This grey, rainy Autumn weather is doing my head in, so I took advantage of Prime Day and bought a daylight therapy light. It’s… a lot of light. 😂☀️

@etepetetebio ARGH. We are working from home, here all morning, and somehow DHL didn’t ring our door for delivery but instead put a card in mailbox. Have to now pick up tomorrow. Very annoying – was hoping to eat veggies for dinner!
Levelled up my German today – managed to call DHL to complain about a missed delivery, and despite the fact that the guy spoke very little English, my complaint was successfully noted! Apparently righteous indignation is good for language learning. ✊
@RachelAppel They didn’t even ring our bell! Must’ve rung a neighbour to get in and then just put the card in the mailbox. It’s infuriating.

I was nodding along like, sure, Marsden as my fave Stu Redman, okay, I can buy that, and Whoopi as Mother Abigail is a no-brainer, and then Eric Northman appeared as Randall Flagg and my brain exploded and I’d like to move to Vegas and join the Team Evil now thank you. https://t.co/0vJpDfxkED
@cobusbernard I didn’t consider myself a horror fan but got into him via The Gunslinger and then ended up reading most of his work. Love his short stories and fantasy! The 90’s Stand miniseries was excellent – this one has a lot to live up to.
@cobusbernard My defining memory of Needful Things is the Elvis sunglasses. 😳
Remember how I gave that talk about KnitML and the dream of being able to programmatically compile a custom knitting pattern in just my size? I really wish that existed. ( @j__st – we need @freesewing_org for knitting!) https://t.co/6WYot64DHO
@chessiqua @mattallen @j__st @freesewing_org This is a particular traditional pattern from a designer in a new book that’s just been released. I tend to knit more complicated things than what I’ve seen from Bellish.
@JulieKalitis @j__st @freesewing_org Yeah, there are a few different people trying to pitch different commercial versions of this. Of course, none of them are interoperable. That’s why I wish KnitML had taken off as a standard. Designers aren’t going to convert their patterns into multiple different formats.
@j__st @freesewing_org I’ve thought about it. It’s a thought. Some day.

Milo Socks
Finished knitting project! These are the Milo Socks from Cookie A’s book Sock Innovation.
I started these way back in June but they took me forever to finish. Part of that is because, as usual, Cookie A patterns are way more complicated than they need to be. And there was the whole “moving international during a pandemic” thing to contend with as well. 🤷♀️
The wool is Crazyfoot by Mountain Colors, which I bought in Phoenix, Arizona many years ago. I probably should’ve used a solid colour for such a complicated pattern, but it reminds me of the colours of the desert on that amazing drive that day through Sedona to Flagstaff.

@crankymate Nah, more like a gingerbread texture almost.
@raejohnston Identified a person I admired and followed their career, got to know them a little. Then sent an email saying I was looking for a mentor and asking their advice in finding one. After a coffee, she agreed to mentor me ongoing. The email was key; gave her an out to say no.
