Started knitting another shawl today. First big item I’ve cast on in a very long time. Makes hours fly by.

@kyle that’s pretty cool. Definitely need to start making hand mined bitcoin now.

Once I got into a rhythm this actually came together very quickly. Made two singles and plied them together.
Using the old €20 wheel from the kringloopwinkel to spin some Norwegian wool. This stuff has very straight, long, and fairly sharp fibers and is definitely not going to yield a next to skin yarn but I’ll come up with something to do with it.

The ol' bump deps and rev projects dance is done again. Third time now that I've said "I ought to automate this process" - and I have a placeholder project that might just fit the bill for the right way to do it.

@VincentTunru I already offered @Gina the opportunity to live in TX for free and even pay her gym membership if she’ll make me bitterballen. All she has to do is become tolerant to months above 40C heat indices with 100% humidity, give up any thoughts of ever riding a bicycle to a grocery store (or anywhere else) ever again, and be Fine with the fact the healthcare system is fundamentally broken. We do have amazing tacos though.

@Gina I mean idek tbh but one is always suspicious of the food of one’s own people being made by An Outsider! I am always down for tacos. Let’s do it! We actually will be in Amsterdam on like the 6/7th for some appointments so that could be an opportunity

@Gina but wtf you gonna make the tacos with the tortillas at AH/Jumbo are offensively bad like on the level that what Americans claim is Gouda must offend the Dutch.

Though I do like the plan and will teach you how to make tortillas that do not suck if you wish it so.

@Gina mine was actually fairly OK all things considered.

@Gina Caty added stamppot to the list. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@Gina actually can’t lie one lady had on a brave combination. Leopard print top with snake print sleeves and cheetah pants. I thought I was in an episode of Tiger King for a second.

@Gina oooo also we can go to my ranch and get you some rattlesnake skins for some snakeskin apparel. I noticed last week that like 40% of Delft was wearing cat or snake print.

@Gina heeeeeel lekker! What if living your best life is actually just moving in with us and I’ll like pay for your gym membership if you make us stroopwaffel, bitterballen, and oliebollen!?

@Gina well I’m moving back to TX by then so if you wanna drive a big truck everywhere and have no reasonable hope for access to medical care should you need it I can also get all my guns back and make it a party!!!

JK you had Thailand as an option but I’m partial to Malaysia myself. Biased since I grew up there.
