Went out in the cold to catch Dynamax Articuno with fellow Pokémon Go players. We beat two, but only one consented to coming home with me.

Finished!
Two knitted bunny buddy blankets: small movies with diamond shaped bodies, knotted hands, stuffed heads, simple scarves, and long, curled ears. One is yellow with a brown scarf. The other is lavender with a purple scarf.

Working on a couple of bunny blanket buddies for upcoming baby showers. The lavender one just needs stuffing and a face. The yellow one has a ways to go. But they only take a few days to make.

I love Murderbot! Have you read Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie?

We're getting there. Just a couple more rounds on the lower body and then ribbing. I'm counting on this getting longer when I block it.
A knitted sweater on a green couch cushion. The sweater is brown at the neck and shoulders and then transitions to lighter browns down the body. The pattern alternates between garter rows and eyelet lace. The bottom edge is still on knitting needles.

A beautiful day for catching Gigantamax Pokémon! Thanks, fellow trainers!

Just finished reading Yusuf Azeem is Not a Hero by Saadia Faruqi. Moving story of a Muslim boy dealing with bullying and discrimination because of his religion set around the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Plus robotics!

Awww...it's my boy Pikachu! And my little Eevee (and Frumpkin) are excited to see the Eevee balloon.
A TV shows the Pikachu balloon with green scarf riding a pokeball sleigh(?) with Eevee balloon. In the foreground, a crocheted Eevee and stuffed Frumpkin sit on the TV stand. Same scene, but a view of the balloon from above.

Let's have a parade!
Dancers wear orange and brown, leafy costumes as they dance in front of the Tom Turkey float which is obscured by confetti. A TV screen shows a lot of confetti obscuring the Tom Turkey float. A TV shows a clear shot of Tom Turkey in front of the Macy's sign.

Can you see how much lotion is left in this bottle? Our solution is to cut the bottle in half and use a temporary cover. (I didn't know I was going to be posting lifehacks on here...)
Two halves of a Gold Bond lotion bottle that has been cut in half. A significant amount of lotion remains in the bottom half. The useless pump lies between the two halves.
