Still have one to go.

PB&W by BBK, the only one I'll put wool socks on for in the summer. She is missed.

Two words.

Shingles. Flu.

That's what has been happening since I wrote last. Shingles for the second time, thankyouverymuch, and a nasty flu that wasn't Covid, thankfully. Just now I'm kind of sort of digging myself back up and into the light of real life, so soon I'll be up and running as intended.

Of course I have been knitting and spinning anyway.

This is the first 50g of some Nest Fibre Studio nestlets. Spun on Eeloize, the Electric Eel Nano, plied on a Snyder spindle.

 
Some miniature mitten  ornaments for insta-gratification goodness.

 
Then a start on a merino batt from Yara Fibers spun on my sheep spindle from Snyder

Being accountable to myself.

 OK, all previous plans and promises are scrapped. Here's the new status:

  • start each day by taking care of the dog(s);
  • follow up with some form of exercise for myself every other day (don't let more than two days go by without doing this);
  • clean on non-exercise days;
  • spend at least 2 hours working on developing my designs, dyeing yarn, or developing my online presence;
  • break the "work" (HA!) with another dog walk;
  • then the fun knitting/spinning/crocheting happens.

Obvious exception: Sock Madness or other knitting on a deadline overrides all other knitting, but nothing gets in the way of dogs or exercise.

I got this.
