Also, I've been looking into m a y b e trying to knit a sweater again, but most of the easy patterns have high necklines and I can feel my skin itching just looking at the pictures. I suppose I could always try a pullover first, to avoid the sensory issues...

I've fallen down a rabbit hole of "Eastern European"/"Polish"/combination/"Polish granny" knitting videos and now I remember, this is totally how I used to knit when I first started! And then I "corrected" myself because "omg you're twisting your stitches!" even though I wasn't. 🙃

Archie has been making so much progress since I got this cat scratcher bed. 😽🧡⁣

I live in a constant state of bottomless resentment that our current reality is just an endless string of actual events that, if *I* wrote them, I'd be told they were too broad, on-the-nose, etc.

Like, come the fuck ON, Louvre.

Oof, another episode of #TimeForChaos from @glasscannonnetwork.bsky.social and another complete emotional devastation by @rossbryant.bsky.social in the very last minutes.

Natasha and Bucky spent yesterday evening trying to snooze on my lap but with trick or treaters, I had to keep getting up and eventually they sulked off, until this morning.

Now Natasha is sprawled on top of me, but she's in for another disappointment because I have to go to the cemetery soon.

I got the double flu/covid shot on Wednesday, had some initial soreness, and then bam, fever and muscle aches so bad I called my mom for some long distance pity. 🤒😫

(I don't get fevers very often so when they hit, they take me out.)

The cats all piled on the bed with me, even Archie stayed. ❤️

Magic loop two at a time #sock #knitting is definitely the way to go for me, since it actually guarantees I'll finish and have a pair of identical items. And it's so easy!

When you come home and find the stairs, kitchen, and part of the living room covered in yarn, and your 🧦 WIP lying in the middle of it. 😬

I guess that's the danger of center-pull yarn cakes, it's really easy for a cat to pull it out. But it also makes my #knitting a lot easier, so it's a trade-off.

For once, Archie did not simply plant himself on top of Bucky without any concern. 🤣 #CatsOfBluesky #BetterWithCats

Just like the movie, the score for "Tron: Legacy" is so much better than "Tron: Area." The former stands alone as an excellent listening experience while the latter, while an OK score in the movie, feels like an unfinished NIN album that brings nothing Tron-like with it.

I used to be really good at logging my yarn purchases on Ravelry, and then there was that big brouhaha about the site redesign and I guess I stopped using the site beyond just looking up patterns. Which is why I now have a bunch of yarn that's wound into nice cakes but missing labels and argh...

My cats love to sit on my lap, but unfortunately today is not a "sit and relax" kind of day; it is a "remember that thing you forgot and get up every five minutes" kind of day, so sorry to them in advance.

So apparently magic loop sock #knitting is super easy? I didn't even need to look anything up, it seems so intuitive! Not really faster than double-point needles, but less fiddly and fewer chances of stitches getting dropped or stretched out between needles.

No one likes being treated as if they're on-call and I don't want to disrupt its work/eternity balance, but I'm just saying that when its able to it might be time for the ceaseless watcher to turn its gaze upon any number of wretched things.

I kept going with the double strand for the edging and I had enough yarn! This will be smaller than the original pattern (Bridgewater by Jared Flood) calls for since I reduced the size of the central panel, but it should be enough for warming up my shoulders or lap. #knitting
October 4, 2025 at 5:47 PM
Now that I'm down to the last 2 skeins, I'm also seeing that held together, they're thicker than the others, so the edging is coming out too thick for my liking and I'm not sure if I wouldn't be better off just doing single-strand... Neverending #knitting problems.
