this sweater is seriously so insane. all knit by hand, self-designed pattern, and she sells it for $700. it makes me feel a) like a bad knitter and b) lazy!

the minimalist cardigan is how i’m going to start the new year.
if all goes well, it’ll look a bit more like this.
there’s something about knitting that falls for me between zen and addiction. while i’m doing it, i feel soothed, but once i put it down (or worse, once i finish a project), i can’t think about anything else but the next time i’ll have the needles back in my hands. i’m hoping to have it done by february, just in time for 3 more months of icy cold berlin winter.
