Well, Well, Well

Here lately, I've been thinking about trying to post the links to my blog on the book of faces once more, despite having had so many of them removed for violating community standards.  I miss the interactions I used to get over there -- the comments on my posts, the discussions, etc.  I've got one friend who will leave comments on the blog itself, but for the most part, the community I had has disappeared.  Heck, I don't even know if any of my readers have followed me over here. I do know my hit count has taken a significant hit...but I don't want to sound like I'm whining about that. 

Then, just this morning, I see yet another one of these.  

This is one of those scam groups that promise you can watch season 5 of The Chosen if you just send in your credit or debit card information.  Despite the fact that everybody who follows the show knows that season 5 isn't even finished post production, and won't be released until sometime next year -- March-April time frame -- people still fall for these scams.  We report these groups to FB every time they pop up, but for some reason, they don't think scamming people out of money violates their community standards.

Yet, my blog posts about knitting, herbs, and daylilies do.  Go figure.  It's gotten so bad, I don't even get a review any more when I request one after a post has been removed.  So, I don't know.  I may try it and see how it goes.  

In better news, I got two more Christmas cards today -- again, both were mailed before Christmas. 

The one on the right is from my Australian pen pal, so it has an excuse.  The one on the left came from Michigan, so there's no reason it should have taken over a week to get here.   I mean, the USPS is a government operation after all, so I guess I can't really expect any better from them. 

In knitting news, I caked up this yarn to cast on the next hat.   It's Vesper Sock Yarn in the colorway Rawhide. 

It's another one that came from my dear friend Suzie's stash, and I'm wondering if she used part of it for a small project or something, because the cake seems kind of mall compared to the others I've wound.  Still, I'm thinking I'll have enough for a hat, because I usually have quite a bit left over when I use a standard 100 g skein. 

So, while I was digging through that box I was talking about yesterday, I found a bag full of yarn, including the hank my friend Leann had dyed for the very first Fiber Fun In The 'Sip.  The colorway is called Jazz Rhapsody.  Alas, when I wound it, I guess moths got to it, because it was all in pieces.   

I was so disappointed!  But I can piece it together and I don't think it'll disrupt the color schemes too much.  Of course, you'll be able to see it as I'm knitting it.  But, as soon as I was done, I grabbed my cedar spray and gave all the drawers and shelves a good refresh, just in case.  

And finally, I'm posting kind of early today because we are expecting a bit of weather this evening.  

The worst of it is supposed to pass to the south of where I am, but we are in the red area here.  If you follow me on social media (FB, X, Threads), I'll do my best to keep you updated.   If not, I'll be sure to check in tomorrow to let you know how we fared.
