Slow progress, as per, but it’ll do.

On the left is the start of my Big Damn Heroes shawl, honestly not sure if I’ve posted this here yet but it’s been at least a couple of weeks since cast-on which should tell you all you need to know about rate of completion 😅

Definitely requires a bit more concentration than I’ve been able to give lately, so I just keep defaulting to the socks instead.

Speaking of, that’s the second sock of a pair using the Show Off Stranded pattern.

The weird heel construction (knit the gusset along with the heel flap) resulted in a slightly different fit than I’m used to, but I think it feels ok. Will only really know once I’m wearing them as a pair, so fingers crossed, but the yarn is so happy right now I don’t care about the perfect fit 😄

What’s everyone else been up to? Feel free to humiliate me with your productivity levels, I don’t mind at all…

    Pshhh! That’s nothing. I’ve got a grocery bag that I started over a year ago, and a pumpkin bag I started about 7 months ago…i swear I’ll get to them…after I find where I put the patterns I wrote…:no_mouth:

    Oof! Pain and the digestive issues from trying to get my pains taken care of have me in a daze most days. It’s tough, but I am making headway…slooooowly, heh!

    Am working on another duster for my swiffer thingies…I still don’t feel up to recording a how-to yet, though. I’ll get to it…i’ll get to it.

    Last night, I made a tiny ray out of this yarn, too.

      It’s such pretty yarn I’m almost not even scared of this ray for once! 😄

      What was that quote that used to be the default on new Tumblr blogs? “It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop”? That’s us, we got this. I believe in your grocery bag!
