Kristell's Commonplace

Creation

I don't tag my posts

So I’ve been moving the blog, and as I’ve been doing it I think I’ve found one rule that will help me stick to the new format, and by extension how I organize my life:

Clover Club

Pretty simple drink, heard about it from a miku song actually.

Generic Top-Down Raglan Sweater

Note: This isn’t going to be a traditional knitting pattern, more just notes on how you can make a very generic stockinette stitch sweater that you can then pin your own desings onto.

There’s a lot of anti-aging stuff around the internet, from people saying to put on lotion, to people who are showing you how to redirect your own expressions of basic emotions so you don’t smile. I have my own opinions on the ways that people are trying to avoid the signs of aging, but we won’t go too deep into those. I’d just recommend looking into why, and realizing that once you hit 60 you’re not going to look 20, no matter how little you’ve smiled.

Chicken Noodle Boccoli Cheddar Soup

Exactly what it says on the tin: Broccoli cheddar soup with chicken and noodles

The History of Imperial Units of Measurements

Introduction

Look. Am I horrendously attached to imperial units? No, not really. I like them, I grew up with them, but fundamentally I don’t think I’d pine for inches over centimeters, valuing the simplicity of the foot over the fact that 1/3 of a meter is 333.3333333333… oh you get the point, centimeters.
