May Gaming Goals – 2021

Gaming has taken a bit of a back seat this month as I delved into Animal Crossing, but that’s OK.

Incomplete:

  • Did not finish four floors at Quail Plaza. DID do a lot of pillaging to make this goal easier, though. Now I just need to find the time.
  • Did not complete any older games in my steam library. Did play a lot of new-ish-to-me games though!
  • Did not continue the next chapter in Divinity.

Complete:

  • Reach 80 in another class in FFXIV – I got to 80 in botanist, and I am 76 in Bard which is pretty dang close to 80.

May Goals:

  • Continue Divinity Original Sin II with the husband
  • Reach 80 Bard in FFXIV
  • Reach 80 in a craft profession in FFXIV
  • Re-establish what I was doing in GW2 and see if it’s possible to fit that into my schedule
  • Build 4th floor at Quail Plaza
  • Complete 1 room or section in Animal Crossing on my island (complete is used loosely here, I know designs are never truly complete).

Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!

Knitting Goals – May 2021

Completed in April:

  • I finished my sockhead cowl! It’s lovely, even if it wasn’t completed in time for winter this year, I will make good use of it next year.
  • I did two squares on my sock scrap blanket – which is more than I did last month, so I’m counting that as a win
  • Still not done with those TAAT socks, they’re taking me forever. I also didn’t work on my Silver Bells Sweater.

Current WIPS:

  • Scrap blanket
  • For the horde mitten liners
  • TAAT January Sock club socks

May Goals:

  • Complete TAAT socks
  • Two squares on the scrap blanket
  • Pick a new project to work on
  • Some progress on the Silver Bell Sweater IF my chaigoo needles arrive

I ordered a complete set of chaigoo interchangeable needles but then I got a notice that the order was cancelled – it was after the shipping notice went out, so I’m confused on what is going on. I figure I’ll give it a bit of time, then if they don’t arrive, I’ll re-purchase them. I’ve been having a blast keeping up with my daily creative events, every night is a new hobby, and things are progressing along at a wonderful pace. I need a new knitting project, I’m not sure what I’ll work on next. We’ll just have to see!

Sock Scrap Blanket

One of my goals in scheduling my hobbies in the evenings was to try to work on my sock scrap blanket a little bit. I only have one evening a week assigned to knitting because knitting is something I can do throughout the day, the kids are not destroying it or anything like that. During that time I wanted to focus on a few specific projects – one of them is mitered squares for the sock scrap blanket I’ve been working on. I’m hoping to get at least two squares a week completed, even that small amount would be a big step towards getting this blanket rolling. Each section is 3×3 squares, and I’m going to stitch them together. I haven’t decided how I’m going to do that yet, whether it will be with a crochet boarder, or just whip stitch or some other method. I’ll probably have to see what I prefer. Each square is 20×20 stitches, and they knit up pretty fast so long as I can remember which way to pick up stitches from.
