You Don't Know Jack

 

Or maybe you do. If you've been around here long enough you've seen me trot him out every October. I could have finished him last year tbh but I wanted a reason to get him out again. I don't think I can get away with it this year. He needs to be done. 


Also in the spirit of the spooky season is a new stitching project. I got out my Halloween grime catcher and my ouija planchette needle minder then pulled out this little Halloween chart that one of you sent me a while ago. It will make its official debut on Tuesday. 




I've also done something really stupid. I paid to join this KAL that starts today. 




Every morning I do my back exercises on my big ball while watching YouTube videos on the TV and I got totally sucked into this year's mystery shawl KAL. When he (Stephen West) started pulling out all the recommended colorways I remembered I had all of this sitting on a shelf. I'm past the point where I need to collect yarn. I need to use it so I'm giving it my best shot. Will I keep up? Nope. Will I finish? Maybe. What I do know for sure is that it will take me more than the allotted month to finish. A shawl in a month? That's crazy talk.
