@InspectorCaracal ...I want to write a story about a mermaid who writes reviews of the various docks in her area for the edification of other mermaids, like a restaurant critic, and call it Pier Review.

Adventures in baby knitting: an Elizabeth Zimmermann baby sweater in Tale and Tendril's wool/bamboo sock yarn. I'm putting a lot of faith in the "babies come in various sizes" part of the instructions, but this sweater is VERY stretchy so I think it'll be ok.

Hey @phildini my home feed hasn't loaded for the past five days and unfortunately my tech skills don't extend much beyond "log out, clear cookies, log back in."

Socks!

Hermione's Everyday Socks (free on Ravelry) in a German yarn brand given to me by a friend. I do not read German. I'm pretty sure the yarn name is Opal Nightlife and the yarn brand is Zwerger Garn, but Garn may be part of the yarn name.
