I'm so tempted to start more projects again

like Tunisian crochet raglan sweater is on my mind almost constantly these days

but also please brain, give me a moment, I already started the second Sudden Project while I should be knitting the shrug a.k.a. The Sleeves

it's just halfway done!!

and it will take a while because 2.5mm needles really mean an unholy fucking amount of stitches and rows

...I might need to knit a different, faster shrug, with yarn that doesn't bring cruel and unusual punishment upon me. especially not right after I'll be done with 7mm needles kind of project. the last time I had a go at it after finishing SOCKS, which was close enough. now I'll be barely able to HOLD needles that thin

#shut up kevin #craftsy talks #knitting #my arms freeze so damn easily out of the entire body but GUESS WHICH PART OF COATS IS USUALLY MUCH LESS INSULATED #that's right! the fucking SLEEVES #so yeah it's +5C out and I walk around with my jacket unzipped because it's a rare one that has about even insulation on sleeves and body #but also it's not a warm enough jacket to wear in WINTER winter (below freezing)#and winter coats are a SCAM in terms of sleeve insulation #so I gotta knit basically Separate Sleeves for that reason
