I finished knitting bunny. Now blocking, stuffing, and dressing. I also spent almost four hours trying to finish up the bedroom, but still not quite there. It’s looking good, though! I also got to have lunch with Myrna, whom I haven’t seen in ages. It was a pretty full day.

When we tried to install a Ring doorbell by ourselves and shorted it out within an hour, I called an electrician to install it for us. He quoted us $915. So Billy bought a $25 part and goddamn it, we did it ourselves. So far it’s still working and the house hasn’t burned down, so…

Sha’lyce requested a stuffie and I am happy to oblige. This little girl is knitting up so cute, but my fingers are numb from using the teeny tiny needles. It’s worth the pain. Now of course Robin and Christina each want one too. I’m making theirs with bigger needles.

I intended to gift this scarf last Christmas, but it took me a year to tie in the loose ends and block it. Hopefully it is going to a good home.

Coming along after a rough start. I really hope it fits, although I have a sinking feeling that it may be a little tight. I really didn’t understand the measurements in the pattern diagram. Oh well. It’ll fit somebody.

378 stitches, over an hour of knitting just to cast on. This sweater is going to be a monster to knit. It better fit. I am very uncertain about the size. The pattern says all measurements are in cm, but if that’s the case, then the large size has a 17-inch bust, which simply can’t…

I just haven’t had the time, energy or inclination to take daily photos, but I am committed to it. I’ve picked up my knitting again for the first time all year. I don’t know if people appreciate the things I make for them, but at least it keeps me occupied. Right now that’s a good…
