Bad post-chemo recovery day, but Aleya is adorable. And muddy. Oh my god so much mud.

Big note for next time: Turn the toaster oven down 25 degrees from whatever the recipe calls for. The crust is darker than in the pic, and they had zero oven spring.
I’ve never baked in this toaster oven, so no surprise. We’ll see how the inside of the rolls look when they’re sliced!

Stand mixer did its job. The dough is supposed to be wet and sticky - adding flour would make the rolls dense - so now it’s time to let it rise until doubled.

We got cold cuts but forgot rolls, so it’s time to break glass in case of emergency. Or, rather, open book!
We don’t have lard, but I remembered I have bacon grease, so I’m trying that instead of butter. It’s currently softening to room temp. Progress report after I catch my breath snd ret lunch!

Pull through. Again, be careful to have enough yarn for both loops.
To tighten 1, insert your hook in 1, then gently pull each side of the loop formed with the needle.
Then insert your hook into 2 and pull the yarn tail to tighten.
Yarn over and pull through as normal, completing the stitch!

Insert your needle FROM THE TOP DOWN into the BLO to be worked next.
Make a loop in the working yarn and feed it through the eye. Make sure you’ve got plenty of spare yarn in your working loop, so you don’t accidentally unstitch it.

Random #crochet tip!
Having trouble getting your hook into a tight loop? Use a needle.
Here, I have to crochet the next stitches in the BLO (back loop only). Since I already crocheted FLO (feont loop only), the stitches are super tight.

Spotted at Rock Creek Park.
Al this little pair needs is a flaming cyber truck at their feet and another one - not yet ablaze - in the distance, pointed out by the rider as their next target.

I forgot to post this, but look what @ravenmae.bsky.social made! It’s a magnetic-closure locket with one of Aleya’s baby teeth, a magical unicorn gift from Kieran, and a little knot of Bucky’s fur I pulled off a fleece jacket in my closet. ❤️

It’s really hard to take pics of 2D flatzois unless you catch them at just the right angle.

It is ridiculous how flat borzois can get.
