been slowly chipping away at these socks and as much as they're cute, they're a bit of a drag to work on 🥲 may have to finish this one sock and start another work to keep my interest in check

the reason I haven't been knitting practically at all after I finished the beanies is because a good friend of mine has introduced me to the world of diamond painting and I have been Obsessed 🥲

I've also seen this making rounds on here and considering that I started knitting during covid, I think it's fitting!

It's a bit hilarious how absolutely beast mode I've gone during these past years 😅
