Finished the next pair of socks from my monthly from https://www.ashandevedesigns.com/product-page/copy-of-build-a-beautiful-box-of-sock-club-round-2-may-jun-jul-2024 .
Very pleased with the way they turned out and now waiting (im)patiently for this month's challenge.

Got a tin of chocolates for Xmas. They were delicious. As the old tin I used for some of my knitting notions had finally died, I transferred everything into the new one.
No matter how many times my grandkiddies come, they still have to check in case miraculously the tin contains chocolate again.😅 😜

I definitely need to sort out my yarn.
I have yarn in baskets, in cupboards, and alongside my chair.
The two baskets alongside my chair are my 'working' (...er, um...lol) ones, they're holding the current WIPs that I pick up regularly.
The cupboards hold my main stash and patterns, needles, etc...
Then there are the hand-dyed yarn clubs I belong to that mean I get more each month.

Of course - collecting yarn and using yarn are two different hobbies 😂 😅 😜

Frogging (tinking) it!
Got side track when I started these socks. Made up the pattern as I went but didn't bother writing it down.
Picked it up again a few months later and a) can't remember what row I'm up to, b) what the hell I did, and c) I no longer like the design...lol.
Normally I scribble something out & leave it with the project, this time I didn't. 😜

Made a couple from hand-dyed yarn I already had as the club is only yarn for 12 blocks but I'm making the entire 20 from the pattern - https://berroco.com/patterns/norahs-vintage-afghan

5 x 30cm squares. Each square is different styles of intricately linked cables. Colours - various shades of dark greens and deep grey.

Book 5 of my Silk Rope Masters series is finally finished, I've edited the heck out of it. I can do no more. With nervous anticipation I've sent the MS and the synopsis off to my publisher. Now comes the haunting of my email box for the next three months 👻 ...lol

@SuzyShearer@mastodon.au avatar

My beautiful boy has been diagnosed with cancer (must be in sympathy with my cancer).
Don't know how long I will have him for. He's such a lovely (and fat) cat, I have no idea if the treatment will help.
Love you,❤️ Spot.

He was 13 in December, was a rescue, and is a Harlequin colour. I got him when he was 8 months old.

He weighed 11kg at the start of December, now he weighs 5.5kg.

Finally getting back to writing Book 5 of The Silk Rope Masters. It's slowly coming together - all those green lines mean I'm happy with the chapter for the time being.
I had hoped it would have been completed by now but Cancer stuffed up my progress. I'm still trying to get used to the many side effects from radiation and drug therapy.

I finished my Gnome KAL. They are so cute but sadly no snow here in Lake Macquarie, Australia.
But I've tried to make Mr. Gnightley and Sgnome-man very welcome.

Finally got my yarn for HKAL - Glittering Snowscape Shawl. Big thanks to Russty Yarns (https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/RusstyYarns)for the grey gradients and Thud Yarns (https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/ThudYarns) for the white.
Probably won't start it till autumn - we have 40c (104f) here at the moment. It's only going to get hotter because it's only the start of summer!
