I love the idea of a recumbent trike (I have balance issues and a hard time riding a standard bike anymore) but transport logistics are a bit complicated and I wouldn’t feel safe on city streets on one.

Thank you for running it again this year. I still need to read through and see I have to work with.

Such a great afternoon at @pocketbooksshop.bsky.social with @writesloud.bsky.social and @mrswhitehouse74.bsky.social in conversation about First Kicking, Then Not. Entirely relatable strangeness, perfect for our present moment.

Unpleasant realization about my writing today: when I write lately, I write until the character needs to take action, and I stop. Just thinking about it makes me tense. Thinking about adding the next sentence with the action makes me tense. Neither of these things inspires forward motion. Help?

Thanks! And thank you for being my supplier. Took me awhile to get to this project, but it’s perfect for car time.

I added a second color yesterday, by reaching in the bag and pulling out the first thing I touched. Color changes are determined by a set of personally significant numbers. 🧶 #roadtripknitting #roadtrip #michiganorbust

Ever since I made the long, colorful scarf for Karl a few years ago, I’ve been thinking of making one of my own. Today it begins. Acres of garter stitch in soft, smooshy yarn is perfect car knitting. #roadtripknitting #roadtrip #michiganorbust

Three hours is not enough sleep before going to work. Spending two hours at the emergency vet to learn that your dog is high does not help. Who either fed my dog THC-something or dropped it on the street for her to hoover up?! Today was already not going to be my favorite of the week.

I went to a talk/reading at a local college last night and I was the only person in a mask. It wasn’t packed, unfortunately, but still!

I’m not sure it is. How can that possibly be? Happy birthday to the birthday girl!

I’m thinking about my notebook out in my bag, but I’m also thinking about going to bed. It’s been a long week already and it’s only Tuesday.

@lancasteryarnshop.bsky.social TFW you are almost finished but you realize you knit the entire middle section with the wrong size circular. I’m glad I enjoy watching the stripes pile up. #musselburghhat #frogging #dpnlifeline

I was fourteen when it happened and remember hearing about it on the news (NPR). I have never forgotten about it, but if I hadn’t heard that news story, I don’t know if I would have gotten the information otherwise (certainly didn’t come up in school).

Haven’t been felled by a migraine in quite awhile, but here I am. Should have just stayed in bed, but felt obligated to get things done at the office.

Double gah! I’m glad he didn’t ditch you! I think we waited for someone having paperwork processed (or at least heavily scrutinized) on our way up. It’s nerve wracking enough just being a run-of-the-mill tourist.

I love traveling in sleeper cars! We were considering Europe this year but with *everything* it looks like we’ll stay here and do another overnight train trip somewhere instead.

Wrtrmaus @wrtrmaus.bsky.social · 27/02/2025

Not only is the train between MTL and NYC a daytime route, when my husband and I made the trip last summer, the train only ran between NYC and Saratoga Springs, so we were on Trailways/Greyhound to and from Montreal (despite having booked the train for the whole route). I love Amtrak, but gah!

For the past few evenings I’ve gone up to the room where my yarn and laptop are and spent time with my writing. Tonight, I finished the dishes and succumbed to inertia. My work week caught up to me.

2025 is apparently the year for unearthing knitting UFOs and doing something about them. Finished object number two is the Carbeth Cardigan by Kate Davies that I didn’t quite finish in 2020! All it needed was underarm grafting, woven ends, and buttons. I loved it from the moment I put it on.

Not a hat update, but a nearly dry cardigan (that bulky Lopi really soaked up the water!) that I may be able to wear in a day or two (once I trim all the ends).

I did try to write this evening, but it didn’t come together, so knitting was the other option to keep my phone out of my hands for a while. I’ll try again tomorrow.

Thank you! My LYS had a sample sock in this colorway which is part of why I chose it. I may have to get another ball for socks, too!
