And here comes 2024. I know most people have been complaining that January is the longest month to have ever monthed, but here at Chez Manda, January passed pretty quickly. And a good amount of knitting happened during that time.

I finished the Boxy sweater I made for my daughter—a project that took four months of active labor to finish—starting off the month with a stash win and some good crafting feelings. I’m very happy with how it turned out, and it felt so nice to see some of my old shop overstock used and made for the person whose love of cartoons inspired the colorway utilized.

Once I finished the sweater, I started what will be another long term project for this year: the first of (hopefully) two modular ten stitch blankets for family members. The first is well on its way, having used just over a skein of sock yarn so far, making a decent dent in the project.

In 2024, my only yarny goal is to knit something every month—the same goal I’ve had for all of the 2020s so far. YES. Goal achieved.

So. What about you, kitten?  Do you have any crafty plans or goals for this coming year? Or have you given up on those and gone into feral crafter mode? Have you started any new projects for 2024?

Take care of yourselves and each other,

XO,
Manda
