In a shocking development that no one could have seen coming, I have located my son's missing toy that was definitely not in his pocket and was lost forever. Against all odds, it was, in fact, in his pocket.

I'm camping with my son's scout troop this weekend. I am horrendously allergic to all of the outdoors. So even with my 3 separate allergy meds, I've sneezed no less than 15 times today. And every time I sneeze I hear @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social in my head say "oh god, that's not normal."

My version of "be prepared" on a scouts campout is to make sure I have enough knitting to cover the weekend.

I brought 3 projects this weekend...

Current side quest: making an entire pieced quilt (for the first time in at least 20 years)...for the sole purpose of turning it into a jacket...

Brewery patios with a cozy fire are the perfect way to spend a Midwestern spring Friday evening.

I decided to tackle two at a time socks. As with all things knitting, it's not nearly as intimidating as I imagined it to be.

The lunches in my kid's district cost $5.50 a day. That's $27.50 a week. I'm gonna tell my 8 year old that this government man says it's time for him to get a job to pay for it. I'm sure that's how much he paid with his paper boy money back before child labor laws ruined everything... 🙄
BROWN: Would you support getting rid of school lunch for vulnerable kids and getting rid of childhood cancer research?

REP. MCCORMICK: Philanthropy is where you get most of your money for childhood cancer research. When you talk about school lunches, hey, I worked my way through high school.

@holypost.bsky.social I'm listening to ep 654 and I just need you to know that "Cheeses (of Nazareth)" is the title of one of the lesser known Five Iron Frenzy albums, and it's delightfully chaotic.

Forcing myself to weave in my ends before I pick up my next pattern. I'm obsessed with these #maizemitts - this is my 4th pair this winter. Using kroy sock held double. I love the marled look, and they work up so quickly.

Bookish people: help me solve this consistent problem. I see a book recommendation and add it to my TBR. And then my goldfish memory immediately forgets who recommended it and why. I just joined #storygraph this week - is there a way to add a note to books on your to-read list?

Today is a day for knitting and escaping in an audiobook if ever there was one.

My harvest cardigan is in time out and will soon to be frogged. So I'm being a responsible knitter and finishing up an abandoned WIP from this summer.

I will refer to the "gulf of America" exactly as often as I refer to the "Willis Tower" 🙄

I feel like a boomer sending a FB reel via email right now. How does this work? What are the rules here? Do we post TT links if the creator isn't here? 😭

Just me combining the powers of innatentive and impatience in my particular brand of #ADHD. Months ago I mentally set aside this sweaters worth of yarn I was gifted to make a cardigan. My gauge was slightly off, but I went with it because it's stretchy and I wanted to Start the Thing™️...

Making progress on my Harvest Cardigan. I'm not confident in this yarn for this pattern (or my gauge, honestly) but it's certainly satisfying to watch it grow.

Today's plan: endlessly knitting while binging the series finale of tiktok. 🧶📱
Tomorrow's plan: no idea. Knitting while figuring out how to use (yet another) new social media platform?
