Treated myself to one of the few non-wool beauties at today’s Hamilton Fibre Market @ Cotton Factory. Black to orange gradient named “I Choose the Bear.” Hell yes I do! Dyer is Stitch Noir 🖤Alpaca/linen(!!)/silk - great for someone who overheats easily (me).
What shawl should I knit?

Wonder why the vein doc didn't use vetwrap in the first place? $$$? I'd pay for it. Glad I had at least one roll in the house for this.

In 2021, I got my ADHD diagnosis. Last week, I got that diagnosis updated through formal evaluation. I'm actually AuDHD. Though honestly, there are key Autistic traits that I absolutely have, and they're all laid out on the right side of the graphic below.

This is why you wash/dry your swatches to get gauge.
No change in width. Tons of change in length. 🧶

Here’s the swatch after washing/drying. No change in width but enough change in length to require a 1.2 multiplier to each length measurement.
Fyi, I count total swatch stitch width and rows because a 4” measurement wouldn’t be representative with this stitch pattern. 🧶

So I'm starting a new sweater, and asked for recommendations here (see my previous post).
@arjayne.bsky.social suggested I use Ann Budd's *the knitter's handy book of sweater patterns*. UM, yeah. Bingo!

We got one of those Thermacell mosquito dealies and as a result, I got bitten only a little. I knit and knit and then came home and finished my Bongo.

We're back and it was GOOD. I floated 50 feet from a loon in the middle of the day. A fish of some description (bass?) tried to nibble my ankle bracelet off cause sparkly. Sky got to roam the hills and chase everything that moved. Hub read and chilled. I rediscovered my Kobo and read, too.

For the first time ever, we are featuring a SURPRISE pattern on the cover. That beautiful brown and white tank by Amy Gunderson with the sexy deep back - or front! - called Bongo (after the brown and white striped Bongo Antelope) will come in mid-July, along with the rest of the SURPRISE patterns. 🧶

So good, we had her in twice! Another @harviekate creation and this one has a mission.
There seems to be an abiding belief in the knitting community that brioche is a completely different kind of knitting to "ordinary" knitting and requires special training and terminology. 🧶
