Thank you.
It's lovely 🌹

Do you remember what yarn this is?
Looks like a cotton, and I'm on the hunt for a machine washable cotton that holds its cables.

Cover of Tinkers by Paul Harding

Finished Tinkers this morning after the dawn walk with the dog, and I just loved it.

O, Sam, I love this. It's only gorgeous (and you are, too).

Garter tab cast on?
Crescent increases?

Do you have a link to the pattern for this madness?

Is this your own design?
I am fetched.

'Decades of Signs:' Attorney for Justin Fairfax Rape Accuser Speaks Out After Former Va. Lt. Gov. Murders Wife Meredith Watson accused the former Virginia lieutenant governor of raping her while they were students at Duke University in 2000.

Yesterday was a day of errands and knitting.
Dinner was an egg sandwich on homemade bread with Mayonnaise (gotta be Duke's).

Wow!!
I'm completely fetched.

You love to see it.
Everyone deserves a union.

Every time I see or hear him say "Who are you with?" in that pointed tone, I'm reminded of my dad, who did the same thing as early onset Alzheimer's took hold.

We responded to the frustrated tone as though we were lacking in credentials, but really it just masked his memory decline.

Thank you

Roanoke, are you listening?
It's time to tell surrounding counties No Thanks to data centers

(I'm looking at you, Botetourt)

I think we need to reverse the Quiz Show ruling (lies=entertainment), and have massive fines and loss of FCC license for lying-as-news.

News matters.

We don't need data centers.

Solar surplus is possible in the US.

UK households to be urged to use more power this summer as renewables soar Incentives to absorb surplus wind and solar energy could help balance the grid and lower bills

Some energy suppliers may be offering heavily discounted or free electricity this summer when there's more wind and solar power than the electricity grid needs. It's reported that this could be the first summer the grid runs entirely on zero-carbon electricity. 🙌 www.theguardian.com/environment/...
