i’ve been working on this #SoSummer shirt for longer than i’d like to admit. last night i finally seamed the shoulders+ wove in ends. i stretched a few stitches when picking up for the collar but i’m assuming i can strategically weave in ends + block. sometimes you just need to MOVE ON, yknow?

for posterity, here is a list of all the books i’ve read this year. i don’t use any book apps but i do keep a list in my notes app:

1. sarah polley - run towards the danger
2. susan stryker - transgender history
3. ivan coyote - tomboy survival guide
4. john darnielle - universal harvester

i think about this building in east hamilton a lot

realized i didn’t have any mittens so i made some real fast

pattern: #WorldsSimplestMittens
yarn: lamb’s pride worsted (got from buy nothing)

current read: BACK IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING by eva crocker. i love a book that captures a moment of time in a person’s life- this one feels particularly vivid to me bc i am also a millennial canadian queer who moved to montreal at one point.

microdosing dissociating by forgetting to take my meds for a couple of days

been pulling myself up by my bootstraps lately, did ya know it’s really hard?

one of the greatest joys of 2024 has been starting to host fibre events. every time i’m sitting in a group that’s equal parts 55+ year old ladies and queers i feel like i’ve found my people.

my other current WIP: the #MusselburghHat by ysolda teague.

this is my project for when my brain isn’t fully on but my hands need to be moving. ex: sitting around in the morning drinking coffee, watching TV, or when i accidentally eat too much of a weed edible.

current read: “moon of the turning leaves” by waubgeshig rice @waub.bsky.social. thrilling, haunting, can’t put it down.

current WIP: the #FrameYourFace cowl by andrea mowry. this is my first all-over colourwork project. don’t talk to me about my tension or my floats, ok? ok.

beep beep comin thru on a new app? there’s no part of me that needs more social media in my life but here i am anyway. anyway, i like books and knitting and being trans. what’s up?
