Mend/alter/frog is a great #ShowMeYourKnits prompt. The contrast color in the yoke is a *special* yarn and the yoke and fit didn't work for me. I frogged the whole thing and used the navy yarn to make a totally different sweater. 🧶
Heck yeah, corn dog superiority and weird condiments. Somewhere I have a screenshot of a "fluffy mustard" recipe a skeeter posted.
Somebody on my skyline was eyeing the Lily P corn ensemble and I spotted it in the wild at baggage claim.
Heja Sverige! I read somewhere this is to do with something at the House of Sweden and the flag on the mast checks out.
I changed my seat assignment on a half-full flight hoping to see the mall. The Little Pencil (not to be confused with the LOTI Pencil today) on the approach to DCA. And boarded a metro train on the center track for maybe the first time.
Finished the quilt for the baby shower so next up is a hankie for a bridal shower. I haven't tatted in...8 years? Took my hands a minute to remember what to do.
Pleased to report that the visitors assembled at the art museum in Williamsburg affirmed the vote for an Amazonian warrior over a turkey to represent Virginia on the seal. This was a fun and interactive way to learn about meaning in the Seal of Virginia.
Not really a meme, but it's important for my happiness that I remember this recipe exists. Cc @landscapejudger.bsky.social
Binder clips binding. I have the windows open for fresh air but now I can smell someone grilling nearby.
Time to get basted. If I kept project notes I'd suggest a narrower white frame next time I make one of these. #ISpyQuilt
Two barndoors, both alike in denying dignity, In fair Westin where we lay our scene
We went to the zoo and met baby Linh Mai with her Auntie Swarna. And saw my favorite poop exhibit.
Possible highlight of visiting the American Revolutionary Museum Yorktown was two kids upon entering this room: Kid 1: That's George Washington! Kid 2: Chess! And Kid 2 proceeded to use only chess pieces moves to annoy Kid 1.
Yes! We'll sample after a nap. They said they were pretty wiped out after yesterday, but we took home a mini apple pie that was still warm and a slice of pecan. I want to go back and play pinball.
Ventured over to Arlington for ramen and sushi at Boru. And noticed a pie shop the next block over...
#ALXSky, has anyone tried the new taco shop on West around the corner from the florist? Looks like a straightforward menu of breakfast and regular tacos.
The whiplash when this witness was called to the stand in S3E10 of Turn. SCROGGINS
I was going to finish #ALXBeercember without posting, but Day 12, observed, is too weird (complimentary) not to. The first sour I tried and liked, although not great paired with pizza. Hope I can find more Seasick Crocodile at @deptofbeerandwine.bsky.social next year.
I figure if I cut a trip short to be back before the snow starts I better go have a walkabout now that it's here. If anyone saw a gal in purple pants kicking snow to clear a pedestrian path it was probably me.
Making a batch of cold brew concentrate tonight. It's great that wf as a grinder in the store. #ALXcaffeinary
Really wish I had waited a week to cast on a project for this yarn that was in my stash. 🧶
Power was out to start the day at the conference hotel this morning but the HVAC is kicking now to catch up. Airspot confirms there is good air movement. Unremarkable cup of coffee. #ALXcaffeinary
I'm a little concerned about how swampy might relate to exploding cephalopod from the Emojic 8 Ball. xkcd.com/1525/
