I have no idea how it’s nearly mid-November, and I haven’t made this post yet. October was another blink-and-you-miss-it month for me, and November is already shaping up to be the same.

I put a lot of time and focus into knitting last month. I would love to have all six of the body squares for my spouse’s travel blanket finished by the end of the year—I’m currently about 3/4 through square five—but I don’t think I’m going to quite make it at my current pace. I could, I just have no way of predicting how long my current desire to knit will stick around. Most of last month’s knitting was done while re-listening to a favorite podcast, Ghosts in the Burbs, which was quite enjoyable. I sort of wish I had timed some of these blocks to know how long they take to knit, but I’m off the cuff guessing each is at least 75-ish hours worth of labor? Could be closer to 100 hours. Either way it’s…lots. Lots of knitting. Lots of media ingestion. Lots of time sitting around when often I want to pace and walk and burn off excess energy.

My only craft related goal of the 2020s so far is to knit something every month: totes did.

So. What about you, kitten?  What have you been up to? Reading any good books? Rewatching favorite movies? Listening to some podcasts or new music? Do you have any new cast ons or longer projects you’re working on?

Take care of yourselves and each other,

XO,
Manda
