Ask and ye shall receive: City crew was taking down a tree next door and kept me from napping today so I went and asked them if I could have the wood chips. I have never seen four grown men look so confused in my life but they said yes. So no sleep, but free mulch!

Ollie turned up with tapeworms so we got to go to the vet today. He's treated and will be fine but he was pretty sad about the trip!

Cold day but the sky is beautiful!

First half of this spin complete! The silk content makes it look like watercolors.

Did a little bit of spinning this morning. A beautiful merino/silk braid from @republicaunicornia.bsky.social
The rhythmic repetition of spinning felt very soothing, I have a feeling I'll do a lot of it this year.

Hey wow we really let someone get terrifying levels of unauthorized control in our government this weekend.
Here's the sweater I'm knitting to keep from panicking. (Test knit #RelaxTee for @aimeeshermakes.bsky.social )

This test knit project is extremely pleasing.

I have too many to pick a favorite but I'm very fond of this one I made last year (the Marie in Paris wrap sweater)

2. My cat Kiri who hugs me and purrs every time I pick her up.

I made this mosaic knit sweater out of yarn I spun myself!

Not making a lot of knitting progress today because the cats are being distractingly cute.

Distracting myself from the state of the world by finally setting up my Reed Loom Co. Cambridge loom. I bought it 2 years ago and finally have space! Did I do it right? Who knows - if you have tips, I want them! #loom #weaving

Uninspiring picture of a VERY EXCITING delivery - my greenhouse is here! Now I just need to teach myself how to lay concrete for a foundation 😅

Very pleased we're having proper winter this year. I love snow.

Unwashed dishes and a cat where she isn't supposed to be, but the light was so pretty I had to capture it before I chased Rowan off the counter.
