That I met you one ordinary Thursday 25 years ago and we went on to create this ridiculously full life is magical. You make me brave, you make me feel safe, you made me believe I am lovable. I am the luckiest for having walked into that ice cream shop that February day. ๐Ÿ’™ @hammerpants99.bsky.social

I can't rave about this pattern and this yarn enough. This lace yoke??It's just the most perfect combination. ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿงถ

Except that doomscrolling makes wish I were still drinking even more! So far, I'm distracting my brain with romance/romantasies, yarn, and fantasizing about home decor.

Yeah. And it's looking like 18-24 months before book 4.

Be forewarned (because I was not ๐Ÿคฃ) that it's a 5 book series and only 3 have been released. It could be a few years before we have the whole series!

That's why I just finished a re-read of the first two! I couldn't remember Iron Flame *at all*. It's the Hide and Peak pattern from Maxim Cyr for my husband ๐Ÿ’™

I love a great pattern and will buy great patterns all day every day for... Everything because I'm not interested in self-drafting. But it is why I tend to stick to limited designers. I'm challenging myself to branch out this year.
January 25, 2025 at 6:10 PM
Yes! Sure,*I* know how to manipulate a pattern to do what it should/what I need, but I'm not a new knitter. I know several test knitters who can and will do both - read and provide feedback from a new knitter perspective AND provide feedback on how they changed it to work.

Listening to Onyx Storm and starting my first stranded colorwork sweater!
January 25, 2025 at 5:57 PM
But really. I'm uninterested in paying good money for shitty patterns, which definitely stops me from supporting new-to-me designers unless there are a good number of projects with commentary on the pattern.
January 25, 2025 at 5:53 PM
And sometimes the designers are prolific and extremely popular and their patterns are still poorly written ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Rom-coms/romantasies and yarn are saving me. And searching for thrifted/used, reasonably priced Lego sets for Matty.

Huge HRT proponent over here! Life altering. But man, alcohol will bring back the night sweats and hot flashes so fast.

If I'm not drinking because it fucks with *every* menopause symptoms, I'm not interested in an increased cancer risk, and I already worry enough about dementia... How are we surviving this time period? Please and thank you.

The firehose of bad news is doing it's job.

We're still talking about the J6 Pardons and he's moved on to withdrawing fro WHO, gagging the CDC & halting NIH research.

The KKK is distributing fliers in Cincinnati. ICE is getting ready to raid blue cities in red states. And the Media can't keep up.
