So apparently the night vision on my new phone is pretty damn good - without the night vision or flash this picture is basically just a black screen. I'll have to try the zoom at some point too.

Cat: I want on the bed, Dad 🥺 Me: Okay *rearranges legs to let him up* Cat: *immediately steps on the bed remote, then lays on my crochet* Me: ... I can't be mad at you, you're cute and hanging out with me 🥺

I think the pharmacy tech thought I was deaf, because she thanked me in sign language before I used any 😅 Maybe she said something I didn't hear so she assumed I couldn't 😅

Okay, I went to urgent care because I can't eat. They took one look and were like "yep, exactly what I thought with your described symptoms, here's a mouth rinse prescription, feel better soon!" I love it when things are easy, lol. Just hope the rinse works quickly.

So, if... hypothetically...a person had a sore, swollen spot on the roof of their mouth... and the teeth in front of that spot started to tingle and hurt... should that person worry about that?

Oh fuck. New phone has a way, *way* better camera than old phone. I'mma have to retake all my shop photos, aren't I.

New phone, finally finishing setup, woohoo!

So, a thought occurs. How concerned/worried should I be if the ER said I'm fine but is so insistent that I see a cardiologist that they found and scheduled a primary care doctor for me to facilitate that?

I looked up iridescent yarn even though I cannot afford anything right now and there is a place that makes custom cakes in single, variegated, and gradient colorways (the last 2 are mixed colors vs changing colors as you use the yarn) and with or without various colors of shimmer and I *want* it >_<

I should get up to go get some scissors to cut off my hospital band but I don't wanna fall down... Decisions... 🫤

Example socks! So if you were thinking that you might be interested in custom hand-knit socks, but weren't sure because you didn't know how they'd look, here you go. 2-color socks with basic purl patterning (color swapped because I had a very limited amount of this yarn, but they look cool anyway).

Gonna try my hand at micro crochet (crochet with thread, in this case specifically embroidery thread). If it works out, anybody interested in *extremely teeny tiny* stuffies?

Truth is, I'm not doing particularly well. My hand is healing but still injured, my fiance has been feeling poorly all week, and I woke up with a panic attack last night. I have time-sensitive shit that needs to get done. I know I tend to make light of my situation, but I need help. Please, >

Okay, according to a quick Google search, yes you can in fact have a panic attack in your sleep. Fuck.

... Can you have a panic attack in your sleep? Because I woke up suddenly with my heart racing like 20min ago and it's still doing it and my hands won't stop shaking...

Hand hurts worse today than yesterday 😭 I've had to take very long breaks from knitting today because my knuckles hurt too much. Why, I was getting better?!

THIS IS NOT BETTER HOLY SHIT.

Okay. I drafted a commission listing for custom socks. And it's gonna stay a draft unless somebody offers to buy some >_< (Base price 40 USD not incl shipping, but that gets you custom-knit socks with cushioning for the ball and heel of your foot and up to four stripe colors.)

Memo to self: stop making myself relearn the lesson about rescue lines. Just use them. Even though they're annoying. It's worth it for easier frogging. Just do it.

So apparently today was a "low threshold for overstimulation" day and I did not realize that until I had exceeded it 🙃

I know, I know, pics or it didn't happen. (Yes I do have tiny fairy feet, that's not an optional illusion, I can wear kids' shoes sometimes.)

Okay, it needs a few tweaks before it's perfect, and blocking (or at least washing) might help a bit more, but it actually fits enough to wear! WE HAVE ACHIEVED SOCK, THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

Bound off the second sock (though I have not yet cut yarn just in case). Moment of truth: will it fit properly this time??

A fun thing about being a combination knitter of socks is that when doing eye of partridge for the heel I get to do front loop, back loop, front loop, back loop every other row 😁 (This is a knitting nerd post. If you would like to learn the knitting nerd jargon, just ask. I promise I'll tell you.)

Btw this is not a joke. I could even do them in multiple colors. Pride flag socks, anybody? How much would y'all pay for custom-fit hand knit pride socks?

... I'm honestly finding sock knitting way more relaxing lately. I wonder if I should start offering socks in my shop? Would anybody buy them?

I HAVE AN OVERHEAD LIGHT AGAIN I'M SO FUCKING HAPPY
