blame COVID fall out

My sister refers to it as “mass cultural trauma”.  Which i feel best expresses how much its effected everyone.

want to be here (much gorgeous art pictures i cannot quote)

Oh wow. Those are stunning.

some are woodblock, others are lino. 
screen printing, which can use paper to block the ink, might be fun to look into as well as the paper cutting if you need something leas demanding physically. 
There are some great lino cutting groups of facebook where people share their work in various stages of completion. Ive been lurking absorbing ideas as its something ive been wanting to try for ages. 
 

 

loving this challenge for you. I know for me stress is the number one thing that kills my energy. Anything that helps reduce the background stress for you is good. 
 

glad the therapy is being so positive for you and mr. Harriet.

finished reading the original mistborn trilogy. It very much continued in the unpeeling of many-layered secrets right until the end. Most entertaining

Sanderson rocks. Highly recommend warbreaker if you havent read it yet. 
 

blanket sounds fun. Are you using huge needles?

I'm loving the squishy single ply. Would never use it for a sweater since I suspect it will be fragile and pill. But for a hat or blanket? Perfect. So squishy.

Chunky Singles also work well for arm warmers and scarves. 
One of my favourite yarn types. 
 

😱❤️oh my god that hat is gorgeous! Yours looks so good. 

(Goes to google pattern immediately)

Yes, I've tried out 6mm, 8mm, 10mm and 15mm needles for the first time. The super bulky yarn is remarkably larger than the mere bulky yarn, which is not so different from aran. Strange.

I tweaked my neck in my damned sleep. Not doing heroic overhead presses. Just sleeping. It is now severely stiff and quite painful.

Felt exhausted and did almost nothing except a walk. 

Looking forward to more sleep.

Apparently you do gymnastics in your sleep.  Explains a lot actually.

Or wrestle bears. Is there any mysterious fur about?
