When you’re bad at chicken math, you end up overloaded with eggs! This was springtime last year and man…. If I would have known how expensive eggs would become…..
Moonlight Chicken: Chinese Zodiac
↣ Those born in the Year of the Ox are faithful and inspire trust in them. They are good at managing, but may be a little strict. Oxen like routines and respect traditional ideas, doing things step by step. This persistence makes them become tireless workers.
They are likely to be self-made and insist that everyone should do their part. Although a little conservative, Oxen always try to keep just and fair, no matter in life or at work, and never let people down.
“The average Pirates smp character has 1.5 pets” factoid is a statistical error Scott Denholm who lives on a cliff side and has 30 pets is a statistical outlier and should not have been counted
Thinking about that time my one middle school teacher took my class outside and had us act out crash landing on a deserted island.
Like, we got separated out into groups, had to draw the injuries we got from the "crash" out of a hat, and then each group given a random assortment of gauze and bandaids and told us that we could only use whatever we had on us to try to save the critically injured & survive.
Then she just sat to the side and watched us all stumble through this wild exercise for the rest of class period, called us all together, told us we all were very stupid about how we handled everything and that we died, brought us back inside and never brought it up again.
Same teacher had us read like four different books about children having to survive the wilderness on their own the next year. Never brought up the weird fake survival thing we did the year before. I'm low key wondering if she was just weirdly into that show Lost or something 🤔
I don't really think about shawl sizes outside of yardage, so I didn't pay a bit of attention when the listing said this shawl would be 8 feet wide at the wingspan. I regretted that when I realized I didn't have enough foam blocks for pinning and had to cannibalize them from the center part of the shawl.
This was a very lovely pattern and was a lot of fun to knit even with the incredibly long final rounds/bind off. That being said, if I knit it again I'll make several changes purely out of personal preference. In my opinion, most of the thin stripes are very lovely and accent the piece well, but some (mostly the middle width stripes) I think are distracting(?)
For example there's a thin dark grey stripe and a medium mid grey stripe in between the sipped stitch dots section and the half twisted rib section. The dark grey stripe looks really really good. However I think if the mid grey stripe was instead more half twisted rib (making the whole half twisted rib section about a third wider), it would be more attractive. I'm a big fan of thick stripe with thin stripes in between them look tho, so like I said, purely personal preference stuff.
Regardless of my nitpicks, he's a very pretty shawl and exactly what I wanted to make with this yarn when I bought it nearly a year ago. I'm not really a colourwork guy but I wanted something outside my comfort zone both in fiber (to that point I mostly worked with acyrlics or cotton) and technique (it was several years since I last did any sort of stranded or slip stitch colourwork). Between Shawl 12 and this shawl, I've learnt that I really do like fingering weight wools when they're non superwash, and I can do attractive and well tensioned colourwork (with a bit of help from blocking).
split into two (it's about 14k and showing no signs of stopping where i wanted it to originally)

Based on this and my post-canon Gocho AU where Gojo came back to live and became the Principal. He gave a written test to Choso for Jujutsu High staff recruitment.
😎: Yuuji asked me to teach you more how to live as a modern human. Also if you work here at school you can make a better living with more stable income.
🩸: Yuuji is the kindest kid. He loves me and cares about my well-being *smiles smugly*
😎: He said if you get a stable job as one of the staff then he can finally go to missions alone again without you following him all the time. You annoy him with that so he just tries to get you out of his hair.
🩸: Yuuji is in his rebellious phase.
😎: Whatever. Anyway, I've never seen grades this low before. Even Yuuji's language tests have better results than these. Could it be that you're not good at reading and writing?
Choso can't accept that, as a big brother he needs to set an example for his little brother.
🩸: It's not that. I was just feeling under the weather when I took the test.
😎: Okay. Then let's try again. Read the words in no. 1 and 2. You should be familiar with these since you know them a lot.
🩸: alright.
😎 : How do you read no. 1? (the kanji for Getou)
🩸: Natsuabura (summer oil).
😎: ....
😎: No. 2? It's something you eat with Yuuji before. (kanji for senbei=rice crackers, the word 'before' in Japanese is mae)
🩸: *squinting his eyes, trying hard* Mae...mochi.
😎:
After this Gojo has no choice but to give Choso private tutoring sessions 👀😏
