I've been a bit quiet here. I'm dealing with some complex health issues (which funny enough actually give me hope that I've identified the cause!), but I'm still working on the commissions I have underway. So here's a pic of the Monotropa flowers WIP. As you can see, the flower buds are still missing. I still need to solder them first!

A very early UI draft: experimenting with Venn diagrams to explore how countries are discussed in relation to each other across Zeit and the New York Times. Basically, I am showing how many articles are tagged using the names of both countries and how many other meta-keywords they have in common across 1 year of news coverage from the two newspapers. 🙃 #wipwednesday

Work In progress Wednesday

I PUSHED AARON UP AGAINST THE WALL AND STOPPED JUST A CENTIMETER FROM HIS LIPS. “ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT THIS?” I’D WANTED THIS OMEGA FOR SO LONG THAT STOPPING NOW JUST MIGHT KILL ME, BUT I WASN’T GOING TO LET ANYTHING WITH ME BECOME A MISTAKE HE WOULD LOOK BACK UPON WITH REGRET.

Using scrap yarn, this is 1st one I've made of wool (v. acrylic). I must say it's a much more pleasant knitting experience - 2 strands fingering held together on US2 needles, so very tight, but wool gives some spring.

Still, my upper arms and shoulders hurt! It's OK, I'm knitting off anxiety, and it's a workout my muscles need.

#WIPWednesday, and all I have to show for it is a new splodge of mostly dark blue along the bottom here. Haven't had a single second to do any knitting or any other crafts this week so far, ack!

Today marks the third Wednesday in a row of failing to put a video out, despite staying up until half two in the morning to try and finish it. So this week I put my task list into one of those auto scheduling apps hoping it might have some answers...

...it turns out I have like 20 hours more work to do in my week than there is literal time, so...er...no wonder I'm stressed. Whoops. Time for a rethink 😅

For #WIPWednesday I have:
* sock 2 cast on ready for a short trip
* 28 grams of fiber left to spin
* 5 cm of the body of the Cymric cardigan left to go - that is the to be folded part of the hem
* fun blending board experiment with recently dyed Gotland and an older sample of minty coloured Clun Forest (I think, could also be Southdown). The Gotland had not felted and was still reasonably organised after dyeing.
