I love how kettle dyed yarn stitches look lined up in a row. The way the colors stack and shift makes me happy. The yarn was a gift from my friend Noelle from Northern Ireland, the dyer is called IAY.

EEEEEE! It's HERE! This is the author proof to make sure the cover looks good and the formatting and layout inside is correct. But STILL! I love how the cover I designed came out! OMG. I never, ever thought I'd be here today. Teenage me is losing her SHIT right now. 🤯 I keep shrieking. #writing

Fleece to Shawl is about to start! Our theme is pirates. I'll have you know the only thing I had to buy was the hat, the head scarf, and the necklace. People keep complimenting my costume and I'm like, DUDE, these are my clothes. 😳

Happy anniversary, @hunterrose.bsky.social! 19 yrs ago I married my best friend, my Nerd in Shining Minivan. It's been 21 yrs together, and 29 yrs since our first kiss.

I love you, Husbeast, and I hope you're the end of my story. 💗

Yarn chicken, baby! 9 rows to go. Will I make it? We shall see. Also, I have discovered I can read and knit at the same time, just like with spinning at my wheel. Woo! Yes, I'm easily amused.

(I have a whole other ball, but I'll be pissed if I have to hit it for just 2 rows or whatever.) #knitting

I had to drive over (like passing over) this little dude just a few houses down from ours, but turned around and raced back to save him because our road is a race course. The odds he wouldn't get flattened were slim. I'm thrilled I got to save a turtle this year. They make my heart happy.

I want to sing this to @hunterrose.bsky.social for our 20th wedding anniversary next year, if we have some sort of party. #pistolannies

This is at the top of my bucket list travel destinations! When I tell people about it they're baffled/weirded out, but I don't care. I will see the Sedlec Ossuary before I die. Gods, I hope they have a gift shop, too. 💀🖤💀
Work in progress of the Sedlec Ossuary in VR. We hope it will give access and education beyond the monument itself, and inspire more people to visit the Sedlec Ossuary in person.

💀 Mailing list, art prints, and more! 💀

Reaching one of my favorite love stories with @hunterrose.bsky.social on anticipation of the new release coming soon. Ed & Lorraine - nearly as perfect as Morticia & Gomez. 😍

Ladies, gents, and everyone in between... I AM SEEING NINE INCH NAILS IN CONCERT TONIGHT! NIN has been one of my favorite groups for over 30 years. Pretty Hate Machine in my top 5 albums of all time for me. I've got my tank, my Docs, and friends to share it with. #nin

This guy (💗) has been taking care of me today while I'm not feeling my best. But, since our plans for today got mis-scheduled, we at least got to walk around the village a bit before I needed to go home.

Pros start the second sock right away. When the brain weasels are particularly evil, every small win helps. #knitting

How cool is this? 😮
Playlist Dungeon, my 1-page "songcrawl" game where you build characters and dungeons from your favorite songs, is out in the wild, with an accompanying jam ("Revenge of the Mixtape") & intro adventure ("Last Chamber")

I just got told that I sing like Natalie Merchant. 😮 I'll take it, that's very kind. Karaoke makes me happy even without the compliment, but it's still nice to hear it.

That's our little Miss Cassie (Castiel) and she is full of piss and vinegar.
Some morning attitude for y'all

NEXT LEVEL BURN... As a NYer, I *wish* I could vote for him but I live upstate. You and your team are killin' it. 😄
Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.

But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.

See you soon, NYC.

Oh, right... Knitting socks is a thing I used to do a lot. I love how this yarn is working up. I desperately needed a simple travel project, so here we go.

Luci Lights in the Carnelian color way by Louisa Harding. Deep Arash, originally bought at WEBS.

I don't drink coffee, but I'm feeling seen. If you know, you know.

Mmm... And a speed reader, and a poor sleeper. Looking to beat last year's personal best Goodreads challenge tally of 360 books, and I'm at 234 so far, not counting the novellas I tend not to track.

I fucking LOVE it. I went from hair down to my waist to this. I had a bob 6 years ago, but it was the sleek, no-layers kind. This time she gave me layers. Even with a blow out my curls want to play now that they're not weighed down. Tomorrow I'll see what it looks like properly straightened.
