The schizophrenic neighbour's latest set of patterns is keeping me on edge.
Not great given other concerns.

@emmaaum Oh shit, that doesn't sound good.

@eclectech I thought the "Attack of the 50ft Woman and the 20ft Corgi" (https://www.google.com/search?q=attack+of+the+50ft+corgi&oq=attack+of+the+50ft+corgi&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8) couldn't be improved on, but it seems I was wrong.

@eclectech @metaning Hello! Yes, there is a pattern available, from either https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/emotional-support-chickentm or https://theknittingtreela.com/collections/patterns/products/the-chicken-kit

@sheepnik i ordered these two, plus a samphire to try because the discount was more than its cost
bee collection for the aromatic border in the front and the herb tea mostly for the back. thanks for linking to their shop earlier.

It's kind of dangerous that with just a few button clicks I can have half a dozen new herb plants (4 fancy mints, 1 winter savory and a cola plant) coming my way.

sheepnik,
@sheepnik@toot.wales avatar

And yes, a cola plant is a real thing.

@emmaaum Thank you, good to know. I'm now going to think of you as my gardening guru.

I'm now Great-Auntie Sheepnik, as of this morning!

ETA - it's a boy, and a very respectable 7lb 9oz. I better get back to knitting the cardigan and elephant.

@sheepnik@toot.wales avatar

@emmaaum Thanks! (And I did not promise anything like a chicken onesie, and you know it!)

@emmaaum (Stop it.)

Apparently I have nothing much to say today, so here's something I've been working on. I bet you can't guess what it is.

sheepnik,
@sheepnik@toot.wales avatar

@emmaaum Can you imagine what the two together might get up to?

sheepnik,
@sheepnik@toot.wales avatar

@purplepadma Would you like a chicken of your own? Not this one, because it's destined elsewhere, but another one made specially for you?

sheepnik,
@sheepnik@toot.wales avatar

@purplepadma Consider yourself on the list then 🐓

sheepnik,
@sheepnik@toot.wales avatar

@purplepadma I've got some other bits that I need to finish off, but I will try to get one done for you before I go on holiday. Purples and teals are your favourite colours, yes?

sheepnik,
@sheepnik@toot.wales avatar

@purplepadma Excellent!

I could just set out at walking pace and see if I feel like running? 🏃 🤔

sheepnik,
@sheepnik@toot.wales avatar

@purplepadma that sounds like a good plan.

sheepnik,
@sheepnik@toot.wales avatar

@purplepadma That does make walking or running a teensy bit more challenging.

Who am I and what day is it?

@emmaaum 😂

I would much prefer the boarding house residents to my current neighbour, although he does have a very lovely dog.

11 hours later and I'm still none the wiser.

Things that I do know though: this puppy https://www.greyhoundfriendsforlife.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/IMG_5728-scaled.jpeg looks so like the dog that my brother got when I was about 10/11 years old and then left with my parents when he moved down to London.

@helenclayton I'm alive? I guess? Still coughing at various levels of demon possession - at this time of day it doesn't seem so bad at least.
