Rambled Photographs

Rachel. I take photos. I knit things. I write stuff.

This gingham knitting is so much more satisfying than intarsia. Hoping to convert this type of pattern over to a red/green Santa hat for myself sometime soon.

Accidentally got sent a bunch of stuff that wasn't supposed to be a part of my order. Repacking and shipping things back (but hey, I did learn that our Walgreens down the street has a convenient option to ship off pre-labeled FedEx packages).

So many summers of my life have revolved around Warped Tour. When they called it quit a good few years ago (2018?), it felt like time. The crowds were getting smaller, the lineup was becoming a lot less desirable year over year. But they've been hitting nostalgia hard and I couldn't say no to this year's lineup.

I honestly couldn't tell you the last time I saw Simple Plan, oddly enough. I think it may have been Warped Tour Ventura, pre-lineup change. So good to finally see them in a non-festival setting again for the first time in far, far too long.

I would like all spinach & artichoke dip served this way from now on.

Never thought I'd find myself sheltering in an old reformatory during oncoming storms, but here we are.

More than questionable air quality. The AQI hit 400+ at one point as smoke blew through from the Canadian wildfires.

What a silly experience to see a bunch of rockers/metalheads/etc take over an otherwise assuming chain hotel for a weekend in the middle of Ohio.

I had zero clue what I was signing up for with this book, and what a pleasant surprise it was.

Froyo is mostly an excuse to eat toppings.
