A fairytale inspired mashup set in Rock Creek Park. There are interfering animals, a shape shifting FMC, and music as a love language.

I Belong to You by Tara Kennedy cover - green with swirly things, a moon, a heart, and geckos surrounding the words. Arrows pointing to the cover say:
She's a mo'o nixie who can shape shift into a gecko and a dragon.
He's the tour manager for his dad's rock band.
Their parents may have forgotten to tell them about a magical bargain. Oops.

I hope this artist got paid well for making this. But as far as I can tell the worm comes from you unless you eat Skittles and then become a rainbow person.

Excellent streak. Can you use like Duolingo rules and just offer yourself a streak freeze for yesterday?

For hat week, here's two versions of the same hat - one color work, one where I purled instead of changing color. #ShowMeYourKnits

Green hat with pom pom and brown brim, and multicolor patterned hat also with pom pom and brown brim. Patter for both is There's a Rabbit on my Head by Stephen West. Yarn is Blue Sky Fibers Woolstock Worsted. Pom poms were purchased and added.

Oh phooey. I guess I needed to rethink my relationship with gummy candies anyway. Le sigh.

Waited too long to eat lunch, so I didn't let it properly cool before eating and the roof of my mouth is still super mad at me.

If you ever thought I wish Kate McKinnon and her sister would tell me a fantastical story about old timey orphan sisters who uncover a mystery an etiquette school, I have excellent news: libro.fm/audiobooks/9781668...

Well, can't watch my silly you tube videos, so firing up a cast album on Freegal it is.

Cherry blossoms is a great idea. But books would be great too.

What would *your* book smell like if you engaged in a mega weirdo scented pages promotional campaign?

There is this one smaller unknown book in Picard's quarters in season 4 of #StarTrekTNG that is evading me. Here it is seen in "Qpid"↖️, "Suddenly Human"↗️ and "Devil's Due"⬇️. It is not one of his Shakespeare books but I have no clue what it is, the one illustration seen also isn't helping...

Oh, Cancer is being a jerk again, I see.

Yeah, my relatives who stayed there were not from PA, but found it after some research.

It has in fact happened. I have been gifted a journal (almost) too pretty to write in.

Gray leather bound journal tied with turquoise ribbon, stop a bag that says Jenni Bick, write the story of your life.

Journal open to show a multicolored paper of greens and blues next to a lined paper.

Really need to thank the weather gods. My friend and I have had a run of unseasonable or unfriendly weather on days we picked to meet for al fresco lunch (spanning years) and the rain held off and we had a really nice day today.

This is such a great color pallete. Noro is so amazing.

I think the closest I have to a spooky knit is this shawl knit in a volcano themed color. #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶

Close up of shawl knit in a black orange yellow colorway. Shawl is Leaf Peeper Bandit by Jennifer Burke. Yarn is Rock Creek Yarn Super Soft Sock in Kilauea.

You have always done the bestest job weaving in ends when it turns out you have to tink.

In collaboration with @Slate.com we followed six people who were displaced during the takeover. Two of them have chosen to flee D.C. entirely for green space in Virginia. Four have stayed in D.C. Read the story now 🔗 https://bit.ly/3J2Y7SG
