Hardworking little helpers: What are you working on today?

Dear users, dear authors,
dear little helpers,
what are you working on?

I’ve finished and uploaded the pattern so far. Now I’ve earned a break, though some new yarn was delivered today... I hope I don’t give in to temptation ;-)

I'm knitting a warm, cozy stole for my sister, because she is very ill and has lost an awful lot of weight, so she gets cold very quickly. At a height of 176 cm, she now weighs just under 54 kilos, and that's too little. I still had some eyelash yarn lying around, so I plied it with a solid gray wool, and now I'm knitting the stole for her with thick needles.
I won't be getting to the sewing machine anytime soon either, because my back has really gone out, and not just a little. I was already at the doc yesterday to get an injection, and I'm going back tomorrow, because for 4 nights now I haven't been sleeping properly because of the pain. Sitting is no good, lying down and standing aren't either; it's enough to make you tear your hair out. So I'm knitting, otherwise I'd go crazy.

Best, Inge

I’ve started crocheting a shawl. Will I ever get tired of it?

It’s a lightweight shawl made of 99% cotton, and since the weather here is absolutely gorgeous right now, I spend a lot of time crocheting on the patio in the afternoons. 

I’d like to work through my “mending pile” (things that need mending, torn pants, jackets, etc.) this week before I start something fresh and new 

I actually have a pair of socks on my needles....
It’s the first time I’ve ever knitted socks, and I’ve been knitting for 30 years...
And I still need to finish a crocheted bag 😇
This afternoon, my yarn stash will finally “shrink” by a whole three moving boxes—it’s going to a residential group as a donation. And I’ll finally have some “breathing room” again and can then buy yarn “specifically” for projects close to my heart. So excited.... 

I’m still knitting my jacket—maybe I’ll finish it this week. 

I’m currently crocheting a sofa pillow from leftover yarn. It should be finished today. But now the stuffing has slowed me down. The pillow insert came out of the package completely tattered. It’s only good for stuffing now.
At the store, they said, “We don’t have any more, but we’ll get them back eventually.” The next store only had larger ones. So I bought some yarn. Same color number, but a different batch. I hope it doesn’t stand out too much.

Well, it’s finished now, but I don’t like it at all. It’s 50 x 50 cm; it was only supposed to be 35 x 35 cm. I’ll take a look at it over the weekend, and if it bugs me, I’ll rip it out again.
