As the sun steams in through my study window warming the room and bathing everything in autumnal colours, a cup of tea in my hand and new wool to play with, I can finally start relaxing. I have made some lists - some daydreaming lists, some food lists, and some project lists, and some things to do around the house lists.
Two main things now crossed off my lists today:
[1] - I have now made the shadow[]box pattern available on Ravelry as a free download. It's an easy pattern, and quite open to exploration of different forms if you so choose. I hope you have as much fun with it as I have had.
[2] - I have also now updated the Etsy store with some capes left over from the markets. I have a couple more things to add, but might need to take some extra photos for them.
And new wool arrived - shibuiknits in sand as well as a few other colours new and restocked. Now I can sit and plan and swatch. And the tape it's sitting on....the most beautiful storybook printed tape by LillaLotta which will have to adorn something beautiful for Pia very soon. Almost time to go and pick up a child from school, and walk through golden leaf filled streets and have a moment of thought to myself.
AHHH!!! The shadow box! Thanks Al, can't wait to get into that one...now for some wool purchasing.
BTW: Sweet, sweet tape.

I might just be up to knitting up Shadowbox this coming Winter when I'm knackered. And how could I NOT love the tape! ;-) x

Always exciting to make a list. Almost as exciting as tearing into pieces and reading a book or watching a trashy movie instead. :)
The shadow box knit is gorgeous of course. Thanks so much for making it available!

I've just done something rash. I've already gone ahead and ordered the wool. Yarn diet be dammed. This pattern is just too good.
Thank you!
