Best advice I’ve gotten in a long time: Decide what kind of life you actually want. And then say no to everything that isn’t that.
Ahhh Boston, I’ve missed you! Next stop, New Hampshire and Maine. 💜

Two days. I finished this in two days, which I think is a personal record. Its a gift for a “secret sister” who likes orange and butterflies. 😊 🧶
Pattern is called March of the Butterflies by Grey Owl Knits, yarn is Cornucopia and Reapers Rags by Spun Right Round. #knitsky

Finally catching up on the @worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com Midnight Deep Dive - can I just say that I LOVE the concept of the Arator campaign and the Arcantina? Anything going back to the old world to experience it in different ways is a win. Azeroth is still the best thing about the game.

Tonight I’m chilling in a Hard Rock Hotel room, listening to the in-room music channel while doing some intricate stitching.
Me: “Remember when Hard Rock used to play music that was actually popular?”
Hubs: “That is the most old-person thing I’ve ever heard you say.”
He’s right.

Life update: one more trip to TN this week to close on my in-law’s house and deal with probate court matters. It’s been a long road to get here but we finally are nearing the end. I hope to get back to podcasting in October, just in time for Fiber Festival season. 🧶

Knitty has it right.
Funny enough, when I was in the planning for my podcast, I kept getting advice to use AI for scripting, for graphics, for subject matter, whathaveyou. No thanks. I’d rather be my authentic weird self, and I’d rather consume real content from real people.

In all my "Knitty doesn't use AI" messaging, I forgot that designers might want to turn to it for a tweak to their intro or a tarting-up of their photos. Whoops.
It's now in the Submission Guidelines, and is the last item to confirm on the Submission Form. We don't do AI. Please you don't either.

I don’t typically do kickstarters, but I am here with bells on. There are so few knitting magazines left, and I love their creative concept for this one.
For the knitters -

Today's commute was 7 hours round-trip. I hope to not have to do that again for a while.

Really can’t wait for life to normalize again. This week we are out of state AGAIN doing a final cleanout on my in-laws house and getting it on the market. I am waiting for this late summer heat to break because after we get this settled I want a slow, cozy, cool fall.

Between being sick, working on a fall sweater, listening to #Warcraft podcasts talking about the upcoming expansion hype, and knowing that my next vacation is our annual autumn trek to New England - it feels like fall is coming. Not quite in the air yet, but close. 🧶

Welp. RSV and bronchitis have put a crimp in this week’s plans. Had to get tested for pneumonia as well, they said its negative “for now”. 🙄 This is the worst I have ever felt. I could deal with the congestion, but the fever/chills/aches are what is kicking my ass.

Figured out a nice life hack: a recumbent bike is a pretty decent place to get some knitting done. I looped a little bag around one of the side handles to hold the yarn balls so they don’t go all over the floor. Add in an audiobook to listen to and it’s a multitasking dream. Rigby approves.

This little dude has consumed the last two days at our house. His name is Jasper, and he is the tiniest, cuddliest, purriest baby ever. He will set up camp on your chest or tummy and just hang out for hours.

I was lucky enough to be in the audience the night(s) this was recorded. Ben Folds' work with the Kennedy Center (pre-Trump) was so important for musical education. I'm honestly surprised this ended up getting released but I'm so glad it did. open.spotify.com/album/1PwCVE...

Last new yarn for a while: Three skeins of Direwolf Graffiti by La Bien Aimee. I have a project in mind but no pic yet as I’m still deciding about the other yarn to pair this with. This yarn is gorgeous, the name is perfection, and shipping was so FAST from France! #knitting 🧶

I know everybody is talking about the Poop Cruise documentary on Netflix, but if I may recommend a more heartwarming one, also on Netflix: The Quilters, about a restorative justice program where prisoners make quilts for foster kids. I’d love to see a series like this.
