things i have started and finished since i came home for break:
1) a cowl (~100 yards scrap worsted yarn, for grandma)
2) a shawl (~200 yards bulky, for mom)
3) 1 double knit hat (basically two hats, ~500ish yards fingering held double, for hania)
4) 1 SECRET THING (~150 yards handspun worsted, for kay who has a tumblr and therefore secret)
5) headband (~50 yards bulky, for grace)
6) bike band (~100 yards worsted, for grace)
7) bike band (~100 yards worsted, for hania)
8) companion cube thing (~100 yards worsted,v fiddly, for jalen)
9) octopus cat toy (<50 yards worsted, for jack)
things i have started but not yet finished since I came home from break:
1) very nearly all of a sweater vest ( ~500 yards so far sport, for me)
2) 16/42 lace repeats for shawl border (<50 yards so far fingering, for me)
3) one lambing mitt (~60 yards handspun worsted, for me? maybe. thinking about making a head band for me out of that yarn and using a diff yarn for lambing mitts)
4) 6 or so invisible socks (~100 yardsx6, supposed to be socks for mom but oh my lord they never turned into anything wearable and they are in time-out until i can bring myself to try yet again)
Bringing me to a rough total of 2410 yards, 9 finished objects, and only 4 WIP and only two of those are really in play, knitted in almost exactly a month, all of which was from stash and represents a surprisingly substantial reduction in same. (ok, i did buy yarn for hania’s hat but that was a long time ago and i have a bunch left over). oldest stash was the handspun+dyed stuff for the lambing mitts made...7 years ago? ish? a very successful winter knitting season if I do say so myself. i’m a little sad about how much knitting time i’m going to lose once i go back to school, but my spinning wheel is in salem so i can deal with the growing spinning itch i’ve been trying to squash for a couple weeks now. the real reason i want speech to text software is not bc it hurts to write and type but so that i can make things while doing homework...
