I'm loving the nicer weather right now! Went on a lovely walk today and saw these beautiful flowers blooming.

Had absolutely nothing to do and trying to savor it, because I know the next few weeks are going to be crazy. I want to watch more PBS and I tried to watch an episode of Nature about Transylvanian wildlife, but it was so slow and I felt like I wasn't really learning much.

Been working on a spring sweater, and worried about how it will turn out. I'm using cotton yarn, which is a lot less forgiving than wool, and the lace pattern is so easy to mess up. I had to pull out and re-do 8 rows today. I'm still excited and hopeful! I think it will turn out nice.



This is probably the least aesthetic photo of matcha ever taken, but it's all I've got. I went to a matcha pop-up and the drink was AMAZING but the experience was... interesting.

The wait was super long and their set-up was really inefficient, which I honestly expected because it was a pop-up. But I got so pissed off because they didn't have any prices on their menu?? Like great, thanks for telling me that oat milk is an extra dollar BUT +$1 TO WHAT BASE PRICE????

Like, I sometimes struggle with what is a reasonable expectation for a small business and I don't want to be a massive fucking bitch, but girl if you are charging me $12 for a liquid, just tell me I'm begging you.

Then I tried it and it was literally the best tasting matcha I have ever had.



In trying to re-capture my childhood whimsy, I got the first Warrior Cat book! But in German, so I can practice my vocab. It's definitely hard to read, but I think it will be fun!



The yarn I ordered FINALLY arrived today after being bounced back and forth between shipping hubs. I have been waiting for this to be back in stock for a while, and I placed my order as soon as I got the notification email.

This particular color has been super popular and some people are calling it "trout yarn" because of the color. I was super inspired by this sweater on Raverly and want to use her pattern to make my own trout sweater!

I have a few projects in queue before this, so we'll see when I get to it. I still need to order the yarn for the main body color, and its pretty warm, so I won't be able to wear it for a while. I'm also struggling with the fit/lace pattern of my current project, so that isn't knitting up as quickly as I had hoped.



Got up early today, which I NEVER do, because I was so obsessed with this book. My cousin's wife recommended the series to me and gave me the trilogy for Christmas last year, and I just got to it now.

I try not to be biased against certian genres, but just like high fantasy books, I typically have to push past some of the genre conventions that aren't my favorite in Romance titles.

But this book was sooooo good. I loved the way the struggle was actually realistic and how it didn't have that Hallmark movie feel of "girl, WTF are you doing, why are you leaving your health insurance and 401k matching for that man."



Had one of those days when I just woke up tired and didn't want to go anywhere, but I needed to get a hippo Webkinz for my dear friend mayhawkins, and ended up having the most lovely day.

After the Webkinz was secured, I drove to one of my favorite bakeries that sells my FAVORITE pudding. Idk what it is about this stuff, but it is so fluffy and perfect and I'm obsessed.

Anyway I walked by a huge vintage pop-up and found the most comfy sweatshirt. I also stopped by a food truck of a restaurant I have been waiting to open for MONTHS and got a white pizza with four cheeses. Reminded me of my favorite pizza growing up from a restaurant that has long since changed hands. Not exactly, but felt great to remember a little glimpse of it.

Also sent like three other people to the bakery when I was waiting for my pizza because they saw my pudding and had to know where to get it.
