Well, that was certainly both something and something unexpected. Very cool to wait for this mystery moment in the bullpen. Very very cool to be on that field for a second time, and deeper. Not sold on Bananaball, but enjoyed moments.

This week’s #knitting #wip — started some socks because the cardigan I’ve been working on is too big to travel. These are Citrouilles d’Halloween by Ingrid Baudine. Kept the lifeline in the cuff because I’m a little unsure on the gauge with my colorwork and went up a bit in needle size this time.

A half-knit sock on a 9” needle set with a wood sheep stitch marker. The socks are black with an orange/green jack-o-lantern motif.

The library isn't your mommy or daddy. Nobody is forcing you to check out any books. Nobody is forcing you to read any books. If you don't like a book, don't read it. If you don't want your kids reading the book, grow up, be a parent, and choose a different book.

Nothing like having a teen girl stop you in your tracks to tell you your dress* is “really pretty.” Reader, she had very cool earrings and her taste could clearly be trusted. Flattery of the year for me! *It’s a basic, shapeless black dress with a slim keyhole. Nthg special but comfy for heat.

I had to say no thank you, provide two reasons (I don’t do this + it’s inappropriate), and finally physically turn away from a patron who would not accept a no on lunch together. “That’s strange, it’s a free country, you can have lunch with whoever you want.” Cool, I’m now enjoying my lunch alone.
