Circles and Towels mostly

Well, there is still rather a lot of 'spit' in my life, including a stubborn chihuahua I'm dog sitting, the ragged edges of bronchitis, and the fact that I am well and truly unemployed now. On the plus side, the dog comes with a house which I'm also watching, so I've had a bit of space and a chance to work on some projects. Such as a commission from a family friend for circles to use as a part of some Alzheimer's mats she's making. I did some noodling around and have found a knit and a crochet version that I think will be both sturdy enough and survive washing well. I've got two more on the go, but here are the finished ones:

In addition to going through a circle phase, I've also been working on lots of dishtowels. Both fully knit ones,

and toppers for commercial towels.

Some progress has been made on another trade item,

and I finished my DVD Christmas movie socks shortly after going to see Captain Marvel. I got my Nomadic Yarns order, so I'll be getting some new movie socks set up!

And in another type of making, I went with my mom to The Mud Hut and painted a bowl last weekend, which I can't wait to see how it turns out. Here it is right after I finished the lace bit:

So, I'm enjoying the Great British Baking Show and Marie Kondo, thankful that the stupid dog is at least silent as it cowers under the bed all the time I'm in the house, and glad that I can almost function normally as I get my lungs back. I am so ready to be employed and independent again...
