You're recovering from surgery, and you need to fill the time while you rest. Do you:
A) Read the news? (Ew, no!)
B) Work on current knit projects? (Meh...)
C) Open and work on that @hooklinetinker.bsky.social embroidery kit you've had stashed for a couple of years? (Oh, YES!)
A half-completed embroidery project of a stylized reindeer embellished with Nordic motifs. The fabric is off white and the embroidery floss is dark blue.

Less time obsessing over the news = more projects finished.

Mittens for a special kiddo whose hands are always cold, made in Schoppel Edition 3, color 2401 Teils Heiter.

A Sea Glass Hat in assorted scraps of Jamieson's Spindrift.

A pair of mittens knit from yarn that creates semi-random stripes of varying widths. The stripes are shades of yellow, turquoise, and lime green. A knit beanie with a dark brim and lighter colored body. The hat was made with scraps of yarn in several colors, so there are narrow stripes in the fabric. There is a pom pom on top

Day of Service: I'm making more pairs of Knitted Knockers because today is the perfect day to think of others and do something that puts some kindness and love into the world.

It may not look like much now but this is a pile of Great American Aran Afghan squares that took me two years to knit and will hopefully be a finished project by the end of the week. 🧶

A pile of afghan squares knit out of a pale yellow yarn sits on a wood-grained table top. A blue crochet hook is stuck through a small ball of yarn that lies in front of the pile of afghan squares.

Thankful for people who share "how-to" videos on YouTube because with their guidance and an hour of my time I was able to replace a blower motor resistor and get the heater fan in my car working again.

Because I knit so I don't unravel 😉, I finished this one, too:
