Continuing some socks I wanted to make because a Knit Picks sale on Felici handed me a "Gotta get it" colorway.
This is Elementary Watson pattern by Sherry Menton using Knit Picks Felici fingering weight yarn in color "Silent Film". There should be enough for me to get mid-calf socks out of it.
This has the sixth pattern repeat, second with the expanding gussets for the fleegle heel as marked by the ladybug stitch markers.

Continuing a baby blanket for a friend.
The pattern is a monogrammed blanket out of Erika Knight's "Simple Knits for Cherished Babies" and my usual yarn is Knit Picks Shine Worsted in colors Dandelion (bright yellow) and Pea Pod (bright green).
I have completed 110 rows, I have started using the green yarn and have started purling in the Monogram. I am just doing a green stripe with purled monogram because I figure it'll be sturdier than intarsia.

Continuing a shawl. And this is a rare moment where I am actually knitting a brand new pattern: Octave by Dee O'Keefe. This now has 60 pattern repeats and has gone from magenta red to violet-blue. I have also passed the halfway point according to weight and started decreasing.
It's going to be a symmetrical crescent shawl using a cake of gifted Schoppel-Wolle Zauber Flower Pro in color Kunterbunt (which is very fun to say).

The pattern is a monogrammed blanket out of Erika Knight's "Simple Knits for Cherished Babies" and my usual yarn is Knit Picks Shine Worsted in colors Dandelion (bright yellow) and Pea Pod (bright green).
I have completed 90 rows, and then it will be 9 more rows and then I switch to green yarn and start to purl in the Monogram. I am just doing a green stripe with purled monogram because I figure it'll be sturdier than intarsia.

° apparently, if you do body weight squats while holding a pole so you can keep your back straight, it lets you use your glutes and upper leg muscles a lot more while keeping pressure off your knees (which you use more of you lean forward while squatting to keep from falling backwards)
°° tiktok, reels, YouTube Shorts, etc.

"Ah. I'm gonna try that "lean back squat° that was being showcased by a man with THE BIGGEST ASS in peach tights as a joke on VidShare°°"
"Ah, I actually really feel that in my thighs, but not my knees! Cool!"
"Ooooooooof."

Really interesting podcast on new ways to identify a particularly annoying type of malaria carrying mosquito: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/30/9/24-0444_article
"If the identifier turns from pink to yellow, your whole malaria mitigation strategy needs to change."

Wow, GaPower got that bill out to me QUICK! Like, 3 minutes after power clicked back on.

Well THAT was unfun: Just got power back after it went out last night during a winter storm.
Thankfully, we keep the house pretty cool already (66-68f with space heaters in places without beds/blankets to ward off occasional chills) and in 12 hours of wet/dark/still/~32f outside, the house only dropped to 59f.
I am not sure how bad it would be if really windy or 15f outside, and I don't wanna find out. Just happy I slept comfortably through the whole event.

The ONE time the state and local government went "We already had several late openings/closures because it MIGHT snow, we're gonna chance it this time" we got sticking snow come at noon that made EVERY parent and person at work try to rush home and hit the streets at the same time. It literally froze a double-strength Rush Hour. In ATLANTA.
It was terrible. Saturday night live made fun of us.

And because really bad ice/snow storms that come with lingering cold temperatures that keep everything solid after sunrise are, like, once in a decade occurrences (even with climate change). We only really keep sand and salt and winter-weather clearing equipment near major interstate flyover interchanges so that people just driving through don't get stuck here and add to the problems.
But that is also why we have lots of "Keep schools closed because cold" stories every year: Snowpocalypse.

And the south doesn't get "snowed in". We get Iced in.
If there is snow, we don't really have sand/salt trucks or plows to clear accumulation so everything gets packed down and slightly melted and frozen overnight into a really dangerous slick that nobody should be driving on except emergency vehicles and line trucks.
We're also temperate enough to more frequently just get freezing rainstorms that leave an inch of ice covering everything for a day or three.

I have made the run to the grocery store and gotten bread, milk, and Eggs as we have snow predicted tomorrow and it's a Southern tradition.
The joke is always "What, do you want French toast when snowed in!? Are you going to eat milk sandwiches!?" But in reality, if we're snowed in and the power is on, egg bread and milk make a billion different things... And if we're snowed in and the power is off, bread is for sandwiches and the eggs and milk can keep outside or in the garage.

I'm going to need a LOT of memes where Trump and Musk are Romy and Michelle.
Especially the "Not until you admit that I'm the Mary, and you're the Rhoda!" dream sequence.
But Musk and Trump rolling into a DC Diner with tight and clean French roll hair asking for a business women's special too.

'You'll get more conservative as you age"
"No, I've gotten more liberal... Definitely more liberal. I am just convinced that America will always go for the bigger asshole so it's easier to shore up my personal defenses against whatever disagreements I have with that asshole and question my ability to help enact real change and don't want to be around too many doomslingers that are quick to accuse me of not being helpful enough any time I question the efficiency of whatever short sighted...
Oh"
