Yay for finishing projects
Nov. 30th, 2022 02:14 pmI finished my knitted gauntlets and I'm very please with how they turned out. It's given me a lot more confidence to make more pieces with stripes/different colours. Here's a picture:

I decided to stick close to home this weekend and I'm glad I did, I got to catch up on a couple of chores, finish my knitting project above, play some video games, and get the Christmas tree up. It's not decorated yet but at least it's up and the lights are all working this year. I am hoping to get started on the decorating tonight and will probably have a picture for my next post.
Other highlights
+ I picked up two new games on Steam thanks to the Black Friday sales: Mortal Kombat 11 & Disney Dreamlight Valley. MK11 was a really good price and I've been getting back into the MK fandom recently thanks to some fics & listening to Mortal Podkast. I always loved the games growing up but I am not good at them, it was more about lore/characters. Plus, MK and Street Fighter were among the few games I could play with female characters which younger me was all about. The Dreamlight Valley was a little more of a whim because one of the YouTubers I watch has been playing it, I've read some reviews comparing it to Animal Crossing, and I was curious. So far, it's pretty cute.
+ John & I had a dinner date with our friends who we haven't seen in a while which was really nice. They've very good cooks and grow a lot (if not all) of their own vegetables so it very yummy. It was good to catch up, especially since I had been feeling a little lonely on the friend front recently. We also got to hang out with their cats which was also lovely. Both John & I grew up with cats so we periodically talk about adopting a cat (or two, I push for two) but we also want to travel some more in the near future so we usually end up shelving the talk. So I enjoy any time I get to hang out with someone else's cats.
