I swear to y'all On The Day It Finally Happens I'm buying Qiviut yarn, just once, just because.

Long-running family tradition: buy my husband a shirt he would never choose for himself, give it to him with joy and a side of mild sadism, watch him roll his eyes, swear he will never wear it, then see him proceed to wear it once a week until it wears out 🤷🏻♀️😏

I needed a tiny 'only the basics' kit to slip in my pocket for when I'm knitting somewhere other than my office-so I wove a 2x6" rectangle, fulled it, glued it in a tin, glued a magnet to the top so I can pop the needle there, added folding scissors & a tiny crochet hook...lunch break well spent! 🧶
