It's been a minute

It's been too long, longer than anticipated. Last month was pretty rough. I wanted to post, but I couldn't muster up the motivation to do so. Besides, I needed to attend to my waning mental health. As it turns out, going a month without my stimulant medication really fucking sucks. It was naive of me to think that I could make it through the month without meds. I figured that since I had gone my…

Have you ever...?

Have you ever looked at a work of art and felt inexplicably drawn to it? I have, many times. Although, it's been a while since I've felt this way. The last time was probably three years ago when I first visited NYC. This time, I was at the gym, scrolling through my RSS feed when I came across this post from Lilly Ashton where she shares pages from her sketchbook. One in particular stuck out to me:…

A list of things I'd like to knit

I forgot my knitting at home. I should know better by now then to leave the house without it. It's a welcome distraction on a slow workday like today. Although, I really should be taking it easy on my hands. The thing is, I have a lot I want to knit this year, and, as it is, I'm already very behind schedule. In all honesty, I know I won't be able to get to everything on this list before the year…

WIPs - Knitting the Groovy Tank Pt. 1

A photo of the yarn I'll be using for this project. Over the weekend, I started knitting a gauge swatch for the Groovy Tank by Midsummer Knits. I'm using Ritual Dyes sock yarn, Maiden, in the colorway Hyacinth. It's such a pretty color with tones of blue and purple. I'm not a big fan of the texture, though. For a sock yarn, it's not that soft, but it sure is stretchy! I'm hopeful that once it's…

Learning to ride a bike all over again

A photo of my brand-new bike, taken after this morning's ride. Last week, I bought my first ever road bike. I picked it up late Wednesday night with some help from a friend. We barely managed to get the bike to fit into the back of my 2023 Chevy Bolt. Turns out, my car is a lot smaller than I thought. I should probably mention that I've wanted a bike for years now. It was never a top priority,…
