Joji has been busy. She has another new pattern.
When designing this pattern, I tried to hold onto a single idea… but my mind kept wandering. Does this happen to you? You sit down to focus, to be present, only to find yourself running on autopilot, lost in the rhythm of repetition.
This is the pattern for those moments—when focus slips through your fingers, when time feels like a soft blur. Maybe, when you look back, you’ll remember the hours spent knitting this sweater the way I do: like a sepia-toned, silent film, flickering with quiet movement, marking the passage of time.
Sepia Stripes is worked from the top down, seamlessly. The yoke and sleeves are carefully shaped with sets of increases for a timeless, saddle shoulder look.
You can purchase the pattern for Sepia Stripes on Ravelry.
The sweater is knit in fingering weight yarn.
Dad, Beth and the dogs are at the cottage. The drive up was good and they got everything loaded in the boat and across the lake with no problems. The cottage was in good shape when they got there - no winter damage. There are only one small problem. The satellite dish isn’t working. Bell is coming out to fix it on Friday which means they’ll be coming home on Tuesday or Wednesday and then head back on Thursday afternoon. Dad and the dogs will be happy.
I spent the day knitting. I finished a shawl that has been on the needles for some time. I won’t see Alex this week but hopefully next week and I’m hoping she’ll block it for me. My New Year’s Resolution was that I would finish at least one project a month. Then we moved and that resolution fell apart. I’m going to try and get back on track.
This is another Traveler Shawl in Dyed in the Wool Bomboloni.
Then I went back to my first DRK Everyday Cardi. I’m started the ribbing on the bottom. Have I mentioned that I hate ribbing? It takes way too long!!!!
