I would like to get all these done this year:

I’ve already started the pink socks pattern, which I posted earlier this week. I think once I turn the heels I might cast on the bottom left sweater and get a start on it while finishing the socks.

Elephants seem to have a preferred tusk

Musselburgh, that’s the pattern I was trying to think of. Awesome that you made up your own, I always have to stick to a pattern

Plus filling in nutrition gaps isn’t the only reason people take supplements. I take turmeric for inflammation, as recommended by my doctor.

I wonder if the article’s title wasn’t written by the author (made more click baity by an editor or something). Because the article’s point seems to be pushing for better testing and quality control to weed out the bad products.

Congrats! The colors are so fun. Did you use a pattern?

Great capture! I love stilts

Also now I’m picturing you out shaking a stick at waterfowl. The mergansers seem offended, but the coots couldn’t care less

Just started summer year 2 in my first-ever Stardew Valley playthrough

Also Terraria with my spouse when we’re too tired to spend brain power on BG3

No worries, I saw it too as I painted it. I added the specks of pepper and green onion to try and disguise it lol

Such a great mindset, this dog (and the previous) are lucky to have such a patient owner. For socializing, there’s a local dog trainer who does monthly doggie social hours in an indoor horse arena. Maybe a trainer in your area does something similar?

Love the eye ring, great photo

 

My sister in law is very hard to shop for, but she knits and crochets. She also makes kimchi throughout the year, so I painted the ingredients for kimchi on some stitch markers she can use with her knitting projects.

 
 

I make these in memory of my grandma every year when my family gets together for Christmas, following this recipe. The recipe makes 16 kolache, 12 with apricot filling and 4 with poppy seed filling

 

Outside garden is asleep til spring, but I still grow a few herbs and lettuce for our pet rabbit

 

TLDR: The insurance company has a new policy, set to take effect in February 2025, where they decide how much anesthesia is needed for surgeries. They won’t pay for any anesthesia over that, with exemptions for maternity and pediatric cases and for Connecticut providers.

The article also notes the insurance company reported a $2.3 billion net income increase in June 2024.

Edit to update: Anthem now says they won’t put this policy into effect

 
 

The world's first wooden satellite, built in Japan, is being flown to the International Space Station on a SpaceX mission.

LignoSat will be released into orbit about 400km above the Earth, with researchers hoping it will prove wood is a space-grade material.

LignoSat will stay in orbit for six months, with the electronic components onboard measuring how wood endures the extreme environment of space.

Edit: added sunmary

 

Just in time to start my mystery knit along, I finished both yip yips. The knit eyes worked out really well. I’ve never laughed so much while knitting something, these were a really fun project

Pattern

 

Remember those “Martians” from Sesame Street? A friend asked me to make a couple of these for their kid. My first one is on the left and the pattern photo is on the right. I’m going to try to knit some eye balls instead of using ping pongs, we’ll see how that goes

This came up unexpectedly and I’m waiting to see what it’ll be. I didn’t plant any squash or pumpkins this year. In fact I’ve never planted either in this garden bed. We affectionately call it our “pumquash” while we wait.

I have it under a greenhouse because we had our first frost warning this weekend, and I’d really like at least one fruit to mature so we can solve the mystery. This is the furthest along.

 

Today’s our first frost date, and I haven’t had a single ripe tomato yet. Time to break out the plant covers and cross my fingers.

I usually make green tomato relish. What are your favorite green tomato canning recipes?
