@Coffee_and_Salt I cast on around lunchtime yesterday, but thanks to the dark of the solstice I was in bed by 10:45pm, otherwise I might have been able to finish last night. :) Finishing it off this morning was a cozy way to spend the time with my coffee.

@Coffee_and_Salt Nearly finished! Just need to shape the crown. Not long now.

I love these quick projects. They feel so satisfying to go from cast on to cast off in just a couple of days. I've done larger pieces, but these are a great morale booster, especially with these short days and lots of darkness.

I just love this #DebbieBliss baby cashmerino, it knits up so beautifully (even before blocking).

@Yarnchick Aren't they? She chose them, they match her hair and her glasses. Very excited to see them knitting up so quickly. I'll post the finished product once it's all blocked!

@amarand haha - nope! :)

Cast on for my BFF's new #KnittedHat yesterday. Should be finished today, and then ready for blocking. After not picking up the sticks for several years, it's been nice to see how quickly I'm remembering that I'm actually a solidly decent #KnittingWitch - something I taught myself (thanks youtube!) 15 years ago just after my tiny human was born as a way to keep myself busy while I was nursing.

@sqlcheesecake I wouldn't survive any of the internet without my beloved password manager (1Password).

To everyone celebrating, may you have a bright and happy Hanukkah filled with love, laughter, and good fortune. 🕎

We saw Matilda the Musical (on film) on opening day and it was a true delight. I’ve said it multiple times since then: this feels like the absolute best stage-musical-to-screen adaptation I’ve probably *ever* seen (and, as a musical theatre performer and lover, I've seen a LOT).

12/10. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Go see this.

Personally, I can’t wait for it to be available to buy so I can watch it again and again.

@thedisasterautist Thanks! It's a lot of work but I love my orange. :) I call it my "comic book hair".

Another from the same #Photoshoot.

AKA: "what happens when your friend needs to test their #Boudoir studio setup so you throw a few drapey things into a bag with some #Fluevog shoes and see what happens". 😂

It's another chilly day in the Bay, so I'm throwing it back to a much warmer day when I wasn't feeling the need to wear quite so many layers.

One of my favourite photogs to work with, Carle Photography, has since moved to NoLa, but this was a fantastic shoot at their studio in Oakland to help them test out their new set.

@zim2918 I love this idea - I'd never considered a video model sitting situation, it seems like such a departure from the 3D of an in-person sitting. How did you find it, as an artist?

Another "coffee and (reusable) eye masks" morning here in chilly San Francisco. Despite the relative humid climate of the Bay Area, these winter months mean extra hydration for the skin. Since my eye masks are reusable, I don't feel guilty using them every day - sometimes twice a day if I'm feeling extra fancy!

(they're these, for anyone curious: I ADORE them: https://go.shopmy.us/p-700078)

I made my BFF a simple knitted hat a decade ago. Last week, they asked me if I could make them another because they wear the first one so often and love it so much.

So - guess I'm picking up the sticks again! I even managed to track down the same yarn and find the pattern I used.

It's been a hot minute, but I'm excited.

Photos of the hat just after I'd finished it (that's me modeling it) Jan 2012.

@Agatha I'm not superstitious, but I do believe that a drop of my blood makes everything I make just *that* much more special. 🤣

When a person keeps an entire collection of their hair dye colours on-hand at all times, any day can be a "refresh the hair colour" day. Even a Monday in December.

And remember, all you hep cats and cool chicks, bright rainbow hair is dry clean only: shampoo as infrequently as possible (but don't skip the conditioner) to keep your colours bright and long-lasting.

@Agatha My personal experience as a sewist: if I haven't bled because of it, is it *really* a sewing project?

Also: excited to get to test out my #HexingAid in a movie theatre setting.

Also also: Void bless movie theatres with assigned lounger seats. The Best.

Headed to Matilda the Musical movie today - can't wait! I've loved the musical on stage, with musical by the astonishingly good #TimMinchin, and thrilled now to see it on film for the first time.
