  1. I see myself sinking into an avoiding-social-interaction spiral, and I'm not having it. Stupid illness, stupid interruption to routines....hmph.

    So here's a sort of summary of where we are:

    - #LotR extended edition marathon on Saturday, I started stitching on Errol when they left Lothlorien and then ran out of energy at the end of Two Towers but progress is progress!

    - First of my #EskarinaSocks has been about 2 rounds from completion for over a week now but again, no energy 😩

    - Braved the cinema for husband's birthday, ended up telling off some loud women and now I feel extremely badass.

    - Made #FantasyFootball playoffs, but then said husband knocked me out in the first round despite me having braved the cinema for him. The scoundrel.

    - 4 weeks in and I'm still not breathing right. I wish I could hibernate for a month 😭

  2. Oh also I did take a proper #WIPWednesday photo. The long ribbing makes this one look even weirder than most socks do at this stage!

  3. This sock pattern is really keeping me...wait for it...on my toes!

    *badum-tish*

    None of the usual mindless 4-row repeats I've been used to recently, this is chart central and changes things up every time I get into a rhythm. Loving it though, makes a nice change from my usual.

    And the designer has kindly put a round of all knits in every now and then, just as a nice little reward. Thanks, Rachel Coopey!

  4. Cast on for my #EskarinaSocks (decided on the green yarn with no weird contrast bits, sue me).

    Got the right number of stitches cast on FIRST TIME. Had a hairy moment where some stitches got dropped on the very first row, but managed to recover with NO DRAMA.

    All seemed to be going suspiciously well.

    Yeah, er, might have forgot to actually join in the round 🤦‍♀️
