Learning Log, Dec 2025

December flew by in the blink of an eye. Baby S “celebrated” her first Christmas. We devoured latkes with friends and played Scattergories with family over FaceTime. I hosted a readathon for the second year running. I turned a number of years old that makes me bemoan the passage of time…followed by gratitude that I am still here to pass that time and fill it with memories.

🧶 Crafting

A baby-sized quilt top lying on cotton batting and then a hardwood floor. The foreground includes 2 pixelated plants in a saturated dark orange, and the background is a very light teal blue. The bottom of the quilt shows a checkerboard pattern in the two colors. The quilting traces the outline of the plants, with a gridded quilting pattern for the checkerboard

I’m pretty far along on my first real quilt, the Granny Core Quilt in the Baby size. I was hoping to finish it before the end of the year, but decided instead not to rush the binding. I just finished the actual quilting of the fabric sandwich the other day.

I also cast on some pretty Spincycle yarn for My Baker’s Hat, but started feeling wrist pain while working on the brim. I learned Mommy Wrist is A Thing and it’s suuuuper annoying during peak knitting season.

Had some big feelings panning around the AIDS Memorial Quilt 💜
