Porch Troll 🏳️‍🌈 🐱🏴‍☠️

And finished exactly at noon. Then did smoke cleansing. Now rolled and set aside until 12am on the 18th for the rune embroidery on the New Moon.

Crone shawl #Knitting project update:

So, the fringe knotting is completed. I am now finishing up the top edge with a doubled running stitch. I didn't like how it kept rolling up. Once this is done in an hour, I'll smudge it with mugwort, sage, and cedar. Then set aside until New Moon for runes.

I have another 200 grams same lot, plus 400 grams a darker same.

New #Knitting side project.
Still experimenting with the yarn mom gave me. This is wool/viscose blend.

No idea really what I'm going to do with it. A vague, distant idea is just now forming. I may take all of these experiments and sew them together into a blanket or wall hanging... maybe.

I'm flowing through intuitive magic for this. Opening myself to see each stage and allowing the shawl's future self tell me in the Now what is needed to bring it into being.

I'll finish the final stage of the Crone shawl starting at midnight on the 18th which is the New Moon. Embroidered runes at the ends, name sigil centered back.

A lot of numerology has gone into every aspect.

Today's progress report on mom's Crone shawl #Knitting project.

Finished knotting the fringe onto the body of the shawl. I began the 2nd knot row, using half the strands from 2 adjacent tassels to form the next knot. Still have a bit of the bottom & 1 side left to do.

Identified something to fix.

Porch Troll is faintly pleased. Playfully flirted with convenience store clerk.

I then nuked it.💥

Me: How old are you?

Cute Clerk: 20

Me: *nods* That explains it.

Cute Clerk: What?

Me: The baby face.

Cute Clerk: 😫

Me: 😁 *as I walk away*

I have a 27 minimum to ride policy.

Thrilled the Otter blessing was successful. 😁

Today's progress on mom's Crone shawl #Knitting project.

2 skeins added today. It'll be another 1/2 skein to finish up.

Once done, it'll be doing the secondary knots between the tassles. Then that stage is done & I begin the embroidery final stage.

Possibly done entirely by Friday if no issues.

This Porch Troll blesses you with continuing good health and happiness.

Have a complementary otter with his ducky.

Alternatively: Because when everyone does well, has basic necessities & security, our collective well-being improves. We are only safe when literally everyone is safe. It lowers collective risks when individual risks are addressed collectively. This is evidence based reality, not wishful thinking.

Thank you. It's coming along quickly now.

Thanks! This was a request from my mom. It was her last project that she had planned for herself but her hands got so bad she couldn't. She had all the yarn. Originally, it would have been crochet but I only knit. She was ok with the switch of style.

The final stage after the fringe has been knotted is... embroidered runes in lavender Kashmir yarn (her color choice) at each side, 3 inches high. In the middle will be her name sigil 6 inches high.

She told me the basics of what she wanted. The shawl told me everything else, which she agreed with.

Crone shawl #Knitting project for my mom. Strands after knots average 7 inches, which any #Gay man can tell you is respectable! Ha! Trying hard to keep to every 3rd stitch placement of the knots.

Crone shawl #Knitting project, next stage. Doing a knotted fringe along 3 sides. Knotted at the base, then separated into 2 bundles and 1 bundle knotted to the one next to it. If I have enough length, I'll then do a 2nd knot back to the other side.

I just know that I have a lot of cutting to do.

Flash freeze and peat bog have some of the highest full preservation rates. I wasn't really aware until this morning's random thought that I had so much mummy information in brain storage. I didn't even mention the Buddhist honey method...

Today's random #ADHD "Oh, look, a squirrel!" thought:

What way would you prefer to become a mummy?

1) Flash freeze into permafrost.

2) Completely submerged into a peat bog.

3) Wrapped & placed on an Andean mountain top.

4) Scooped out, wrapped, & intense desert heat.

My brain baffles me often.

This is her memorial box. It stays at the Ancestral Feline Shrine.

Missing Psyche (5-16-04/3-8-22) so much. She took part of my soul with her. I kept part of hers within me.

Yeah. I remember her entire birth date. Just like I remember Eros is 3-7-23... exactly 1 year after she departed.

#Cats #Familiar #CatSky

High winds today. Barometric pressure change has flared the #CMT1A and #Fibro pain. Spending it in bed, dozing, playing Fallout 4, or watching videos depending on focus ability. The fall yesterday didn't help.

Oh well, just going to rest and wait things out.

#ChronicIllness

I've got the lots of stones covered... to my hubby's dismay! I've done Chakra work in the past. Right now, I'm doing PTSD/CPTSD therapy formally and supplementing with a variety of stones. I rely a lot on Blue Moonstone, Rose quartz, and Labradorite. Also Pearl, Hematite, and Black Tourmaline.

Shawl project for my mom is at the next stage. Just need to finish the edge before beginning the knotted fringe.

Overall, chuffed with how this is coming along. Far faster than I originally thought it would take for the #Knitting portion of it. Minimal flaws. Consistent tension, uniform stitches.

Update: Completed my inventory of scrapes from the fall: both knees, left ankle, right hand 3 fingers(middle, ring, & pinky) plus palm.

Only 2 fingers and right knee showing blood seepage.

I've wised up & took meds (pain, muscle relaxer, & anti-inflammatory). Remembered my Adderall & anti-anxiety.

Hopefully, this fulfills the accident quota the universe places on me in March every year... 🤞

Very much so!

I sometimes have heated conversations with the universe about grievances... at least it let's off steam and I never expect an actual response/change to what I'm bitching about currently.

It's why I give your posts ❤️. So you know you are seen. When my instincts trigger, I comment. Often gifs/pics. Low processing things that are brain candy, but positive and often humorous. 😝

I lurk in the shadows of my Torch Domain, watching quietly for moments a slight positive action could help.

Video games. 😆 Currently Fallout 4.

But, similarly to you, dealing with caretaking another. Mostly one day a week, sometimes up to three depending on doctor appointments and others.

So, this is why I have so much empathy for what you share. Same boat, B. Just seated in different section.

As I sit contemplating this latest fall, I'm staring suspiciously at the sky.

Am I the universe's experiment in how much pain can a human tolerate? How many varieties of pain? How about layers of types?

Seriously considering test subject revolt & refusal to cooperate. This is getting ridiculous!
