(Odd-numbered years see me spiral down in an undertow of imposter syndrome and creative paralysis, but that’s a story for another day.) During the past few weeks, I have been utterly obsessed with this current work in progress. I am using a Scheepjes Metropolis Colour Pack (affiliate link) to make a half-hexie braided blanket that I’ve named “Joy Garden.” You can look at the yarny love post to see all the details, and check out a few more projects that you can make with the Metropolis Colour …
