A dis x 2 day
12 Mar 2026 22:16Disconnected and disappointed.
Internet has been spotty, so say the least, for the past few days. I've been pretty much offline since yesterday morning. In addition, we lost power yesterday evening (wind) and while the power came back on late this afternoon, the internet is still iffy. And btw, by iffy I mean both my phone and the wi-fi. Clearly something off with T-Mobile or/and the local tower.
Every once and a while, the phone would wake up and give me like 10 Discord notifications... but it didn't follow up with actually showing me the posts.
Disappointed in my knitting project. I have no idea what happened. So. I did the swatch thing and was pretty close to the numbers they said I should be getting. I followed the instructions. However, what I ended up with is a hat that is waaaaaay too small. I mean, circumference might be ok, but it's closer to a skullcap than a beanie. I've very disappointed. I suspected something was up when I finished the "regular knitting" section before the reductions, but I counted and decided to trust the process. Obviously, a mistake.
Ah well. I have more yarn. I will do some calculations tomorrow and start over again. Will not unravel this one yet, though.

Oh man, and the end, working with four double pointed needles? That are pretty awful, LOL.
Anyhow.
In a side note. Looks like the weather might go completely to hell overnight. We were about to sign out of rowing when Marilyn sent out of the line ups. I'm coxing, 😭🤮, which means canceling is not cool. So I guess we get to slog through whatever weather the PNW wants to throw at us tomorrow, followed by freezing my ass in a boat. UGH.
