Currently stitching:
Strawberry Mice from TormalinePattern (Etsy)
On 16pt black Aida
Destined for 6" hoop because it's a Christmas gift for my mom and a few years ago I gave her a hoop frame for her kitchen so she can switch out designs.

#Wip Wednesday, fade is happening!

These two yarns are actually slightly different weights, the dark is worsted while the colorful is DK. this has definitely led to differences in stitch density and “squish factor.” But i love the colors too much to care 😂

National parks have SO MANY people from other countries (since they get real vacations!)

And they spend a lot of money on hotels, food, souvenirs, etc.

This is unbelievably dumb, it will destroy entire tourist towns

A man (30s?) slaps his head and says to two young humans (5 & 8?): "Oh no! If we go home now while the sun's still out we'll pass the beach. And then we'll have to stop and have a swim." He shakes his head tragically. "Reakon you can handle that?"
Young Humans are rather insistent that they can. (5)

A woman approaches a crepe truck with a bright smile.
She says: "Bonjour Madame, ça va?" with a kiwi accent. The vendor pauses, looks up in surprise and grins widely. "Ohh? Bonjour!"
Suddenly a flurry of French is flying back and forward.

A tiny human (1?) is being rolled along, looking around at the crowd with an unsure expression. But it's okay. She's got teddy clutched to her chest. Sucking teddy's paw, because that's what friends are for. (3)

Two barefoot small humans (3 & 4?) are both straddling branches of a very big leafy tree, legs dangling nonchalantly as they watch the world go by.
Mum hands them each a slice of pizza and they accept benevolently.

🧵Spotted at a Christmas Market in Aotearoa New Zealand:

A tiny human is aghast at Mum's suggestion that she needs a nap.
Shaking her head vehemently, she roars: "I'm NOT sleepy!"
Mum sighs, agreeing that she is indeed not looking tired.
Tiny Human is indignant. "But I AM Mum! I'm VERY SLEEPY!" (1)

On this day in 1792, Sarah Grimké was born. Her father was a wealthy slaveholder but she became an abolitionist & woman’s rights pioneer. Her Letters on the Equality of the Sexes and the Condition of Women (1838) was one of the first woman’s rights pamphlets published in the United States. #WeTheMen

Ordering books for Christmas?

Consider buying them from an independent bookstore. Might I suggest Nooks? It’s owned by two writers in Lancaster, PA (Shawn and Maile) and they're WONDERFUL. Free shipping over $35 and they can order any book you want if they don’t have it.

Spending the day meeting with undergrads in 20 minute Zoom intervals to discuss the rough drafts of their 20-page research papers, which I line-edited.

They’ll be better writers and historians when they leave my class. I’m proud of them.

I’m also pooped.

It's #WIPWednesday again. I'm about halfway through what will be a zippered notions bag. It's starting to feel more natural to knit with two yarns. I've chosen patterns with longer floats this time. #knitsky
