A thought on shuttles

 I know it’s late, but bear with me. I’ve had a bad day today and couldn’t really write much. I’ve been tatting more lately, and I thought I’d share a thing I tried for my attempts!

I’m actually not using a traditional shuttle. They click too much and make it hard for me to work silently like I prefer. Instead, I’m using the plastic clips that hold bread bags from my local grocery store closed. They hold a decent amount of thread, and they’re really surprisingly easy to use. 

That’s all. I had a migraine and that’s everything you’re getting. Sorry.

 Or, my senior prom is over (it was a lot of fun and I could have danced all night) and I am So Close to graduating!!! (Tomorrow!!!)  And so I have written fanfic about it.

Things Bardic Is Learning About The East Coast

 A list: - *everything* is green here and there’s so much water and so many trees - everything is named after a person or a place in England. There’s no saints, no “beautiful views” or “snowy mountains,” no religious names at all. - turnpikes are a real thing and not just something that shows up in a history textbook  - ITS SUMMER WHY IS IT WET WHY IS IT RAINING I DONT LIKE IT - low flow toilets are less of a thing here because, according to my father, “water is basically free” - SERIOUSLY WHY SO GREEN WHY SO MUCH WATER - wet season is all year? All roofs are peaked? Everything’s so old????? What is UP with this place????!!! - no earthquakes what the HECK - why is there farmland right outside town??? - I apparently know nothing about water. This has been told to me multiple times.

I finished this a few weeks ago, and I’m finally sharing both pictures and a free pattern for my new favorite shawl (and, hopefully, I might even be able to figure out ravelry posting)! I love shawls because they go with everything, and this one combines rainbow colors, a feathery border, and beautiful drapeiness.
