Cheerful old Sass-mouth into #Nature, #knitting, #kdrama, #kpop, esp. #OT7 #BTS, #midcenturymodstyle, #Wisconsin, home reno, pets, what's going on. Leftward w/situational profanity. I don't follow 0 posters or reposters. Skyline too repetitive, sorry.

Source for great yarns: bulk Jamieson shetland 2-ply (5x100g option) J&S Supreme not Spindrift. Not oiled on cone. Undyed natural colors. So pretty!

I'm thinking The Twigs top down pullover (Ravelry Junko Okamoto)

Done. Much smaller than intended.

But it's a nifty 'neck funnel' per another clever knitter here. Much softer after wash/block. That's often true w/Noro yarn, sorta gnarly out of the ball but transformed after a nice warm bath. (As am I.)
But
Hem curls...hmm

Day 3 #EYDC2025 Great new-to-me Actors
#SoJiSeob in #MercyforNone grounded performance in gritty reformed-gangster-goes-all-bok-sooy on his old gang.

#LeeChaeMin in #BonAppetitYourMajesty hilarious, menacing and charming in turns. History is written by the winners, 'bad' guys may not be so.

I should clarify.
There exists no "Anti" dementia drug, there are only drugs that slow or decrease the severity of amyloid-related mental decline.
Kusinia is one.
Lots of side effects. MRIs needed to check for brain bleeds.

My Dearest Nemesis AND Law in the City in 2025 - she's on fire!
She's just one of those performers who draw your eye in a scene no matter how many others share the screen with her.

Blocking dots tapered cowl.
Upper facing to sew down.
Decided to p/u & knit rib hem to +length/fight curl.
As a tight knitter, the Fair Isle tightened and is smaller than planned.
Oh 💩!
Used US8, prob. shoulda used 10s. Oops.

Sunday.
Prayers not answered.
Still hopeful.

Some snow, not a crippling dump. This WI town's sts plowed by 7 am Sunday.
Impressive.

A corner of LR almost done.

The impressive thing about #cdrama #TheDouble is how well-written it is, how plausibly FL's decisions lead to actions&consequences, the high-wire tension as she reads people & judges a moment to speak up or watch.

She is a daring woman with a Cause. (Great writing)

I am 100% enthralled!

Started #Cdrama #TheDouble

Timeless fun. A wronged woman gets herself a heaping helping of revenge on those who betrayed her and the young lady (similarly vilified and left to suffer in harsh seclusion till beaten to death) whose identity she assumes.

Found another canvas bag of knits.

A light cape/poncho/thingy folding/seaming DIY'd a bit from clever 6-sided, knit-in-the-round shawl pattern "Nuvem" (Avail. #Ravelry 6600+ FOs!)

Pattern is ideal for stashbusting fingering or lacewt yarns like Kidsilk Haze

Forecast with winter storm warnings and chubby flakes flying already, I’ll finish this cowl by Sunday with only 17” of narrowing cowl to go.

Snow storm on the way.

Beautiful.

2nd fry-your-eyes cowl w/dots
Pattern=in-the-round Fair Isle tube w/kitchener join after mobius twist.
I'll taper bottom to top, doubling over upper neck to stand up without needing to twitch it a lot.
Overshot size?
Hot water 1st soak to full it😈

a fat,
whiney,
bone-spur-lying,
likely child rapist.

I'm as happy with rear view of latest as I am front. I knit by 'what I cannot see won't bother me' maxim and, frankly, it doesn't. I only go for knit perfection in gifts. Like these for newborn twins. Better DIY cub ears than pattern.

Suddenly Marjorie Taylor Greene seems capable of rational thought and we’re supposed to forget she’s been tRump’s No.1 crazed Howler Monkey in the House flinging feces for the last 5 years?

Nope.

Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out, b*tch.

Good riddance.

1st coat of poly on new wood window trim in LR, 2nd to go, maybe 3rd TBD.

Only reason it's done: #Kpop. #ENHYPEN CD on my newish (bought used, $250) Bose Wave Radio/CD player volume up to '11' from the study.

Love CDs again! #BTS CDs soooo Gr8, too!
Q: What am I to do with this CR code & why?
