I'm grateful to my knitting machine for enabling me to do a particular project more quickly and limit the amount of RSI involved, but good goddamn is hand knitting easier and way less frustrating for me @_@

Nothing like being unable to knit on a particular project for a few days because you sliced your thumb open on a *very visibly and obviously* sharp object. Hopefully I can get back to this undyed superwash super soonish -_-

Yarns held double - sparkle sock weight "Snowball" from Happy Days Fiber Arts, and lace weight baby alpaca/silk/cashmere from Tactile Dactyl, both on Etsy. The lace weight is possibly *the* softest yarn I have ever touched - and was less than $25 incl shipping.

Sometimes it's time to just say "fuck it", eat some peanut butter and chocolate cookies, and go to bed an hour and a half early.

trump is the president in the sense that he holds the office but he very clearly isn't the president in the sense that he has basically relieved himself of its duties
Trump’s echo chamber:
Very little U.S travel
No rallies or contact with supporters
Right-wing media
Dinners with rich donors and billionaires
Truth Social
Lack of staff to tell him no www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Trump surrounds himself with those who flatter him in places where he is comfortable.

Hokay, so, we're at 100%, and there's still just under three weeks left to go. So it's stretch goal time! This goal is to fund my acquisition of a new set of knitting needles. Please check out my project and share and/or pledge if anything strikes your fancy! There's lots of nifty stuff. Ok, bye!

I just finished knitting a hoodie, which I made with the intention to sell. I tracked my time for this project. All told, it took me around 41.5 hours. This sweater is a 40 hour work week rendered in yarn. If it sells, I will not get a reasonable hourly rate for this work.
