I’m taking a few days to do a little less of this and a little more creating and relaxing, because it turns out that when you don’t do that for a while, life is less fun.
I bought these on the way home from the grocery store, even though I clearly don’t own any vases. The weather here is gorgeous, and making it feel almost like summer. Even though I appear to have entirely missed daffodil season, which is tragically short (daffodils are amazing, I cannot mention this enough), flowers are important.

It’s not much, but it’s a start.
At some point I want to blog about all of the changes I’m making to Owls, because there are a lot, but for now I’m just too excited about omgomgomg MY SWEATER to write up a post like that. The first bit of the hem (garter stitch, instead of ribbed), on top of my crazy-over-the-top pattern notes.
I feel like I should also mention just how much I love this yarn. Because really, it’s effing beautiful. Look at it! It’s grey, but it’s got subtle green tones and subtle violet tones, and it’s so soft I could cheerfully roll around in it like Scrooge McDuck. Definitely an excellent irresponsible-yarn-purchasing decision.

Yeah, I’m one of those weirdos who leaves their Christmas lights up FOREVER. Icicles, on a cold afternoon this week.
