I have a plan for Lacevember. I will complete one lace repeat on both my Hippy Crunchy sock and Hush Hush each day. That's 20 rows on the sock and 4 on Hush Hush (but boy are those long rows!)
Hush Hush probably has less repeats before I get to the stockinette at which point it becomes TV knitting and will actually maybe get done someday.
And then I shall work on my Elizabeth 1 scarf.
