Can't sleep, dragonflies will eat me

Weirdest micro dream where I woke up and then went back to sleep for a minute and dreamt that I walked to the door, opened it up and a dragonfly flew into the crook of my neck trying to get past me into the house.  One of the big black ones we have that have the spots on their otherwise clear wings. Totally woke me up with a start.  I don't usually remember my dreams, so this stands out.

I've been dealing with insomnia lately, which is good for my progress in the Vertex (Ravelry pattern page link) knitalong in the Phatfiber group. I'm making a smaller version with some of my fingering weight Three Hares, trying to make it with just one ball.  I really like the shape of this scarf, and I'm intrigued by how the constant row length changes will work out with the dye job.

Last night I didn't just knit. I played with wire, too.  I got caught up in wondering how to include my bunny logo somewhere when I go to festivals, especially if a t-shirt is impractical. And, well, this happened.  It's coated copper wire which is slightly annoying as the coating flakes off. I might have to try it again with an uncoated and heavier gauge copper.  This is 20ga and I also have copper in 18ga.  It's pinned to my Vertex in Progress, Taiga colorway, Three Hares yarn.
