instagramed: It’s a good sign my suitcases are going to make it on this transfer in DEN when I can see them from my seat 💺:D #kdlbadventure #zk2019 - on 6/18.

instagramed: I had wheelchair assistance #disability this morning because I questioned my strength level of wheeling on the carpet to the very end of the terminal in the time I had allotted – last year it was so much. #wheelchairtravels I’m really glad I did, I’m not so worn out starting out. Which gave me enough time for a quick bowl of oatmeal @henrystavern #kdlbadventure #zk2019 - on 6/18.

instagramed: Purse knitting in line for the ticket counter. Got here extra extra time early to try to be near the front of the line (better chances at wheelchair assistance! #disability) – I’m preceded by 3 people/couples and a high school team or field trip of like 15. Close but no cigar! Still should be fine though 🙂 #kdlbadventure #zk2019 - on 6/18.

instagramed: Getting this sweater started so I knew what to do with it, and it’s so easy to just want to knit knit knit on it and not stop! It’s definitely coming with me to #zk2019 :)#projectsweaterchest - on 6/15.

instagramed: 2 1/2 eps of #thelastship later, I’ve taken out a few rows on each side of my failed brioche bind off and did a 3 needle bind off instead. Not completely reversible, but it’s not too noticeable on the front side 🙂 pretty glad I didn’t throw in the towel!! #whenknittingattacks - on 6/14.

instagramed: how do i pick which palettes to bring on #kdlbadventure ?!! the bigger ones are @colourpopcosmetics single shadows and blushes, several layers of them. then some other 9-pan/other palettes. i am excited to create fun looks while i’m traveling. so there is a ton of opportunities in this drawer! #colourpopme #fancifulchatter - on 6/14.

instagramed: ROTFL. I can only laugh. I attempted a brioche bind off, between yesterday and today. and thought I did it right, so I took out the needles that were being waste yarn. Umm, all those little loops on the back of the work are live stitches, so I obviously did something wrong! #whenknittingattacks I’m gonna need better light to pick them up! - on 6/12.

instagramed: I’m not sure I asked for a snail 🐌 friend. But I left him alone! - on 6/12.

instagramed: This is what I was imagining when I set out to get a table for the porch. 🙂 I will need to put sunscreen on my neck or a big hat when I do this though in the future, it’s pretty bright facing the door to keep the sun outta my eyes! Today is going to be a scorcher 93F so I started out the flowers and herbs with water too, even though they got some last night. and now, I’m laying back down to rest 🙂 #porchlife #thebeesarehome - on 6/11.

instagramed: A late donut day sampler 🙂 #krispykreme - on 6/9.

instagramed: I’d really like to call this my swatch and get started. Gauge is matching up. Heh, I know, I might regret this. 😀 #projectsweaterchest - on 6/8.

instagramed: I got all my jewelry returned to the rack yesterday. It’s been a while since that happened! This is a good step in being able to get ready for #kdlbadventure 🙂 - on 6/8.

instagramed: Summer-y food with herbs from my garden!!! Pasta pepper salad with parsley and basil, watermelon feta salad with chocolate mint! #kristineskitchen - on 6/5.

instagramed: This week in the #happyplanner – I love my sassy plant 🌱 sticker and little doodles plants. I’m very light in my planning and stickers but I like what’s here! #missmaker #planahappylife - on 6/5.

instagramed: Finding important Esme #wheelchairlife things in my studio – the wheel lights didn’t get put back on for a bit (plus the battery charger, I’m glad I didn’t have to search more boxes to find that). Hand sanitizer wipes to tuck in the back pocket of the chair are key for restrooms and extra dirty places. And a brand new hanging sanitizer for being close at hand. Not shown, a new pair of gloves, because they get worn out and my last pair has lasted a year. #kdlbadventure #disabledandcute - on 6/5.

instagramed: This is one of my favorite handspun projects ever. The pic of the original skein is the background of my phone! So I knit up this textured cowl with it earlier this year. But it rolled SO much. So I’m ripping it, with different plans. It looks like it matches this gradient! So I have an interesting pattern that I’m going to try it with, it’ll be a little different with the gradient but the idea seems more solid than wearing a curling cowl. 😀 #projectsweaterchest #zkteamboaty - on 6/4.

