breakfast this am was delish: spinach, frozen blueberries, a banana, and a slash of milk in my favorite mug !
I love a cowl. They’re warm and cuddly and you don’t have to worry ab them coming unwrapped (or how to wrap them in the first place) like scarves or neck kerchiefs.
After a few hrs at La Casita— knitting all the way there and back on the G—I am almost done with the bandana cowl!!
I’ve found that cowl patterns are usually too short and loose for my liking; they collapse a bit with wear and end up laying on my collar bone like a necklace… Grr. To ensure maximum neck warmth I knit a few extra rounds before starting the decreases.
Almost done with Purl Soho’s bandana cowl pattern.
I did wrap and turns on my Twinkle sweater last fall, but this is becoming the project that perfected my w&t technique. If you’re looking for an easy and cute project I highly recommend. It knits up quick and is ridiculously cute. I think I may switch my ‘hats for the homeless’ campaign to ‘bandana cowls for the homeless’…
Mmmmmmmbreakfast! Is there anything better than avocado on toast? (and yes, I’m aware of my slightly obscene love of pepper….)
OMG shoes!
"But maybe more importantly, the ability to criticize probably comes a bit easier for folks who don’t ever have the question, “Should I even be here?” hanging over their heads as they look around a room and don’t see anyone who looks like them."

Freaking amazing. The shocked laughter at the end kinda sums it all up…
Steve - thanks for alerting me to this.
OH.WOW.
"2. A thought is a physical pathway in the brain. The more you have that thought the more you groove that path and the easier it is to have it again. That’s why having the thought “Why do I suck?” is never a great idea."
"The reason it takes five years to become an architect is, that it takes that long to become that arrogant."

This looks great and it’s one of the most important health issues in our country. Glad to see there is more attention being given to why our cities and economy were designed to make health so hard.
A provocative new 4-hour series soon to air on public television, Designing Healthy Communities, examines the impact of our built environment on key public health indices, including obesity, diabetes, heart disease, asthma, cancer and depression. The series documents the connection between bad community design and burgeoning health consequences, and discusses the remedies available to fix what has become an urgent crisis.
