CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@brouhaha My new favorite cocktail is a Dark and Stormy, basically a Moscow mule with dark rum instead of vodka. You might like it.

@daniel it's this one: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/laprawnda-the-shrimp

@d @bnut that would be adorable but my daughter who strongly prefers shrimp to be alive would alas not be amused.

@ankedesign yeah, I'm really pleased with how the yarn looks.

@tim_lavoie Yes! The pattern is https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/laprawnda-the-shrimp. I'm knitting them using Malabrigo Rios yarn in the Belinda colorway.

MORE SHRIMPS.

@David_Kelly_SF I hope you never need one again, but if you do, it's worth it.

@d waferbaby!!! Yes, recovery is going well so far. I'll know more when I have a post-op soon.

@ephesossh @thesailordev @KarinWanderer SHRIMP DAY

@grampajoe it is! Great pattern.

When recovering from surgery, here are some ideas for how to take care of yourself:

1. Get lots of rest. Your body is rebuilding!

2. Now is the perfect time to catch up on that book series you've been meaning to read.

3. Hydrate well and eat easy to digest food. Eat smaller meals more often. Maybe keep a snack bag by the couch/bed.

4. KNIT SHRIMP.

@jmiven I've been pretty pessimistic about technology lately, but this hunk of plastic is a really good reminder of how transformative it can be.

If you should ever find yourself with a lower leg injury that requires you to be non-weightbearing, try to get your hands on an iWALK knee crutch. It's an amazing piece of technology. Being able to walk around while still having the use of both hands (unlike when using crutches or a knee scooter) is so helpful. I can make a cup of coffee and carry it to the couch.
