I would love to say that this was a productive week, and it kind of was in some ways, but mostly I'd be lying. My Returning Shawl is still on time out. I just don't want to face tinking back right now.
I did pull out the Purl & Loop swatch loom and worked a few passes on that (after taking out a couple because my tension from before was a bit wonky).
The only other thing I really worked on this week was the Prototype Something Something Raindrops cowl. I'm finally at the "pattern" portion, which I suppose is a good thing, as long as I'm able to not lose my spot in my own pattern. We'll see.

In other fibery endeavors, I cleaned up my crafting corner a bit and went through some crafting accouterments. I actually got rid of quite a few things, reorganized some things, and found new homes for others, which is delightful. I also discovered a bunch of stitch markers...I mean, I knew I had them but hadn't seen them in quite awhile. I also wound some yarn for upcoming projects, specifically the Baby Yoda for Babies sweater. I'm going to have to start that soon if I plan to have it finished by the time the baby arrives this summer.
Not much happened this week, to be honest. I think the only "out of the ordinary" thing that happened was the Not Auction. I've been calling it that even though, really, it was the auction. They called it the Leap Into Spring event, as the spring fundraiser for Little Man's school. There was a live auction portion, a wine pull, Count Me In Parties, and a raffle. That was it. Oh, and food and drinks, of course. It was a much lower-key event than it has been in years' past. The best part is that I had NOTHING to do with it. I could just go and enjoy, for once. And I even was allowed to leave early because I didn't have to do anything! It was delightful, just for that alone.
Other than that, I've just been going along, trying to do my thing, cleaning here and there, and that's about it.
Stormageddon did try his hand at the hula hoop last week.
I would love to say that it went well. But it did not go well. He tried but he just didn't quite understand the mechanics. He spent some time watching others do it and he seems to understand the how part but he can't make his body cooperate. Oh well. Someday he'll get it.
That's about it from "northern" California. I hope you've had a lovely week and weekend and start to March and so forth :)

I used to be good at hula hooping. Dunno what happened.
