Murderface with his big 'ol catnip sack:
Had a good weekend. Friday afternoon I visited the grand opening of a new yarn store in Norwich, VT (Norwich Knits). The back room is devoted to Vermont yarn/fiber/farms and there are a few places to sit and knit. The shop will have classes and weekly knit nights.
The front room has commercial yarn brands- Manos del Uruguay, Noro, Mirasol, Rowan... Some of the stock is recognizable as Northern Nights' previous stock. In terms of needles- I only saw Clover, which I can get at big box craft stores with a coupon. I'd like to see Knitters Pride needles offered- they are affordable and there are many different wool/metal/acrylic options.
Saturday morning I brought Penny to the vet for her annual exam. The rest of the weekend was busy but I feel like I don't have a lot to show for it. I got a puzzle in the mail last Wednesday that consumed me until I finished it Saturday morning. Once that was done, I could get back to knitting and crocheting.
I crocheted a couple more rounds on the afghan. I finished the 2nd ball of yarn for the shawl and started the 3rd ball. Nothing too exciting to show there. I had every intention of warping up the Kromski Harp loom to weave a window covering (and even watched YouTube videos to refresh my memory on how to warp) but... I didn't.
Sunday was a busy cooking day. Yogurt in the Instant Pot. Pork shoulder in the slow cooker. Bread from the no-knead bucket. Chocolate chip blondies. Tuna fish and white bean salad. Basically meal prep for the week.
We watched The Kirilian Frequency on Netflix- it's just five 10-minute short animated stories. We've been trying to find Lovecraftian movies/shows and this series was perfect. If you like the Welcome to Night Vale podcast, you'll looooove this. I was pretty sad there weren't more episodes.
