is it a meershaum? It is amazing! What a find. Don't know what I'd do with it as a non smoker, but god I'd be tempted if I came across it in the wild.

I would love a freedom of movement agreement with Europe. Being part of Schengen (or Schengen adjacent) without being in the EU is something that could happen. Switzerland as example. Or Ireland with the opt-out. Would this be overly difficult to implement with existing migration law?
Chantilly lace?
I think maybe there is a difference in finding relief when a tormentor of others is gone versus celebrating a death of a person you don’t like but who doesn’t/hasn’t had the power of life and death over others?
So much this.
I have taken the dragon stitch pattern from Heike Campbell's Dancing Dragon coat - on ravelry. But I'm making a custom set in sleeve, seamed sweater. I'll probably make the coat for myself next year because it's a lovely pattern.
Knitted cables with dragon heads looking fierce with gunmetal grey beaded eyes. In a black watch green colour way
My happy knitting place! I’ve got dragons, beads and cables. Plus it looks perfect. 🧶
Me too! What porn is the BBC doing. I went on quite a mental tangent coming up with ideas like documentaries on various non-Eurocentric cultures being pornographic before finally cottoning on.
But I have heard a kindness of knitters before too.
In my world it's a tangle of knitters.
Nutmeg sends me little hissy snake emojis when she does well in tests. Today I got 3 snakes of varying sizes, and a long drawn out yesssssss that wiggled in the message. I am old enough that I don't know how she did that and don't care.
She's amazing and she's rocking this school thing right now.
I have cast my first votes for fat bear week. My absolutely favourite fall tradition. Chonkster bears are best bears. The yearlings were adorable and contestant 901 is fantastically rotund today.
Oh yeah, i would procrastinate the heck out of that.

A jumper in pieces waiting to be sewn together.
I have lots of work to do. The kitchen needs cleaning. Appointments must be arranged. But I have the siren song of knitting too! A jumper waiting to be sewn together and dragon cables! I will adult and mix and match tasks. But the temptation is strong.
Mhz Choice is very good. I watch all my Nordic noir, my French dramas and dabble in German and Italian shows through it. All shows have English subtitles, and some you can watch dubbed into English if that is your preference. watch.mhzchoice.com/browse
Sending love and support!
Two very cute hand knitted baby clothes. A pink dress with crochet flowers and a green sleeping bag with white crochet trim. Bonus tuxedo cat is photobombing to ensure he is fed and doesnt waste away
New baby gifts just about done. Only the ends to weave in and a final sleeper to make. Bonus hangry cat who can’t believe I’m taking photos when he is starving
So an excellent report card for Canada. UK, improvement needed. I am sorry for US wine producers, it must be a dreadful time for them caught up in stupid trade wars, but not sorry enough to buy US wine again.
I used to think almonds were almonds and there is no real difference. Then I had marcona almonds and discovered that not all almonds are created equal. Sounds delicious.
JVL newsletter is required reading for me.
Oh I am excited for this one!
I would be terribly frightened if I lived somewhere where the police looked like they were ready to go to war. Every image of ICE I see coming out of America is so deeply disturbing. They seem so ridiculously over-militarised.
Canada collection yarn arrived yesterday and I got to open it on a perfect Canada Day on the west coast. Perfect timing!
This is Argos in the UK. Except there you can go in, browse a catalogue and then see if the warehouse in the back has the thing in the catalogue.
Gloomhaven 2 has arrived. All 12.5kg of it. In the house, quickly unwrapped and checked for issues. All good, looks beautiful. New map is gorgeous. In looking at our timeline of gaming we estimate in approx 3 years we'll get onto it having finished Frosthaven. 😂
I kind of love it. Smile is luminous.
My Frosthaven stab crab character is delighted to see killer crabs out and about doing their thing. 🦀
a pair of pink handknitted lace socks with a sweet rosebud pattern drying in the sun.
I have my newest socks drying in the sun on the deck. Sophie's Roses is a lace rosebud pattern that I loved creating.
The pattern is exclusive to a subscription yarn box from Arkansas Yarn Co (fantastic company to work with!) for June, and will then be available in August more widely.
having to walk home after an attack took down transit in London in 2005. Last time I wore heels to the office. Have since then made sure I had flat shoes always and heels just stayed at the office. You want walkable shoes in SHTF situations.
there really can be only one racoon on crack in the duplex. Preferably none tbh, but yeah, hoping we stay sensible.
