I mean I’ve always been quite clear about being easily amused. I never suggested I had a particularly sophisticated taste or an especially nuanced perspective on the world. But even I am somewhat concerned by how amusing the tiny knitting robot* and its tiny, perfect icord output are to me.

I mean I take comfort from the notion that I am at least in good company, for quite a few of you seem to be as amused as I am. And clearly you are all competent adults who make good choices and run your lives smoothly and without the intervention of any sort of supervisory agency. So perhaps I’m not completely hopeless…or perhaps I’m just good at hiding it.

Either way, I’m now well equipped with an array of squirmy tentacles to wrap around the branches of either a tree or a wreath, depending on how long the enthusiasm lasts.

*amazon affiliate link, and amazon is the devil, so if you’re able to buy this at your local yarn shop for sure do that! But if you’re not, and you’re gonna get it from the bad guys, I don’t mind if they give me a tiny sliver of their ill-gotten gains. Because yeah, they’re evil, and also we are all enmeshed in the late capitalist hellscape and need to do what we need to do to navigate our days, and sometimes that means ordering from the bad guys because everything else is too hard.
