Well, I’m starting to dig myself out somewhat.  The surprise KAL is mostly done – here is the hat and cowl I did for myself…

And the cowl and part of the hat I’m making for my Mom…

I have a little bit of a start on my first big colorwork sweater, but not enough to bother with a picture yet.

The afghans are going to have to wait a bit.  When I finish the sweater, I’ll reward myself with catching up on the Geek A Long afghan squares.  I think the National Parks squares are just going to have to wait until a later date.  I have the yarn and the patterns.  Maybe that’ll be my first big project of 2018!

So there’s a bit of a light at the end of my self-imposed tunnel.  It remains to be seen if it’s daylight, or an oncoming train 😉
