Silver Bell Sweater Progress

I’m having a lot of fun knitting this Silver Bell Sweater (pattern found on Ravelry). It’s an oversized sweater that you would wear with a camisole under with a pair of nice jeans – perfect for the holidays at home. There’s 6″ of positive ease, so it should fit nice and large. I’m knitting it with an alpaca blend, and I know it will require some blocking, but I love the colour and I just love how it’s turning out so far. It is also a neat construction. You knit it from the bottom up, separating after the body to a front left / right panel and the back piece. The shoulders are joined with a 3 needle bind off which I still have to learn. I’m working on the second front piece now, then the back, then the sleeves, neck, and cuffs. I can’t wait to see the finished product!

New Pen – Complete!

I finally finished making bricks and fence bars for the new horse pen / farm field along the side of my deed. I’ve moved all of the animals over, and they seem to enjoy the larger space. I also got a new piebold pinto horse!

This deed on Independence is now basically “complete” – minus two buildings that I haven’t planned out yet. I finished the hanging bridges, I finished the fields and fences, all I really want to build is a church / temple for the priests to stay safe in, and perhaps a shipyard building of sorts. I haven’t planned anything yet, though. I want to build the temple in slate, and that’s proving problematic since my mine currently has zero slate. I was thinking of mining it on the mainland and bringing it all home. We’ll just have to see what I can find.

Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!

Short of a Million

Another 28 days has passed, and while last month I made a profit of 1.9 million gold, this month (28 days) I’ve only reached 900k profit. This comes from a number of reasons including a lot of spending.

I purchased two tokens, and I also purchased the Yak mount that allows you to transmog your gear on the go (120k). This would have pushed me up over the 1 million gold in profit mark, but honestly the main reason is that I haven’t felt motivated to make gold. I have been playing other games, focusing on doing just my dailies for faction, and exploring other characters. I re-post my stock, but I have no Shadowlands stock, and while a lot of fellow goblins are out there making millions each day, I’m content to take a back seat approach. I already have millions of gold that I’m not using, I don’t exactly need more.

Still, a 900k gain is nothing to sneeze at. It’s just not quite as good as I could have done.

Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!
