I’ve been busy. We are waiting on a regulator for the cooktop and then we can have the kitchen fully back. After that we finish the floor and rip out and redo the pantry - we are building pull outs to maximize the space available. We’ll order the wall cabinets next but they won’t be ready until March probably. It’s been a right pain in the ass but I already love it. We have so much more space, both for people and for things.

I’m in the throes of renovation hell. We are redoing our kitchen, slowly, and are stuck on the step where we remove the old flooring. Because whoever put this floor down fucking *glued* every plank down. I suppose you could call it wood; there’s a veneer of wood on top of layers of cardboard. It takes a heat gun, a pry bar, and a hammer we named John Henry and an hour to get one row of planks up. I’m tempted to just burn the place down it is that frustrating.

#ProgressToot: Bandana Cowl #4 by Placematker in ShiBui Haven yarn. I am loving the yarn and I’ll be happy for the cowl but it’s boooring. #Knitting #KnittersOfMastodon #KnittersOfLSG

New project: a cowl in yarn I am sure is made from unicorn farts. ShiBui something, I’ll have to check if anyone wants to know. Edit: it’s ShiBui Haven, I bought it at Webs online. #KnittersOfMastodon #KnittersOfLSG #Knitting

Done. Can’t get a shot of me wearing them because I need hands for that lol. #KnittersOfMastodon #KnittersOfLSG @Knitting

Finished one mitt, the thumb stitches on the other mitt are picked up and ready to go. I’ll be finished today. Woot! #KnittersOgLSG #KnittersOfMastodon @Knitting

#ProgressToot: just so I can flip through my toots and see how far I’ve come. If you’re a knitter you probably know why, but for my non-knitting followers (all 2 of you lmao) knitting is so slow, it’s hard to see progress. These were going to just be as long as I have yarn for but it seems I’ve found the TARDIS of skeins and these may be the start of a sweater. #KnittersOfLSG #KnittersOfMastodon

Ok. Next up, finishing these #FingerlessGloves I started a few weeks ago. I’m essentially winging a pattern from a stitch dictionary. I’m doing palm-up so I can run this yarn as close to gone as possible. #KnittersOfMastodon #KnittersOfLSG (deleted and redrafted because my dumb ass forgot the picture)

Done! Too many ends to weave in but I did it anyway. The yarn is from thefiberseed.com, the colors pop, it’s a little on the thicker side of fingering but not quite sport weight. It is oh so soft though and may have won my favorite sock yarn award. #KnittersOfMastodon #KnittersOfLSG #SockKnitting

I want to #Knit. My socks are in here. How can I ask her to move? #CatsOfMastodon #Knitting #LSG4Lyfe
