In the Can

• Watermelon Socks (aka Honey Badger Socks) in Mystery Wool
• Mother Bear #4 for Mother Bear Project knit with worsted scraps. Also finished the faces for theMother Bears I finished in October.
• Repaired my Beaded Black Betty. Not really an FO but it sat so long in the mend pile…i’m counting it.

Flops

• Mother Bear #5 – Crochet gauge was too loose and my idea to felt failed. So my sad bear was adopted by my boyfriend.

Now Playing

• Corrie Fair Isle Vest by Knitpicks in Knit Picks Palette on US2/2.75mm – I will be knitting this forever!!!!

• But I am planning on going to Rhinebeck!
