Super awesome economy we’ve got. You’re right, I didn’t actually want to retire someday 😭

New Sleep Token has major “y’all don’t wanna hear me, you just want to dance” vibes. Also “I can do it with a broken heart”. Devastatingly beautiful song.

I’ve been working on this Lumme sweater for more than a month now which included frogging it after about 1/3 of the color work because I wasn’t happy with the colors. So so happy with it now. Tonight I learned how to do short rows. This has been such a fun and educational project.

One thing I’ve realized while boycotting Amazon is that it is so nice to go to a reputable site to find things and not have to filter through all the scams and trash. Taking away the anxiety that you could be getting scammed is huge.

Finally starting on the second sleeve. Gonna have a finished shawl/scarf this week. I started it 4 weeks ago today.

Ready for Sirdar’s spring crochet along of the hearts and flowers blanket. I much prefer cool colors instead of the colors in their kit so I changed it up. Excited to get started on week 1!

On Saturday I went back to @leadingmenfiberart.bsky.social with my aunt and my cousin. I ordered yarn that they didn’t have on hand and they dyed it and it was delivered to me today! So speedy. And soft and beautiful 😍

Save for retirement as soon as possible. If you have an employer match, save that percentage as a minimum. Increase your percentage by 1% every time you get a raise so you never feel the increase. Invest in index funds not the target year funds.
people over 30 quote this with some life advice for the rest of us?

Genuine question:

What are the benefits for knitting socks, and wearing them? As a general rule I don’t like or wear socks. But I see lots of people knitting them and they’re pretty! Wondering if I should try, but since I don’t like socks I’m worried it would be a waste of time.

Knitting while the kids are at gymnastics. I pulled out a tape measure to see how far I’ve come - I’ve added 31 inches since I was here last week!

Charlie was very sad yesterday because we were gone most of the day for a volleyball tournament and a trip to a yarn shop. Today he just wants to snuggle while I knit 🐶🧶💜

I found the cutest local yarn shop where they dye their own yarn! Bought some fingering weight that I cannot live without, but will definitely be back for more yarn. They have the most beautiful yarn and shipping is free when spending over $20!

Feeling stressed? Me too. Sometime in the middle of the night on election night I made a commitment to my husband to not let the stress consume me. I committed to taking care of my body because I’m going to need it to get through these next few years. Here are the specific things I committed to ⬇️

Currently knitting this Wrap Me Up scarf by Knitatude. It’s been an absolute joy and I love how it’s coming out. Using Caron cloud cakes yarn I bought years ago. So so soft 🧶

This weekend I finished a quilt that I had started 6 years ago. It’s a denim and flannel quilt with a super soft fleece backing. This quilt has two layers of cotton batting in it so it is very heavy and very cozy.

Realizing that there’s a community of people here who knit, crochet, quilt, etc and I want to join! Here’s a picture of my most prized quilt. Started January 2010 and finished November 2024. Quilted by hand 🌈

Do you ever have Sleep Token on in the background and just burst into tears unexpectedly because it’s pulling at something under the surface? No? Me either 😭

I called and left a message for my rep @repnikkibudzinski.bsky.social to express my support for AOC. If you call now, you don’t have to talk to anyone and can just leave a message. 202-224-3121
WE ARE STILL IN THIS.
Wipe your tears.
This is the difficult business of hope and defying expectation.
We do not give up.
We run through the tape.

Y’all aren’t allowed to throw in the towel until I do. 😉

Big breath. Locked in. Let’s do this.
