Ok so slipper knitting didn’t go terribly! Jumping into the fray with a pair of “real” socks in some BWM pinkish sock yarn.

Using the pattern Vidia Socks from this book i’ve had for yonks.

I’m the last person in my irl knitting group to tackle socks, so here’s my contribution. A chunky slipper from the Sasquatch Slipper Socks pattern by Michele Bernstein.

Now to get #2 underway before the boredom sets in!

Please welcome Pollo Pascal, named for his inspiration, Pedro Pascal. And *those* purple pants.

The pants in question.

I think starting with the sleeves has been the biggest win against ADHD in knitting for me

They are fast, I usually knit them in the round, a couple times I started a sleeve as kinda a Big Swatch...

AND they are finished fast! Much faster than if I start with body! So it's an extra Dopamine Hit from a Smaller Finish

And especially in top-down raglan, all that is left after is just. A tube!!! And most of the work is done!

...although there still will be the matter of continuing sometimes. Because the body takes a lot of time, and a tube can get boring without the Extra Stimulation (like the yarn being self-striping, or there being more patterning...

Yet still, finishing that big block that is body and THEN remembering that oh right, you aren't done, there are still the SLEEVES... That's the one I dislike, haha
