A path made of round concrete stones leads through a wetland of water lilies and duckweed to a grove of trees under a blue sky filled with white clouds

A moment of calm for you.
Breathe deep.

For this week's #showmeyourknits - I don't do a lot of baby knits; this little critter is the most recent, and I am told the recipient carries them around everywhere, which makes me very happy.

Okay, I just spit coffee all over my keyboard. No more work for me today!

I will for sure!

I love this. It should be waiting for me when I get home from Shetland. I have ideas already.

The iron and glass ceiling of the old train station in Aberdeen. The intricate pattern looks like lace.

A signpost with two blue and white arrows. One reads "City Centre/Train Station/Bus Station" and the other reads "Ferry to Northern Isles."

A rusty square iron manhole cover with a dappled pattern and stamps reading "Broads Silent Knight 70C."

A cabin aboard the Shetland ferry HMS Hjaltland. Two bunks with white bedding are on either side of a table beneath a windows looking out onto the North Sea.

Greetings from Aberdeen, on the way to Shetland! Posting from the ferry at stupid o'clock, can't wait to get to Lerwick!

Is this Kenny Loggins? I cannot WAIT to see the results.

She's beautiful. 🩷

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

A bunch of lilac blossoms in a clear glass vase sits on a wooden table.

Himself got a bit over-zealous with the tree trimming today, so I had to rescue these poor blossoms. They do make the house smell amazing.

This week's #showmeyourknits is for #LYSDay , so here is my home away from home, Gosh Yarn It! in Kingston, PA. Funny story, I bought the yarn for this sweater at the height of the pandemic in 2020; Jill, the shop owner, kindly set it out on her front porch for me to pick up! I love my LYS. 🧶

Jetpants? Like sweatpants, but denim.

I got a hanging lamp from a local craftsperson a few years ago; it uses a solar garden lamp as the light source.

Fair point. I'll think about it for the next sweater.

I will eventually suck it up and wash it, but the desire to wear it right after I finish it is very strong...

How about round yoke sweaters??? 😉
My own is that not everything needs to be washed to be blocked. Sweater made of 8 100 gram skeins? I'm steam blocking that bad boy. I wouldn't be able to lift it wet.

Oh, thank you for the earworm... 😜
