April check in 💮

 I got sick in March and the plan fell by the wayside a little - I'm not going to feel guilty about that since I need rest time too...

But I have been more consistently drawing since getting better!

Pottery has been less consistent due to being unwell (I don't want to make other pottery folk sick) and plans changing/childcare needs increasing... but that's ok, I'll get back to it when I can. I do have a few things that have probably gone into the kiln for a glaze firing, so I look forward to seeing what they look like when I next get to the studio.

Knitting wise, I finished a big handspun jumper project - from sheep fleece to yarn to jumper - and I didn't like how it looked on me! I was very sad. And then I gave it to my mum for her birthday and she seemed happy with it...

I liked the yarn I made but hated the fit of the jumper (too big) - I had already tried about 3 times to make different projects with the yarn and had had enough of it.

I have a cardigan WIP and a jumper WIP, for my dad and C respectively, and they're not particularly exciting to me, but the cardigan is at least using stash yarn and I'm trying to work on using what I have so that's good. After these 2 projects I do have one more gift knit I want to do, another jumper for C - but in a fatter yarn, so hopefully it'll be a little speedier to complete. And then I want to make clothes for myself again!

I would knit for O but she doesn't like to wear jumpers anyway.

Today is a Monday, so I have a couple hours to get some things done if I want. I'm keeping it low pressure though because there was a lot on during the weekend.
