The crows are leaving their old feathers as they prepare for the coming darkness. I live amongst a local murder and am blessed by their example of community, innovative adaptability, humor, curiosity, and glossy beauty.

We all need a place where we feel safe… Goodnight everybody. Sweet dreams.

This is a reminder to find simple joys to replenish yourself. Happy Juneteenth. May we stand for justice, make reparations, and remember where we’ve been in order to create something better.

I finally got this knitting project off the needles - it’s a reversible cowl made as one big tube w/ pearl rows for where the fabric folds to the other side - I wanted a clean edge with no ribbing. I used a kitchner stitch to join the two open ends together. I’m happy with how this came out!

Dear Diary, Vignettes from my weekend. After a nice walk, I made a delicious chicken, bean, green chile soup with lots of garlic. Finally folded my clothes. Sundays are for getting my shit together. #sundaychores #springblossoms #laundry

W.I.P. I’m making a reversible cowl out of this incredibly soft, hand dyed merino. One side will be striped and the other will be a solid marine blue. Also: please appreciate my coordinating manicure 💛 #wip #knitting #manicure #yellow #nails

WIP - this is a fun chevron-esque fair isle pattern. It was my first time steeking (first photo shows the steek section). I’m making a neck cowl with a button placket. Lots of mistakes but I’m pretty in love with the color and pattern. #knitting #WIP

Saturday optimism infusion. It’s 54°F and the days are noticeably longer. This is a garden status update-close up edition.
