Went to the NJ Sheep and Fiber Festival yesterday. It's only a couple miles from my parents' house.

I was on a mission for a gemstone green worsted weight yarn.

I didn't quite get the color, but I got close. There was shockingly little worsted weight yarn. Everything was fingering. I guess all knitters make socks.

But the vendor I found made the yarn out of Bluefaced Leicester wool. And now I'm a snob who cares about which breed the sheep is.

It's not as soft as merino.

You know, I don't care if Mitch is dead. That's one R seat in the Senate that can't vote on anything. We should be in no rush to turn that back into a voting seat.

So I decided to just skip the face moisturizer (just cleanser and serum) and now I don't feel like there's goop I need to clean off. Prose has 2 lighter moisturizer bases, so I've switched the formula to the middle one.

Kinda funny watching bsky users have an existential crisis over whether leaving Twitter harmed politics, and masto is just.. itself. Chugging along, people posting about things they care about

Whole30 Day 9

I've made a big tray of hamburger casserole. I didn't cook it long enough so the potatoes aren't quite fine, but I hope in reheating it will cook a little more.

I'm really liking the moka pot for Crio bru. I've tried it a bit with coffee but will experiment more when the month is done.

I now have ground goat! So I think I will make another stroganoff batch with that, although I'm running low on souper cubes to store meals in.

Have found a new ttrpg channel to watch: Looking for Mom.

They have a lot of shows, but I'm starting with The Haunting of Hanashira

Yooooo my stitches are way too tight for a k2tog. But the one place where I had looser tension looks terrible. 😩
