Getting slammed with some of the post-vaccine lurgy today. My arm is still a bit tender, though my nighttime ministrations have helped keep me from waking myself up from ouch factor. Naw like, the main thing is that I got slammed this afternoon with a wave of… feeling heavy? It’s not like breathing is any harder, but each breath feels… Read more »

So yeah, finished the first sock this morning. I pretty much immediately started on the second, and make quite a bit of progress earlier. Mum was impressed; she’s not taken a shine to doing socks before, but she has expressed a lot more curiosity about all of it lately. I don’t think that I’ll be roping her into the fun… Read more »

It was lovely to get out of the village. The weather was a bit gloomy when we left, but otherwise was really pretty. Even if we were just driving through town, it was nice for the chance of scenery. And it was a productive day. We got all the boxes ticked, and everything dovetailed fairly nicely. Now I’m just chilling… Read more »

Tomorrow is gonna be a busybee day — which meant I took some time today to have a nice long bath, paint my nails, etc. Much easier to face the outside world with clean hair and flashy nails, yanno? But yes! We have our second COVID vaccine dose. We have local elections. We have a parent teacher conference call (had… Read more »

I don’t know how much grind I’m going to put towards scarf #2, but at least it’s cast on now. There’s every chance that it will mainly camp out in a bag until I’m done with this pair of socks, but. At least it’s an option on the table (har har har). Today in excitement and getting old — new… Read more »

And finally, today, I am back to my sock. I got the bits needed for my shop made, continued a failed science experiment, and prodded my dying cow of a desktop through a crash and updates. So yanno, keeping busy and such. Which I’mma go get back to, so hibye y’all. <3

Today’s crafting has, so far, been 100% store orientated. I restocked my hearts, which took most of the day at a casual pace. I’ve made a key chain, mulled on some things, and have these to put holes in to restock some listings in my shop. Or whatever. It’s all about relaxing and having fun on a bank holiday weekend….

The scarf! She is DONE! Today was primarily dedicated to tassels, ’cause… ugh. I did tassels, and then like… there weren’t enough tassels, so I had to double up on what I had in place. I learned a few things, left them a bit wild… overall happy with the result. I’ve let it be known in a few places that… Read more »

I’ve never understood the concept of no clouds in the sky meaning that it’s a beautiful day. Clouds are awesome! They’re pretty and help keep the sun from being quite so bold. Plus yanno, I like rain and snow and all the weathery sorts of things, so. But anyways, it’s Friday! Woo! Week over! I’m not doing much knitting today,… Read more »

(And not violas yesterday — pansies! Remembered this morning, ha ha) I was around at Mum’s house earlier to knit and chat a bit. I was standing in the kitchen, and I saw a lovely huge magpie in the birdbath. Of course, the fucker flew off in the time it took me to get my phone, but ANYWAYS. I took… Read more »
