Absolutely obsessed by how this is working up! Unfortunately the blue is a) discontinued b) impossible to frog, so if my raglan shaping doesn't work I'm going to *cry*

Dog managed to balance her shit perfectly on top of some brambles, risking both my fingers and the structural integrity of the bag. Good job she's cute.

If I was wearing a dark fur coat I simply would not be sunbathing today but she is determined ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For once I am incredibly glad I fell for the marketing. Heatwave mvp for sure.

Washed my massive heavy crochet blanket and now using it as garden shade, delightful

'open the loft hatch' they said. 'it'll cool things down,' they said. 'it's easy' they said

Loft hatch, open to slightly less than the width of a broom handle. The broom is stuck in the gap, far above my head.

This is mine (it needs the set-up, in image 1), about the courage and kindness of hard decisions

‘It’s bad,’ she whispered, as Granny looked at the moaning figure on the straw. ‘I reckon we’ll lose both of them … or maybe just one …’ There was, if you were listening for it, just the suggestion of a question in that sentence. Granny focused her mind. ‘It’s a boy,’ she said. Mrs Patternoster didn’t bother to wonder how Granny knew, but her expression indicated that a little more weight had been added to a burden. ‘I’d better go and put it to John Ivy, then,’ she said. She’d barely moved before Granny Weatherwax’s hand locked on her arm. ‘He’s no part in this,’ she said. ‘But after all, he is the—’ ‘He’s no part in this.’

It was doubtful that anyone in Slice would defy Granny Weatherwax, but Granny saw the faintest grey shadow of disapproval in the midwife’s expression. ‘You still reckon I should’ve asked Mr Ivy?’ she said. ‘That’s what I would have done …’ the woman mumbled. ‘You don’t like him? You think he’s a bad man?’ said Granny, adjusting her hatpins. ‘No!’ ‘Then what’s he ever done to me, that I should hurt him so?’

Look, I love my dog and I do realise that slippers must smell *incredible* to her, but this is honestly unsustainable

Merry Christmas from Fern who doesn't know what all the fuss is about, she didn't eat *all* the beef

Fern got into a pack of flour and licked so vigorously and so wetly she made face dough

My deepest darkest fantasy is that I collapse on the street and I am rushed to the hospital. They perform a bunch of tests and find out I am severely deficient in some kind of vitamin. Then I start taking the vitamin and I become the happiest cleverest person alive because all my problems were caused by this one deficiency

Moreover, everyone gathers around to be tremulously compassionate and discreetly admiring: all this time, you lacked the Vitamin? And yet you persevered?

My test results: folate levels low. Needs 4 months of supplements

A fancy mixed matcha latte will definitely solve all my problems and not just over-caffeinate me, shut up

My main use case was reading while I crochet and it is PERFECT for that. I've got it hooked up to a bluetooth foot pedal to turn the pages, which works on all my reading apps (except borrowbox 😭) You can also annotate pdfs etc with the stylus, so great for marking up patterns etc

Google maps so very dedicated to providing an alternative route for a route so straightforward that the only suggestion they can make is "walk on the other pavement for a bit"
