Today I nearly ordered my groceries through ubereats because I am recovering from illness. It would have cost about $160. I decided to go to the shop because the illness is not contagious. I got my veggies from the market which cost $30 including a fancy expensive juice, and filled an entire bag -

This was a very interesting talk,I am in awe of the quality and depth of some speeches.

I'm glad this platform for political action exists. It has taken a long time to get to this point. I wish we heard more from these diplomats in the media, there's some great speakers with humanitarian values.

On the topic of #knitting, i designed this beanie...sort of? i had to figure out the wavy 2*2 rib on my own as I couldnt find a pattern, and I incorporated bits from a few patterns for the beanie and the overall look.

It's currently blocking and i will give it to my dad on his birthday!

I'm absolutely in love with this icelandic knitting design. I cant find a pattern for it, but I've found one thats similar enough that I can modify! It's going to be my first time doing a yoke so i'm sure it will be challenging but fun
