After letting me know it was time for second breakfast and the couch cave needed to be rebuilt, we can finally settle in. If I don’t come back as my cat next time around, I’m going to be pissed.

For this week’s #showmeyourknits I’ve got a finished pair of Basket Weave Rib Socks. A bit fiddly to work but I love the finished result.

Pair of finished hand knit socks on sock blockers. They have a textured ribbing and knit/purl basketweave pattern. Knit from The Little Wolf Knits Sunfish sock yarn in a neutral herb green/brown/cream color with contrast cuffs and toes in wheat yellow.

Just leaving this thought on making a difference in the world here. I feel like we all want to do something big but all the small stuff is equally important right now.

I read Spillover on my vacation and what a timely read! If you’re wondering about the NBO (next big one), this one will encourage you to wear a mask. Written before COVID, it was an eerily prescient warning of what happened in the pandemic and could happen again. #whatimreading #nonfiction 📚

Can’t think of a better use of my lunch break than to call a few Senators and share my thoughts on the idiocy going on in Washington right now. I definitely need another fortifying cup of tea now and try to calm down before I go back to work. #democracyatlunch
