I’ve gotten thru the more white dominant (versus blue green pigment dominant) ball of yarn, and now on the first ball of the more pigmented parts of the original skeins. I cut up and joined from white dominant sections to gradually more pigmented so I could have an ombre effect. Will post progress

I think the size of needles I was using made me hyperextend my thumbs and pointer fingers more than I should. So I switched back to US size 6 needles. Less movement in general than the bigger needles. I am getting somewhere going slower and with smaller needles! Huzzah!

The stockinette helps

After days of fucking up the linen stitch when I’d previously made a swath about 4-5” in depth, I forced myself to slow down so as to be intentional and not trying to speed my way thru the process. After all, I’m still a beginner. It’s like I’m a toddler trying to run before I can even walk.

Been snipping and sorting about 4 skeins of this yarn into bobbins by amount of pigment. Pausing the winding and joining, and sewing garlands of the categories together for easy visual sorting and practicality. Can just rip em off as needed.

The bobbins are made of cheap thin index cards.

The swatch I’ve been experimenting with has no pattern, but inspired by this knit top pattern called Rumble Raglan by Lydia Morrow (can be found on Ribblr). I didn’t align the stripes at all like her design, wanted to try something different.

Someday, when I can make knit garments, I’m making this

I’ve practiced (simple K+P) knitting for weeks and suddenly am a *moves hair behind my ear* colorwork wizard?!?

Not quite, but I slowed my roll, tried my best to pay attn. Still some mess ups, but I like it. Now to decide: keep going to make scarf, cast off to make wall hanging, or 2x for sleeves?

After FOUR vet visits last week for my cat (included medications and a new fluid IV bag & needles for home), I’ve overdrafted my bank account.

Please share widely!

Can anyone spare $40? $30?

Got back from the vet and my cat had IV fluids and sub q injection of anti nausea med. Supposed to give her a small dose of Miralax in the next 24 hours if no BM tonight. Bill came to $302 and change.

Can anyone spare some $ to help repay my dad for the bill until partial reimburse fm pet ins.? TY!

I messed up on the last swatch in the above post, like twice. I attempted to make wee arches in the last section of this swatch. I didn’t pay close enough attn. so I messed up most of them. I was successful for like 2-3 of em. Again, no pattern or knowledge, just experimenting. 🤓

Tried to make a sort of glitched checkered look without a pattern or knowledge, and accidentally did a sort of houndstooth instead lol. I only have knit and purl down, and only know how to do the basket weave stitch. Got bored w basket weave, so I did checkers. This makes my brain go burrrrrrr

I also may have made the mistake of drinking double strength chai before working on my laptop. Heart is RACING. Still gonna try to nap b4 my cat’s dinnertime though.

Here is my little peepee-pawed asshole for your cat fix needs. Love her, but she is 1000% cat now, incl. knocking shit down 24/7 🫩😵‍💫

I look absolutely ridiculous in men’s bball shorts and lacy fishnet tights. Laundry day, innit?

Anyone wanna send $$ for movers fees when I eventually have to move back in with family until I’m employed again? 👀 Don’t have any strong relatives ava. to help on moving days, my pops is old. 🙏🏼

there she is, the skinny legend herself, enjoying a steam facial courtesy of my dishwasher.

I am trying to feed her more often thru the day (fast eater) but I’m sure she’s still only 5 lbs. 🙂‍↕️😩🥹 She’s 5 & will be 6 in October.

Back at vet hospital not just for free suture check, but also getting to root of issue with my cat’s “targeted peeing” (vet’s terms) on my couch and kitchen counters, plus ON and IN my toaster (unplugged).

Please b00$t!
