update
i’ve been trying to go on walks more. it was working really well at the beginning of the year, but i fell off a bit. i even went on a couple of walks independently! i enjoyed watching the birds — the ones that left after winter, the ones that came back for spring, the ones which have the cute little babies
i tried (and sort of failed) to make another pair of socks — the pattern was a little too complex to sustain when knitting was mostly a thing i was doing to stim/self-soothe. so i started a different pair of socks with a simpler pattern and that’s nearly done!
i tried out a bit of needle felting. it was really fun! i like stabbing the needles through the wool. i made a feathers mcgraw
