Well I managed to finish my KAL Mobius Strip Cowl in the allotted time.
The hardest part was Kitchener stitching the tube.
My arthritic hand coped...lol...but my thumb is kind of sore.

An arthritis flare-up in my left hand, especially my thumb, had stopped me knitting for the past 5 weeks.
I started my cowl for Skein Yarn’s Accessories KAL on 1st June. The KAL finishes 31st July.
Last night I knitted a few rows without too much pain. Big question - can I do the remaining 49 rows then Kitchener the ends together by then?
(Yes, I'm using my beloved DPNs, I honestly don't like circular needles...lol).

Wonderment Socks pattern by Debbie Ford

’My son is autistic and life can be a challenge for him, but he finds peace in simple magics. When life becomes stressful, he waves his wand and iridescent bubbles float up through the air. He watches them drift, preparing the wand to breath his frustrations into a hundred more, and I find myself enchanted by this simple magic. I stand beside him and watch them dance over fences, and away, and with them my mind mellows into wonderment and peace with him.’

March finished in the Secret-Stash-Busting sock along, just waiting till I get my new blockers...lol.

No pattern used. I just added a few cables.

Yarn is Wollbiene - Crazy Cotton, these will be bed socks for winter. Never used it before, not sure I like it.

For those people who don't have instagram here are the details.

The Secret Stash-busting Sock-a-Long is starting in January 2025! Organised by 111Windmills.

The idea is to pick sock yarns or sock sets from your stash, wrap them up so each one is a secret and then randomly pick one of your secret yarns each month for a new sock cast on! You can pair them with the patterns of your choice!

The Sock-a-Long will happen on Instagram and on the free Discord channel (link below). The thread is already up and running with people sharing and chatting all things socks!!

You can pick as many yarns as you like from your stash (or shop new yarns)

To get started, pick the sock sets or sock yarn, and wrap each one separately. You can do the same with your knitting patterns if you like!
Each month (or at whatever time frame you think you can manage) pick out your next sock set and pattern and knit through them all while sharing and supporting fellow knitters!

OPTIONS:
- bundle the yarns SEPARATELY from the patterns, and get a mystery pattern/yarn combo
- bundle the yarns TOGETHER with your chosen pattern for that yarn
- wrap the yarns ONLY, and select the pattern at the time of getting your mystery yarn
- any other combo you prefer
