The dog caught a baby squirrel but maybe just sort of booped it a lot and was lying on the ground staring at it when we found him.
My partner didn’t want to leave it potentially injured and alone & we couldn’t find a panicked squirrel mom so…
We have a pet squirrel for the night I guess.

No matter which way the arrow points, this headband is going in the right direction! Knit back and forth, Arrowband features a simple 2 row pattern repeat, in both written and chart form. It’s designed with over 4” of negative ease for a snug fit that allows for stretch over time. Arrowband is easy to modify, and will work well with various yarns.
listening to an #NPR interview w someone famous who now has kids & is rly big on Being A Mom & said something like "everything just gets more real when you have kids, like u look at things & think 'oh, is this the meaning of life?!'" & once again i am just baffled by wtf some people DID w their time/brains before procreating. like..awesome that you wanted kids & you have them now, but it's alarming the level of dismissal of all else.
