Squidward Tentacles, an anthropomorphic cartoon octopus sits hunched in a box. He dressed shabbily, with a patched jacket, bandages on his hands, and dirt on his unshaved face. He holds out a tin cup to passerbys asking for anything they can spare.

Begging Pokémon Pocket RNJesus for a little luck after two of my friends both get god packs in the same day minutes apart 😞

(If nothing else, I hope those show up in my Wonder Picks...)

I have plants now and I find them so confusing. Why are you sad today. You were fine yesterday. What is wrong. I don't speak plant.

(I was gifted several alocasia and told don't worry if you kill them but SURPRISE, I HAVE ANXIETY AND WILL WORRY ANYWAY-)

A photo of a Song Sparrow, a small brown and tan bird with a grey streak on it's crown. The bird has a small round seed in it's bill and is cracking it. It is on a grey green fence with a backdrop of cypress branches

There was a FRIEND!! A FRIEND ON MY PATIO!!!

It has been a long time since I lived somewhere that I would be able to invite birds closer. Over a decade in fact. I am so overjoyed to have the opportunity to put up feeders again.

Thank you! It's absolutely gorgeous here, and my partner has been living here a good while already; plus we have a greay community of friends who eagerly awaited my arrival. Still gotta job hunt, but after overcoming the drive here, surely that'll be easy! 😆😅

YESSSS. Unfortunately my boy is the reincarnation of the simple helper dog. We gave him some wonderful peanut butter treats every morning with Absolutely No Drugs In It 😂

I think those made the drive more bearable, god bless tranquilizers.

Oh my goodness what a handsome critter! Please give them some good pets on my behalf!

I have made landfall in Oregon at last! It is cool and green and...well...full of traffic.

Rook however is beside himself. We'll adapt and adjust....after we wait two weeks for my POD to get here 😅

A picture taken from the passenger seat of a car on the highway. A part of the white line and rumble strip on the asphalt is in view, followed by a long, flat strip of golden brown grass past a barbed wire fence. The land is open and wide, meeting a blue sky with wispy white clouds.

Kansas. Kansas WHERE THE HELL ARE YOUR TREES?!

A corner of a room with beige walls and carpet lit in a warm yellow from a tall area lamp. There is a stack of boxes and wood panels in the corner along with some backpacks. A small pallet of blankets and two pillows has been laid out where a couch once sat, the prints from the feet still dented into the carpet.

Okay the couch has been given to loving new family, I found a missing crochet hook and my slippers, and I have two days until my POD drops.

Progress is occurring slow and steady! I still would like to yell, but am being held together by my partner, bless him.

Gotta love being right on the cusp of a cross-country move and watching the gas prices tick up.

Using up the last of my PTO over the next few days annnd....I immediately fell sick. Guess I timed it well? 🫠

Again I say: knitters have got to be dark wizards 😆 designers even more so

But I also love Weird Construction that turns out wildly perfect so I'm adding that one to my list.

Socks go CRAZY. The first time I did a heel turn I was so shook. My first "What the fuck is happening- oH!! A GLOVE!!!" pattern was Kærlig by Ysolda Teague. Cuff then turn it and oh here's a thumb-

The Entertainer looks so cool!! Is that knit sideways?! 👀 That back construction is wild

a man in a suit and tie is saying it 's beautiful . Alt: a man in a suit and tie is saying "it's beautiful. I've looked at this for five hours now" as he looks up to stare into the camera

It really is! There's been patterns I've just felt like I'd been in a weird, confused fugue state working on, having no idea how this is supposed to resolve and then- ...my god look at that! A garment! In my hand!!! Out of loops!

It's gotta be witchcraft! (Stitchcraft?) 😆

It does! Video tutorials are one of the most patient tutors I've ever had which helps me so much. I just keep getting surprised by the sheer number of stitches, techniques, and ideas one can implement in work!

Every new pattern is an adventure, even years into this hobby!

requiem for vanished birdsong

A still photo of the character Plankton from SpongeBob Squarepants. He is standing on sand with a blue background. His hands are clasped in front of him while his single eye is wide, with a pinprick pupil. He appears very perturbed/stunned.

Watching a video to learn how to do mock cables and realizing...y'all I don't know how to do *shit* and knitters are just dark magicians because hOW DO PATTERNS KEEP PULLING NEW STUFF OUT OF THE WOODWORK-

Hawk is doing so good 🥺

Poor Suyan, she seems so nice.

A three panel comic of Mr. Manhattan on the surface of a barren planet. In the first panel the frame says: "It is 1990. I am a few months old. We are starting a dubious war in the Middle East." The second panel shows another frame of Mr. Manhattan standing on the planet alone: "It is 2003. I am 13 years old. We are starting a dubious war in the Middle East." The third panel shows Mr. Manhattan sitting alone on the planet, staring towards the reader, the stars flicker silently behind him. The frame reads: "It is 2026. I am 35 years old. We are starting a dubious war in the Middle East."

Shout out to this meme which while I wasn't alive in 1990 really inspired my overall exhaustion and despair today to fire neurons into a Batman meme.

A three panel meme/comic showing a scene from the show Batman Beyond, featuring Blight, a glowing green humanoid with a dark skeleton beneath their skin, and Batman. In the first panel, Blight is standing a fist half raised and the caption states: "Quick, I need to know what year it is. Who are we at war with?" In the second panel, Batman stands and is captioned: "The Middle East." In the final panel, Blight stands and demands in disgust and disdain: "Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?"

As a Millennial raised on the internet my trauma response is best categorized as 'make a meme about it'.

Thank you! After some walk through help and videos I feel a little less terrified. I cast on Monday! Onwards, ho!!!

Thank you! I took the pattern in to some of our veterans and I feel much more confident now! I can do it! 💪

A meme of Matthew McConaughey. He looks bedraggled and his cheeks are hollow as he sucks hard on a cigarette that is glowing brightly. His eyes are wide and look rather panicked.

That feeling when you start going over the pattern you picked for your LYS' spring KAL and realizing you may have bit off more than you can chew.

A wonder pick card from Pokémon Pocket TCG featuring the Pokémon Armarouge. The card is a full art featuring the Pokémon posing against a bright orange, flame-like background.

Having *shockingly* good luck today on this Pokémon Day with packs and picks.

She does have a sweater version of the fossil frenzy! Just adapt it to no sleeves and I think you'd be golden!

I'm not sure which of her patterns I want to do next but her Alossaurus cowl tempts me! Maybe after a few more projects in my queue 😅😆

"Hahahah oh really? Hahaha how weird!! I would nEVER-"

Bless this mess.

Hell! Yes! I picked an Aran/Bulky weight sweater to start with. But also decided 'what if paneled sweater' so then I had to learn how to mattress stitch 😂

No matter what I'm doing, I always seem to learn something new with each project. I love it, even if I drag my heels sometimes haha 💛

I was always scared to try. This is my second one and I'm having a ball! Maybe 2026 can be your year for it? I believe in you!

Ahhh! This is so fantastic! I love it. Perfect place for it!
