Meee tooo

Probably because I am barely on here, haha. Trying to check in more often though!

You can do it!!

My 8-yo and 10-yo are super into a bunch of fun sci-fi graphic novel series: HiLo, Astro-Nuts, Catstronauts, Cleopatra in Space, Star Scouts, Zita the Spacegirl, and others I’m sure I’m forgetting.

If you recognize both my coffee cup and my coaster, there’s a good chance we’d be friends. #amwriting

I feel this! Part of it is that I WANT that pile of heavy wool on my lap in the winter…

Oh nooo

This is so real, haha. I’ve learned to keep my phone on the counter right next to the shower so I can leap out of there and hurriedly jot down all the dialogue ideas I had before they disappear.

Please enjoy this pic of my cat desperately trying to distract me from writing words (and it worked! I stopped and took the picture!). #amwriting

Gorgeous!

It really does have Twitter 10 years ago vibes.

Hi friend! I like it here so far!

You too Paola! There are a lot of cool people here, apparently. 😎

Makes a lot of sense!

I just discovered #showmeyourknits and this week’s prompt is cables—my favorite! I’m currently writing up (well, when I’m not getting distracted, ahem) the pattern for this baby/child sweater with this fun twisty cable running up the side:

I’ll keep an eye out for it!

Er... why? It's definitely part of the templates for several yarn companies I've worked with. "Block to desired measurements" instead?

Ohh, that’s so cool!

Good to know! I'm absolutely here for a more realistic look at knit designer life, ha. I'm investigating starter packs now—what a cool idea!

Dipping my toes in here! I miss nice, supportive writer Twitter and nice, supportive Ravelry from 10+ years ago, and this seems like it could potentially be a good replacement for both...?
