made all the friends I have, both in the physical realm and the online spaces. Thank you all for the windows into the world you've given me, and all the experiences and care. That's been good light on any dark days.

Someone is much more like himself today but still finds drinking water to be beneath him. So I'm being dastardly and soaking his kibble for meals.

One down. My dog is at the vet for a routine dental procedure and I'm a wreck about it (he's old. I have anxiety.) So we knit instead. 🧶

My first pair of colorwork socks with a little ambition. ZaneteKnit's Rhubarb and Custard for socktober. I'm really enjoying them so far. (Ignore the fact that this set of colors has been waiting to become this pattern for a year now 😅)
Next is...honeycomb brioche???

Cleaned and scrubbed all the bathroom surfaces. Laundered all the blankets around the apartment. Cleaned the kitchen. Meal prepped. Bedding reset.
...and yet I still haven't vacuumed. 😅 Eh. I'll still take a manic productivity day.

Got both me and the pup up to date on our shots today. His was scheduled, mine was spur of the moment.
Grocery store had a vaccine clinic table up, so I said 'Neat' and got myself a flu and covid shot. Time now for rest and fluids!

There's a new guy on my team who crochets vs my knitting and I have to say it's great to have someone to just whine about fiber crafts and talk shop with on the job.

I realize it makes me sound like a yarn snob, but I'm working up a bandana cowl and using an acrylic yarn for the first time in forever and the damn thing is just rolling up like an old pirate map as I go.
I hope blocking makes this yarn cool it's jets and relax! 🫣

Another finished object in the books. I sat there proudly for two beers and a few hours before casting on another new project in a tipsy, victorious haze. Marvel at my restraint!

I have once again suffered under the impression of 'No, Sparrow. Blocking that hat that's already a little big definitely won't make it bigger at all!'
I do not learn (and I do not swatch. Honestly, who swatches a hat?).

Started a hat that someone offered to buy. Immediately fucked up the first row of the pattern. We're off to the races! 🫠
