sometimes when I’m grading for a new pattern, I think to myself β€œwow I love math. math is always right & is so dependable.” πŸ€“

other times, I want to break up with math & question everything I ever knew πŸ˜‚

my friday night plans after a rather long work week include finishing onyx storm, knitting on my avenue vest, & baking a focaccia 😌 what are you up to?

I don’t usually do a lot of gift knits (because there’s too many things I want to make for myself & not enough time!) but I’ve been dying to make socks for my husband so he can feel the unexpected joy & comfort of wearing handknit socks 🧢✨

behold: the book that taught me how to knit when I was 10. I remember getting this at a school book fair & thinking to myself how incredible it would be to know how to knit πŸ₯Ή
