remember this wrapping paper?
little pieces of it have stayed in my view now, somewhere in my office, for the past two years. i liked it that much when i bought it. i wanted a way to make it more permanent. i thought, there is something about this wrapping paper that aspires.
it aspired to be a piece of knitting, and now it is. blocking on the kitchen table. the difference in lighting circumstances in photographing these two items, months apart, does not do justice to how well the colors are matched. they are as close to identical as i could possibly have hoped. i'm thrilled!
ben stained a wooden footstool months ago, for which this will be the cover. i think this one's going to be puffier and fuller than my dad's footstool. now, for the sewing part. ugh.
