Oof! Good luck. I gave up most years because they’re such a nuisance. I did have small luck with vinigar and peppermint, but only very small.

Also, grasshoppers…holy halibuts, batman! I’ve never seen something sheer gourds to nothing like this year. So even trying gourds to deal with the squash bugs didn’t work.

In a really twisted way, Youtube is a fairly big reason why a good number of people go outside, take up hobbies, etc.

Made another batch, this time anise flavored, and I used a cookie sheet so I can rest my pained body.

There was a slight problem with this batch. It came out more chalky, but I’m wagering it was because I cut down on the sugar by a lot. (Not enough elasticity/moisture/whatever to keep it sticky while cooking).

There are very very few entertainers that have ever choked me up, but damn Richard Simmons and Newhart are definitely on that list. Rest well.

but it’s been at least a couple of weeks since cast-on which should tell you all you need to know about rate of completion 😅

Pshhh! That’s nothing. I’ve got a grocery bag that I started over a year ago, and a pumpkin bag I started about 7 months ago…i swear I’ll get to them…after I find where I put the patterns I wrote…:no_mouth:

Definitely requires a bit more concentration than I’ve been able to give lately, so I just keep defaulting to the socks instead.

Oof! Pain and the digestive issues from trying to get my pains taken care of have me in a daze most days. It’s tough, but I am making headway…slooooowly, heh!

Am working on another duster for my swiffer thingies…I still don’t feel up to recording a how-to yet, though. I’ll get to it…i’ll get to it.

Last night, I made a tiny ray out of this yarn, too.
