October 2018

The snow is now on the ground, and as part of a promise to myself and to others I am trying to get at least 7 hours of sleep a night, every night to see if that changes my life.
As a result this greatly cuts into my knitting time.....who knows really it it will change anything at all...but here we go.
That goal of sleeping 7 plus hours a night is not going well I think I am getting less now than I was before. C'est la vie. I tried. I probably should keep trying.
I was also tracking skeins of yarn in vs yarn out in a spreadsheet, and then using another spreadsheet to track projects started finished and the amount of yarn I had used in a month, but guess what, that is a crazy obsessive insane idea, and one I should really only attempt again if I am actually going to do something with the information. Would it better if I did a spreadsheet for each month, yarn in/out, etc all on the one? Stop overthinking this, you do not need the extra stress.

WIP's:

  1. Lestrange Cloak
    • I really want to say that I finished this, but I did not. 
      • I soon will have 5 sleeves for this sweater not just 2 or even 3. The first one was too short, the second too are not wide enough to go around the tops of my arms, and as much as I want to just be able to fix them as they are now, that will make me unhappy. So I shall get there, but it will take me longer
    • The sweater as it stands now, a sleeveless one is gorgeous and I would for sure wear it with no sleeves, but
