End of month yarn stats:  44 entries, 70 skeins, 23,356.70 yards.  Looks like someone bought yarn again.  (Look, the buttons were difficult to find and I had to visit a bunch of stores containing yarn and things happen.  Don't judge me.)

Hehe, knitting mojo was down a bit in April.  I'll work on May's knitting and get it a bit more scheduled.  May 2024 mini-achieve goals:

1.  Finish Liesl.  But first, finish Corvin.  For reasons.

2.  Maybe finish the blanket?  For the same reasons?  Or at least make sure to work several inches on it every time I'm at my in-laws' house (because that's where it lives right now).

3.  Keep working on reeds.  I did get my order, but practice is important.

4.  Speaking of practice, make sure I'm practicing several times a week until the concert on the 26th.

Whew, finished the necessary finishing in time (but barely!).  Went yarn shopping with my son and, inevitably, came home with more yarn for projects for him.  He's great at picking out yarns and projects for me.  Maybe a little to great at it . . . .

As for May's goals, finishing Corvin is literally all I accomplished.  I did not practice several times a week - it was an accomplishment if I managed to get one evening in a week!  But the concert was a success.  Next one is at the end of June.  Here are June's mini-achieve goals:

1.  Finish Liesl!  Seriously, there's not a lot left on it.  This is definitely achievable!

2.  Work on reeds.  I made an excuse of not being able to properly sharpen my knife, but I have new stones on the way so that excuse will be out the window.  I wonder what I'll come up with next.

3.  Continue to work on portable projects (socks and hat).  No finishing expected, just work on them.

4.  Practice, practice, practice.  Those pieces for the June concert may look easy, but I was flubbing a lot of the sections last practice.
