This is a side project i forgot about. A bandana. It's not finished yet, but it fits both of us.

#knitting update. I hate this square. I started it over thrice and it's still not right. I'll just finish it. As is. #knit #newbknit #knitsky #breien

New #books. Well, new on my shelves. One of these days I'll have to tidy up my book shelves. #booksky

Went out. Bought a sketchbook. Got to the Artis Zoo. Ended up sketching in my old notebook, just because it seemed easier. Pretty proud of myself. #drawing #sketching

The weirdest thing. I saw a video exposing people who use ai to create artwork and I felt compelled to draw something, because some people put so much time in faking art that I wanted to put in time to actually be creative. Remarkable. It's just playing around. But so much fun.

New café for Saturday morning coffees. I'm not sure this is it. The coffee is good, but its not much of a cappuccino. And no complimentary cookie on the side, plus expensive and slow. But coffee good.

Sometimes we pretend to live in a time before we were born. And then we discover things don't actually change. Steptoe & Son, black and white tv. Funny, dated, but funny.

#knitting update: some squares are a tiny bit bigger than they ought to be. I hope that blocking will fix it. 1/4th of the big blanket is done. #newbknit #knit #breien #knitsky

Sadly, this is our boujee coffee instead of our usual coffee. Our fave café closed. So we're forced to this place, where the music is a tad to loud and the tables are way too low. And there's a freakin' swan on my cappuccino. #coffee

My chihuahua feels very proud of all his family!

The #boardgame Magical Athlete is awesome. Look at the art. But also: fun that each token gives the player a different ability. No game is the same. And the combo if abilities of different tokens can be hilarious and frustrating.

Bought the boxset years ago on a whim. Enjoying watching Miami Vice again with my guy, who never watched it. It may be a little slower in storytelling. But it is still better than most of the offerings on streaming right now.

#knitting update: i thought this would be a very tricky square. But it's easy! It uses a knit below stitch. And even though I'm knitting stripes, it turns into this lovely pattern. #knit #knitsky #newbknit #showmeyourknits #breien

#knitting update, just before I head out on a mild summer day full of sunshine. I have four squares done! Next, picking out a square for another blue and pink square. Yes. The pink square has a huge flaw. I started it 3x and the same row was done wrong. Decided it was meant to be. #knitsky #breien

Sneaky picture, looks like my chihuahua is wearing my hair. 😄

Hot dog. Very happy chihuahua, dealing well with the heat.

Morning coffee. I have a new cup and look! It matches my summer heat dress! I'm so colour-coordinated.

#knitting update: knitting on the train is awesome. I had 5 or 6 hours and I knitted up a storm! Turns out the blanket squares knitting was perfect for #travelknitting The orange squares were made in Berlin. I started blue when we went over the border to the Netherlands. #knitsky #newbknit #breien

Our short break in #Berlin was great. We went by train, took the dog, stayed at an apartment hotel, went for lots of walks. And of course we went everywhere by public transport. The dog enjoyed it. We even took him to the Tiergarten. Turns out that swimming polar bears are amazing and a bit scary.

Back from a trip to Berlin, Germany. With the dog, who enjoyed the change of pace. #chihuahua

#knitting update: the blanket squares actually worked well as a travel knitting project. I decided to use the same colour for the squares I made on the road. But making the colour work patches will be an at home project. #knit #knitsky #newbknit #breien

Took this photo at Madurodam, a miniature park. These two figures are waiting at the airport there. I'm sure they're from different era's. But the look on the guy's face. He's had it.

Visited #Madurodam in the #Netherlands. A very modest attraction, but so much fun. It's The Netherlands in miniature. Pictured a mini #Amsterdam. So many interactive things for kids!

#knitting update: #travelknitting advice needed. Only 2 colours, three strands, small roun knitting project, not actually round. I keep messing up the strands! How do I not cross the stream... strands?? Spend too much time fixing. #breien #knit #knitsky #newbknit It'll be part of a blanket.

Dinner on Saturday is very often pizza. Always, maybe. This time while watching Star Trek Lower Decks.

I love it too. Paralives has actual gameplay that was lost somewhere after sims 2. I love the gameplay so much that I have hardly created paras or houses yet.

Does crochet last? Yes. These potholders were knitted by my great-grandmother. I do not use them anymore, because I fear not getting them clean again. But they hold. Only one lost it's scalloped edge.

#knitting update: my holiday project will be knitting these squares to make up a blanket. I think I got the right colours, but it doesn't have to match, right? #breien #knit #newbknit #knitsky I think it will be the perfect project for travel.

So my chihuahua has been limping on 3 legs for a while. Vet prescribed painkillers. I think my dog is a little high. But probably just more relieved. Vet found nothing wrong. We think it's just a pulled muscle.

Let me share my #paralives creation. I was trying to create a regular person and I think this turned out pretty okay. I have spent a few hours actually playing before creating. It takes so much time! I do like the gameplay. There is gameplay.
