Life on the Road Update – 2:00
It took three years, but the covid finally got us. I am still recovering. Mr. Kickass (the spouse formerly known as Husbando) says he is doing fine. As we came out of our isolation and masking period, I was knocked over by a kidney stone like Hulk Hogan would clothesline Macaulay Culkin. That is not my joke. I heard that joke on a now defunct promotional podcast for the book “Southern Lady Code” and the joke was made by author Helen Ellis. A woman far funnier than I will ever be.
As covid, flu, and other respiratory yuckies ramp up, remember to Mask Up! It’s just polite. Projectn95 is my source for effective respirators.
Fashionably Riding – 9:27
We take joy in the return of sweater weather and the episode gets a title.

The ‘Mesmerizing Riddler‘ (ravelry link) by Mone Dräger (NOT a Rav link, but the website is in German) may be causing eyesight degradation, but it is worth it.
The ‘Baby Rose Blanket‘ (ravelry link) is complete.
The ‘2023 Sweater‘ (ravelry link) for Mr. Kickass has a completed back and front!
The ‘DNA Pullover‘ (ravelry link) has a completed back – but I need to get knitting if it is to be finished by the next opportunity to see the recipient.
Mom’s Yarn Stash: OMG – 24:18
Stalled – 24:40
The ‘DNA Pullover’ tried to trip me up one than once. It was definitely the sweater, and not ADHD/Dyscalculia brain being unable to differentiate left from right. Definitely. Hint: it is not the pattern nor the sweater.
Got a reminder from the ‘Mesmerizing Riddler’ Socks to read the entire pattern.
Standard Time: It’s about Time – 32:33
Scenic Route – 33:05
The roses in the garden carried on like the little troopers that they are, and got me thinking over and over again if, to cultivate energy and inspiration for knitting; one has to cultivate the opportunity for such energy and inspiration to exist.
