CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@Amgine Looks lovely and squishy!

@frogglin Way ahead of you

Flew too close to the sun with this excellent start to the day, I've just found a large puddle of goop in the fridge. Origin so far unknown 🫠

Also someone just told me I made their day which has, in turn, made my day.

It's only quarter past nine so that's pretty good going

Right. I'm up. Had proper sleep. Got tea.

The headache that set in on Monday night and ruined yesterday has not gone but it's definitely faded a lot.

Moving all of my least-thinky tasks to today and lets see how far I get

@ScubaET Oh no

@sinituulia Oh wow that hits so hard, the poor guy

@ScubaET Just a short hop over into Europe and the recipient seems like they do a LOT of postcrossing so they'll hopefully report in straight away

@BritishKoalaTea Wow that's a lot! Really excited to get my first one back but since I can only afford to send one every now and then it'll probably take a while

@sinituulia Yeah it's super expensive here too so I won't be sending a lot, but did just get a load of discount stamps that will make it sting less (assuming I can bear to post them and don't accidentally collect them instead).

@dtq1952 I'm excited to be taking part but also very stressed about making a stupid newbie mistake

Well, my first postcard is away. They like elephants, and I happened to get an elephant pic in my random mixed bag of cheap cards, so that worked out well.

They also requested a lot of writing on the card, and me being naturally wordy that's fine, but me being naturally anxious I also had to copy the dimensions onto tracing paper first and practise fitting everything in!

I checked the code and address about six times but am still worried I somehow did it wrong. So now we wait

#Postcrossing

@olivvybee Thanks I love them! The actual quality of the knitting leaves a bit to be desired but idc they're very practical

Pattern I used is here: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/everyday-mittens---codzienne-mitenki

(only on Ravelry I think, but I'm sure there are plenty similar ones out there)

How come WIP Wednesday stayed such a thing over the years, but FO Friday didn't? Hmm?

Well, I have a Finished Object and it's Friday, so here we are.

Given that we have a snow and ice warning (again), I think there's still plenty of use left in these before Spring. And the thumbholes are a gamechanger!
