I bought new needles but I keep using the old ones

Yesterday I helped P with more tree-sitter debugging, prototyped the
three-pleat version of the side back panel for the wool skirt but
ultimately decided I liked two pleats better, used my croquis to catch a
huge error in length and re-traced everything with the correct sizes,
finished laying out the large pattern pieces, and sewed tailor tacks for
the pleat markings. I walked away before cutting just in case some other
mistake dawns on me. Oh and I rescued the canvas and voile from the dryer
and ironed everything.

Leftover pilaf for lunch, fresh food for dinner.

Planning to wing the pleats may backfire

Yesterday I drew up all the pattern pieces for the wool skirt, as well as
the assembly plan. I gave P a crash course in CFGs, and together we wrote
one for ConTeXt in prep for writing a more-rigidly-formatted one to serve
as input to a program called tree-sitter. With some difficulty we managed
to get most of the easy categories imported. Documentation is extremely
light on the ground, so troubleshooting was frustrating.
