I decided to use a different color on the edge of the hem of my Holly sweater and boy do I regret it. Not that I don’t like the color of the edge but I can’t see shit. I can’t do the Italian bind off without straining my eyes. Gonna pause for now & I’ll attempt to do this in broad daylight instead.

I survived the yarn hydra! I finished #knitting the motif and boy it was not fun to juggle six, yes six balls of yarn to knit my holly motif. But yay I survived. Now I can continue with the boring bits of the pattern.

I try to cuddle my cat on a daily basis because I don’t ever want the day to come where I regret not having cuddled her enough. I love miss Emi sooooo much.

I got some shorties a couple weeks ago and these needles and accompanying cables came in clutch today as I was #knitting the sleeves of my Monday sweater. 🎉

One of those rare moments my independent diva cat comes to sit on my lap and stays for a good half an hour so she can receive some attention and good ol’ chin and belly rubs. I love Emi sooooo much.

I slept in some parts of Romeo and Juliet. The ballet didn’t save me.

Of course I got us the really good seats on the balcony. Made possible by early planning by yours truly.

Saturday night at the Opera. We’re seeing a ballet performance of Romeo and Juliet. But first, champagne.

Just finished my Olga sweater (will post pics tomorrow) and I just ordered two kits from Knitting for Olive. I need to start making my Christmas and New Year’s sweaters if I want to wear them in time for the holidays. I will be making the Holly sweater and the Snow sweater. #knitting

Got my illustrated copy of Goblet of Fire today and so far it looks consistent in the style of MinaLima. Front cover side by side comparison with book 3, so far it looks consistent with the style.

I spent a decade to get my university diploma so that my cat can sit on it. She likes to sit on my laptop, iPad and other important things.

I coerced my bf to get me an early Christmas present — a hand massager! So good for my sore hands from knitting all day!

It makes me really happy when my cat slow blinks back at me. I love you, too my sweet girl. Mama loves you to the moon and back.❤️

I’ve cast on my Olga sweater and today I am about 24 rows away from joining in the round. It feels like a long ass time to be stuck in this purgatory that is Curlandia. #knitting

Tomorrow when I am finished with my vest, I’d like to make a gauge swatch for my first ever sweater project — the Olga sweater by #PetiteKnit. I wanna make it in this colorway because I want this to be my Christmas sweater. I want the candy cane vibes. #knitting

Took me 10 days so far to make this. I have one more armhole to knit and then tomorrow I’m going to wash and block the nerdiest vest I’ve ever made. #knitting

Finally got to break out my most favorite pair of sneakers. I got my first 2 pairs back in 2020 and now 5 years later I felt like I deserve a fresh pair. #CommonProjects

This game reminds me of when I was a little girl living in the middle of the forest. The jacks were plastic and different colored. Had to stop knitting to play a round or two. 🥰
