Her Knit Picks Felici Zen Socks had a hole in the foot. It was easy to repair with a bit of yarn. I washed them and they're ready to give back. I only finished these in May 2022, right before Mother's Day so these haven't held up very well. Click here for my Ravelry Project Page. I also did a blanket repair on a knitted blanket a friend's mother asked me to fix. I was assuming it was crochet, so the fact that it was knitted was a surprise. The section that was torn was part of a very long strip of knitting that was knit on the bias, so it was a little tricky but it was in garter stitch and I did a good job of pulling the stitches back up. Its not 100% invisible, but I'm happy with it. I have it washed and ready to return.   Crafty Adventures   Resin adventures with Gayle & Meagan for their Bucket List with a Twist.

I went to Minute Clinic to confirm I had Covid, but mostly to see if I also had strep throat, and was treated by my childhood bestie, Maribeth! Grateful for my own craft room with a comfy chair in a cool part of the house. Perfect for isolating and making sure Dan didn't get sick. I did go outside a bit on the weekend days. Dan brought up my wheel. I still spent a lot of time lying down between projects but it was nice to get out. I missed our nephew's 16th birthday pool party, though, so that was a bummer. Jeff was able to get an extra ticket for me to join he and Riley to see Lainey Wilson at the Mohegan Sun casino on Friday night! We had dinner, loved the show, got a cool Watermelon Moonshine Stanley Tumbler, and then I slept over at their house. Hung out with Riley & Millie in the morning, singing Hamilton as Riley made us homemade waffles.   Quote of the Week   The great thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving. –OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES, SR ------   Thank you for tuning in!   Contact Information: Check out the Down Cellar Studio Patreon!

In part two of age of sail duology there is real actual queer content, not just in our hearts. This month Nicole and Monica watched the first seasons of the HBO series Our Flag Means Death. It's a series that's very interested in playing with sitcom tropes, and is focused on a romance between Stede Bonnet, former landed gentry who has run away from home, and Ed, who is Blackbeard, who's extremely tired of his own hype. Nicole knit Fred and George Socks by Rosemary Waits, and Monica knit Love Note by Tin Can Knits and Foliage Hat by Irina Dmitrieva.

This month Nicole and Monica listened to Barbarian Alien, the audio version of the second book in Ruby Dixon's Ice Planet Barbarians sci-fi romance series, narrated by Hollie Jackson and Mason Lloyd. There's lots of laughter, along with explicit talk about sex and swearing, two jerks falling in love, and Nicole keeps getting sidetracked into the larger Ice Planet Barbarians lore. Nicole knit Lockdown by Robynn Weldon, Witchy Socks by Dawn Henderson, and spun. Monica knit Barley Light by Tin Can Knits and Blissed Out by Chic and Regal Knits.
