So. I decided with my greatly reduced crafting desire and energy that tracking my stash more than bi-annually makes no sense. So here it is: the first half of 2024. As y’all can see, very little happened here. There was a little stash-shuffling, but not much. I could have counted my finished blanket squares in those numbers to make things more dynamic, I suppose—as I will never reclaim that yarn even if the blanket is never finished—but I’ve opted to save them until the project is finished. One way or another.

There really isn’t much more to say about this topic right now. I’ve just been in a state of…existing for the last 6 months. I’m finally starting to recover some of my energy and desire to actively do things, but I’m still not out of the recovery woods yet and should see marked improvements over the final 6 months of 2024. I’m hoping this translates to more active crafting time as well as increased focus and desire for other hobbies. We’ll see how it goes.

Stay safe, keep wearing your masks and cleaning your hands, hydrate, and take care of yourselves.

Aaaaand….another month come and gone.

Finished the same blanket square I’ve been picking on for five months now. So glad to finally have that one over; it was the most difficult to pull colors for, as I’m not a fan of either red nor blue as a rule. The third square I started is more in my wheelhouse: oranges and purples with grays and a little brown. I’m genuinely excited to work on this one and seem to find excuses to just sit down with a show and work on it. It’s been growing so fast. I have a feeling I will wrap this one up pretty fast and will be able to move onto the fourth square, maybe even before the month of July is over.

In 2024, my only yarny goal is to knit something every month—The Goal of the 2020s, it would seem. Yes! Absolutely did more days than not.

So. What about you, kitten?  What have you been up to? Reading any good books? Watching anything interesting? Maybe listening to podcasts? Have any new cast ons or longer projects you’re working on?

Take care of yourselves and each other,

XO,
Manda
