YOP #19-20 or I Really Just Can't Be Bothered

It's Saturday. I could almost be writing the post for next week's update. It's taken me long enough to get to the last two weeks to write anything. Not that I haven't tried at least a few times. I've definitely opened this blog and then stared at it. That counts as attempting, right? It's been a productive, and trying, couple of weeks.

I'm nearly done with Husband's cowl. It needs to have ends woven in and then the two ends joined together. While I'm sure it's easier than my brain is currently thinking it to be, it's a little more complicated than something I can just walk and knit at the same time. Of course, it's also become stupid cold, so it's harder to walk and knit anyway. I'm very happy with how the colorwork has turned out on this and work had enough shows that I was able to spend a lot of quality time working on this project. (There will eventually be pictures).

Progress has been made on the TARDIS shawl though it won't be done in time for Chicago TARDIS, which is this next week. Hopefully it'll be done next year, though there is still a chance it'll be off the needles (though not blocked) by the time the convention starts. We're driving there in our electric car which is going to require quite a bit of charge time, so I intend to do a lot of knitting. Of course, I'll also have some hand sewing left to do. I'm working on a costume for Husband and this will be done in time for the convention.

The latest pair of test socks are also progressing nicely, though not fast enough for my tastes. Nothing seems to these days. I've finished the section the designer wanted tested though I'm planning on finishing the socks. I found an error on the large heel, which I'm actually kind of proud of as it means I'm actually getting pretty good at this whole sock knitting thing.

Now if only I can figure out how to knit faster. I want/need a new hat and mittens. I've got two items to make for my sister. I also want to start and finish another pair of Cookie A socks before the end of the year. I need to somehow become independently wealthy so that Husband and I can both do all the projects we want without having to do that whole work thing. Not that I dislike my work but it would be easier to become wealthy and get rid of work than to stop sleeping.
