My next door neighbour admired my sweater and commented that grey is her favourite colour, so I used the rest of my yarn to make her this beret.
Free pattern is Classic French Beret and yarn is Colurmart 2/28 cashmere-silk wound x4. 47 grams.

I finished a sweater, took 4 months. Liv Sweater by Moreca in 2/28nm x4 cashmere-silk to get DK weight for a worsted weight pattern. Very happy with the progress I've made on my tubular bind offs, or maybe the yarn is forgiving.

Every $1 spent on NIH funding returns nearly $3 to the economy - an almost 200% return on investment💰.
Also 99% of drugs developed 2010-2019 were funded by NIH ‼️🤯
Cutting NIH funding not only hurts the economy but will hurt families and patients 😔💔

Not fond of e.coli either.

Two of my kittens were adopted today! I had them from 5 weeks old; they're 8 months now.
They liked to help me with my knitting, in this case, an Italian tubular bind off.

My MPP came to my door today to ask for my vote. Said he's not running as PC but as an independent. Doesn't matter when he's tied to Ford. The only viable alternative in my riding is Liberal.
