I thought I’d be doing meaningful policy work tonight, but I’m just gritting my teeth and waiting for Gov delivery to upload photos for an enewsletter. Busy work at 9:53 pm!!!

Husband going to store: “do you want something?”
Me: “chocolate cake.”
Him: “what if they don’t have chocolate cake?”
Me: “chocolate cake.”
Him: “what is the back up to chocolate cake?”
Me: “the back up is look harder”
Me: “chocolate cake.”
Him: “what if they don’t have chocolate cake?”

Really not getting any of the bluesky references today and I refuse to read the articles that would make it make sense

Couldn't remember Jon Hamm's name or the name of his character. So I made a discovery

*deep, deep breath” Houston, we have a problem. My wheels are too big for the train I crocheted. I’ve already sewn the white threads into the wheels so undoing them and re-doing them is gonna be a nightmare. I think I actually made the blanket a bit small, because I probably measured the wheels 😬😅🫠

Week 5 (& week 5 part 2 since they missed some stuff the first time) of the Sirdar Christmas crochet along done! My kids did get some mess on the blanket tho, so I’ve run it through the wash. Seems to have held up fine? One week to go!

For #crochetaway this week, one day I’d love to make a mosaic labyrinth blanket. It would be such an endeavor, but I love how these look.

Finally finished the long red & white + green loop border on this Christmas blanket. Ya know, other than sewing in approximately one billion edges.

I could have got 9/9 if I was bolder with John Turturro, I literally just watched all his Coens I should have had this one. (Once I flubbed it I got lazy with Viola).

I like this border pattern, too. It’s a moss stitch pattern with double (treble) stitches instead of single (double), alternating colors every other row. There will be more bits on this border I have to do next, but I l don’t think I’ll like those stitches as much 😅

I really can’t do NaNoWriMo and a giant November crochet along project at the same time, it is both too much pressure and not working out.
I mean, I’m not quitting either, but this was a bad idea and I’m hella stressed over it 😅

Week 4 of the Sirdar Christmas crochet along complete! The actual work was really fun, but sewing all the edges of the toys was a slog while my kids crawled all over me and bickered over everything. At least they paused long enough to excitedly name everything I put on the train!

I really want to get my daughter kpop demon hunter dolls for the holidays, but they kind of don’t exist, which prompts the question… do I think I could crochet these in time?

Teddy bear tangle. So many edges to sew in! Hoping I can get through all of week 4 in my crochet along, hoping this is the worst of the toy designs so the rest goes smooth.

My daughter asked me how many species of spiders there are in the world.
Girl, I’m not googling that.

I want to do fun stuff but I need to weave in dozens of edges first and that’s fine. FINE.

I really like this pattern that the crochet along is having me use on the edges, I want to do an ugly Xmas sweater for me with the zig zag pattern up the entire arms

Robyn loves his cat Costco membership. I was googling these yesterday, and apparently Walmart sells them for like $40, which is way too much, but Costco has it for less than $20, which is definitely the right amount for a little silly fun.
