Giving up. Let's pretend this dye discrepancy is a design feature.

A grey-green cardigan with a darker yoke and arms rests on a bed of multicolored children's alphabet mat square.

Bath number five. Left out the Soak and still getting wild amounts of dye bleed. This is bananas.

A white sink, filled with beautiful teal water, and a mass of knitting the dye came from. For a fifth time.

Lynn Ann@froggydear· 18d

This was number three. Guess we're going for four.

A white sink NOT filled with Baja Blast, but instead with teal water from excess dye in this green sweater mass

Some of the skeins I knit this cardigan with were darker and left dye on my hands. Look at all this dye bleed in the first soaking! The second soak is a little paler - will probably go for a third.

A white sink, filled with water the color of Baja Blast Mountain Dew (a teal) and a dark mass of knitting held back by a pale hand.

On my computer monitor I got 0.0057. All in the same range as the text was the same, I guess.

This is a CAT checkpoint. Show me the most recent cat image on your phone. (Neighborhood cats I tried to befriend)

In the dusky twilight, a grey and white cat sits on a walkway, turning away. At the end of the walkway is a tuxedo cat, keeping watch.

Today was my last day as league president. I served two terms, six years. So proud of what my league accomplished during my tenure, but happy to pass the torch.

Two legs form a V. They have knee pads and roller skates with pink laces on. Between them is a yellow note book with a T-Rex on it and a sticker encrusted water bottle.

Spending a lot of time thinking about yarn things because it's preferable to doom scrolling. Anyway, here's the mini-skein set I'm winding in anticipation of making a Sea Glass cardigan.

25 skeins of yarn on a brown ottoman, arranged in roughly color order from blues through green and brown into pink and purple. The pinks and purples (9 so far) have been hand wound into centerpull balls.

Sultry. Hot with passion or anger.

I started reading @kjcharleswriter.com The Magpie Lord as a Christmas treat and, upon finishing, immediately bought the next two books and devoured them. I have no regrets except I don't get to read them for the first time again.

Cover of KJ Charles The Magpie Lord. Shades of green with a gate opening and the silhouettes of two men in the foreground.

Yesssss.

Cover of Johanna Lindsey's Tender is the Storm. The white man on the lefthand side is standing and also butt naked. The white woman with red hair wears a yellow dress, partially pushed down. Her head is tilted back in apparent ecstasy. Her bosom is pushed up against his fully nekkid business. He seems bemused.

Please enjoy this award winning celery from my county fair.

Celery, arranged in a clear glass vase on a clear glass shelf. Tall, green, and leafy. It has a large white and grey rosette. It has won Best of Show.

While I can't compete with Paperback Alley, I do love my bookshelves.

I baked chocolate chip cookies in a variety of sizes today.

Three chocolate chip cookies. One is appx 3 inches in diameter, one 4", and the last appx six inches. There is a hand next the the largest for scale.

Knitting up my handspun mini-skein gradient into an underappreciated pattern called Arket. It's so striking! Why haven't more people made this?

Jewel tone gradient stripes meet at an angle, cool tones on one side, warmer tones on the other. For now.

40 plus appreciation post! Reskeet with a pic of you're on the right side of 40. 42.

Today I improved my couch. Once used as a scratching post, it now has a jaunty repair. And I now own an upholstery needle.

On left, the back of an arm of a grey couch, completely gutted, as if the cat held a deep hatred of IKEA mid-century modern style furniture. On right, the same couch with a strip of authentic mid-century atomic boomerang pattern bark cloth sewn over the gaping wound. It looks nice.

Why not try an entirely new technique for a project that needs to be completed for an event in one week? Double knitting. So far it makes me hands ache and my brain hurt a little.

About a half inch of black and purple knitting on a slightly too short circular needle.

I've gotten Wordle in 2 three days running. This feels very weird.

Screenshot of recent history of my Wordle games. For May 26, 27, and 28 the screen shot shows they were won in 2. The others on screen range from 3-5 guesses.

I told @oldchum.bsky.social that Lisa Simpson could never be as cool as I am and, well....

Rad me. In the foreground with the backwards hat.

Put on my skates for the first time since I broke my leg in October. It was good to be back. I lasted about an hour, just bopping around practice, before my toes and a twinge in my leg told me it was time to stop.

I have made marshmallows! Sweet squishy success!

A hand holds a rectangular piece of white homemade marshmallow with a bite out of it. The hand is dusted with powdered sugar, as is the marshmallow.

Bringing me joy today: kitty paw prints in the snow.

A thing dusting of snow covers a drive way. Little kitty paw prints go halfway across the driveway and then turn around and loop back to where they came from.

We hosted our new skater scrimmage yesterday. Some of those skaters were at the Bambi on ice stage when I broke my leg 102 days ago, and now they're jamming! So amazing to see progress.

Turn two view of roller derby. The score table featuring a man in a black top and a laptop is at left, a crouching woman in a red top is at centering (she's photographing the jam on her phone), two refs are at center, with roller derby action happening at right center.

I messed up joining my afghan six hexagons back. Luckily it's only yarn, so it can be fixed. But dang it!

An afghan with colored hexagons joined with grey yarn. At the top is a y-shaped join with a white line overlayed and the word yes. At the bottom is a plus shaped join with a white line overlayed and the word no. Plus a sad face drawing
