Wow, how the heck is it February already? January was not a super productive knitting month for me, though I did get a lot of productive things done in non-knitting land, like buying and assembling a new bookcase, reorganizing my kitchen, and doing some good cooking! I’m sorry I haven’t been too engaged on here recently, I haven’t had too much brain power honestly. Work has been super busy (I think I had 20 hours of meetings last week), and so has some church work I’m a part of, so I don’t have energy for much except silly phone games and watching Murder She Wrote.
But, let’s keep accountable to myself and chat about the knitting I did do 😜

January was also a very monogamous month for me – I only worked on the Druid Circle Sweater, then the Ursa Sweater and Mixed Precipitation socks! So I mean, I did knit a whole sweater this month! 😁 The Ursa sweater is bulky weight and cropped, so not a huge accomplishment, but nevertheless, it’s a finished object. It will get its own post eventually.
Goals for February are threefold: 1) Actually frog Danzing, which I said I would do last month; 2) Finish Mixed Precipitation socks; 3) Cast on and finish that pile you see up there, which is a test knit of the Fox Spirit Cardi. #3 is due Feb 24, so hopefully it’s another self-contained monthly knit. Get ready for lots of purple and grey over here! I’ll probably cast on another pair of socks once I finish Mixed Precipitation, as I’ve got a few sock clubs I want to work through.
Hope everyone is doing well! If you’re in the path of this winter storm we’re having here on the east coast, stay safe and warm!
