I’ve got bingo for the @positivelyyarnie.bsky.social WIP Bingo card! I finished the Stephen West musiKAL shawl last night and I’m so pleased with how weirdly wonderful it turned out!
Annie, a bald white woman in a green tee shirt and holiday pj pants, models her newly finished Stephen West MusiKAL shawl! Annie’s finished MusiKAL shawl! It’s a strange mix of neon green, neon pink, white speckled, and navy blue yarns. Waves, harlequin squares, scallops, stripes, and basket weave complete this lovely and strange shawl.

It’s week two for the @positivelyyarnie.bsky.social WIP Bingo Card and I’ve almost got a bingo! I may try for a black out. 🤨🧐

A piece of white paper with the WIP Bingo Card on it is propped against project bags. Nine of the squares are colored in in pink, blue, green, yellow, and purple highlighter.

Happy #caturday to all the cats who like to vex their owners by sitting on currently-being-read books.

#caturday is also #laundryday in this house. 😂
Bowie, an orange tabby cat, is playing with a pair of white and black plaid boxer shorts on a partially made bed. Other folded laundry is in the forescreen. His ears are to the side and his eyes are huge and freaked out looking at the camera.

I’ll be on Anne Gudger’s Coffee Talk on Thursday at 7 PST! 🥰 I’m very excited to share two essays about grief, one I wrote recently and one from 11 years ago. DM me for the zoom link!
A picture of Annie, a bald white woman in a blue long sleeved shirt with a gray hand knit tunic over it, looking to the left and smiling. She’s outside and there’s moss and plants in the background. The picture is in a white frame with the words “Annie Carl” above the picture and “We’re made up of real people with real lives and real stories.” below the picture.

Currently reading The Shadow Glass by @joshwinning.bsky.social and now I need a deep rewatch of all things Jim Henson.
A copy of The Shadow Glass sits on a wood table. The cover is dark and features a fox-esc creature called a kettu standing in a dark mirror.

Happy #caturday from the completely zonked out Bowster. Do you think he’s dreaming of large women? 😉 Or large cats?
