There is also rice and shrimp--not pictured.
Most importantly, there are sweet potatoes. (4 left.)
I likely won't be able to recreate this meal, but it is delish. Cajun inspired.
Soups were the answer.

This is the project I knit before bed.
No gauge swatch. I am too far in to give up even tho I can see the train wreck in progress.
I won't even get into how many times I messed up the cables.
But!! This is a yrn busting project. I have two skeins of each color. No fears or yrn chicken yet.

I feel vindicated. Shoutout to my psychiatrist who agreed with me that a bitch is in menopause. She ordered the test, not my GYN.
Gonna shove these numbers in my GYN's face.

For the past year, I have wanted a crochet stitch that looks like knitting cables. After doing this sample, I have changed my mind. If I want cables, I'll just knit them.
This was too hard. Pass.

1. The greeters in traditional Serbian garb. 2. I honestly thought they were playing music on a stereo. It was so crisp,clear, and CONFIDENT. This was the shot of him and me making eye contact and smiling at each other.
3. What the food lacked in volume, it made up in flavor. Contd.

After 7 to 8 months of zero knitting, I decided to frog the raglan I was making last year and do a cabled sweater.
Do I hate my life? Apparently.
The sweater in question. I am using the odds and ends (and some skeins) of yarns I had from leftover projects.

I am just going to say this and leave it alone.
It is very easy to become radicalized when you live in a world in which you feel the only options are extreme.
I say this as someone who understands just how docile the masses can be if you give them XYZ.

It is an 1hr and 30 mins before I go to bed.
Time to do a smooth brain activity.
It's starting to look like something. I regret the color choices for the skull, but it is too late to go back now. (And I am still yarn busting my single skeins and/or scraps.)

I went so far down the photo album hole I found myself as a 4-month fetus. Think it's time to wrap it up.
Yes. My parents. And me, hidden behind the table.

For months I have been trying to talk myself out of chopping off my hair. The last time I did, I was convinced I was ugly, and it did nothing good for me.
I fell down a photo album rabbit hole. Found this in 2008/9.
Hindsight is 20/20. I was an absolute fox with short hair. :goes to find scissors:

Hands down--pun intended--these are my favorite rings. As in, that I have ever owned.
I feel like they tell you everything you need to know about me.
And isn't that the point of fashion?*

Since I learned my lesson yesterday (sort of), today I have to do the maths to turn this into a cardigan.
Anyway, today's Cozy 'Weens project. I figured Gary needed a family reunion with Mary n 'em.
