This time, I’m doing my toe ups with the heel as you go. I’m not convinced by the construction on this pattern. Well. It’s less a pattern, and more a loose confederacy of ideas, but that’s more or less what I wanted. This is for me to get my head around the basic techniques of toe up construction, so that… Read more »

Batman takes great pleasure in: Trapping me in bed, and Judging me for still being there I think that this picture from yesterday morning captures the best of both of these things. Also, am I the only one feeling like he’s channelling quest-giving NPC vibe? I’m just saying. *laughs* Not much going on today. I’ve spent most of it knitting,… Read more »

Lookit y’all, I’m so cute. And coat-free; it was warm enough earlier that I didn’t really need the extra layer. I could have done with the pockets, but *anyways*. Of course, I did one thing before I said I’d go out — I finished mah socks, which are now cozily on my feet. I’ve already started on the next pair,… Read more »

Smaller decided to camp out on the couch by me earlier, which was sweet. She asked me a few times to tuck her in, which yanno… bonus sweet. But yeah, been a day, more or less. I cocked up taking my meds last night and took ages to get myself out of bed this morning. Good thing it’s the weekend,… Read more »

I am entering the finishing stages of sock #2 — ish. I’m on the cuff now, which means I still have to circle back to do the heel. But that’s fine! Should be done by the end of the weekend one way or the other. Probably. In the interim, I can be amused and bemused by the fact that the… Read more »

I spotted these in our front grass yesterday, and snapped a picture. I *think* that they are Star of Bethlehem, which is some sort of lily? It’s pretty, but like… lily. There are several houses in our street that let their cats out to roam, so I might have to make the effort to remove them, just to be on… Read more »

Babble, yanno… ’cause it’s a phone post, har har. I slay me. I was feeling my age on my little postbox run though, lemme tell you. I managed to pull my left underboob muscle (actual scientific name, honest!) yesterday somehow, so I had to chuck pain meds at it enough to walk without pulling it. My only guess is that… Read more »

I’d flopped on the couch to annoy Smalls, and ended up taking a picture over in different light. I also got some pictures with Smalls, but those are yanno, just for us. 🙂 Nothing much to report on the day. Z and I made some progress on trying to get our heads around work stuff, so yanno, that’s nice. Past… Read more »

Poison doing her normal nighttime thing of claiming my chair, but — we’ve sort of reached an accord! Which is to say, she’ll actually get into the chair with me in the room now, and will sometimes let me carry her over to it. Maybe it’s her idea of punishment for the days where she comes over an hour before… Read more »

Okay realtalk, this was an attempt to take a sad/mope picture, and it just came out grumpy. I’m still feeling a bit sad and mopey, but come on — hilarious. But yeah! Sad! Mope! Just got slammed with a wave of it last night and it’s still lingering today. Mourning of sorts, I reckon. We can like… *gesticulate* make choices… Read more »
