Whyte Chocolate in Nelly’s “Tip Drill”

(2004)

WHYTE CHOCOLATE

[highwaydiamonds]

So, after the cable connecting my needles broke off last night (thus causing like 1/3 of the stitches to fall off and start unraveling) and I got a bit teary and upset, I set the knitting aside. In my emo state I went and made cookies and then ate several cookies ( chocolate chip). Then today I just decided to bit the bullet and rip.

I have decided to go up a needle size to see what that does, and I'll be working on a newer cable, and a longer one at that. in addition, I'm rejigging the color progression. I was going to use mini-skeins in between the rainbow variegated yarn and the knit picks muse yarn ( the one that's more on a white/cream base) but I feel like that might have gotten the mini-skeins a bit lost and mottled. So after a bit of a rethink, I think the above will be the color progression I'll use. It makes use of the mini-skeins nicely and will allow for distinct blocks of color between the other sections. There likely will be distinctly chonkier sections with the knit picks yarn, but it'll work out hopefully.

I needed to put a reference in as to how I wanted the colors to go, so that's what this post is for. It's also a formal request to the universe that, hey please, please, third time's a charm, right? Let this be the time that I can get through the shawl without any (at least major) errors.

While I was mid-sad about the loss of progress I was listening to a podcast with a favorite poet of mine (David Whyte)... And he and the host had mentioned journeys. It got me to thinking that while yes, I have lost progress, that knitting is also supposed to be about the joy of making. And I haven't lost any "making" not really. I will just be -remaking. It's just a slightly unplanned part of the journey, but still part of the journey. That then reminded me of a Shakespeare quote I used to have up on the back of my childhood bedroom door (from Troilus and Cressida), " Things won are done, Joy's soul lies in the doing." Thus, I will try and focus on taking and making joy as I go along, to just enjoy the process, not just the product.

Places to Visit in Edmonton: Local Suggestions

Fuwa Fuwa Pancakes

Delicious extra-floofy pancakes done Japanese-style. Available at two locations in Edmonton (Windemere and Whyte Ave), as well as in Calgary and three cities in Ontario (Toronto, Mississauga, and Maple). 

I’ve tried their Matcha White Chocolate and their Creme Brulee pancakes and they were both amazing. :)

They also have tasty-looking drinks, but their pancakes are the main attraction.

"❤️LOVE & LAW IN THE 🌴GARDEN OF ADAM AND EVE."

They said they were highly priced,

But some zeros just disappeared,

The deed was all done, and reality reappeared,

Adam walked in,

But the serpent was one who led,

A fruit from the tree, got baked into fruit bread,

There's a lot more under that wig,Than just a head,

I knew a whole lot could be given, but I wasn't thinking bread,

I am clean in my speech,

These bullets be speaking led,

The calmer ones we see in class are the ones who just been fed,

I had feelings,

But I never spoke about them, I just had them bottled up,

The only colors you be seeing is the bottle seven up,

Tell me what is going up,

When you see me I'm going up,

A face is smiling at me,

But me, I'm just glowing up,

The crown of my mother,

I want to show to my mother,

The reason became a father,

The journey became farther,

The slope became steeper,

It seems she got taller,

We just happen to keep seeing,

I am not a stalker,

Dark cream chocolate,

Small packaging but expensive,

The journey begins,

and the road map is so extensive,

With every step I take, the road is more expansive,

And repercussions start coming in,

I become defensive,

She's very intelligent,

Books are not all that she knows,

There is an appetite,

She's eating but it still grows,

I'm getting excited,

by every little thing that shows,

She's acting like she is ignorant,

I'm very sure she knows,

He's hungry because she wanted to have a taste of some pizza,

Why do you sit together?

Oh, she's just like my sister,

Reading law textbooks has never been sweeter,

Different court, karibi Whyte drops an obiter,

Mangoes on the trees,

But nobody knows where the man goes,

Hair moves in the breeze,

New wig, so it's got new flows,

In the middle of the night,

We can fill the garden with rainbows,

Now we feeling thirsty,

Bring the water, now we rangos,

Love is blind,

And justicia got her eyes covered,

Holding the scales with the weights, and we got this covered,

Give her a break, like equity, we let her recover,

The legality of love is something left to discover.
