Our baby in younger, healthier days (2019). We lost him suddenly on Friday and we are completely devastated. Our hearts are broken. I don't know how to live without my little partner.

Rest in peace, little buddy. We love you so, so much, and miss you more than words can describe.

I designed a pattern. Stitched. Revised. Stitched. Swore a bunch. Revised. Checked math. Revised. Finally made whole scarf. Wove in ends. Blocked carefully on foam mats. Unblocked. Folded neatly.

It's been weeks & I just don't want to take pics, write up, & post my pattern. Arguably the easy part.

This is a must-read thread about the difference between POTS alone and POTS+PEM. If you're involved with patient care in any capacity, please take the time to read and understand this. Please stand up for patients who don't respond as expected to POTS treatments.
Feels like a good time for a thread about all things exercise for people living with infection (and exposure)-associated complex chronic illnesses (IACCs) such as #MECFS, #LongCOVID and chronic #Lyme /tick- and vector-borne illness. Let’s start with a trip down memory lane.

This was my very first pattern. It's a really squishy soft tree skirt. I called it Albatross because it was such a pain in the butt to get right.

A pair of juncos. I think this afghan has potential, but I chose the wrong background colour. Maybe I'll try again on a deep blue or olive green.
