Yesterday it was in the 60s, and I read a book at a coffee shop on the river. Today it was on the 20s, and Bella got to frolic in the snow. Find joy in the weather of the day, I guess?

I usually avoid taking home swag from conferences but… I got to play the claw machine game to win this @motherduck.com duck at Coalesce and I knew exactly who would appreciate me bringing home stuffies.

We’ve arrived back home safe and sound.
The post-conference come-down has begun as my natural introvert self once again returns to the fore and my conference-exclusive extrovert self pulls an Irish goodbye… and as always my introvert self is left mortified and terrified of the extrovert self. Halp

I completely forgot to take pictures and live post my way through Coalesce yesterday, but this morning I caught @data.potato.engineer and @bennstancil.bsky.social’s talks, which were both purely excellent

So psyched to see this talk come to life (I was working with them earlier this year!)

@matsonj.com is braving the perils of a live demo of the “duck stack” on stage - beyond impressive! 5 mins to get a duck lake up and running locally via a dbt project

This was the very close runner up (I took forever to decide and I’m still wondering if I should’ve just gotten both and decided later):

I went back to the yarn shop next to the sheep farm to find a skein of yarn to pair with one I bought at Cannon Beach (and the colorway is called Cannon Beach!) a few years back. The lovely ladies there were very excited to help me find a match. Here is what I landed on: (new yarn on the left)

Knitting update: this shawl is finished and on its (very belated) way to my friend who got married… a whole year+ ago 😅
Ends woven in Saturday, blocked Sunday night, unpinned Monday night, and in the mail by Tuesday.
So very happy it is finally done 😁

Finally casting off this shawl over a year late! Picot bind offs take forever, but they are pretty and easier to block.
I swear this hammock swing is the most ergonomic way to knit, and it’s so peaceful with a gentle summer rain coming down.
