two thousand and twenty four in review

2024 year of the dragon

Weirdly, the things that kind of stood out looking through this year's posts was replacing at least half a dozen electronic/homewares items due to the originals breaking. And it's not even like I bought them all at the same time.

Also, I crocheted a number of things this year and failed to document them on the blog (or really on any social media at all).

They include a Hexagon Cardigan, a shrug cardigan, two infinity scarves (one for me, one for Ma), one Granny Stitch scarf, three sets of arm warmers (two of which I gave away/were for somebody else), two dice bags (again, one for me, one for a Christmas present), a wind spinner (likewise for Christmas), a slight failure of a beanie and a snek plushie.

I'll cover this more in the book round-up post, but while I didn't reach the insane heights of last year, visits to the library were still super important this year. I did split my time a little more between books and DVDs though. 

Which meant my movie watching definitely increased. There might also be a post for that too.

Once again, not the most exciting of years.

January: Bought a new printer that was considerably cheaper than ink for my old printer. Started the Hexagon Cardigan Project the same week.

February: A rental inspection didn't happen because my agent was confused by the concept of keys. Then later it did. The HCP ran into a ribbing based speedbump.

March: My 50th Birthday happened. My red chairs became beige chairs.

April: Crocheted a scarf (in the same yarn) to avoid finishing the HCP.

May: Finally finished the HCP. Started an infinity scarf, screwed it up, frogged it and then got it right. Fully committed to borrowing DVDs from the library. Our Friday Night DnD party was intensely stupid. And Thursday Night DnD came to The End.

June: A rental inspection, Ma's birthday and my vacuum cleaner dying all in the same week.

July: Very cold. Crocheted the first set of arm warmers. Replaced my dying PS4.

August: Played a lot of Horizon Forbidden West. Finished it. Got a replacement TV thanks to Fluffy.

September: Replaced my busted vacuum. Rental inspection. Crocheted Ma a scarf in the same style as mine.

October: Our one Cinema Going Experience. Finally started a Teen Wolf rewatch. And started a slightly undefined crochet project, then frogged it and started over.

November: Finished both Teen Wolf and my crochet project, which ended up as a shrug cardigan. Crocheted myself a little snek just because.

December: Friday Night Board Game Christmas. Actual Christmas. Essentially finished the Friday Night DnD campaign bar the wrap-up.
