What's On My Hooks and Needles:
Finished: nope.
In Progress:

Doing the sides, all the blocks are joined. Done up the side panels. Thinking of the liner, digging out an old flannel sheet.
Lakeside cardigan : Remaining: 1 set of front on panels, each is 2x2, weaving those ends, attaching, then major remaining seams.
Vestuary24: finished the back! Finished the front. Shoulders seamed. Blocking before doing the ribbing: On to the neckline!
The Romjul Sweater 2024 is happening! Cherries! The Sweetheart- a bottom-up sweater in metric measurements, starting with the ribbing at the waistline.
Quilt squares and organizing—9 more squares done, 9 more started—we are at 28 finished so far.

Strategy: what does “taking a break” mean? Early break, clearing social media, cleaning, making space, unplugging. And being tracked via phone and tablet—see letsdodiss and techgirljen on IG.
