Cosmos

I thought I'd make a handful of mittens for the winter, but I've been so happy with one pair I made awhile ago that I've just never bothered. Took awhile to convince myself, but I finally made another pair! I really like these simple ribbed gloves because the thumb gusset has a nice clean increase section to continue the rib which looks quite nice. This yarn is an alpaca and silk mix, so it's nice and warm with a bit of sheen and I won't have to worry about the alpaca stretching out over time!

I feel like we really lost something when we started looking at writing as a reader-centric product meant to appeal to the desires of a specific audience rather than a writer-centric approach of someone writes whatever particular thing particular compels them/whatever weird thing the demons in their head want to talk about, and people out there who are also compelled, and/or relate, find that writing. A lot of discussions of writing really center around what readers want rather than a writer's exploration. Sometimes as a reader I don't know what I want. I click on a fic or pick up a book I'm not sure about but that looks interesting, and I love it. Reading what I expect to get is it's own joy, but we always need to expand our horizons and not get mad at creators for not always writing what we want/expect.

I got TWO shinies this morning in pokemon sleep so I drew them!

I didn't even realise the Glaceon was shiny too until the feeding phase djfgd

I still have to wash and block this easy knit triangle shawl. Malabrigo rios is one of my favorite wool yarns. So soft and warm and lovely to work with.

Fingerless gloves made with cascades yarn in one of their blends of silk and merino wool from a LYS. My first attempt at a thumb gusset, they turned out great! Quick story: I was knitting these to distract myself from being 9months pregnant and knowing that baby was coming any minute. I finished them 2 days before baby came.
