22: Different ballpark, same Sidewinder Hat.
23: Knitting on the trip home. Checking size of hat against the length of my book, because the instructions said the hat should be about 8" long before the top decreases and my book is about that size.
24: Home! But not quite, stayed at my mother's due to the late hour our flight arrived home. Busy with helping her unpack, sort mail, and of course work was heavy. So not too much more knitting.
25: The Sidewinder Hat is at the point of decreasing. But it's late so I will do that tomorrow.
26: All day conference, took a shawl I began out of a skein of handdyed yarn purchased at last year's Carolina Fiber Fest. It's the Tiny Kerchief pattern but continuing until I run out of yarn. I didn't have the pattern in the bag (ooops!) so had to hunt as I wasn't sure I remembered it correctly. Luckily I finally found it, and it's free, so now downloaded to my phone. A couple people asked what I was doing, and one said it was a "baller move" to bring it - I pointed out it's just a fidget item that helps me focus. After I returned home I finished the Sidewinder Hat, adding a fluffy pompon purchased at Michaels. I debated white or black, hope I chose correctly.
27: I took a garter stitch scarf to a concert at the community center tonight, and got a bit done. The yarn has long passages of spotted, then a bit of solid, so it feels as if you're not making progress then it goes very quickly.
28: I worked on the scarf a bit at a community brunch (helps to prevent unnecessary nibbling), then remembered I need to finish a friend's embroidery - begun by her husband, and my friend doesn't stitch. I did a bit but realized one colour is missing, so I'll have to pick up another skein if possible.
Ending the month by working on the UFO Blanket. And I finished the February puzzle:
