I just learned that someone I know and love has taught herself to knit. Toys! I can knit toys on the loom but never learned to make them on needles. So I asked where she learned. Here are the YouTubes I plan to follow and her Works In Progress.

The hat on the orange KB loom proved to be a promise of trouble. I knew I wouldn’t like how to close the crown. Decreasing on this loom would be impossible. So I frogged. Now it is on circular needles.
Three hats and one pair of slipper socks. I wish it were no hats. And I’m seriously considering frogging the socks and mounting them on a larger loom or needles as the yarn is too thick for this to be fun.
I hope you have a great week.
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is โa word that contains a silent letter.โ Choose a word that contains a silent letter and use it in your post, or write about words with silent letters in general. Enjoy!
Though I wanted to actually write something creative today, I found it rather tough after working on my other projects. Oh, and we are busy watching Moonfall and now Night Sky ( both quite interesting) I’m too tired and distracted.
Here are the experiment hats.
The needle-knitted hat turned out a little too big and the Flexee a little too small. The Flexee colors made it easy to do a two-by-two ribbing. In the needle-knitted hat, I found it easy to find where the purls were and where the knits were, so I did a one-by-one ribbing.
I loved Moonfall. (HBOMAX) My favorite kind of movie!
And I am quite into Night Sky on Amazon Prime.
FINALLY! After many frogs and tinks the needle hat is finished.
The socks are all in the position last seen. I guess my hands needed a hat break.
I’m loving, well, loving hating my treadmill. I know if I keep it up I will make healthy progress.
That’s it for now. Wish I had progress on any writing. But we celebrate what we can.
My condolences to my friends across the pond.
Improbable Magic for Cynical Witches by Kate Scelsa
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I don’t know who recommended this, but it was an insightful read. Kate uses Tarot Major Arcana to tell a piece of a teen’s confusing life. I love how we learn the cards as a story unto themselves and how it applies to Elenor’s past.
Kate Sclesa is a young adult novel, and the romances cause angst. But I loved climbing into Elenor’s thoughts and seeing how she caused her worries to grow.
Stacey Glemboski (Narrator) brought this Audible version alive with her voice acting.
Quite an enjoyable and inspiring read.
Remember I told you I ordered a diamond painting for cheap from Wish? Yeah. This might be fun for a child or when I run out of good DPs. Here are the pictures.
I’ll finish opening when I’m done with my current WIP. I figure it will take a couple days. In the end I’ll probably toss it. I hope I’m surprised and can add it to my lighthouse collection.

Hope you had a wonderful three-day weekend and celebrated a thoughtful, safe Labor Day, for those here in the states. And for those elsewhere, I hope you had a great few days.
It is Fall here. 94-100 degrees during the day but leaves are littering the porch and driveway proving a huge drop at night. We have hit high 30s (F)! Can you believe it? Really, this time I’m ready to let go of what used to be my favorite season. With no chance to swim and overwhelming flies and moths, bring on the chill!
So what are my latest WIPs? Many will look familiar but believe it or not, much progress has happened.
I’m feeling much better having crackled my back by moving pillows. It quit hurting. The bladder infection seems gone. No more pain. No temp. Here’s what I took besides drinking tons of water.
What are your WIPs? Oh, and
