This past year was not my most productive for crafting. I only finished a few things - 1 cowl, 1 pair of socks, 3 sweaters, 1 small cross stitch, and 21 ounces of fiber was spun. There was quite a bit of stitching on other cross stitch projects, but they are large and long term. The yarn stash saw 31.5 skeins used and 278 skeins added. I couldn't resist that big sale at the end of the year from Knit Picks with a few orders placed. Several sweater quantities were bought. I only added 32 ounces to the fiber stash so that was not too bad of an increase of 11 ounces. Several cross-stitch kits have been added to that stash as well.
I was doing well until I got sick in May. Recovery has been slow and includes many naps. My energy level is still low. I hope to knit 4 sweaters, and a few other items in 2024. One of my targeted items is to finish my oldest WIP - Vivid Blanket. I'm thinking of just sewing the squares I have and see how big it is. My husband is not fond of the idea of putting it on the bed. He thinks it will be too heavy and warm. I can use it in my recliner instead.
I had cataract surgeries a couple weeks ago, so no spinning lately. I have safety glasses to protect my eyes from any errant fibers in the future. I hope to set my mini spinner up next week after my final post-op visit if the doctor says it's o.k. now.
