![Confession Time with Katie:
Playing Mario Kart has made me a worse driver. As I drove to lunch with a friend, I wished for a flashing star so I could be invincible and drive through everything.
Also, we're eating bagels for lunch because throwing rules out windows is my new favorite hobby.
Speaking of hobbies, I started a Constellate Hat in the colorway, African Violets by LolaBean Yarn. The first Constellate took me nineteen months so surely i can beat that!
LOL. @marz1pan thought I was knitting a sock for someone with HUGE calves!
In writing news, I plan to send a short story before mid-December so join my Inner Circle Email List if you need a dopamine hit right about now.
I hope you have the Monday you need, Crew! I love you!!!!
[ID: Veggie rosemary bagel and tuna salad sesame seed bagel with a purple hat in progress.]

“Seaweed yarn” contains Sea Cell which is a cellulose based fiber made from seaweed according to Handmaiden’s web site. Their yarn is what I was drooling over at my LYS. It seems very shiney and soft and totally luxurious (Sea Cell seems most often paired with silk). What it is not is long-wearing (which is what I need for socks). On ravelry, I found some gorgeous Sea Silk / Sea Sock projects. Observe.

Ps. Happy Friday! :)
Oh look at all of that sea cell prettiness. Even if it isn’t long-wearing (I wonder how bad it is…) for that texture I would still love a skein of my very own!
I’m not sure how bad it is… might be ok for lounge socks? but for me, I think I’ll just plan to use it for something other than socks at some point (hopefully soonish)…is this going to be the story of how I became a shawl knitter???
Oh, girl…that IS gorgeous.
Now I really feel lame asking the other day on here if it was “real” sea weed.
Yes. I can ask the doozies, I know.
girl. you crazy! I loves that I get to educate you on all things knitty!
