I could make all the bad jokes about leaping years, months, and extra days. But since poor February is still short a day or so, I am not going to indulge. Rather, I am just going to summarize what I have managed to get done. Accomplish is such a freighted word…
Knitting
– made significant progress on the Ten-Stitch Blanket –
I have finished a full ball of each color and am likely to run out of the blue by the end of the next 1-2 sides. This is my car, waiting room, etc project so there isn’t a great hurry…

the other current WIPs
a) The Solar System – ClimbingGoat Designs – left over SAL from ?2022?. I am down to Saturn, Earth, a comet or two and some random fragments.
b) and finally – Aries who is turning out to be a real pain. Whopping number of beads (some of which aren’t available anymore) and just general irritation. But she is 8/12 so I am definitely making progress..
