Rich's boot socks are moving along steadily, mostly because I don't really have to do much thinking while I knit them. However, I did end up stopping on my Sock Madness attempt. I may try again another time, but it was too much, with too little time, and a whole lot of stress going on in the background. In the interim, I've finished the surprise project I was working on, and will likely be able to share it next week.

Aside from our water heater's tantrum, we've had a family issue come up that requires all hands on deck, so we are focusing on that. We are also trying to have as much normalcy as possible, and it is difficult. Please keep our family in your prayers.

Honestly, I am simply not sure how much designing I'll be able to do the rest of this year, and I am not making any promises. There is one pattern I will receive the rights back on this month, and I hope to have that ready to release. However, with all that has been going on, our family would directly benefit from any purchases of patterns you or any knitter you know make.

It is Malabrigo March! Through the end of the day, DST, March 10, 2026, the coupon code MalMarch2026 will get you 25% off of my patterns which feature Malabrigo Yarn on both Ravelry and PayHip. This is a great way to get some fantastic patterns at a discount, and every purchase (whether through the sale or not) will help us replenish our emergency fund.

The Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge has been a little more than I can handle right now wth everything else going on in our lives, so I might put it away for a bit. I finished Mrs. Pollifax on Safari, and really enjoyed it. Rich and I are finishing up Three Bags Full together, and I hope to see the movie when it comes out in May.
