I lost the first few days of the new year to a rather unpleasant headache (my neck muscles have finally unclenched, mostly), which is entirely unfair as I stuck to water for New Year's to avoid that kind of start.
My official number of completed knitting projects goal for this year is twenty ( I managed twenty five last year); the list I actually wrote out has thirty-eight items on it. The list does not have any Dolores related items. The fourteen Dolores kits I plan to complete this year are, apparently, an entirely separate list/goal/time stream in my head. We shall see how things work out.
There are at least four patterns waiting for me to make muslins, that I might make garments that actually fit, about a dozen pieces (likely more than that) when the sewing is all done. Once I get to them. A couple of the patterns do need to be drafted from scratch, which does slow down the process a bit.
Which is likely why I checked the weather, went digging through my ever growing seed collection, picked out a lettuce, a kale and a tomato variety known for their cold tolerance, and plopped them in the surprisingly soft dirt in the pots on my sheltered porch.
I may not see progress on the craft front as fast as I would like, but I may manage kale in February.
I mean, I've got vanilla and yerba mate in the dining room:
That is a pot of alpine strawberries I started from seed last spring in the background.
And yarn for another sweater will be here by the end of the week. It's purple.
