I prepared in advance for monthly projects. Small embroidery and cross stitch kits stocked up and also I can usually knit a pair of socks or spin a yarn within the scope of a month. And when all else fails, there’s garter stitch face cloths and dish cloths to be made ^_^ The bigger WIPs (like the dragon cross stitches I’ve been working on for roughly and eternity) will happen in the space in between.
