Mabel the Merciless chose *this week* to ask me for a new sweater to wear to Rhinebeck. Actual footage of me trying to knock out a "poncho compromise" on the drive there 🤣🤣 see you in 1 hour Rhinebeck, with what will certainly be at least most of a poncho.

I took a mental health day and puttered around an antique shop with @jac_attacking where this Black Cat fortune telling game caught my eye and obviously it came home with me. It's full spooky season vibes for me!

Ya'll there's only TWELVE more days until this bad boy releases, and I AM IN IT! (Mitts, of course. I know you're all shocked. 😁)

I am so honored that @tanisknits has included @doctor_llama and I in her newest book: The Official Gilmore Girls Knitting Book!!!! It's available for preorder or you can ask your local yarn store to stock it.

Megan (doc_llama) already got her copy. Not that I'm jealous or anything. Soon though I'll get to show off our contributions. Hint: 🎩☂️

I need advice! ⁠
⁠
I saw this heathered green at @kelbournewoolens aptly called "Autumn Heather" and decided it was finally time to knit a pair of my #harvestmelodymitts for my step-mom. But now that I've gotten to the point where it's time to start the ribbing song and dance I'm thinking, would it be crazy if I turned these into mittens instead? I mean, I already added the option for a few of my patterns last year. Maybe I should do it for these too???⁠

It's 8:30am. Lunches have been packed, I'm 2 lattes deep in my day, Mabel the Merciless got to camp on time and I can sneak in 30 min of yoke knitting before acting like a grown up again. If you ignore the mess in my kitchen and that I'm still in pajamas, I'm ✨killing it✨ at adulting today. 🤣

The 4th of July is cancelled this year, on account

The 4th of July is cancelled this year, on account of the Supreme Court reinstating the monarchy.

And yet, summer camp remains and today the kids were encouraged to wear red white and blue so the lunch bag frog* should do the same. Supporting queer and trans rights is patriotic AF.

I have a summer camp tradition of elaborate lunch bag decorations for Mabel the Merciless. I can't do it year round - these bags are a time sink, albeit a really fun one - but for 8 weeks in the summer I go to town with colored pencils. Mabel is in a passionate "frog girl phase" so we are having frog girl summer themed bags. I trace the frogs out of coloring books for the most part and then embellish and color them. Pro tip: do a big batch of tracings on some weekend and then each week night you can just pick a bag to color.

Admittedly, didn't get a lot of knitting done on this vacation. Most of these rounds happened in that car on the way there and now on the way home 🤣

Get yourself a bestie that will drop everything at 10pm on a Monday to make some color charts so you can cast on during your trip on Tuesday, and not have to suffer the indignity of taking one of your many WIPs on vacation.

🥰Love you @jac_attacking 🥰

Real talk: I'm a steek cheater. Fusible interfacing and cheap bias tape ribbon take all the drama and stress out. So I went with a melodramatic song to keep the universe in balance.
