Reallyfast
*reallyfast* I wanted to check in and say that deadline knitting is moving forward. *reallyfast* My new Sucre Sucre Miniature progress keeper is the best thing ever. It’s like a tiny little wedge of Babybel and it makes me sooo happy. *reallyfast* Peanut has discovered the secret to moving forward and nothing is safe. Phones.

Spring Things
Welcome back dear readers! The heat is kicking in in earnest. As I have discussed many times over, I do not like being hot, or being stuck inside when it’s too hot to bake, or the relentless sunshine, but there is an upside: the heat will KILL ALL THE BLOOMING THINGS. I have progressed from

Getting my Knit Together
Good news everyone! WordPress support helped me find my missing post. Somehow a draft version had overwritten the final version, which was thankfully still sitting in history. I feel rather silly I hadn’t thought to check in history, but user error is one of the easiest tech problems to fix, so I was like a

These past few weeks, I had been frustrated, challenged to find those little moments of joy in my

State of the Stash: Third Quarter
Happy fall everybody! Peanut and I (and Querido and the fuzzies) are doing well. The temperature has dropped to a positively frigid 70º in the morning, and Querido and I are turning poor Peanut into a thin-blooded Phoenician by bundling him up for his walk every morning. He’s built up quite a layer of his

Welcome Peanut
Our little Peanut has arrived safe and sound. Querido and I are thrilled, proud, tired, and bewildered all at once. Blogging is going to take a back burner as we all get ourselves sorted out, but knitting continues and you can find me keeping odd hours on Instagram @antiquotidian. P.S. He wore his Little Sprout
