It's always a strangely bittersweet mix of emotions coming to the end of a project. As I go ticking off the things on my Preparing for Autumn list I compiled back in July, I find myself feeling satisfied and efficient (and warm!) but also slightly sad to have to put it behind me, having enjoyed the process so much.
But really it's ok - I get to enjoy the fruits of my labour and you can be sure I have an ample supply of to-do lists in the waiting. And that is why I can't stop crafting: my life is creative and productive, never boring, always learning and improving, a world of infinite possibilities...
My Big Herringbone Cowl, finished just in time as the temperature dropped. I am completely in love with this stitch - so elegant and subtly interesting, unlike most knits I've seen, without an obvious knit or purl in sight. To see the journey I've taken in the making of this snood - which began life as an old Maxmara cardi - see here.
