My first proper Bullet Journal arrived and spent some of the evening setting it and transferring my mental inventory and work todos.

look at those adorable pens! they're so cute. take a bit to dry, though, which is a bit annoying. still, they're erasable.

last night I finished the second d section of skirt for my Elf Coat. to my delight, its the same length as the first piece I made last year (although still several in chest shorter than it should).

Got some more of my Elf Coat done tonight. up.to the second increase on the straight section of the skirt.

My monthly book stats from Bookly. Not a bad month, 2 books finished.

I remember when I would struggle to read a book in 2 months!

My new yarn arrived for my test pattern, this time in the correct yarn weight. So now I can try the tension square (again!) and see what size book I need.

And I just happen to have the correct t-shirt for it 😂

I did some of my Elf Coat tonight. Despite a few issues (I missed one increase row and wondered how I was behind 2 stitches), I managed to fix them and add 17 rows and increase by 12 stitches.

It's now late and I still haven't read my pages for today, so I'm off to bed.

Current progress on the Elf Coat by Morale Fiber. This is the pointed pleat of the "skirt"/bottom section.

My other project is on hold, as I couldn't get the tension or the stitch correct, and I needed a win to feel better about myself. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yarn is Devonia DK by John Arbon Textiles in shade of Dark Skies.

Going to have my first ever Haggis (albeit Veggie Haggis) and a sniffer of Whisky for Burns Night.

Quick pic of my Hawl from the Waltham Abbey Warn Show. I had my eye on this book for a while, and got to meet the author and fell in love with this yarn from The Urban Purl because of the colours and the name "Witching Hour". I was good and didn't go too mad, I wanted to buy lots of spinning stuff, but decided maybe some lessons first would be better.
