Done and Done

      No Comments on Done and Done

Today, I finished the hat. Did the knitting, did the sewing, and called it done. Wound up the wool, and found that have more than enough to do a second one. I guess that’s going to make it easier to fulfil EK’s request, hee hee (that is, if she’s happy with the pink <3). I noted a Facebook friend comment… Read more »

Solidarity Knitting

      No Comments on Solidarity Knitting

My biggest task today was to continue knitting on the pussy hat. While I’m almost done with the knitting (another 18 rows to go), I don’t expect to finish it tonight. I might finish the knitting, but then there’s still the sewing. It’s two hours until bedtime though, so who knows. I’d love to be able to finish it enough… Read more »

It Burns!

      2 Comments on It Burns!

Pink is not a colour I normally purchase. In raising two daughters, I have been overly mindful of things like the pink tax, of how often those overpriced pink good are of poorer quality, of the pressure on children to fit into the perceived gender binary (never mind that gender is a social construct, while biological sex is all over… Read more »

Roses

I am… half asleep, so like, hi. I’m here. Have a glass of Roses. Or at least, Roses wrappers, har har. I was jokingly calling them the casualty of war because they were originally strewn across the table, but then they got tidied up and looked randomly attractive. Or something. I don’t know, my brain is asleeeeeeeeeep. Knitting was good… Read more »

What the Eff, Skin?

      No Comments on What the Eff, Skin?

I’m having an acne breakout right now. I’m not impressed. I’m even less impressed because the lot of them seem to be cystic rather than poppable, so they’re just *there* and painful and not doing a thing besides being annoying and lumpy. There is one coming up over my eyebrow that I discovered by brushing it gently, which sent a… Read more »

The Lady Waits

      No Comments on The Lady Waits

Today has been a mixed bag. I woke up and found out that someone had died that was, to me, a problematic person. I knew she was going to die any time for the past decade or so, so her actually dying wasn’t a shock to my system. After all, my stepfather has been terminally ill for like, 30 years… Read more »

And Another One Done

      No Comments on And Another One Done

Mondays mean, as usual, doing as little as possible. I made sure the little one was tended to and mainly amused, I grudgingly made sure I ate something vaguely resembling healthy, and otherwise tuned out. I finished off the blanket square I’ve been dithering over the last couple of days and started an altogether different one, so yay for that…. Read more »

Spite Wool

      No Comments on Spite Wool

I feel like I have spent the bulk of today attempting to organise wool. Namely, that ball of red wool. That was supposed to be a skein. Yeaaah. Three attempts to end up with a tidy skein and I threw in the towel and settled for winding it old school. So yeah, I’ve not gotten as much knitting done as… Read more »

Just Me Today

      No Comments on Just Me Today

It’s Sunday. Which means I’m suffering low-grade depression and anxiety because my body apparently is programmed for such on a Sunday night, never mind there is absolutely no logical reason for it. But then, that’s the problem of those things… they tend to defy logic. I guess this week it’s sliiiiiiiiightly more reasonable because I’m going into work a day… Read more »

Grind-a-roonie

I have had the worst freaking luck in my Shiny hunting the last couple of days. I’ve effed up searches, having two end abruptly at 179 Pokémon deep, and 113 Pokémon deep. That’s… well, hours lost, and much annoyance gleaned. So it was sort of edifying today that I got this Grubbin here 22 Pokémon in, and Magnemite 60 in…. Read more »
