Not days in the year. Stitches on the needle where Crocus Pocus resides. An estimated 32 yds left of my Smooshy Lipstick Lava. Pattern calls for 437 yds of yarn, Smooshy has 450. I can't believe I will get 5 more rows out of the yarn. Lisa had no

That's what I feel like. But I have been knitting, Crocus Pocus is about 10 rows from the end of Chart 3. But each row is bigger and takes longer than the last. I guess there's no hurry, This is the June entry for the Summer Knitting Goals. N
