    Springtime bike ride through the Altstadt and along the Isar. Blue skies and fresh air always raise the spirits. Loving the little patches of crocuses appearing everywhere… 🚴‍♀️☀️🌸 https://t.co/sb1HGxtCJJ


    Knitting with Kris – working on sleeve cap shaping for Orkney! 🧶 https://t.co/SGy8OKVXiF https://t.co/qZZnLxUdKN


    Trial sleeve. I think the shaping & size are pretty good. The problem is that the motifs are matching up too closely across the seam. I think I want to shift the sleeve pattern so they’re farther apart… https://t.co/ALoKqHDBxM


    The Snook had another go at goose legs, this time sous vide for 24hrs followed by a grill in the oven. 😍 https://t.co/mNMLDo9GPJ

    The Snook surprised me today with homemade Zimt-Schnecken (cinnamon rolls)!

    Me: “What prompted this?!”
    Him: “It was the King Arthur flour Recipe of the Year and it’s all over the Internet.” 😍

    I somehow missed that we’re now using “virtual fit technology” to create custom garments. This is so cool. Proper tailoring is incredibly difficult, and I would love to see this technology applied to help me sew my own pants that actually fit! https://t.co/J0vDzQvnP1

    Happy birthday, Voitier!

    (This is completely random. I was listening to “The Lolita Podcast” the other day, which has a couple episodes about the 1997 Adrian Lyne version of “Lolita.” And I have a distinct memory of watching that for a class at ND, and I think maybe you watched it with me? Was that right?? At any rate, it made me think of you and now it’s your birthday so how fun is that? Happy birthday!)


    I caught the Snook smiling. Thinking it was because of his darling wife, I asked him why he was happy. “A funny video on the Internet,” he admitted.

    And now I can’t get it out of my head! 😂

    Any wool purchases made when you’re sick don’t count towards your stash. This is the law. ❤️🧶 https://t.co/xb4UD03RYS


    @siegel I try to keep it in check, especially as I’m living overseas now. There’s just no point in accumulating a lot of stuff that will most likely eventually get shipped back to Australia!

    20C = 68F. Warm enough to have our afternoon coffee on the terrace! ☀️☕️ https://t.co/7ZHtpO0dsc


    Six months in Germany, and I still reflexively think “Bats!” whenever I see birds flying at dusk. 🦇


    @darkosubotica How do you have room for all this stuff in your house??!!!


    @jchyip My colleague @dtraub pointed out that in the German school system, 1 = best and 5 = worst. We expect this led to some of his German talks scoring lower than expected. So I’m not surprised to see it affecting product reviews too…
