March 2021

Blocking, so much blocking....

These though look amazing once they are blocked, so that's great :)

I was hoping to block about 7 at a time. the max is around 2 or 3, but they look so much better when I block fewer at a time, so that's grand in my books.

  2. 1 Illuminated lines square
  3. 1 EPP Medallion
  4. Knit for fun

              February 2021

               I have been so ill on the weekends this month, I am amazed I survived. 2 weekends spent asleep due to migraines, is not my idea of fun, in the slightest. Oh well. We shall prevail, and hopefully I will get something done in March.

                                          Well hello there new year, full of hope.

                                      It was full of hope, still somewhat full of hope...but I am currently just unsure of anything, aren't we all?

                                      1. Read 1 chapter of a book per day - I think I am doing better with this.
                                      2. Find more projects I can knit on the treadmill -Trying to run on the treadmill and knit afterwards
                                      3. Spin, and enjoy spinning all the more. - so much fibre so little time
                                      4. Look after myself, feel better, stay strong, do more things to better my physical being, fix hip, fix migraines, who knows
                                      5. Track how much yarn I use in a year, somehow!! Do what makes sense for you - right...
                                      Yardage so far for 2020: 15,312 approximately...
