after time adrift, among open stars

I've missed a few weeks, whoops! But we're here, it's still Monday in my time zone, let's get back on track.

In the tradition of "what are you reading/playing/watching Wednesday," I thought it would be fun to try a "make your mark Monday" post. This is where you can talk about anything you're "making" - crafts, art, writing, cooking/baking, sand castles, etc! Feel free to talk about:

• Projects you're working on, stuck on, just finished, excited about
• Materials you want or need or want to get rid of
• Communities you're enjoying, whether online or offline
• Questions you have
• Whatever else fits under "making" for you!

Writing-wise, I have made very little progress. I have a number of ideas, but none of them are really getting onto paper/screen. Which is unfortunate, given that I have an exchange fic due in four days. This kind of procrastination is actually not super usual for me, and I'm a little freaked out, but I'll be okay. And I can get an extension if I need it.

But one of the ideas that did make it a little bit onto paper is told from the perspective of a beloved, lost, childhood stuffed animal, and I'm really enjoying the opportunity to play with that, even if I haven't written much of it. Poking it around in my head is still fun.

Knitting-wise, the socks for my partner remain at one sock. But I finished an adaptive mitten for their dad! Or well, mostly finished, gotta weave in those ends. And I'm about halfway done with the second mitten, so he'll have them before it's too warm to need them (and he's cold always anyways, so good to have them regardless).

What are you making?

I know I say every other year or so "oh I totally want to get back into DW" and then don't do it. But hey, one can never get there without continuing to start again.

Right now I am, as always, trying to get back into writing, and working on a few knitting projects.

For writing: I signed up for the Rare Femslash Exchange, and I'm excited about the matchup I got! So hopefully that'll spark some joy and inspiration. I also want to write something for Dragon Age: The Veilguard and for the Nine Worlds series by Victoria Goddard, which I w recently fallen in love with.

For knitting: I'm chugging away and Hanukkah/Christmas gifts for two cousins that I'm clearly behind on, socks for my partner, and just started some adaptive mittens for my father-in-law. I wish I'd brought the mittens to work with me today, but you win some you lose some.

What are you making?
