Puppy Momma has been making pup's Christmas costume. She seems to be patient with the process.

This Entlebucher Mountain dog is wearing a red tutu and a necklace of green and red dangly bits. The pup is smiling.

It was one of the most psychedelic, bizarre and beloved Canadian children's shows ever made.
Structured like a sketch comedy show around the comedic genius of Billy Van, it is well remembered even to this day.
This is the story of The Hilarious House of Frightenstein!

A colorful poster for "The Frightenstein Frightmare," featuring a collage of various monster and character faces, including a prominent green-faced figure with fangs, a werewolf, a Frankenstein-like figure, a superhero, and other eerie and whimsical characters, with the title in bold yellow and red text at the bottom.

CORRECTION.

The UCP has not banned just over 100 books from Edmonton Schools.

If this list is accurate, they have banned over 200.

Here is the list we have been provided.

This beautiful sporty pup is travelling across Canada with her favourite human. As secondary human, I get pics every day! Today she's in Montreal.

Unsupervised GenX. I'm looking to hang out with GenX people of any gender, who know what I'm talking about when I make an obscure 80s reference. Bonus if you can sing Ballroom Blitz or equivalent. If you were a feral child, drank from the hose, stopped crying before mom gystca, DM!

See more of what's up in Calgary with less of the doom. Some days, looking at everything related to Calgary is a complete doomscroll. I'll update it when I see too many posts that mess with my zen-like serenity.

Gah. Made this mess trying to find the inside thread of the ball. How could I go so far off track? I pulled the innards out of the ball and spent so long unraveling the massive knot. There are still entrails spilling out of the ball. Need a machine to spool yarn onto bobbins.
#yycknitting #knitting
A mess. Just a sad yarn mess. A pair of socks are waiting to be worked on a pair of circular needles. A grey 8 ply yarn is strewn across the ottoman, partly unraveled but still with an ugly knot coming from inside the ball.

This is the best patio in southern Alberta today! And the worst sandal tan.
#Calgary #yyc #patio #guitar
An outbuilding in an acreage yard. The building is a converted house shelter with vertical weathered barn wood siding that looks old west. There are two sets of swinging saloon doors and a kiosk window between them. There is a patio in front with a wood roof sitting on three posts. A sign above the roof reads "SALOON". An electric guitar, a Les Paul Junior with a chocolate finish. The player is my brother. The amp is a Fender Mustang GTX. All of these things sit on a wood patio. Am old steamer chest sits on a wooden deck. Upon the chest sit a rye and coke, and a watered down glass of rye. A pair of sandals sit on grass. Beside them, a pair of human feet sit on a wood patio. These feet have a perma sandal tan and are attached to pale legs.

My first pottery project since making an ashtray in grade five. I'm really happy with how it turned out. It's very hand-made, and I love the docent degrees of transparency in the white and blue glazes. Did this at 4Cats Inglewood Art Studio on their Hygge night.

That was fun. I'm so tired of seeing this colour pattern. Mistakes were made. But I'm happy with the results!

A pair of socks lying flat. The colour pattern repeats with dark speckled grey and shades of green. The socks are stocking stitch, except for the cuff which is 2x2 rib. German short row heal, gusset, toe up. Two socks on two feet, one left and one right. Patterned green and grey, mid calf, ribbed cuff, not yet blocked. The colour pattern is reversed from one stock to the next. Two incomplete green and grey patterned socks are cast onto two 100cm circular needles. Two at a time were knit from both ends of the ball of yarn in the photo. A plastic spool is used as a jig to keep the inside and outside yarn from tangling around the ball or twisting. A ball of Lang Yarns' Super SOXX Color 6 Ply. The sock pattern is called Train Soxx, in the Inca Rail colour scheme. The colours include bright lime green changing shade to grey green, and sections of black, grey, and white dashes.

These half finger gloves were a COVID project. Each finger was knitted on dpns. I wasn't paying attention when I bought the yarn. I just liked the colours. One long colour gradient, oops.
They've lasted well, and cleaned up nicely with some woolwash.

A pink human hand with a hairy wrist is wearing a glove, shown from the back. The glove has half fingers so that the fingertips are exposed. The gloves is charcoal grey at the fingers, then fades to sea blue, then yellow, light yellow-green, and finally charcoal grey at the wrist. There is a cable stitched medallion shape on the back of the glove. Two half-finger gloves sit flat on a table. The left glove colour varies from grey to blue, yellow, green, grey. The other glove is mostly dark grey with a lighter grey band and some blue on the thumb and a finger. Mistakes were made. The back of the glove show a cable stitch medallion shape. The cuffs are 1x1 ribbed.
