Busy little elves: are you hardworking in real life and in your yarn life too?

Dear Community,

Are you busy with your crafts and in real life too? Have you unraveled something, or maybe finished a UFO (unfinished object / craft project)? Have you stayed strong and not bought anything, or was the spring yarn (a popular excuse for buying yarn) quicker?

Hahaha, yeah, started a project (crochet sweater), unraveled it, started over, unraveled it again—somehow I just don’t like crocheting sweaters, even though there are so many great patterns out there. So I thought it over and gave it another try, this time knitting a raglan in stockinette stitch, since the yarn “creates” its own pattern and you don’t have to think while knitting. Now I just have the sleeves left to do, also in the round without a seam—I’ve tried it on a few times, and it fits. ;-)

Best regards, Regina

In my yarn life, I’ve been a bit lazy lately and am still working on the little bear, but I’ve gotten a lot done in real life—that has to happen sometimes too. I still have a few appointments coming up, but then I’ll actually have a completely empty to-do list.

I’ve already been thinking about the colder season and crocheted a warm hat:

Big enough to fit over my hair when it’s pinned up with a barrette.

Hi Veronika, an empty to-do list is a nice thing to have every once in a while. I’m also working at a leisurely pace right now—and pretty slowly. You have to do nothing at all and feel bored every now and then—most people can’t do that anymore these days—but I still can ;-). Good luck with your appointments—hopefully nothing but good things!

Best, Regina

Thanks, Regina. There are some good things and a few necessary but annoying ones—as is usually the case. I’m still waiting for the results of a biopsy; it might end up being a bad news appointment, but I’m just hoping it isn’t.

Hi Veronika, I’m keeping my fingers crossed that everything will be okay. 

Best wishes, Regina
