Phlotilla - Going Down Fighting (Lyrics) ft. Andrea Wasse & Topher Mohr YouTube video by Varied All

This song came up in a playlist today and I think I’m going to play it every day from here on out.

#NightlyProgressReport I got caught up on the TP this morning, ordered more colors from Lichen & Lace to precisely be part of next year’s palette, and then finished the foot and started the toe of the 2nd Kimspired sock. #Knitting #HandDyedYarn 🧶

Watched Nuremberg. Was a really good reminder of what we said, “Never again.” to. Also, Leo Woodall was in this too.

My boy Leo looking down at me from atop my headboard. He’s a tuxy tabby with fancy feet.

Work is over. Laid down to rest my back. This is my view. #LeoCatstoy #Cats

Current colors plus potential colors…

Just paused to look at my notes from the first Kimspired sock and I need to knit 45 rows after the gusset decreases. Sigh, I’m midway through row 24. Hopefully I’ll get to the foot tonight and finish it tomorrow. #Knitting #Socks 🧶

Sea Holly is the blue I recently purchased. The other 3 are new. It will be interesting to see which greens I choose as I’m using Shrubs, Baby Leaves, and Forrest this year.

I already have Teal Tide and Citron. I’m looking to punch editing up with the neon pink and orange.

I’m looking for another red to add.

I can’t wait to see how or if Melrose fits in. The good news is that whatever I decide to not use in the temperature Project will still make some gorgeous socks.

I’m already working on how I plan to change up next year’s temperature project. I’m staying with #LichenAndLace but will be swapping out a few colors. I ordered 7 new colors today. Everything in these pics might be part of next year’s palette.

Got caught up on the #2026TP. I’m loving the color changes as the weather warms up. Amazingly, a week from now the high temp is predicted to be below freezing again. Sigh. 2 steps forward and all that. #Knitting 🧶

Got Sat and Sun done on the #2026TP today. Not completely caught up but should get there tomorrow. The temp hit 71 today so even if only another false Spring, we’re seeing warmer and warmer temps and I’m loving the color changes. And I’m still poking along on Kim. #NightlyProgressReport #Knitting 🧶

Windows are open. It’s almost 70 out and the birds are making quite a ruckus. Leo is happy in his hammock. #LeoCatstoy #Cats #AlmostSpring

There it’s literally nothing I need. But at the top of the list of things I already have FAR too much of (if we’re being honest and realistic) is yarn, project bags, and knitting books. So of course, those are the only things I ever want to buy.

I bought 2 skeins of yarn and 2 knitting books yesterday yet have managed little to no knitting all weekend. I'm worried that when those things arrive, Jake's eyes will roll so hard as to possibly cause actual physical injury.

Spot on, unfortunately.

We’re getting our first thunderstorm of the year and poor Leo is under my bed growling.

Action: decided to look at the comments of a political post

Consequence: BLOCKITY, BLOCK, BLOCK, BLOCK

Watched Vladimir today. Damn. Wild ride to crazy town but very much worth it.

Oops, I went on Etsy and somehow I’ll be receiving a couple skeins of sock yarn from two new to me Indy dyers. I don’t know how that could have happened.

I’m so sorry for your loss.

Got today’s TP done and then surprisingly managed to finish the gusset decreases on the 2nd Kimspired sock tonight. I’ll take it! #NightlyProgressReport #Knitting 🧶

This shit show of a work week has come to a blessed end for me. Ordered from one of our favorite Tex-mex places for dinner. After we eat I might get some stitches in before I drug myself to sleep with antihistamines. But the odds are currently low.

I just wish that when individuals try to take one for the team they have better aim.

Beautiful! The biggest obstacle in tracking the history of the fiber arts is that the finished products typically degrade over time until they vanish completely. Not so with many of the tools.

Ouch!!

My message to him is simple: Stop making Pennsylvanians' lives harder.

The national unemployment rate is rising (while ours has been below it for 31 straight months), gas prices are skyrocketing, and he's STILL imposing reckless tariffs that are driving prices up — even after the Supreme Court ruled he instated them illegally.

All Donald Trump does is undermine the progress we’ve made here in Pennsylvania to cut taxes and make life more affordable.

Look at the facts:
