  • but it’s been at least a couple of weeks since cast-on which should tell you all you need to know about rate of completion 😅

    Pshhh! That’s nothing. I’ve got a grocery bag that I started over a year ago, and a pumpkin bag I started about 7 months ago…i swear I’ll get to them…after I find where I put the patterns I wrote…:no_mouth:

    Definitely requires a bit more concentration than I’ve been able to give lately, so I just keep defaulting to the socks instead.

    Oof! Pain and the digestive issues from trying to get my pains taken care of have me in a daze most days. It’s tough, but I am making headway…slooooowly, heh!


    Am working on another duster for my swiffer thingies…I still don’t feel up to recording a how-to yet, though. I’ll get to it…i’ll get to it.

    Last night, I made a tiny ray out of this yarn, too.













  • First test using cornstarch.

    Caramelize the following.
    1/4 c. Sugar
    2+1/2 Tbls. Water

    Then whisk in a little at a time
    1 c. Water
    1 Tbls. Cornstarch
    1 tsp. Vanilla
    pinch of salt

    bring to a boil then remove from heat mixing in
    2 tsp. Ground unsalted sunflower seeds
    1 tsp. Ground black walnuts.

    So far not too bad. The sweetness is perfect (i’m guessing I used about two or three tablespoons of the sauce on a buckwheat and sunflower seed pancake). Will have to wait til tomorrow to see how it cures overnight.

    There was one hiccup. I mixed in the cornstarch into the water, and the water really needed to be boiling (which wasn’t possible with the cornstarch). Though, so far it seems fine. So maybe it won’t be a problem.

    I’ve had ideas for cambrian knits for a looooong time, heh. Bad marriage, getting cussed out by a son for knitting, and chronic pains have made thinking loads of fun, yeesh, but I have made enough to know it’s very much possible.

    3 sizes of trilobites (and, unfortunately the only pattern I was able to finish and publish, but I do need to record a video on attaching the heads).

    Ammonite (Almost had it finished oh so long ago. Luckily, I do remember the important parts of making it).

    Also, I’ve had halucigenia and other Xenusiids in mind, crinoids, tullymonstrum, and opabinia as well. I did have an idea for writing a larger anomalocaris, but it turns out someone was ahead of me, hah.

    Unfortunately, it’ll be a miracle if I can ever finish any of them…My deltoid and bicep can hurt immensely with the small movements while knitting.
