Persephone (probably not its real name): I got to the part of my library reading list that had a lot of research books for this, which put me in the headspace again. This is the most musically motivated thing I've written, I think. Other people post soundtracks of their writing, but I don't really have that. More, I'll be listening to a song and it will trigger a scene. So a soundtrack would be potentially hundreds of songs long.
Short Stories: Polished two a bit. I think when I get to the end of WWS 2.0, I will put, let's say, 5 stories on OWW as a palate cleanser.

Knitting
- Tee (me). Started the month maybe five inches down the body, but worked a few inches while watching Deadpool 1&2 and several episodes of The Boys. This is more of a summer garment, though it would work well with that button front skirt I just sewed. So no rush.
- Venezia Pullover (Interweave W2006). Last month I had done all three hems (body and both sleeves) and started the first body pattern repeat. I had a major crisis at the end of the first repeat and tried a different colorway (on a sleeve, I did not rip out 25 rows of body) that I liked even less, then realized the problem was with the black/white chart I'd drawn myself, which had three rows black/white reversed. Once I fixed that problem the original colorway was tolerable.
At this point the project became a panic to see if I was going to run out of any colors. Four of them are I think from a line that was never released, so they wouldn't have been available even if I'd started knitting ten years ago when I bought them. Five of them don't seem to be available even though the line still is, or the manufacturer has changed the names of the colors or... something.
The whole thing is attached together now, and I'm at the neck. I had to make some minor modifications to the chart to conserve one color, but it's all good.
Finished that button front skirt. Last month I couldn't buy buttons for it because of Covid lockdown. But I had a dentist appointment in Markham, where lockdown hadn't been applied yet! So I bought buttons.
Oh, and I did the buttonholes by hand, and this is how I learned that Laura Ingalls Wilder is a liar: buttonholes by hand are not that awful to do. Kind of fun, actually.
