In Which I Had To Take A Break lol

So I did still work on the next part of the Mystery Project, but I paused on the Marvelous Marge because I had some birthday gifts to work on!

Holy Mackerel I made socks!!!

My oldest siblings' birthday is close to Halloween so I like to make fun fall stuff for them, but I've never had the guts to actually try a sock pattern before. I made these Candy Corn Slipper Socks based off of a pattern by Briana K Designs. They're 100% Red Heart Super Saver yarn in bright orange, yellow, and white (not sure of the color names, just that they're absolutely RHSS), and I used an H hook because my stitches are tight and if I didn't size up, they wouldn't stretch around a human foot.

Pieces of the second pair - the wonky lookin orange things are reverse-engineered heels!

We'll see if my detached heels work at all. If not, I'll have to frog those heels and hope I have enough combined bright orange yarn from the scraps I have left to make two heels. Otherwise they'll be a completely mismatched tone, which I'd really like to avoid.

But perhaps you're just here for the next set of rounds on the Mystery Project? Well, here you go:

The next block will see us reduce one more time and then we should be done with this section and ready to move to PART 2!!! I'm looking forward to part 2 because it's a very different shape (if I can get it to work) and it connects to PART 3, where we change to a different color!!!

We're getting there, people!

Anyway, my parents are being blasted by a bad cold (the first any of us have had since June 2019, I'm pretty sure!) and I have been getting obliterated by my allergies. See, that Red Heart yarn has been in my room for a loooooong time, and it got pretty dusty, so me using it close to my face meant I was basically breathing dust and tiny acrylic fibers for 18 hours and I hadn't used any allergy meds so everything got clogged. Tear ducts, sinuses, ears, all of it was burning and itchy and thick-feeling the whole time, which means that now I have to deal with the after-reaction, which is basically just me sneezing like Mt Vesuvius for a day or two lol.

That'll about do it for me today - keep up on my Fiber Mondays for the next rounds on the Mystery Project!!!

And Go Enjoy Something!
