I finished a sweater!

There's a poll at the end

Hi gang,

I love my Sous Sous so, so much! I’d wear it everyday but my co-workers would probably start making snide cracks about my hygiene.

Gigi is not impressed

Many of you probably know that I am usually a Debbie Bliss girl—her “British hunt weekend at the country house” aesthetic is my cup of tea—but I am so attached to my Sous Sous that I’m trying another Norah Gaughan design next, Larus.

But what of poor abandoned Azumi, you ask? For some reason, I find the lace pattern non-intuitive and impossible to memorize. The only way I’m going to finish is if I ditch the lace on the sleeve cuffs and hood, which is what I decided to do this morning. So, you know, maybe I’ll finish it someday.

Another thing that’s finished is my kitchen!!

The rug isn’t staying. It’s a placeholder, to see how I feel about the concept of a rug. Here’s the Ruggable I’m thinking about:

It’ll either really tie the room together or it’ll be too much. Which do you think? I’m leaning toward “really tie the room together.” All opinions appreciated!
