I am more of a process knitter myself, always having at least three different projects going and shifting between them as I feel the need. When I do need a diversion project though, it is usually a shawl of some kind, often a lace pattern, and lace weight yarn, I love those kinds of textures.
Socks, socks, socks. I have been knitting them since I was a young teenager--for any male who would let me including family members and others. They are always my go to for traveling. I and almost 84 and still, thankfully, doing well. Much gratitude
Thank you for your thoughtful emails, I feel nurtured rather than pressured/inspired to buy more product. I find my memory (mitered squares) blanket a most soothing knit, I love watching each square of leftover yarn blend into the next one.
Oh my, I can relate! I’m knitting Hush, also by TCK, holding sock/kid silk together. My swatch really grew, so I’m knitting what looks like a tiny top down sweater. I’m thinking of blocking when I complete the yoke, for reassurance—but my swatch, which I like to rip out, wouldn’t!!!
I am horrible when it comes to frogging something or admitting it’s not going the way I want it to. I actually have a cotton cardigan that is just sitting in a drawer waiting to be frogged, but I just can’t do it.
My comfort knitting is Stjärna--perfect little stars that I stash away throughout the year to adorn holiday gifts or sling around a wine bottle neck as a host gift (though of course, there's been way less of the latter the last few years).
I love that socks always fit. Cast on 64 stitches on a size 1 needle and I am good to go. My body might change shape but my feet don’t.

Hats! With worsted yarn.

For me, it’s cowls cowls cowls. Minimal finishing, easy styling, great to haul around wherever I go.
Socks are my Linus security blanket that go with me everywhere.
I also learned a new thing from my sister and crochet baby blankets . So they are a close second

Good counsel! I wish I loved sock knitting like you do but for me it's hats. Lots of hats.
