We made it! That last bit was a bit rocky, (no need to worry--life is like that sometimes) and for the last couple of weeks of the year, I had a lot of trouble keeping track of what day or time it was. Much of that lingers, but it seems a little less difficult. I don't have a personal 2022 wrap-up, and I'm just fine with that. We're still here, and that is enough.
Anyway, you're here for amazing knitting content, right? My Featherweight Wrap to Knit has all its ends woven in and it even had a nice soak to wash away the years and, well, you know what a difference a dunk makes. I don't feel like a modeled photo shoot, and it laid out on the floor is not all that impressive for a picture. It is a mainly stockinette, three-quarter-ish-length sleeve, black, lightweight, cardigan. You'll just have to trust me on the finished status, mkay? I like it and might even knit another of this pattern one day.
I finished knitting the final quadrant of the Hue Shift Afghan. I really thought I would have sewn the quadrants together or worked in the ends during the ultra-cold weather, but that didn't happen. I didn't even drag out the other pieces of the blanket. I'll get to it someday. I have some shows I want to watch and I think working on this while I do so will be a good match.
I knit some little bits for the nieces and nephews. I wanted to make many more tiny things, and I even thought of sewing little stockings for each of them to fill with doodads and little knits, but that was not to be, and it was probably just as well. In the end, a snowperson and a chocolate chip cookie felt like the right amount of knitting to attach to their Christmas gifts.
Welcome to 2023! I'm glad you're still here.
