I've seen people say they have over 90 and 100 wips, so it could be worse... While I currently only have four wips (two are longterm fingering weight blankets), I need to get the other two wips (one's a blanket), plus another blanket, a fingering weight cardigan, and 5 more sock-sized projects done before the end of the year. I'm not a fast crafter, so that amount is elephant-sized for me. But, you know, one bite at a time... Thanks for showing the turtle romper unbuttoned; in all the times I've seen it, I never knew it was like that. That's really cool! I don't think you mentioned it before, and forgive me if you have and I missed it, but for your rhss stripes project- did you toy with the counts and hook until you liked the pooling, or did the ball band give you a pattern to follow? Did you say you're using a 4mm hook with (I'm guessing) aran weight? No wonder your hands hurt. You seriously have my deepest sympathies.😖 It looks really neat though!

@@christinescamihorn6609 I watched a video on KZfaq about color pooling. They go through how to determine your hook size and how to “fudge” without it showing visually. Yes, 4mm. Le sigh. It is worsted. One day I will get it finished.

My goodness, you've been busy! Everything is so beautiful and I'm looking forward to seeing your Celtic Grace cardigan finished. I so agree..summer has just flown by! Like you though, I'm loving my time I get with my grands. My daughter finally got a great job with the state, so I'm helping her with the kids as much as I can, since she's a single parent. The boys both play football (JV this year!), so it's practice every day. They don't live close to their high school and don't drive yet, so I'm the taxi for now. 😂 Wow, your thick and thin yarn you spun is amazing, KaRi!! I don't think I could do that if I tried my hardest. It's gorgeous!! ❤

That blue sweater is really pretty! Is it bad etiquette to ask you to give me first dibs on the magenta and charcoal yarn if you decide to sell it? 😏 Seriously, I love that color combination. You're the first person I've ever seen actual do a planned pooling with rhss. Although I made a Christmas afghan fifteen years ago and just noticed last week that the variegated yarn actually made a pattern when I made it. 🤦♀️😂 From a Hoosier, hope you stayed warm this week!

As for health, smarter food choices and move more. My other goals are to do charity knitting, read 2 books per month, and a few dog goals (I show dogs). I'm excited about the clue!
