Here is the progress on my double knit polka dot glitch cowl knitting project. I cast on October 20, 2022, and it sits in the car. I work on it when I’m waiting, which is typically for a hour a day, five days a week. I listen to an audio book as I knit and can get around four rows done an hour. I have approximately 28 hours into the project at this point. I am not a fast or intent knitter. Although I prefer crochet for speed, the squish on this double knit is sublime.
Here is my submission for Fluffy butt Friday. My hens seem healthy currently, and even Magic’s derrière has clean feathers. In the picture they are tucking in to their daily scattering of dried grubs.
Well that snuck up on me. I had plans to lay out a lovely leather carving for the third anniversary of my blog, but the time suddenly loomed so I whipped up a quick stamped leather oblong instead. Three years can be an awkward age.
My eldest’s favorite shirt is a Medusa print t-shirt her Aunt gave her around four years ago. We recently bought her a second one, since the first image was wearing away, but she still wears the first one, and it has become creepy cool the way the print has worn off.
We bought the new shirt here (so I have a reference when I need to rebuy it in another four years.)
We were having high winds when I did my chicken camera check the other day. My hens were keenly aware of the unsettling howling wind noises outside their coop.
There are eight chickens in this picture, although you can only see the shadow of the two that get the prime back corner spot. This is their usual configuration at night, but without the strained intensity.
