Mid-Way 2022 Check In

Repeating what I did at the end of March/beginning of April, here is a look at Quarter 2 and my year-long goals.

1. Knit a sweater from my 2021 Jacob fleece. ✅ 
2. I still want to learn to do brioche.  I plan to knit Andrea Mowry's Harlow Worsted as a learning project.  In progress - I started and frogged so no FO yet, but I have begun to learn the technique.
3. Socks are still going to be one of those things I always have going. Yeah, in progress because it is never ending.
4. Specifically, this year I would like to keep using my sock yarn stash.  I have some skeins I would like to get knit up, but I would also like to play around with scrappy socks and holding yarn double for thicker (and quicker!) socks.  In progress/not started.  I have been knitting with stashed sock yarn, but I haven't knit any scrappy or yarn-held-double socks.  I did knit mittens with sock yarn stash scraps.
5. At the moment I have 3 sweaters going.  I would like to finish all of them, as well as that Jacob sweater I will be starting soon. ✅ 
6. I would like to make a colorful sweater from handspun as well.  ✅
7. I would like to play with my blending board a lot more.  I would really like to blend up enough for a sweater. ✅ 
8. Work on Corriedale fleece.  In progress.  The wool is processed and spun into singles.  I'm starting plying today.  I also saved the clean combing waste for blending, but that is more of a byproduct and doesn't really count here.
9. With the exception of my mill ends/add ins/sample fiber stash that I have for blending, I would like to spin up my existing fiber.  ✅  I have a new fiber stash now, but everything I have now is from May 2022 or later
10. Knitting the 2021 Selection Box from The Woolly Thistle yarns.  In progress.  I have knit a hat with 4 of the skeins,, I knit a cowl with 2 of the skeins plus one from stash, 3 more to go. 

So some of this didn't change from Q1, but I did check three more things off my list and made progress on and made progress on at least 4 more.  The only thing I haven't done anything with this last quarter is working on the brioche.
