I like making stuff and nerd things and read a lot of books. I also have no idea what I'm doing.

If I were a Pokemon...
Mosslax is coated in moss and has a flower blooming atop their head. Perhaps Mosslax was asleep for a really long time…

I have missed my knitting and D&D group so much. Love how fast this cardigan is knitting up and it's going to be very squishy and cozy when it's done. 🧶

Current read: Anathema by Keri Lake. So far I like it, about 25% of the way through. It definitely has strong gothic vibes and the magic system and world building are interesting. I also love a weird crow girl.

Hello again, Bsky. Life has been busy, but I've missed having a creative community to engage with. I'm currently working on a Seaglass Cardi by @woolandpine.bsky.social using some Knit Picks Swish DK in Dove mixed with various fingering/DK in cool colors. It's so squishy, I'm already obsessed.

Sharing this because I'm seeing a lot of nymphs lately... If you see a spotted lanternfly and it's not native to your area (which I think is China and Vietnam), KILL IT. Here's a picture with the various life stages, I'm seeing the early stage nymphs right now (black with white spots). Smoosh them!

Explain yourself in 5 hobbies!
1) Crochet (and knitting) keeps me occupied and challenged
2) Bird-spotting from the car because we live between two wetland bird reserves
3) Nerdy telly/films - Dr Who, LOTR, and all that followed on
4) Car booting with my mad pal Angela
5) Singing (fairly well!)

Another recent finish: Sorrowland by Rivers Solomon. This was beautifully written and I could not put it down, but it definitely does not hold its punches in regards to the violence that is humanity. If you can handle body horror, I highly recommend giving this a read. (Image pulled from Google.)

I know I'm in the middle of crocheting a sweater, but I guess I'll have to cast on something blue! I do have blue-adjacent yarn set aside for a Cowltopus...

Good, because this is still a game I reach for again and again.
Eric Barone, the creator of Stardew Valley, keeps updating his video game. And has no plans of stopping.

Trapped between a sleeping cat and a sleeping child while my husband is asleep on a nearby chair with the other cat. I don't want to sleep, but if I move the equilibrium will be disturbed and chaos will descend. 😮💨

Unpop knotting opinions.
Slow is fine. Knitting influencers want you to think its normal to knit a sweater in a week. Its not. Most of us don’t have that kind of time. And if you are plus size, like me, you are looking at an even longer time frame. Go at your own pace.
