Last week I found my place again in a temperature shawl/scarflet pattern I started at the beginning of 2024. Maybe I'll have it done by 2026!
Traveler's Shawl by Andrea Mowry, which I'm treating as a temperature project in fingering weight. This is an irregular triangle of purl and knit rows in alternate waves, with each color representing five degrees of temperature, except for white, which is everything under 30 degrees. The vast majority so far is white, blue, green, purple, or yellow, and this shows until mid-May. Colors will get brighter as I get into summer months.

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.
Chase Crawford, Blake lady, Ed whatshisbucket, Leighton Meester, Penn Badgley, and Taylor Momsen on a pillared wall with the New York City skyline behind them and a park (the park?) stretched between.

Recently bought this little beauty on account of the backlight died on my 256G Classic iPod (which I bought the day they announced it was being discontinued), and I don't want to give money to Spotify anymore. And it has both bluetooth and jack!
Black SnowSky Echo Mini digital audio player, which looks like a classic walkman but so tiny it fits in my small hand.

Okay, starting to feel the rust shake off a bit.

She is, undoubtedly, the sexiest craft I do.
Tabletop view of a pile of paper signatures, next to a utility knife, an L-ruler, and a bone folder. In the back are a couple of stacks of pre-assembled signatures with coordinating bookboards cut to size.

It's fall, so I'm doing some bookbinding.

Can't find my combination lock, so I have been using one with a key when I go to the pool. Don't have one of those convenient stretch-spiral keychains, but I *do* have one of those "no tangle" spiral hairties.

Evolution has come full-circle.

A little bit of Visible Mending for this evening, fixing up one of my favorite book totes that had a tear in the bottom:
Black totebook from NOVL that shows two books stacked in pink and white ink and the phrase "Booked All Week." In bold white letters. On the bottom right-hand edge is a red and white patch sewn down. Close-up of the red-and-white patch under the NOVL pink and white logo and white printing that reads thenovl.com Before pic of the ripped seam.

Maizy was being stupidly photogenically cute this morning, please enjoy.

No turtles from me lately, but I did meet an auspicious gentleman duck the other day.

I am a simple girl with simple needs.
Picture of a woman's small hand holding a vibrant green and red strawberry matcha drink, atop of which sit two small cups of cake samples, one chocolate, one vanilla with a hint of more red (also strawberry). In her hand is also a brown paper bag that looks suspiciously like it holds pastries (it does). Taken with a good degree of foreshortening in full sun, parking lot in background.

Plot twist! It was actually a set of four, and now I vaguely remember that moment of "you shouldn't put that there" that I get before I put something somewhere I definitely won't remember it.

So. Yeah. At least I found photographic evidence of its existence.
A picture of a knitting bag featuring a witchy Polly Pocket illustration with yarn and glass case peeking out, some blue light glasses with floral frames, and a pile of notebooks on top of a charger, the top one being the missing Star Wars notebook, featuring a Jeffrey Brown illustration of Chewbacca helping a kid-sized Han Solo reach a book from the top shelf of a bookcase, on a green background.

Post from @TheRealRynnstar that reads: Forever wondering if I'm truly far left or if I'm just an empathetic person living in a late capitalist hellscape where I get called a commie for saying, "hey maybe poor people don't deserve to starve [shrug emoticon]"

I'm not saying this thrifted jacket is about to become my entire personality, except I also am saying exactly that and you're welcome.
