Sad today, feeling betrayed, and besieged by the SCOTUS leap back to the world of my youth, when friends died of desperate abortions.
First, a shout out to allies Franklin Habit and Steve Reed. I knew we could count on you. You didn't fail us.
Then Gladstone Mog sums up the day and the mood
It's May the Fourth, for those needing Star Wars footnotes.
And on the lifelong belief that even the worst days have glimpses of joy, here's beautiful steamed asparagus with the lemon butter sauce at the ready, with chicken and a green salad.
And a new sock with a new design. This is a tube sock with a spiral variation.
After a lot of arithmetic and testing, I settled on this, five knit, three purl repeat over an odd number of stitches. The odd number and the even repeat number cause the spiralling to happen.
This yarn is very soft and grainy in appearance, so stitch definition is hard to come by, but seems to be working here. And it's a lot easier to keep track of than the previous six knit two purl variation I did in earlier versions.
Non knitters: you can wake up now.
Today's one foot in front of the other. This afternoon there's a a fun interval, a Downton Abbey movie at the library. So I'll do that.
Meanwhile to everyone in the world under siege one way or another, try to be like Ukraine.
Fight back the forces of darkness at home and abroad.
Happy day despite all, everyone. We won't let ignorance and cruelty win.
