Progress of blue/tan knitted yoke sweater.
Sunday #knitting progress on "Antique Filigree" yoke sweater by Rachel Illsley in Rosa Pomar Modim. Started on Sept 1.
Getting a little nervous about what I have left of contrast color heading into sleeve work. Confirmed LYS still has in stock if need to buy another skein. Phew. #YarnChicken
Partially finished hand knit sweater with blue and gold pattern.
I made some #knitting progress while on vacation in Canada last week. This is my Antique Filigree by Rachel Illsey in Rosa Pomar Mondim fingering weight wool. Love it so far.
You know your vacation is officially over when all the snoozed emails and Slack messages come back in a flood.

My penguin sweater for hubby is done! #knitting
Here is yoke after blocking. I decided to do ladderback jacquard stranded technique for very first time instead of catching floats for long stretches of black behind white.
Watched a bunch of YouTube videos to learn. Very happy with results!
Nearly finished knitted sweater in multiple colors featuring a yoke of penguins.
Progress on the penguins. Fun pattern. Should finish it in the next few days. I noticed a slight mistake I made in the placement of the snowflakes above the penguins. They're just a bit to the left when they should be centered. Oh well, the recipient (my hubby) is to the left too. :-) #Knitting
In progress knitting of a sweater with penguins.
What’s better than knitting a yoke sweater for your hubby? Knitting a yoke sweater for your hubby with penguins!
I updated my phone to iOS26 public beta for one reason: screening unknown callers and filtering texts. I had been using Aura before. So far, the native features do not disappoint.

Anyone who already recertifies annually for Medicaid with work requirements (yes, it’s a thing) knows it’s a ridiculous joke in big,horrid bill that everyone entitled will have to do it, and more often.
With no increase in staff or technology in these offices, it’s insane. People will be hurt.
I wonder how much profit Quest Diagnostics makes from those who blindly pay small amounts and don't double check claims?
My kid is dual special needs. $0 copay for routine labs. Quest invoices $10-20 every single time. I fight it and win after I call them and raise heck every time. It's tiring.

The cowl is from Loop in Philly as the free crawl pattern and was not published.
Good point. I typically do alt text but hit post too quickly this time. Thanks for the reminder.
It was fun finishing some small #knit projects in the last couple of weeks to give coworkers gifts while I was onsite with them last week. 2 of 3 of these were made with yarn I got at the #PhillyYarnCrawl a few weeks ago. 🧶
"Experts attribute the jump in autism prevalence to better awareness, improved screening tools and methods and changes in the diagnostic criteria." Bingo.

Handmaid’s Tale, Hacks, and Black Mirror are all starting new seasons next week.
The world as we fear it is, the world as we wish it was, and the world as it could be.
Can’t wait for a few weeks of appointment television to break up the evening doom scrolling.
I'm one of those millions who read the entire Atlantic post in the last hour and shouted out those exact 3 words.
Ooh good idea. I’ll download it now. Thanks! I’ve donated as often as I could as I know how important it is with my blood type, but not since my clot.
Last ep of The Pitt reminded me I need to donate blood. I’m O neg. I made appt this week.
Challenge is I’m on 10mg Eliquis/day indefinitely due to DVT/PE a few years ago. I don’t have excessive bleeding or bruising when I get labs.
Will they turn me away? Red Cross website is unclear.
I’ll never fully understand why those trying to protect their generational wealth seem to have more civil rights in this country than those struggling against their generational poverty.
I very rarely turn on audio when I'm doom-scrolling. But I had to hear this one.
I live in a community of senior citizens. When you say "kitchen table issues" THIS is what my neighbors are talking about. There is no way no how ANY of them would shrug off getting their monthly deposit they EARNED.
We did it!
2 days. 18 LYS. #PhillyYarnCrawl
I only bought #yarn in 7 of them, which I take as a victory and a sign of my personal strength and willpower. 🧶
Or it’s an indicator of the shit Trump economy and lack of stash space in my new apartment.
It’s that time of year again!
18 LYS visits in 2 days. Challenge accepted.
I’m spending the weekend supporting local small businesses. Yeah that’s the reason, sure. 🧶 #PhillyYarnCrawl #Knitting
Green hand dyed knitting sweater cardigan laying on a carpet.
My “Book Club Cardigan” by Sari Nordlund is done and waiting for perfect buttons.
Lots of fun details. Can’t wait until it dries. The yarn is NFC Organic Studio Worsted.
Now finishing a pair of socks while I wait for Philly Yarn Crawl next weekend. :-) 🧶

This is a President and Administration that blames its own citizens for the crime of being who they are.
So today's news of blaming the attacked instead of the attacker makes me furious.
It makes me sad.
It doesn't surprise me one bit.
They voted for this. Remind them.
Love this show. Happy to read it’s coming back for another season. www.esquire.com/entertainmen...
A severance package does not replace the need for compassion, direct and clear communication, and treating humans whose lives are turned over with dignity and respect.
Especially when you're a billionaire not leaving a dollar of your own compensation on the table for others.
