So I am going to finish this big afghan in record time thanks to the hearings

When I get furious I pick up the yarn. The work really calms me down.

It's going to be pretty; shades of gray with black and white self striping cake yarn. Granny stripes.

What are the rest of you doing ?

Gift for our niece.

Been doubling recipes and I’ve gotten through 4 batches. My goal is 10 different kinds. Freezing them and then give out boxes of them as gifts. Best part is I’m GF (celiac) so I can’t eat any...otherwise, would have gained 10lbs by now!

I got bit by a spider on my dominant middle finger. Improving, but still tender.

I haven’t sewed a stitch in 2 weeks! I am jonesing to sew so bad! My poor husband is afraid to talk about it.

Your project sounds really pretty. Self-striping yarn, eh?
Gotta google that.
