Really feeling the exhaustion of three full days of meetings after cross country travel, so enjoying some comfort ramen at @nudoramenspokane and sock knitting! #knitting #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #nevernotknitting #sockknitting #sockknittersofinstagram #spokane

It’s so cool that it’s restaurant week while I’m here in Spokane for work! Had a great meal and some delicious beers here at @steam_plant #irwravereviews

It’s my favorite type of meal - the “use up random stuff in the pantry salad!” This is Israeli couscous with dried cranberries, golden raisins, pistachios, almonds, and a lemon z’atar dressing! I seasoned the couscous water with salt, cumin, cinnamon, cardamom, and allspice, and put the cranberries and raisins in with the couscous while it cooked so they get all nice and juicy. The dressing is zest and juice from one lemon, a hefty amount of Z’atar, olive oil, and a pinch of ginger. #yumyum

Braved the cold for some photos of my Blush and Glow crop top by @stringrevolution ! I loved making this pattern and I can see it getting a ton of wear once it’s actually reasonable to do so. I’m sure people driving by were very confused by my taking photos with a tripod in a tshirt on my balcony when it’s 20 degree F 🥶😂 I decided to make this faded, using from top to bottom, @laineandlotus fingering “next in line”, @wraybot Junkyarn Smooth Sock “Rosemary “ and HedgeHog Fibres “Juniper” #blushandglowcrop #stringrevolution #laineandlotus #junkyarn #knitting #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #croptoplove #youareknitworthy

Good beer (@alvariumbeer), good food (@los_mariachis_wallingford) and good knitting! Casting on for a Druid Circle Sweater by @pipernell, which has been in my queue ever since THEY published it! I test knit the hat based on the same pattern and loved the colorwork so I’m so excited to start!

Happy 30th birthday to my amazing friends! I love celebrating and dancing with you ❤️
