And now I’m at an eye ER because of a foreign body sensation in the previous shingles-affected eye. Fuck shingles.

After another small shingles resurgence today (I'm so fucking done with shingles, it needs to stop), I finally have the free baby blanket #crochet pattern ready to release tomorrow. Next thing to do is get pictures of my next knitting pattern. #knitsky #crochetsky

Free crochet baby blanket pattern update. I didn't get around to finishing the write up this weekend. So no pattern release yet. I'm really hoping I can get the last little bit written up this week and release it this coming Sunday. #crochet

Yay! Finally finished the last hat for another new pattern! I've been working on this one for most of this year. It's going to be a fairly simple knit pattern but I made hats using every yarn weight from Sock to Super Bulky so that you can use anything you want (minus Lace) to make it.

NEW PATTERN!! This coming Monday! This is CALVERA. Calvera is a neutron star in the Little Dipper constellation, a perfect name for a colorwork pattern with stars. It features yarn from Good Karma Yarn and Soap from Maine. #knitsky #knittingpattern #knitting

Hi all! I'm still around. I should have 2 patterns coming out soon. One is a free crocheted baby blanket. The other is a knitted colorwork hat and cowl set using worsted weight yarn. I'm looking at late Sept for the hat/cowl. Not sure about the blanket. Early Sept?

East coast peeps. Wildfire smoke to hit starting tomorrow. Looks like the worst is forecasted to hit overnight Thursday into Friday and linger at least to Saturday.

Ugh. It's been a rough night for trauma coming up related to the severe shingles infection last year. I'm so tired of advocating for myself (practically yelling that something is wrong and I need help) and getting nowhere. I'm tired of being the only person managing my ongoing shingles care.

The Met put its entire collection online for free so I made a game out of it! 10 artifacts a day, and you guess where and when each one's from. Anthropeum.com if anyone wants to give it a shot and leave feedback :) #history #archeology #arthistory #museums

Went to the NH Sheep and Wool Festival during a brief vacation to Massachusetts last weekend. Had to cut it short due to back problems. Doing better after starting PT. But back problems suck. This is not the first time my back has interfered with a vacation. #knitsky #knitting #crochet

43 items donated to a local hospital. The crafters group there told me how impactful the squids are for the pediatric patients. So there are a lot of squids in this donation set. This brings my lifetime total of donated handmade items to 793. #knitsky #knitting #crochet

Garden update. My dad and I started our vegetable garden seeds using the seed snail method. It isn't common in the US yet. It is much more popular in Europe. This is what the seedlings look like just 2 weeks after sowing. #garden #seedsnail #gardensky

Glenarden is still coming out on Sunday. But I realized I never posted about a #freepattern I released about 2 weeks ago. "Simple Scrap Ribbed Beanie" is a free simple ribbed hat pattern that uses scrap worsted weight yarn. Find it on #Ravelry! #knitting #knitsky

New pattern release! This Sunday! This is GLENARDEN. It features yarn from The Fiberists. I've been working on some form of this pattern for the better part of two years. I'm finally satisfied with it. Can't wait for it to finally be out! #knitsky #knitting #knittingpattern

It's only been 6 hours since the second dose of the shingles vaccine and already starting to not feel well. Completely expected given how dose 1 went. But annoying nonetheless.

Latest harvest from my garden. This is a gallon-size ziploc's worth. They will be going to my dad who is attempting to figure out my grandmother's old canning catsup recipe (she was my mom's mom and we can't find her recipe but my dad remembers really liking it decades ago when he last had it).

Been quiet lately. Lots of stress over the last few months led to a severe case of facial shingles (and I’m in my 30s). Been at Hopkins for a bit and have more time to go. At least my room has a view. And I’ve started doodling.
