hey now this is all here i can finally block my boneyard sweethearts yoke AND continue the alien sweater yaaayyy no more project limbo!
and the mercerised yarn is for my epic alien sweater so it's not like i just got shit willie nillie. (also everything but the mercerised yarn was like £1 and i needed the interchangeable needle stuff anyway, might as well make it worth the postage lol)
that's what i tell myself at least?
in my defence the top 6 yarns are for a Halloween colourwork cowl I bought a pattern for on a whim around (you guessed it) Halloween and if that doesn't work out i'll use them for a Halloweenie cotton sweater anyway, the yellow grey & red are for a rocket blankie i want to make for our new nephew,
box full of knitting accessories like 3mm interchangeable needle tips & three different lengths of cables and a pack of cable connectors, needle point prtectora that are cute purple hands, heart shaped stitch markers, 'handmade' tags and a bag of stitch wires
12 skeins of cotton 4 or 5ply yarn: purple, white, pink, black, green, orange, yellow, grey, red, pink (it's a different type of yarn, mercerised cotton, as are the next two) blue and green
me: i need to use up my existing yarn stash, no buying new yarn
also me:
there's been a disturbance in the force.
(aka Carl is now working 8-4 instead of 9-5, starting yesterday, and it has disrupted the routine and it feels wrong, we might have to start eating at 5pm like we're geriatric, to balance the scales)
i did. but only kind of. i only had like 10 mins before closing and i needed to pee so I just looked at paint & wallpaper, grabbed paint colour guide and bought a bottle of strawberry lemonade
i enjoyed The Bride! but i can see how people might not like it. it's a weird campy thing & i'm into that
going to see The Bride! tonight.
but will i leave the house early enough to go to the range to look at plants first or not? we shall see!
saving this for later
ok so I have also been working on my two things that have a deadline next Sunday but i like being dramatic about knitting
i've been mostly staring at the tracking for my yarn order and going "when are you arriving in this country, baby?" when i ordered it, i did not realise it was coming from Denmark. i don't think it made it obvious in any way 😭 i swear i looked.
last scan is københavn on thursday 5th ):

YOU ARE AN ARTIST WITH FREE WILL. YOU CAN DRAW YOUR FAVES FUCKING NASTY. YOU ARE AN ARTIST WITH FREE WI
IT'S OK IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN ART JOB. IT'S OK IF SHIT'S HARD. IT'S OK IF YOU DON'T WANNA DRAW SOMETIMES. IT'S OK IF YOU'RE NOT AS GOOD AS YOU WANNA BE. JUST DRAW WHAT YOU WANT WHEN YOU WANT. BE STUPID. GET WORSE. DRAW PUSSY. I DON'T KNOW.
i ordered some knitting supplies last night and I'm already sitting by the door like where are you 🥺 so i can continue my big knits (two different colourwork sweaters)
just another gauge swatch (10x10 cm with 3.5mm needles)
tbh i have nothing but time off 😭
absolutely fucking wasted my house to myself time. typical me behaviour 👍
i should just get up and put everything away and move on to something else but i'm just sulking and talking to Lori about blorbos cos i'm too annoyed and also don't know what to do with the bits i should just fully give up on ): back in the box? throw away? seam rip & save the fabric? idk.
i also can't finish off the other things in my unfinished sewing box cos they need adjustments that are gonna be tricky and v annoying on already partially sewn things so it's probably easier to scratch them and start again with new fabric.
so now i'm just annoyed about the wasted fabric & effort.
c is away until tomorrow for a work thing and i was gonna sew since I have the house to myself but universe said lol no cos i cannot find my standard white or black thread ANYWHERE, or interfacing which i need for the neckline of the dress i've had cut out since last summer, i'll fuck it up without.
made Carl go through his jumpers and he got rid of half of them cos they didn't fit anymore (gonna take them to his old shop where they miss him) can't get rid of this one cos a) it's iconic and b) i must recreate it in a bigger size so we can wear it (probably me tbh)
jsyk i have a patreon and i share my bullet journal monthly pages etc on there, as well as... idk fan art WIPs and stuff.

I feel so guilty sometimes, I'm sure you do too.
yesterday i somehow got to brixton library like an hour and 15 minutes early so i was set up 45 mins before zine fair started. this has never happened before. except when ive stayed with the organisers house the night before & helped them set up everything 😅
i had a really nice time 👍
thank you 💘
i did 🙌 ✨
you'd think after all this time 17 years of tabling, i would have learned and remember that the beginning of the zine fair is a good quiet time but nope 😅 (it's cos one doesn't yet know if you've made any spending money or not, isn't it)
!!!! oh no i should have done my rounds 😭

i love zine fair train travel 🚂 👍
i finished it.
c was clearly not thinking when he packed up the dungeon up with loft treasure but I don't blame him cos how on earth would you think of everything in one go with either of our brains. It'll be fine
