- I'm currently working on this shawl, which I'm enjoying very much. It is complicated in a different way than a lot of the complicated things I knit, in that it's all stockinette instead of being lace or cables, so the complexity is in the actual shaping and construction of the shawl. But the way it works does mean that I occasionally have to pick up and knit something like 179 stitches along the edge of something which is...tedious.
- Sunday morning is cooking time, so I have spent the morning cooking. I was trying a new recipe and it turned out to be awful (especially since the cabbage I bought turned out to be off, which I only discovered too late in the process to remedy), so I had to switch to a backup tried-and-trusted recipe that I already had most of the ingredients for. Ah, well. This is also loaf cake weekend, so I made a coconut and lime cake and that, at least, turned out fine.
- Last night, I finished the first adventure in my newest solo D&D game, so I'm figuring out what's going to happen next. I have an Adventure Crafter sheet for the next adventure, so I have some ideas, but a fun thing about playing solo is that if I want to spend a session or two having my character explore a new city via random oracle rolls rather than jumping straight to Danger and Excitement, I can do that. I also get to do exactly the amount and kind of worldbuilding I want, which means that I have no idea how the government of this city functions at all but I do know about the city's textile industry and the different kinds of street food you can buy.
