One of my strongest college memories is of tramping through the cold, foggy woods to a professor's home, where students took turns bringing breakfast for the 8 or so of us and the professor, who provided tea.

My favorite Chinese interpretation of the Milky Way is “The River of Stars.” There’s something wonderfully poetic about that name. “The River of Stars” — 银河 (Yínhé) — feels less like astronomy and more like a doorway into myth, memory, and the way a culture imagines its place in the cosmos.

After blocking my swatch last night, I find that I am close to stitch gauge and way off on row gauge. @pattylyons.bsky.social says needle material can make a significant difference, so I'm going to switch from bamboo to metal. Other advice? Yarn is a cotton blend chainette. #VinterlandCardigan

Ice accretion should begin just about as soon as rain starts to fall given that temps are slowly falling at the moment and in the mid 20s to low 30s across the region, so travel will become hazardous fairly quickly, and certainly before midnight.

Reposting with Alt-text:
The lady at the charity shop today told me that she wishes people would clear out their children's old toys in the lead up to Christmas rather than after because she always sees a number of parents in the days before Christmas looking for toys for their little ones who might be strapped for cash. She said there's very rarely anything in just before, but that they get inundated with toys in the days after. 

And it really made me think about it in a way I never would have before. If you know your child is going to get lots of presents from father Christmas this year, by clearing out your cupboards a few days early you could make another child's Christmas a lot more special too.
