Okay, DPNs are scary, but I finished my hat!! #knitting
Scenes from my bike commutes in May. Trading a car commute for a Brompton has been the best decision for my mental health #bikedc

Current #knitting projects!

Gray is my first hat and knitting in the round. My local yarn shop is doing a class and the first session was last night, so we did the round join and started on the ribbing. Pattern is Cardo Holiday Hats and the yarn is Plymouth Yarn Chunky Merino Superwash (also in blue).

The bright blue is my first lace project. The pattern is Tin Can Knits Gothic Lace Scarf and the yarn is Sugar Bush Yarns Crisp. I started this with multiple different yarns, but this 4-ply seemed the least likely to accidentally split while working the new stitches. I'm hoping that if I block this aggressively it'll open up more; it's not super visible even in person.

The multi color is a kit from hooks & needles subscription box (I decided to try it for my birthday last year; not a huge fan). The pattern is Sunset Swirl Tote with their merino charm yarn. Since the first step is making three squares, it's a good project for commuting on metro (can literally drop and pick up at any point, and not really pay attention to it). I got 2 subscription boxes and found the patterns uninspiring, so stopped it.

Sold my trainer bike yesterday, since I no longer have space for a bike trainer setup (and the apartment building has a gym with stationary bikes). We are now back down to (counts on fingers) having 4 bikes in the apartment.

I'm on the fence about selling the gravel bike, but am emotionally attached to my road bike. Carl is keeping his ebike and the brompton is my commuter. So we'll have at least 3 for the foreseeable future.

Commuting on the brompton (to the green line) is fun and I'm enjoying it! #bikeDC #metro #commute

Took the new bike to my parents place, mom took a photo of me riding
Yesterday was new bike day! I have a GORGEOUS Brompton. Unfortunately the weather has been absolute garbage and I probably won't get to ride her until next week (I did test ride some Brompton and Terms, so I know what I'm getting into). #bikeDC #brompton #carFree
Spotted this sign at tonight's restaurant. I feel like it's from a different era in American history
Cherry blossom metro train! #dc #commute #wmata

We went to the Capital Jewish Museum today, to see their comic book exhibit. It was good! I recommend it if you're in #DC (ends March 23).

Carl felt that antiZionist Jewish voices weren't represented and he was disappointed in that.

Romeo what are you doing