instagramed: In the hot and cold news, our grill now works, and the AC is hooked up. My dad aided in them both and I got to sit on the back porch (back area? It needs a better descriptor!) and chat with him too, so it’s been a great week getting to spend time with both parents already! #thebeesarehome - on 6/3.

instagramed: I pulled out a second chair today so my mom and I could sit and visit. It’s such a happy spot! We saw birds and gazed on my flower box and tried to guess what kind of dogs were on the other side of the fence. I still want more of a little table so I could eat out here. Also shown is our first grill, which still needs to get hooked up – E’s researching, and def needs another part and maybe a professional. It will be delightful to grill veggies and maybe I’ll even be brave enough to cook meat just for me too! #kristineskitchen #thebeesarehome - on 6/2.

instagramed: Pulled out my big suitcase that had summer clothes, and things I kept for sentimental reasons and also found 5 handknits I didn’t know what to do with when I was unpacking. Ill fitting or worn out or too small now. The worn out out (green), i might try finding my gleaner and attacking the the nublies. 2 are probably still a size I could wear. One of the two small, I’m saving because I really did love it. And the other might get ripped because I love the yarn. I know there are also a few more in my currently wearing shelf that haven’t been worn and need decisions as well. #projectsweaterchest - on 6/1.

instagramed: I have been blessed abundantly with friends. It’s been a rough week, and I’m healing, thank goodness. And @rebeccaruth_reamssmith and @spugwit loved on me 🙂 what a pretty addition by my bed. 💗🌺🌹💐🌸 - on 5/31.

instagramed: Comfort knitting and re-watching Flashpoint. Taking it super easy with less multitasking than normal after a falling incident earlier (I’m ok). I’m in no hurry to finish this knit because it’s so nice to knit on. 🙂 #zkteamboaty - on 5/28.

instagramed: Not a fan of strawless Starbucks cold cups. The ice gets in the way of liquid flow and stirring isn’t possible. Plus, I have to take it all the way out of my cup holder and up to my face, and when I’m wheeling, my hands get unsteady. The lid before kept splashing down. I should have asked for a straw, but I hadn’t tried it yet so I figured I better. #starbucks - on 5/26.

instagramed: So I’m watching the first ep of #the100 for this season and I wlsaid “dude, that’s Beacon Rock”. (Just up the highway from where we first lived in Washougal, WA) E was unconvinced and I just spent a bunch of time watching the seconds it was in the frame and then tried to find the right angle of the gorge on google. And LOL, the photograph that used to hang in my hallway is sitting only a few feet away and of course that showed it off perfect. While it’s not the whole image because additional layers are in there, the rock and first layer of mountains around it are SPOT ON. GO ME. ⛰ Beacon Rock’s claim to fame is that it’s the 2nd largest freestanding rock in the world. You can climb it on its switchbacking paths. #fandom fun for the #columbiarivergorge - on 5/25.

instagramed: This morning’s major accomplishment: the linen now has a closet! When we were buying this house, I realized there was no linen spot. So everything has been in boxes except a few of what we needed. When we built E’s part of the wardrobe, we extended it so it had this space!! No more linen boxes!! Next up, buying new towels because mine are from when I first graduated from college 😀 #thebeesarehome - on 5/25.

instagramed: This week’s #happyplanner spread is pretty basic, a little washi, a few stickers, and a pop-in note card with knitting things on the back. (Okay, it’s a list of things to brainstorm, but that’s still something!) #planahappylife #plannergeek #missmaker “I love naps, movies, and long walks to the kitchen “. - on 5/23.

instagramed: Corn and pepper flatbread with rotisserie chicken, fresh mozzarella, and fresh herbs, topped with a balsamic reduction. Yum. #kristineskitchen - on 5/21.

instagramed: Kristine kristine quite contrary, how does your garden grow? Okay, it’s drizzled a little, so it only needed a touch of water but I can’t help come out here and see how it’s going. 🙂 everything is looking so good! #kristineskitchen - on 5/21.

instagramed: Knit in bed with #theresident for a while this evening, working on catching up with #conic 🙂 my current only real in process project is my Nuvem and I’m just not knitting as much as normal… but I am glad for such an awesome project when I am feeling it. #teamboaty - on 5/18.
