My Brain: You should probably be #knitting baby stuff or blankets or socks for Christmas.
Me: I think I’ll knit another sweater 😂
Started this Friday night using Drops Nepal. Nothing fancy. Just a workhorse sweater that’ll last.

Still have to do the other one, but I managed to finish #knitting a sock this weekend. Yarn is WYS in the Owl colorway from the County Birds series 😁🧦🧶

I love obscure #horror movie facts, and this one about George C. Scott’s 1980 classic The Changeling is a fun one that not a lot of people know 🤯

Finished all the colorwork on my new sweater I’m #knitting, and it looks amazing! So happy I was able to do all that on the first try without any issues. Still have a long way to go, but the hard part is over! 😊🧶

Progress on Frog & Toad sock #1. Decided to do a shadow wrap heel. I may or may not finish it before my new sweater yarn arrives later this week from Wool & Co. 🧶🧦

I had planned on recording a new podcast episode this weekend since it’s been a while, but we lost one of our four-legged family members on Friday and it’s sucked all the motivation out of me. Hug your pets close. They might not be your whole world, but you’re theirs ❤️

Eyeballing this for my next pullover. I’ve done loads of colorwork before, just never in a sweater, so I’m not too worried about that 🧐🧶 #knitting

I still have to block it and weave in the ends, but for all intents and purposes, my very first knit sweater for myself is done.
Took me a little over a month to make. I used 8 1/2 skeins of Isager Aran Tweed wool. Cost was $126 USD (shipping included.)
End result: Priceless 😊🧶

I have 30 rows left to go on my sweater and have run out of yarn. I knew that would happen so I ordered more and it was supposed to be here yesterday but USPS didn’t deliver the goods 😭🧶

I knew it was coming, but this one still hurts. Black Sabbath and Ozzy helped shape my youth. From Blizzard of Oz to No More Tears, his music was a constant presence while I was growing up. Not to mention Paranoid. What a frickin' album, man.
Rest easy, Ozzy. You've more than earned it.
