Day 3 Fiberuary Challenge 2025: Monday morning
Mondays are like most weekdays in my household! Bed is too comfy don’t wanna leave it, coffee makes it worth it. This was a fun activity in romanticizing my morning, noticing the way the light hits this shelf. Topped off with an ootd on my way out ✌️
On a cream striped bed basking in shadows and warm sunlight, lies a knitting project still on it’s needle. The Sophie shawl is knit from one tip to the other with gradual increases creating a very long triangle, with icons edges and garter stitch. The shawl is looses folded over itself to expose the variation of yarn colours used. Starting with cream, light lavender, mixing in a dark ochre, creating a striped sections along the way. Large dark brown stripe is most visible next to the needles and contrasting the light beige and lavender starting point
