To start off 2026 I finished the fifth and final project of 2025 for my day job almost exactly at midnight on New Year's Eve.
I crocheted a big beautiful basket out of scrap variegated yarn to hold some thrifted skeins I want to work with in January.
I crocheted a shelf liner basket out of thrifted bulky yarn to hold my blood glucose log and testing supplies.
I completed my first big crochet project for 2026, this throw made from seven skeins of thrifted Mandala Ombre yarn in Serene, which really set the right tone for the year.
Among other things during my annual spring cleaning I got my home office sorted, tidied up and reorganized.
I discovered how many emotional support chickens I can crochet out of bulky and super bulky yarn in one night: three!
I made a big beautiful crocheted basket out of variegated yarn in colors I'd likely never otherwise use plus some white to hold some yarn for Valentine's Day projects.
Finally with one hour to spare I finished the first tote of my calendar project for 2026, which is a tribute to my grandmother, as her birthday was in January. The color palette and design are based on her silver and garnet birthstone ring, which she left to me.
January was such a happy, productive month that I'm excited to see what I can get accomplished in February. :)
