The August Break 21

The August Break 21

A yarn study. I love wool. It just glides over my needles so much more smoothly than acrylic. My husband is out of town and tomorrow is the first day of first grade for my boy. This means he’s in bed already and I will probably be up the next 4 hours knitting. I should sleep, but that sort of logical thing evades me. I’ll be the one whimpering in the morning on our walk to school with a big bag of school supplies and grumpy toddler in tow.

A photo by the sun.
A doily cyanotype.

The contrast in this sun print isn’t as great as I would like it to be, but it still looks pretty neat. I don’t know if the age of the paper has anything to do with it, but this kit is a few years old, I believe. I had a different kit with smaller paper that produced better results.
