Knitting
May. 3rd, 2026 06:28 pmI got to the decreases last night. Tonight I should start then.
It's weird working on a bathing suit with different yarn. The fingering weight is knitting nice and densely. I think I'm getting the right gauge. I'm going with it now though, no matter what!
I'm s little concerned about length, like I am with all vintage patterns. The back would be easy to make a little longer, but I'm not quite sure how to deal with it in the front. Hopefully I won't have to change anything...

This theme runs for the entire month. If you have any questions, just ask!
New glasses!
May. 2nd, 2026 06:02 pmI decided to make the most of my insurance and in about a week I should have light purple, cat's eye reading glasses with nice progressive lenses I'm excited!
Progress!
May. 1st, 2026 07:19 pmI've actually made bathing suit progress! I finished the increases on the back of the shorts today, and if I knit tonight, I might get to the decreases.
Earlier tonight...
Apr. 30th, 2026 08:07 pmI dropped a snackie on Poppy's stomach. He didn't notice. Tom did. I thankfully got snackies to Tom before he ate the one on Poppy's stomach. That would've been bad...
A year!
Apr. 29th, 2026 05:30 pmI just had an eye appointment, and I don't need another one for a year!
I have a prescription for reading glasses. I want glasses with a clear top and higher quality lenses than store bought reading glasses. I'm not a fan of peering over them and am used to progressive lenses anyway. I can get away without using then a lot, which is nice.
Now, for the dilation to wear off. Thankfully only one eye, but I'm so sick of dilation!

I think...
Apr. 28th, 2026 09:17 pmI think the size 0 needles are right for the bathing suit. Each row seems very small! But it seems like it's going to be a nice weight.
