Got a subscription to Peacock to watch the Olympics. Realized on Monday that they have the US broadcast rights to Le Tour de France as well so I’ve been catching up. Haven’t watched the tour from start to finish since Armstrong was still racing. Such a cool sport.

Haven’t posted for a while. Got food poisoning Friday night. Didn’t knit at all Saturday and not much on Sunday either. Yesterday was back to the work grind and I’m finally starting to feel like myself again today. Pic of Cake on her sleeping man-child for tax. #CakeTheCat

Watching Dr Who with my son Jake and he says, “In walks Chekhov. With his gun. “ This kid cracks me up. Also, he’s not wrong.

Only WiP I didn’t touch yesterday was #Squish so that’s what I’m focusing on today (after getting in a couple repeats on #Fifi). #Knitting 🧶

WiP 6 getting stitches today is this 2nd sock that I’ve been dragging my heels on…get it? Dragging my heels… I’ll see myself out now.
Only thing I haven’t picked up is Squish. Guess I should do that and make it a septfecta. #Knitting 🧶

Can we talk about the beauty of a heel flap? Any time I’m doing something fiber related (spinning, knitting, crochet, whatever) I’m amazed at the ingenuity and genius of all of our ancestors who figured out how to turn fleece and fibers into useful things. But especially when making a sock. 🧶🧦

Did a tried and true method for not making progress on any of the knitting projects already on the needles tonight. Cast on a new sock! But hey, don’t check gauge on the yarn you’ve never used before, make it too big, so you have to frog it completely and start again. I regret nothing. 🤣🧶🤣

Secured #Fifi by rolling her back up and skewed with the needle. Can’t decide if she’s more of a Swiss roll or a beef Wellington 😂. Played yarn chicken and lost so had to roll the 2nd skein of #Malabrigo English Rose. Time to finish knitting this section. 🧶 Cats Leo & Jazz for tax.

Both of my tabby boys and our tortie weigh in at 13 lbs. My giant orange floof is between 15-16. We call Prince Chunkster. Leo seems more predisposed to not getting chunky but he also runs around the house screaming all day long when he’s not debating cuddles with yarn.

Leo won’t touch my yarn or knitting without permission. But I know he loves my knitting. So I give him permission each night so he can get his fix. #Cats #Knitting 🧶🐈

Her common name is #Fifi for feather and fan. But as the pattern developed, so did her government name, Symphony in the Key of 3. And now I have to do 3 repeats/day because like everything I’ve designed lately she’s over the top. Can’t wait to see the final length. #Knitting #Lace 🧶 2/2

When I started this thing, it was simply an exploration of knitting feather & fan. I loved the combination of yarn and stitch so much I just had to keep going. It immediately became destined to be for me. My birthday is in Aug so initially I had to do 1 repeat/day. Then a plan took shape… 1/

In health related news, I randomly heard about buckwheat pillows and on a whim got one off Amazon. The 1st morning, my neck and shoulders weren’t just pain free, but felt really good for the 1st time in ages. Thought it might be a placebo effect, but the good feeling is still there 5 days later.

It’s taken a good 6 weeks to finally think I’m starting to get the hang of this new position. And then I grab a task this morning that is rebuilding a student loan that was originally disbursed in 1996. I fucking hate people.

I use my hand between the guiding loops of the winder and the skein to make sure it’s wound under tension. Then I push the folded up ball band in the center as I lift it off the winder. I’ve never had a problem with any fiber.

I had three things on my todo list today:
1. Rest my back (I left work early yesterday because it was flaring)
2. Get a shower
3. Wind the cotton yarn I got for D2 into center pull balls.
Accomplished everything!! We’re taking a road trip tomorrow to deliver the yarn & visit. Yay!! #Knitting 🧶
