Knitter, crocheter, crafter, wife, childless cat lady, bibliophile, writer. Quite cranky 97% of the time. ABOLISH ICE. TRUMP SUCKS.
I’ve had what I think is a virus for the past 2 days: no appetite, headache, nausea, intestinal distress, and racing heartbeat. Doc did a CBC, checked my blood sugar, checked urine, did swabs for COVID & flu, & gave me a liter of IV fluids. Feel like utter shit. *whine*

Prime Cowl is now available on Ravelry, Payhip & my website. It uses the stacked stitches technique exemplified by Xandy Peters. It’s worked in the round with 2 options for the lower edge.
The stacks grow with prime numbers. You need 3 colours of DK yarn (~230m total) & you use 1 colour at a time.

*cough* If you're gift shopping for anyone interested in how the world works, do consider these. Storm in a Teacup is all about the physics of everyday life and Blue Machine is all about how the ocean works - the water itself, which is the biggest story on Earth. Share the joy of nature & science!

This was one of three watercolors in a series. I was badly needing a day of painting play. I teach a workshop called Creative Play for Adults. I have to mirror that. It was immensely enjoyable painting with wild abandon. #ArtAdventCalendar #EastCoastKin #trees

“The good die young—
and those whose hearts are dry as summer dust
Burn to the socket.”

#showmeyourknits is holiday themed this week. I decided that I needed some sparkle at this time of year, found some appropriate yarn in my stash and finished my sparkly scarf this morning. 😊
As ever, the sparkles don’t photograph well, but they’re definitely there.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

Happy Wednesday! I’m feeling a tweed mood today so we’re featuring the Breakfast Tweed collection. These color ways coordinate beautifully to create fade sets, and are available in DK or fingering.
