Pre-vacation shoe lace waving

I'm getting ready to leave for a longish vacation... All my shopping is done and now we're sorting and waiting and not doing much until we can start packing. Honestly you'd think we'd never been on a vacation before. Of course I had to have new shoelaces for the shoes I'd intended to bring, but since they're not broken in enough, I will take other shoes. I think I need to acknowledge the calming power of making shoelaces during times of stress. Here's the laces!

I have almost finished the vest from Petit Point fabric but I don't like the way the armbands sit on the body... I'm still thinking about solutions. Meanwhile, here's a bad photo of it.

I've been knitting away on Sand and Sunsets but it's gotten too big to be vacation knitting; I'm probably 1/3 done? Meanwhile, I'm looking for a DK cotton knitting project for travel.

The rug on the loom is stalled. Don't ask.

The textile trip that was scheduled for July (not June and I'd thought) has been cancelled.  

On other fronts, I did finish marmalade and limoncello... And have planted tomatoes, basil  and cucumbers in the garden. There are 2 other tomato plants that I bought before I decided to rehome one of the many volunteers... they need spots this week.

Q1'22 finished things (4)

Did I honestly not publish this at the end of March??? Shame on me...

This is what I finished in Q1'22...

• 5 yd warp from overshot departures class, including a bunch of samples, 3 1/4 yds of petit point and some plain weave samples using paper yarn as weft.
• 2 card woven mask lanyards
• An icelandic wool shawl

I also started a rug, started spinning a painted roving for a sweater, spun and plied more paper yarn, started a summer sweater, and have partially sewed together a vest from the 3 yds of petit point weaving from above. I also tried fitting a shirt for Scott and have stalled on it...

I'll hope to be spending nearly the entire month of May travelling so Q2 may not be that productive either... we'll see...

Here's the list from December; the green stuff is new. Wondering why the list didn't include the icelandic shawl? In green are things that are in process or new. In orange are things I want to finish or get substantially done in Q2.
