#ThreeGoodThings
This is hard today y'all, I am *struggling* right now.
1. I have a very supportive husband and I'm leaning on him right now
2. I'm trying to be proactive regarding my career and that is improving my mood somewhat
3. I'm making good progress on the Sorceress Scarf, hopefully it'll be done yet this week

#ThreeGoodThings
1. I finished my Nurmilintu #knit shawl last night (Rav link - https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/nurmilintu)
2. I'm making good progress on my other projects
3. I'm enrolled in and making good progress with a few online professional development certificates

I may or may not have just #knit during a zoom meeting in an attempt to keep my raging "resting bitch face" to a minimum. I think it worked.

#ThreeGoodThings
1. I am 4 rows (and the picot bind off) away from being done with my current #knit shawl project
2. I totally botched the improvised recipe for this week's breakfast bowls, but they're making fantastic "smoothies" so it's still a win
3. J and I are finalizing plans for our anniversary trip next month

BONUS - "fear my beans!!!"

#ThreeGoodThings
1. we had a super productive weekend and I feel rested and ready for my week
2. the decision to rip the shawl back to where I knew it was good was the right decision; it looks a million times better
3. one of my friends who is a spinner is going to spin some roving that's been in my collection for years

#ThreeGoodThings
1. we got some of the errands run yesterday after work because the weekend is going to be more than busy (in a good way)
2. it's raining again and we desperately need it
3. I think I finally figured out how to rip out, yet salvage, a #knit shawl that has lace inserts and somehow went horribly wrong

Random question - does anyone else make a weekly menu? I find that it helps immensely because it cuts down on extra trips to the store, helps me use up the fresh produce I have on hand, and gets me to be more creative. Thoughts from others?

#ThreeGoodThings
1. I made the most amazing "veggie mess" to go with our salmon last night - not really a stir fry but similar, used anything I could find that seemed appropriate and it was awesome
2. today is CSA bag day which means more great local produce comes home with me
3. looking at my dance card for Saturday and it's packed - looking forward to it

BONUS - I'm just past the 1/2way point with the Sorceress Shawl #knitting project

Morning y'all! I took a brief, spontaneous break from screens over the long weekend. I missed you all, but I had a good time. Photo collage as tax. 😉
#ThreeGoodThings
1. it's raining today
2. I had a really relaxing and productive long weekend
3. I'm almost to the 1/2 way point with the Sorceress Scarf (top pic) #knitting #knit #cosoknitting

#ThreeGoodThings
1. I work for someone who knows that if he really doesn't want the answer, he shouldn't ask the question. And then he listens when I ask.
2. I learned to do the mosaic #knitting so that I can lead a demo at an education day event that my local #knit and #crochet guild is having in the fall, and all of that makes me happy
3. tonight is date night, tomorrow is farmer's market, guild meetup, then friends over for dinner and games

BONUS - I don't go back to work until 7/5 😎

Not bad for my first time trying mosaic #knitting 😎

#ThreeGoodThings
1. I found a nice free pattern on Ravelry for making a mosaic #knit coaster yesterday and it's going quite well
2. I'm working on campus today and managed to get here and in the building before the torrential downpour started
3. I feel *fierce* today, which is good because I'm fully prepared to stand my ground during a meeting

My bff just asked me to make her a scarf and I'm all "challenge accepted!!!" 😎 She wants it to be in blues and be snuggly - all other details are up to me. So I ask - #knit and #crochet people out there, what is your favorite pattern for a scarf?

#ThreeGoodThings
1. I've been making good progress on some projects at work
2. I get to see some of my work friends tomorrow because we're doing a "mini" retreat - we'll hopefully get to see our new offices then as well
3. we finally got some rain this morning

BONUS - I'm going to watch a webinar this afternoon so I plan to work on a charity #knitting project while I watch

I feel seen

#catsofcoso

#ThreeGoodThings
1. I started a new #knitting project last night and I'm learning how to do the herringbone stitch - I love it
2. we're making plans to have some friends over this weekend for dinner and board games
3. the #crochet valance for the cat suite is coming along nicely; the yarn is striping in a very lovely way (pic to come later)

#gratitude is a mindset y'all, and it's a beautiful place to be ❤️

I am giggling like a small child because one of my faculty sent an updated schedule document and chose to abbreviate "assignment" as "ass."

😂

#ThreeGoodThings
1. I finished my latest #crochet kimono using yarn I picked up in 2021 (no pattern, my own experiment)
2. I got to hang out with my #kni and #crocheting friends this weekend and J and I had dinner with friends that night
3. I've got 2 new projects lined up to get started that will both involve new techniques for me

#ThreeGoodThings
1. the ring I ordered with Jason's birthstone has arrived and I get to pick it up today
2. we got our first CSA (community supported agriculture) bag yesterday and enjoyed the most amazing salads for dinner using lettuce that was wicked fresh
3. I was able to walk 1.25 miles on the treadmill again this morning

Trying to prepare myself, both mentally and "physically," for my return to working on campus 4 days/week. I worked full time on campus for 19 years before #covid happened, but now having done #workfromhome since then the change feels weird.

I know myself well enough to know that a good plan and starting to establish some routines now will help make the transition smoother.
