The Wishing Game, by Meg Shaffer

This one was recommended by one of my friend/librarians. Made me cry, twice (good tears). Exactly what I needed

Thanks, Megan. I love you and hate you for making me cry all at the same time 💕

Well hey there, red yarn

Sure would be a shame if you magically turned into a tomte tassel hat

Such a shame 🇳🇴

The back of a crocheted sweater in progress. It’s a raglan cut, worked from the bottom up, and the yarn color shifts from royal blue to lighter shades to white.

A Day of Fallen Night revolves around mothers and daughters.

If the theme of The Priory is defeating evil, this one’s theme is surviving it.

There’s a murder of about 2 dozen crows out back right now.

Anyone have any requests for our witchy avian overlords? 🐦‍⬛🖤

FRIEND: what are you doing this weekend?

ME: slowly crumbling from the gruesome balancing act of needing to stay informed while trying to salvage enough healthy headspace to be able to continue to support myself

FRIEND: cool, cool

(It’s Wednesday, right? Gah, what a long week)

Anywho, I started a new sweater with Caron Cloud Cakes Perfect Phrasing. It’s a raglan, made in 4 pieces seamed together. I’m looking forward to watching the color shift in each piece.

We should also make the connection that the Right is perpetually in the wrong and prone to fascism but for some reason we never learn that lesson.
From Current Affairs: The Left is Always Right Too Early From slavery and child labor in the 19th century to the Iraq War and Gaza, the Left position has been accepted only after horrible human costs. Next time, how about listening before the damage is done?

Watching Percy Jackson with my parents and discussing which character we’re most like.

My mom is obviously Annabeth. I said I might be Grover.

Mom: no, your dad is Grover. You would sass a god to their face if given half a chance

Me: oh my gods, I’m Persassy Percy

Interesting addition to the story of the Priory. Probably shouldn’t have read it while watching the fall of a real life empire… not helping my depression, even knowing how the Priory ends

Middle nibling (3.5 yo) loves watching my mom knit. When he realizes that she made the cardigan she’s wearing, he says, “Wow! You must have been really tired when you were all done!” 💕

A woman stands before a full moon, wearing a gown and flowers in her hair. She has horns and a pair of wings. The text at the top reads, “You look happier.” And below is the response text, “Thanks, I stopped people pleasing and became the weird, feral little menace I should have been all along.”

Hooray! I got the lace sweater done!

There was a lot of frogging and reworking with this one, but I’m really happy with how it turned out.
