The baby blanky I’m finishing is in Shine which is a cotton/modal blend made by Knit Picks. It’s is super soft and in the midrange pricewise.

What yarn was it? Some expensive yarn really doesn’t feel nice at all. When I’m in a LYS I drag my hand along and feel everything before I even bother to look at the colors.

I’m the opposite. I love fancy yarn. Yes it may be ridcious to spend $30 on a cashmere blend for a pair of socks that few people but me and a bunch of internet strangers will ever see but damn it it makes me happy!

I wrote a whole post and kinja ate it :(

Blanky is starting to look like a blanky!

That’s stunning!

The name of the pattern is actually Twin Leaf Blanket!

I’m taking the month off from sock knitting because I have a baby blanket to knit. I’m starting to regret doing it in sport weight and increasing the size from the pattern but it’s going to be gourgous when it’s finally done.

Progress is being made. I just realized I have some hard deadlines in April for baby knitting so I’ll probably be taking a month off from sock knitting after I finish this pair.

You probably already know this but chewelry for adults is totally a thing!

Argh, that sounds frustrating! If it’s going to take you a while to get into a specialist then I would still recommend you try to get your primary to run as many labs as possible. That way the specialist will already have some data to work with in your first apointment.

Defninitly push for some basic lab tests right now, at least a CBC. If your white blood cell count is low you will get every little infection you come into contact with and if you’re anemic you may just be miserable and feel like you’re sick all the time.

Your posts always make me want to learn to cross stitch. How hard is it to learn?

Stigma and judgment. That’s why. The same reasons I’m scared to elaborate on my experiences even in this somewhat anonymous forum when I had an overwhelmingly positive expierance in the industry.

Why? Of course plenty are faked but it’s not a rare thing for a performer to actually orgasm.

Chai means tea and most black tea has a decent amount of caffiene in it. Maybe it’s the hot milk in Chai Lattes that’s putting you to sleep?

Finished the sparkle socks and started a new pair of green striped socks.

I’m so happy to have inspired you! This really made my day.

I love Powell’s but I get a bit grumbly about how crowded it is these days. It’s a Disneyland of books, complete with the lines.

I can’t remember if I posted last week but I finished the socks before my self imposed deadline.
