Persephone (probably not its real name)
Became suddenly unstuck around labor day not because I read a pandemic story or anything (though I did that) but because I was thinking about mobsters and psychopomps of all things.Short Story
The one that I worked so hard on last month, I set it aside for maybe 10 days to rethink its life, and since it wasn't quite working anyway I chose a different market with a different theme and a slightly longer target length. Then I smashed it until it met the story criteria for that market, and now it was 1750 words over length for that market too! So I took out 840 words then tried to make its character have growth. Now I think as a story it works.
Added last month's short to that list of things worth finishing.

Knitting
Aberdeen Argyll (Martin Storey). Done. I bought ribbon to put in the hem, but I didn't need it. Finished.
Masquerade (Louisa Harding). All the pieces except the back were at the start of the big block of colorwork above the ribbing when I started the month. I had done the big 13 rows of the back, two rows of everything else. I think this was a good strategy in terms of making sure everything had the same color changes throughout. All the pieces are done. I just have to do the side and sleeve seams and deal with about 400 loose ends (not exaggerating).
Tee (me). It's a classic with set in sleeves, knit top down out of sock yarn. I'm below the armholes but I think I have to rip out to just below the neckline, so it's in time-out.
I also worked on my sashiko sampler.
