The cats of #Amsterdam are helping me, a catless person, to participate in Caturday today.

I learned about the Cocoknits Method for sweaters at the same time I had a sweater in hibernation because it looked like it wasn't going to fit. Frogged it to redo as a cocoknits sweater. But, sigh, I don't had the needle size I need, and there is only one Dutch distributor for Chiaogoo and the local stores are out of the needle I need, so I'm going to have to wait. Which I am very bad at. #knitting

We need new dishes at our #hackerspace and I was just making a case for getting Correlle, and now I'm wondering why we ever stopped using it. I think these days we consider them "cheap", and sure, they're inexpensive, but how does this not describe high quality:

🍽️ they last forever without chipping

🍽️ lightweight

🍽️ thin so you can stack a lot in a small space

🍽️ come in lots of patterns

What's not to love?

The neighbors' turkey and chickens showed up while we were picking apples, so we shared.

The strongest punch against the biggest Nazi is your vote in your local elections. Proud to be submitting our absentee ballots today 🇺🇸

Balsa Man!

First time in five years we're skipping the burn. So instead we're watching it on the live stream in recliners with tea and knitting in a climate controlled room with no dust. Might even take a shower after just cause I can. 🍵
