It's been a fairly calm week here at chez woolly. We're all recovering nicely from our bout with The Plague(tm). I still get tired really easily (and can't tell if the brain fog is due to Covid or from being a Woman of a Certain Age), but overall I am feeling loads better.
I am continuing to make steady progress across several projects, and that feels great. I haven't worked as much on the blanket as I thought I would, but enh, it's whatever. It'll be done when it is done - I only have 4.5 border rounds to go so once the mood strikes it won't take long.
I have, however, made lots of progress on the Glittering-Whatsit shawl that I abandoned last year. I mathed it out that if I can knock out 8 repeats a week, I'll have it done by the end of April. So far so good!
The sock continues to see some action, albeit not quite as much as I'd hoped. Patterned socks (even patterns as simple as a 2x2 Broken Rib) always take me longer, and I always underestimate it.
This picture was taken on Saturday on my way to meet up with Rhiannon for Modern Daily Knitting's Nash Yarn Fest, where I suffered from utter and absolute camnesia. Truly a blogger's fail, I tell you. But I did run into some lovely friends who live in the internet, which was wonderful, and Rhi and I had a great time. The crowds were a little overwhelming (and the weather a little exciting), but all in all I'm very glad we went and excited that they've already announced that they plan to do it again next year.
In other making news, I decided to cast on the Spring pattern of the Stardew Valley socks that Rhi got me for Christmas year before last. I thought the equinox was a perfect time to start it, and even queued up one of the Spring songs from the OST to listen to while I worked on it. A++ nerdery, would go again. I would show you the picture I took with my laptop open to the Stardew Valley soundtrack on Spotify, but after I took the picture I realized that my laptop screen is filthy, and that will not be going on the internet.
My current plan is to start the summer pair on the Solstice and so on and so forth. I may only knit one of each pair and hang them on my wall in sock blockers as art - I haven't fully decided yet. More on that as it develops!

Those socks are going to be such fun, both to knit and to wear!
Will you be at SSK this year? I just got in off the waitlist, so I'll be there -- and I'm bringing my daughter!
I will! I knew you were on the waitlist - I'm so glad you got in. I can't wait to see you and to meet your daughter!
