My mom used to have stints where she would randomly wake up at 4:30 AM and roam around the house, unable to sleep, understandably grumpy as hell.
It was perimenopause, mom. It was the week before your period. Now Iβm doing it, too. Thanks a lot, Nancy. π

Oh

I asked @rickgeerling.bsky.social for a hug while I was standing at the stove, so he hugged me from behind and picked me up, and he cracked at least six vertebrae in a part of my back that probably hasnβt been cracked since I was a teenager and I can fucking taste colors now, holy christ

A sage green piece of knitting in progress, in the shape of a triangle, being knitted from the point to the longest side.
Two angled red arrows pointing upward on either side indicate the slant of the triangle.
Knitting nerds: how on earth have I never been made aware of this adorable LLI/RLI method?? Starting each row with selvedge, k2tog without dropping yarn, yo, k2tog again, knit to the last three stitches, and then repeating that increase again except TBL followed by a final selvedge?
How TIDY. ππ§Ά
