DC area checking in. They are super popular right now, especially roasted or deep fried. Fortunately, I haven't seen anyone serving the boiled nasties my mom used to make...

That looks fabulous! I really like the big stitched and the drape. You are all set for winter. :)
I didn't learn about this until today.

Did you manage to finish? Looks like it is going to be a beautiful sweater.

That's a very beautiful photo. Any idea how cold the water is? Looks like it would be freezing.

Taffy is very cute! Is that belly a trap, or can you pet it?

Ooh, I forgot about Sheetz. They used to have good breakfast sandwiches. I've never made it to a buc-ees, but I've heard good things.

Yeah, most of them do double duty with a shop inside. The snacks and drinks usually have a high markup, but there aren't a lot of free-standing minimarkets except for a few 7-11s.
Then there's Wawa, which is the weird outlier. :) I think they sell gas as a side business. The inside is all about getting food.

Portuguese style looks really interesting! I learned to knit after learning to crochet, so I've only ever gotten the hang of continental.

Philly!! Looks great.
I made a neat shape yesterday called a humybug. I'd never done one before. Followed the tutorial here: https://plushcat.blogspot.com/p/humbug-tutorial.html. You start with a rectangle and sew it into a little tetra shape. It's cute. I think it would make a good cat toy. :)  
It's summer in the southern hemisphere. Perfect time to knit a pair of wool socks!! This is a toe up, 3x1 rib sock with fish lips short row heel. Probably too bulky to go in shoes, but I can wear them around the house when it's cooler out. Yarn is Naturally Gallipoli from the craft store. It feels a lot nicer than I expected. 
I used the recipe from Korean Bapsang blog, and tossed in an extra red capsicum. https://www.koreanbapsang.com/japchae-korean-stir-fried-starch/. Very tasty, and I like how she makes a batch of sauce at the start. No pics. We ate it all.
I made the [criss cross top pattern](https://www.purlsoho.com/create/2018/08/31/criss-cross-top/) a few years ago on my lk-150 knitting machine. I converted it to knit flat and match my gauge using knit picks cotlin. The ribbing and cable are hand manipulated, which involves changing the orientation of stitches (purls to knits) and moving the individual stitches to different needles on the needle bed. It was pretty tricky to do the big 9x9 cable cross on the machine because it couldn't stretch the yarn across the needle distance. I ended up hand sewing shut the large holes on either side when I did the finishing. I think it came out nice, but I don't really wear sleeveless tops. It just hangs out in my closet collecting dust. :)
 All my stitchy stuff is either in a storage unit or in transit as part of a big move, so I've been stuck with one Santa kit, the extra aida from the kit, and random thread leftovers in a ziplock baggie. I could buy supplies, but I'm way too cheap to buy things I already own. I used the scraps to make some goofy decorations for my home office. Just winged the patterns, no finishing, stuck to the wall with t-pins for now.
