    Time to make some room in the stash! Since I’m finally on reading week I’ve gotten around to photographing(almost) everything ready for destashing. Click on the photo to see what else there is!

    Lightbox attempt #2:

    Clearly I need some big paper or photography sheeting or something – light shows through the cracks! Oh, and photoshop. Still, not too bad.

    I picked up another skein of the organic wool on Tuesday and started striping it in – it really doesn’t appear stripey or anything at all, which is excellent. I’m just about to start the raglan decreases, so this puppy might be done this weekend! I could really have used it the last few days…and next week it’s supposed to be warming up. Eh, whatever.

    I’m scrapping the neckband in the book because it’ll be too high (mock turtlenecks bug me) and I think I’ll just do a tight roll neck instead, just to balance the intense cables everywhere else. I think it’ll work out – we’ll see!

    Attempt #1:

    Boy hat out of double-stranded Nature’s Palette (Spruce) on 3.5 mm needles. Now finished, with cashmere lining (bindoff v.2). Quite a few shadows – need more lamps. And bigger paper or something (it’s a big box I’m using).
