merino magic: sweet eleanor comes alive.

Recently I finished up a couple of new pieces, one of which is already listed here in my Etsy shop: lacy, lightweight merino shawlettes. They're perfect for all seasons: light enough to wear as a pulled-together accessory in summer, warm enough to knock off the chill in winter.

I'm also still working on the couch: we've had slight technical difficulties in that it's surprisingly humid in the Bay Area right now--which doesn't make for good leather-working weather, especially when you need something to dry. No worries, though: it'll get finished eventually. In the meantime, I've taken to working on other projects that desperately needed finishing, like going through all of my yarn in preparation for a massive destashing. Keep your eyes peeled for that!
