Three tiny crochet bunnies on a blue quilt. The bunny on the left is yellow with both arms up, the middle bunny is light pink with both arms up, and the rabbit on the right is light pink and waving at you with his left arm. They are people-shaped rather than rabbit-shaped and have big square black embroidered eyes with off-white highlight around the outer edges and the inner top corner, a medium pink X-shaped nose and mouth, and white whiskers.

I made the bunnies last year, but they just got their faces today!

He's not blaming DEI, he's blaming women and non white people.

I have three more stripes before the toe on my sock! My second project right now is unraveling a sweater that doesn’t fit me anymore (I just reorganized my sweater drawer yesterday). I also did my run!

I had to get my car towed to the shop today, but I also got past the gusset on the last of my matching socks for me and my sister for when I go visit soon!

When someone who has known me for almost 25 years said they are surprised I didn’t notice something… like I’m sorry have we actually met?

Three complete socks (two teal with purple stripes and one purple with teal stripes) and one sock in progress (purple with teal stripes) next to an open teal pencil case I’m using as a project bag.

My poor little old car still had the original battery from 2010, no wonder it decided not to start this week!

Behold! The fastest mile I have run since I began running again (it’s the part after I stopped to tie my shoe)

A wooden kitchen table with blue placemats, with various bags (all labeled with a number one) and brick blocks spread out across the table. A person’s hands pressing blocks together, an instruction manual, and a coffee mug are visible.

My oldest got the most chaotic knock-off Lego set for Christmas and is working on it today. All the bags are labeled number one and they are all getting opened up at the same time. I’m helping her find the pieces she needs and not crying at all

anyway it's just extra sickening that on the day we should be commemorating one of the best people this country has ever produced, we are coronating a human avatar of the reason he's dead

Ah, lace. How I have not missed you. (I did start putting lifelines in after I fixed this mess)

A sock on double-pointed wooden knitting needles is on the left side of the photo. The toe is red and the foot is alternating sections of blue-gray and rainbow. On the right, the ball of yarn is in the foreground and the project bag in the background, a translucent silicone reusable sandwich bag with a ball of red yarn and a rolled-up sock and bamboo needles sticking out of the open top

I haven’t finished the first sock yet, but I’m almost at the heel of the second sock.

12 finished beanies and one in progress, laid out across a gray and a blue blocking mat.

Group shot of everything I’ve made since mid-July, when I decided I need to knit through all the partial balls of yarn left over from previous projects because my stash was overwhelming

This might be the last of my Knit Picks Stroll Bare, with one of the few unlabeled partial balls whose colorway I remember: Stroll Hand-Painted in Northern Lights!

These two are my favorites!

A beanie on bamboo needles on a navy blue woven blanket. The bottom 2.5” of the beanie is off-white, the rest of the beanie is dark purple with small sections of hot pink, lavender, and a lighter shade of purple throughout. The ball of yarn is in the upper right corner of the photo, partially covering a translucent silicone reusable sandwich bag with small purple scissors and a set of blue and green double pointed needles inside. Pink rainbow needle stoppers are on top of the bag.
