Oops. This shawlette was supposed to be on US3 needles, not US0. Oh well. I like the fabric as it is. Luckily the pattern can be repeated as needed to use up yarn. 🧶

One of my students drew a deer from Nara and I am in love with how ugly it is. I've named him Gilbert.

Finally cool enough to wear my Gr8 Gingham Raglan to work! Probably could’ve done one more repeat on the sleeves but they’ll work at this length with my fingerless cat mitts.

Almost done with the Flax sweater I was commissioned to do for an acquaintance. It is HUGE and makes me want to knit a sweater dress for myself.

Took a tour of the Sakurao Distillery in Hatsukaichi City on Friday. It was an informative tour and we got a free tasting afterwards! I already have the original gin at home, but tried their limited, hamago, and white flowers varieties, as well as their Miyanoshika whiskey! Yum!
