Thought I should post a little something to keep a live pulse going. Been working a lot as per usual, but struggling to work fast or focused, which has been frustrating. I'm behind schedule by a lot more than I want to be, and trying to go as long as possible without taking new orders so I can finish what's already on my plate, but it's rough going thanks to the stupid SNAP benefits shenanigans. I started looking into part-time work again, and I've hopefully got something lined up for a 2-3 day a week gig. If I land that, then I can use that as my income and hold off on taking new orders more comfortably, focus on what's already paid for and just catch up for a damn minute!

In more light-hearted, less important news... I've really enjoyed knitting again lately when I'm finished with stuff for the day. I found a pattern for some really simple slippers, and I've been making a bunch in preparation for holiday gifts (plus a pair for myself!) If you're a newbie knitter, this is a good pattern for you!

The steps are simple, and you don't have to worry about what kind of yarn to use, just your basic acrylic blend is fine. That said, if you've a mind for a fancier wool option it'll definitely be all the warmer! I also want to try knitting myself a hat, like a smaller one for wearing indoors during the colder weather, but so far my attempts at hats have been pretty wonky. They never turn out to be the right size, often trending to extremely baggy despite my best efforts. I'll just keep trying until I get one to come out right!
