What are you currently working on? Any Christmas presents for someone else or yourself? Or are you planning your next projects?

Currently I’m working on 4 projects (all for myself):

The “Lattice Love Beanie” by hear hook home with a gorgeous yarn I found at a yarn fair. It’s so soft and I love how it works up. I’m just afraid that I don’t have enough yarn.
The Rancher Shawl by TL Yarncrafts. Also with yarn I you at a fair, and I’m finally making some progress on it. It’s probably going to be the project I’ll take with me to entertain me during Christmas travels.
Moroccan Tea Blanket. I love the shawls, and I now I now started this blanket. It’s probably going to be my 2024 project.
Socks. I am so over knitting this pair of socks. I want to be a sock knitter, but I’m not. Working 9 months now on this pair, and my 2nd sock is about 1/4 done…

I wanna try making socks, but they intimidate me so badly! Some people swear they're not that bad, but idk...

For now I'm working on this Yule Throw (but I'm using Lion brand wool ease in forested heather or some such instead) as a gift to my brother and sister in law, and after that I'll be back to crocheting a sunburst granny-square blanket for my first born that's on the way :)

Oooh this is so cute! That’s going to be such a nice Christmas present!

How exciting! I’m sure it’s a great way to make some Memories for you and your first born. How far along are you?

The thing about socks is that 75% of the way I hate making them, but that last quarter is satisfying and I also think it’s not that bad, so I make another one. And then the circle begins again…

I am 16 weeks along, thank you for asking! I definitely understand that cycle, I think that's how I've gotten so many projects in my unfinished pile right now lol. The struggle is real
