Shoutout to TASCHEN for gifting me this booklet which showcases all the books they sell. I love buying #books from them and enjoy collecting coffee table books they published. Gonna have a look to see it there are any new and interesting ones to add to my collection.

On Fridays, my bf makes steak frites for dinner and tomorrow I am particularly excited for this meal because today I made some chimichurri. It’s gonna sit in my fridge for 24 hours and then tomorrow I can enjoy it. 🎉

I’m a sucker for cable knit sweaters. I hope I could knit one this winter.

I used to buy Monocle every month but lately I’m more into their sister publication, Konfekt. They write such interesting articles and the photography is fabulous. I hope print publications don’t go bust. I’ll keep buying your stuff just please don’t stop printing the good stuff. 😭

A few years ago I shrunk my wool sheep sweater from Rowing Blazers. I never got around to figuring out whether I felted it or not. Now that I own a blocking mat, I tried to re-block it. Hope I can stretch it back to its original size. If it doesn’t work, looks like I’m getting a new one. 😭

Whenever I see AI-generated content on social media, especially when the algorithm recommends it to me, I always report it and say that I am not interested in this author. 🤣 I don’t want AI slop on my feed. Kthxbye.

Today’s spoils from the #HandwerkbeursGroningen fiber festival. M bought scarf and sweater quantities of yarn. I found some wool wash for less than what they’re selling for online and some little beads?? I can attach to the garments I made to personalize them. #knitting

This weekend my boyfriend and I are going to a fiber festival in Groningen and I am so excited because this is our first. I’m on the lookout for buttons for my cardigan and wool for my bf’s sweater. He wants to make one for himself. I’m super excited. 😍

I decided to use a different color on the edge of the hem of my Holly sweater and boy do I regret it. Not that I don’t like the color of the edge but I can’t see shit. I can’t do the Italian bind off without straining my eyes. Gonna pause for now & I’ll attempt to do this in broad daylight instead.

I survived the yarn hydra! I finished #knitting the motif and boy it was not fun to juggle six, yes six balls of yarn to knit my holly motif. But yay I survived. Now I can continue with the boring bits of the pattern.

I’m watching this Puma-Adidas documentary on Disney+ and there’s this clearly North American girl who was asked to describe Puma’s logo and she tells the camera that it’s a jaguar. 🙈 It’s beyond embarrassing.

A few weeks ago, after I got admitted to the University of Amsterdam’s
Chemistry masters program, I put together the curriculum that fits my interest and educational background. It’s going through an approval right now but I wonder whether I should have included the chemical sensors course. 🙈

Aside from exercising 3x a week, #knitting helped me lose weight. That’s because I am too busy focusing on my work over thinking about food. My dietician was right about keeping my hands busy so I don’t end up eating too much.

I like #knitting patterns that start you off with a neckband because lord knows picking up those stitches to create a neckband later on is a pain in the butt. I hate it so much. The neckband is my sleeve island.

I started a #knitting #journal to document my journey. I started knitting again mid-September (15th to be exact) and so far I’ve finished 5 objects: a baby blanket, a sweater vest, a scarf, and two sweaters. I am too lazy to take photos of everything but will do it when I get better natural light.

I know a lot of knitters don’t enjoy knitting the sleeves of a sweater or cardigan but I happen to enjoy them because they just go so fast (thanks to decreases). It’s the body that takes forever to knit. Sleeve island >>>> body island.

I try to cuddle my cat on a daily basis because I don’t ever want the day to come where I regret not having cuddled her enough. I love miss Emi sooooo much.
