![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.]

Last week I finished my pretty blue cowl, gave it a wee bath, and pinned it out to dry.
It looks even better. well, except for the rust. Evidently, you can’t just block your knitting with any old T-pins. I’m not gonna lie. I was not excited to find this out with my pretty blue cowl, but if I’d rusted my Jeanie, well, it wouldn’t have been pretty. In fact, it would have been downright ugly (think cross between Rudolph and Rob Zombie).
Looks like I’ll soon be the proud new owner of some T-pins from my LYS.

Ohhh, the Jeanie. I finally gave up on mine and am turning that yarn into something else (that’s currently hibernating.) I’m very impressed with yours!
Thank you. I loved it. I never knew dropping stitches could be so addictive.
Oh annoying! You can sell it as a special feature though I’m sure!
Thanks! I think the yarn is thick and blue enough that it won’t be a huge deal once I was the edge off the rust.
Oh no!!! What a bummer! I wonder if rust washes out?
I’m gonna give it the old college try and if not, I’ll wear it anyway. I so love a conversation piece.
