On the bright side, it looks a good bit more focused than usual too! I did my usual SALs, but I put a good chunk of time into the Mermaid, and then Lady Justice and my Halloween project saw some focus too. Geostar is a cool new project I'll tell you about soon (I'm preparing a seperate post for it, that's how cool it is!), and the Pumpkin Hat...well, that was a bit of a desaster. It's my newest baby gift, I planned to start it waaay back in August, but after casting on the first couple stitches I got stuck waiting on intel for the babies head circumference...I finally just guessed (on the larger side, figuring she'll grow into it eventually), and got started. The pattern calls for pretty short circular needles, and I thought I wasn't likely to use those a lot, so I got a cheap set from amazon...too cheap, apparently, because not only were they a hassle to work with, but last Sunday the rope actually broke...so I'm going to have to get some new needles and save a couple stitches! Here's the current state (don't worry, so orange isn't quite as toxic as it looks in this photo, but it's late and I don't have natural light):

I look forward to seeing Geostar. Eighty-one and a half hours is still a good total.
Despite your concerns, it's still a fantastic pie with a good amount of progress of a number of projects. We all go through blips, maybe this is yours. Fingers crossed things will return to normal October onwards. :)
Leonore: What a stunning color, I am looking forward to seeing the finished product.

You did well with Mermaid this month.
The knitting is a great 1970s colour in that photo!
Fingers crossed you are able to save the stitches! Bigger is always better for babies - they seem to grow so quickly. I hope this month is better for you in all ways x
