I found my cotton yarn utopia!! No more Frankenstein'ing all over the Internet for a cotton yarn source since I've discovered @weareknitters. Loud, loud, loud heart thumping - I love this yarn!

Hand quilting little 2-1⁄2" heart blocks on a mini quilt. Possibly even more satisfying than binding. Except if this was a king quilt. Then it would be ridiculous. #lovequiltforlove

I have mad love for Sock Guy socks, and not just because there are so many awesome designs and styles, and the king/queen of cycling fashion — but because I suffer from Neuropathy (for reasons unknown, but all signs point to nerve damage from multiple surgeries and reconstruction on one of my feet) and these socks are like magic on me feet (specifically on my toes). These socks are not marketed as Neuropathy socks, but for what ever reason these socks take a huge edge off my pain. Especially after long rides. Or just everyday wear.

But seriously. How freaking cute are they? Hella cute, that’s how cute.

 

 

Sock truths. #🦄

I got my unicorn pair here. (or see all of the Sock Guy socks here)

And because I love unicorns. Even the ones with missing horns.

 

Took the long 🚲 route to the bank today and made a new friend. Poor thing, she seems to have lost her horn. 🦄

Cuisinart, you are an asshole.
