December was another month where basically all I worked on was one project. Except for two quick magnets and a few rows on my Patons socks, I knit just about all of Cempasúchil in December. This worked out great for me though, as I was able to get that off the needles ahead of schedule. January will be mostly about my new test knit, this is secret so though you won’t see much of it). I think I am also going to cast on another pair of socks. I am getting kind of bored of the stockinette socks, and the thicker/ rougher Patons yarn with the 9 inch circs is starting to annoy me. I’m not sure if I’ll frog those (feel like I probably should) or just start another pair and come back to those eventually. As I said in my yearly overview yesterday, I am hopeful to be doing more things, including stage managing a musical which has auditions this month. So total knitting may slow down or focus on more transit-friendly items. The good news is that my other test still isn’t due until mid-March, and the stitch count looks like I’ll need to get to less than 1,000 per day, even if I want to finish it before the end of February, so I shouldn’t get too stressed out working on that.
I’ll leave you all with my 1 second a day video for this month. I hope you all have a great day! Did you accomplish what you wanted to in December/2021? What will you be working on in 2022?
