The dishes are done, man.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Serious though, Sunday night I was still inching across the border and felt like I was being crushed. Nate said he thought for sure I was just going to toss this work to the side, but he was impressed with my fortitude— this is for a publication, isn’t it 😏??⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And just as I had promised, it was all worth it! I honestly don’t want to pack it up and send it off... I talk about the pieces I want to knit vs the pieces I want to wear fairly often and THIS is a piece I want to wear (like, right now) even though I struggled to get to the finish line.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In other news, HAPPY 💗 DAY!! I’m off to spend some quality time with my love. XO⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The second plump little lump of pink this month. A bit softer in color than the first and to become something vastly different.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Also, welcome to pothole season on in the northern hemisphere! It’s like playing Mario kart but with really expensive consequences 😖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Happy Friday *for real* !! It’s been a meandering sort of week that was drawn out a bit too long. And to be honest, these last couple repeats might be the actual death of me. Yesterday, hubs came downstairs and gave me the run-down of his night (as usual) and when he was through, I just held my needles up and said “This — “ and he burst out laughing, “I know... Every time I see you, it’s in your lap but it doesn’t seem to be getting any longer!” I was feeling a bit salty right there, but it gave me a burst of I-gotta-get-this-thing-done-once-and-for-all. So, that’s my top priority today.
In the end, it’s gonna be so, so lovely that I’ll forget all of this toil. And when the pattern releases, please delete all of my griping from your memory 😂 I enjoy knitting (obviously) but I struggle mentally with making multiples of anything (sleeves, socks, gloves, good gawd I could never cut it as a production knitter...) AND knitting straight without shaping. What most folks likely consider relaxing, I consider painfully dull.
With that, I had better stop procrastinating and get down to it. Have a great weekend 😘

How do we feel about selfies? I’ve always been in the -no thanks- category, but also in the -I definitely am not a blogger mom that has elaborate photo shoots- category. So, obviously, I don’t post many photos of myself WEARING my... well... wears. But I should get over it. I don’t wear makeup, I don’t do my hair (and by “do” I literally mean I don’t even use shampoo), so I’m never camera ready which might also mean I’m always camera ready? I’ll try posting more and see how long it lasts before I’m tired of looking at my own face (wearing my #gioiaslantcardigan btw).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Also, in unrelated news.... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
have you watched Russian Doll on Netflix yet? I binged the entire season 😬⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m also obsessed with This Podcast Will Kill You (because murder isn’t the only thing after us). Basically, if you listen long enough and your neighbor calls to complain about the kids having the stomach flu, you’re gonna gently break the news that she’s ground zero of a cholera outbreak.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
