So long, Blogspot. Hello, Wordpress!

I've been wanting to move my blog away from Blogspot for a while but could never be bothered to actually do it. This week was the tipping point though, and I've now fully migrated over to  https://patsypoomakes.wordpress.com/ . The blogspot address will remain here but all new posts will only appear at  https://patsypoomakes.wordpress.com/ .  There are lots of reasons for the move but my biggest one is how hard Blogger has made it for people to subscribe to receive new posts via email. It's such a basic requirement but apparently, they think it's too much to offer.  I'm basing this purely on how I myself prefer to consume this stuff. I can't be arsed with feed readers anymore and emails are easy and convenient. When I receive one, if I fancy reading it, I will click through to it and, if not, I'll just delete it. Another reason is the spat between Google (owners of Blogger) and Instagram/Facebook/Meta. I don't even know if this is still the case anymore ...

A broken deal, more socks and the best garlic bread ever!

So yesterday was ma boy's birthday. Ugh! Last year we made a deal that he was going to stay at 5. We shook on it and everything! But this year, whaddya know??? Well, it didn't happen. This happened instead. Ontem foi aniversário do meu pequeno. Ugh! No ano passado nós concordamos que ele ia parar nos 5 anos. Apertamos mãos e tudo! Mas esse ano, adivinha? O acordo foi pro brejo e foi isso o que aconteceu... Birthday buns

FO: Butterflies are free by Rose Hiver

Today is an FO day. I finished the socks! Go, me! I actually finished knitting them on Sunday but only got round to taking pictures yesterday. I am far too excited about these so there's a bucket load of photos. Hoje é dia de FO (finished object - objeto terminado). Terminei as meias! Wahey! Na verdade eu terminei domingo à noite mas só deu pra tirar fotos ontem. Estou contentíssima com elas o que explica a montanha de fotos. Butterflies are free

Spots, butterflies and chocolate balls

So I haven't posted in a few days... Life's been getting in the way but normal service seems to have been resumed now, thankfully! Não posto faz uns dias... Foi a vida me atrapalhando mas agora tudo já se normalizou. As I mentioned before, I am doing this: Como eu já disse outro dia, estou fazendo parte nessa KAL: It was all going incredibly well and I finished the first sock in about 4 days - which is unheard of for me! I had hoped to have the sock finished by last weekend but of course knitting had to get its own back and play a trick on me, didn't it? And it was a good one!!! I finished the full leg of the second sock and as I got ready to start the heel flap, it suddenly dawned on me... The sock's design is bloody mirrored and I had gone and knitted the left leg chart again! What an idiot... Estava tudo indo super bem e eu terminei a primeira meia em apenas 4 dias. Achei que fosse terminar o par no fim de semana mas os deuses do tricô tinham outros p...
