It's a finished object roundup! I don't know how I'm going to "finish" finish this one, but let the record show I finally completed the design on this cross stitch bookmark I started in 2023.
I also finished my first SCI Seafarer's Scarf of 2026. Somehow I knit extremely loosely, so I've been using US 2 aluminum needles to make gauge. This time I switched to my size 2 bamboo circular needle on the ribbing, so the gauge completely changes part of the way through. The circular needle is much more portable though, and I don't have to worry about dropping one of the needles all the time. I ended up working too tightly to make the hat though, so I'm going to size up a little before I add a Watch Cap. I used the rest of the Red Heart variegated yarn to start another scarf.

My friend is going to have a baby this spring and I finally remembered I said I was going to make her a baby blanket. I assume babies need a lot of blankets so you can swap them out and always have a fresh one. I'm going to use the "Sandman" colorway of Lion Brand Mandala, a 100% acrylic DK I really liked buying in 2018/2019. I'm excited to use it again! Michael's is giving me trouble, but they have the colorway I want on Lion's website. I'm leaning towards a solid border but I haven't decided.
I'm still intending to make an articulated crochet dragon, but I haven't been to Michael's to buy floral wire and (test) safety eyes. I have scoped out where to buy the GOOD safety eyes when it's time to make the real one.
