I've finally actually, really re-learned (via YouTube) how to knit and, thus far, I've made half a scarf that strongly resembles Minnesota. But I remain undeterred! Honestly IDC if I make hundreds of lumpy scarves and blankets, if it gives me something to do with my hands during zoom calls. My poor fingernails have long suffered the wrath of my fidgeting.

DD1 just brought home a new fundraiser from her school. Which brings our current number of active fundraisers up to three. Sigh. Can't someone sell something at another time of the year?
I say this knowing cookies takes over my life for three months in the winter. But come one, three sales at the same time is just not doable.

I’m happy to knit with you and give pointers if needed

This really random, but my girls have expressed an interest in learning cursive. Anyone have a work book to recommend?

They've got a whole cursive series. Now they do teach cursive in school but it seems they have a lot of books.

Our school recommended an app and a stylus when the kids were learning letter formation. I can dig through our App Library if you are interested. IIRC it was a free one.

Sending good thoughts to all of us dealing with a shitty September.
In good news, my daughter’s psychiatrist prescribed a quick acting anxiety med to keep at school for when panic attacks hit. Fingers crossed it does the trick and we don’t end up with another ambulance ride from school.

All of our plumbing issues have been approved AND nearly all the drywall replacement. They also won’t have to dig up the driveway, they were approved for trenching (or something). I cannot wait to have this all done.

Kitting is so impressive to me. I learned to finger knit on YT and that nearly broke my brain. I have fallen into the crocheted hexagon cardigan rabbit hole though. 1 practice, 1 hoodie version for DS3, now a pullover, then on to a top-down sweater I saw on YT. Good luck with your sweater!
