Today, I share the 2023 Stitches West Cocktail. ๐Ÿน (I’m the lead and entire contingent of the committee for this decision, btw.) ๐Ÿน Enjoyed with @jazzturtle at The Shady Lady, it is called a White Linen and is served by the carafe. The implication being that it’s better with a friend. ๐Ÿน This is - essentially - a gin and tonic with a splash of Elderflower Liqueur, and some simple syrup (if you want to- I don’t). ๐Ÿน It’s delicious and refreshing- though, in our house, we skip the simple syrup. ๐Ÿน The recipe: 5 ice cubes Juice from 1 lemon 2 oz Hendrick’s gin 1 oz Elderflower liqueur 2-3 oz Tonic water Simple syrup to taste Cucumber slices (for garnish and deliciousness) ๐Ÿน Bรฉ salamati!

Now everyone will know when I have a good idea. ๐ŸŒฒ [Pattern: Alaska hat with Sasquatch chart added (I didn’t make it), green yarn: @NeighborhoodFiberCo Studio Sock, Sasquatch: leftovers from a hat I finished over the summer.] ๐ŸŒฒ The wearable LEDs are from @browndoggadgets. It was my first time setting up a circuit, and balancing the technical aspects with the fabric of the hat was challenging, but so worth it because this is SO COOL. (They’re also washable if you take the battery out; the conductive thread won’t hold up to a lot of washing, just fyi.) ๐ŸŒฒ You can hear all about this project, and all the others on The Knitmore Girls Podcast, available on all of your favorite audio platforms. ๐ŸŒฒ #bipocknitters #knitting #knittersofinstagram #handdyedyarn #knitmoregirlspodcast #IndieDyers #IndieDyersofInstagram #Bespoke #knit #FairIsleKnitting #Colorwork #Sasquatch #AlaskaHat #Bigfoot #Cryptozoology #WearableCircuits #BrownDogGadgets to line break

Genevieve Danger, first of her name, Devourer of Books, Style Sophisticate, Devious Dimpler, Fearsome Firebrand. Brilliance embodied. Wrangler of wandering mothers, Evil Idea Generator, Responsible Revolutionary, Mathematical Maven. ๐ŸŽ‚ She wants to be a forensic scientist, a writer, and a teacher. She is growing up in a world where nobody has ever said that girls can’t be scientists, mathematics, or anything else they darn well please, and it makes my heart soar. ๐ŸŽ‚ She is remarkable and self-aware. She is sharp, funny, observant, and a critical thinker. She is beautiful and fierce. She is articulate and effortlessly code-switches between environments. (Her fourth grade teacher pointed this out to me, and now I see it all the time.) ๐ŸŽ‚ Even if she doesn’t like you, she’ll still be polite to you; but you’ll definitely know she doesn’t like you. ๐ŸŽ‚ This week, we celebrated her eleventh birthday. There was family, Zachary’s pizza, gifts, and mochi cake. Her plan, our execution, naturally. ๐ŸŽ‚ [Image Description: . A stunning little girl with an olive complexion, glasses, and long dark brown hair smiles purses her lips in anticipation of blowing out the candles on the slice of mochi cake in front of her.] to line break
