Trilobite 1



Largely because I don’t have batteries in my camera right now, but partly because it’s the commercial season -and perhaps even because I feel like doing something extravagant for my first real post- let me introduce you to Trilobites, a fingerless glove pattern concocted out of a steeply discounted skein of Jo Sharp desert garden aran cotton, "latte" color. I'll post it by warmer, to keep things nice and concise.
