Halloween 2024 scarf 🥴🤣
I work in a hospital. I continued to commute to work and do my job through all of the shortages and all of the uncertainty. I died a little each day I had to stop my then 3.5yo twins from rushing to hug me at the door so I could change, drop my clothes in the wash, and wash my hands before they touched me. Then they stopped trying. It was a year before I was greeted at the door with a hug. I knelt there crying the first time they did it again.
I saw all my friends doing all the lock down things and knew that society and employers would never make it up to those of us who worked through it all. We didn't even get pizza parties because my hospital had a no shared food policy for infection prevention.
I walked past maskless protestors outside my hospital accusing of us every ludicrous talking point there was. For the first time in my career I questioned why I did it. Why was I risking my family's health and my own to take care of THEM.
Yes... #blessed
I love the tradition of trick or treating in the neighborhood. I hate that it is dying in some communities (instead going to malls, trunk or treat etc). I happily give candy to anyone who knocks on the door and I don't care how old they are or if it's "late". It's a fun time for everyone.
I was thinking that I would have to do a collage because I wouldn't be able to pick a "favorite sock" project 🤣
They look wonderful. Great colors!
Will there be a sock theme in our future? 👀
I've knit a third of the length, closing in on half.
Team top down except for that one time I started at the heel. I was not convinced that it was going to work. I felt the need to sacrifice a chicken to make the dark magic work correctly. I'm currently contemplating a toe up pattern. It's a helix rib without a heel... The idea being I don't have to make a new sock when my munchkins outgrow the ones I just finished 🥴. Anyone have any experience with heelless socks?
Gravenstein makes DELICIOUS apple sauce! I have bought a case from a local farm two years in a row.
I make them into apple sauce and use that to make my apple butter. It's the best apple butter I've made to date.
Beautiful work! The color is gorgeous.
I'm taking a break from double knitting and I'm doing a brain candy hat (no pattern, just a quick and dirty stripey hat).
