Hi, my dear fans, customers, and curious visitors! 

Today is an important day — my Etsy shop has now been actively running for a whole year. Even though I’ve been an Etsy user for 9 years, I only opened my own boutique and set up patterns and items for purchase a year ago. It has been a year full of learning and inventing: how to take photos when the only available model is myself; how to get the best and most exciting shot, how to find good lighting — all of that had to be remembered and put into practice. Learning at every step. Lots of pattern designing and sketching out ideas from already knitted pieces — a complex and time-consuming year. 

But the interest from buyers and those marking favorites is there, so I must continue. 

So I decided that today truly is a special day, and I’m celebrating it a bit more fully by rewarding myself in the name of new inspiration. 

How does a passionate knitter reward herself? By buying yarn, of course. :) As I was casually picking up ingredients for a cake at the store, I wandered into the yarn section and voilà — there they were: honey-yellow skeins and forest-green ones as well. A dream sweater immediately started forming in my mind. Yes, a sweater is exactly what I will make from them. Soon, very soon! One could spend entire days just knitting and listening to good music… 

I’ll keep creating new patterns and try to surprise you in new ways during my shop’s second active year. Be happy, may you always have enough yarn and patterns, and may you always find your way back to me — I’ll keep inventing. 

Best wishes to all, Külli
