#knitting project COMPLETE. Ends are woven in. I don't have a place in my life for blocking something 7.25 feet long, so washing will have to do. It's just a lap blanket.

Smart home? You mean that my home will run on surveilance capitalism? I think that I'll pass, thanks.
Ms.O Has Lost It boosted:
Bless the first to experiment. Many took one for the team, tbs.
Work in progress. Tissue box for scale. This is definitely wider than I meant it to be. I've said it before and I'll say it again: knitting is more complicated than crochet.

When you meet a guy who pretends to be an introspective intellectual and later find out he’s just a bro in disguise, that’s fratfishing.

US woman breaks Guinness World Record for longest female beard
This is so cool!! And I am so glad she lives in a state that doesn't criminalize a diversity of appearance in women.
Also really glad that the news story discusses the medical cause of this.

Out on my walkies with the dogs, a pretty flower waved hello
I can't keep #reading. I have enjoyed 11 of Laurel K. Hamilton's Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter series and, having 200 pages left of the 12th, I have to be done.
Never have I read such convoluted relationships in any #ParanormalRomance , spicy or not. There are moments of peace in Incubus Dreams where substantive conversations occur, clarifying WTF happened during the metaphysical sexual encounters that supposedly moved the plot forward, but they wouldn't need the explanations if it was clear.

BREAKING: Illinois Supreme Court finds the IL assault weapons ban constitutional.
It’s no accident that Blue states have a 40% LOWER murder rate than do Red states. Gun safety laws work in reducing gun violence.
A win for freedom & justice today.✊🏽
Well done to IL Democrats and Governor Pritzker for keeping us safe and upholding justice.

I have successfully darned 3 pair of socks back to wearability. I want a cookie, dammit.
I have also maintained my position that socks twice darned shall then be considered damned and are eligible for no further repair. Thus the two most ragged pair are now in the bin. #patchByPatch #knitting #fiberarts @fiberarts

"Mad as a wet cat" takes on new meaning for me after having seen Giotto come in from the storm. My mom's Newfoundland dogs helped "dry" him out.
