but it’s been at least a couple of weeks since cast-on which should tell you all you need to know about rate of completion 😅

Pshhh! That’s nothing. I’ve got a grocery bag that I started over a year ago, and a pumpkin bag I started about 7 months ago…i swear I’ll get to them…after I find where I put the patterns I wrote…:no_mouth:

Definitely requires a bit more concentration than I’ve been able to give lately, so I just keep defaulting to the socks instead.

Oof! Pain and the digestive issues from trying to get my pains taken care of have me in a daze most days. It’s tough, but I am making headway…slooooowly, heh!

Am working on another duster for my swiffer thingies…I still don’t feel up to recording a how-to yet, though. I’ll get to it…i’ll get to it.

Last night, I made a tiny ray out of this yarn, too.

I’m rather curious about this, too.

I’ll chime in with what I’ve personally dealt with.

Both Aroma brand

Glass lid, metal cooking pan has a lip that rolls outside of the heating base. Just a simple switch, cooking & warm. Does boil over once in a while, and fairly small…ease of cleaning, really really easy.

Enclosed unit, has a metal pan that goes inside and a steamer basket, has a removeable metal top to clean…haven’t had it for long, but I can imagine the seals will deteriorate and make it not as long lasting as the other pan…However, those seals do make cleaning more difficult.

And finished a squid a few hours ago.

I did make a couple videos on how to make them, but they are complete crap. Wife’s off tomorrow and I have a hell of a lot of anxiety while she’s home, so will try to get the videos done next week.

Ok! Ribbon looks like it’ll work, and I believe I found a way to keep the fins from being pulled out too easily, as well as making it possible to re-fin it if/when the cats pull the fins out.

I’ve had ideas for cambrian knits for a looooong time, heh. Bad marriage, getting cussed out by a son for knitting, and chronic pains have made thinking loads of fun, yeesh, but I have made enough to know it’s very much possible.

3 sizes of trilobites (and, unfortunately the only pattern I was able to finish and publish, but I do need to record a video on attaching the heads).

Ammonite (Almost had it finished oh so long ago. Luckily, I do remember the important parts of making it).

Also, I’ve had halucigenia and other Xenusiids in mind, crinoids, tullymonstrum, and opabinia as well. I did have an idea for writing a larger anomalocaris, but it turns out someone was ahead of me, hah.

Unfortunately, it’ll be a miracle if I can ever finish any of them…My deltoid and bicep can hurt immensely with the small movements while knitting.

Are you planning to publish the pattern or is it just a personal satisfaction type of project?

Oh, I’m definitely going to publish it. I want to test out a couple of things (as I’m wanting it to have at least three patterns. A cup cozy, a lidded bag, and a regular bag).

This is the first design I made, and i think it’d be a good one to add for a small simple bag.

Also, with a few modifications it’d make a cool hat, heh. Put a stem and some leaves on it? Oh heck yeah, 😄
