I really don’t know what to say this morning. I’m heartbroken.
So here’s some knitting.
Knitting: Bee Cozy by Melissa Kelenske. I bought this kit for a hot water bottle cover over a year ago from Wool & Honey and cast on a few days ago. I stress-knitted the majority of it last night until I couldn’t stay awake anymore. Hopefully I’ll finish today, and then I can spend the rest of this week (the next four years?) curled up around a hot water bottle. The yarn is Quince Osprey in Carrie’s Yellow.
Reading: Making, Vol. 2: Fauna. This arrived in the mail this week and is just as gorgeous as the first issue.
Head over to the original Yarnalong post to see what others are knitting and reading this week.

Gorgeous honeycomb cozy! I was stress-knitting a beanie last night as well. Thanks for sharing this – a reminder that beautiful things will still exist. 🙂

Can’t think of a more appropriate knit for these days. I’m stunned and depressed.

I’ve made this pattern…I gave it to my niece, along with a hot water bottle, to ease any aches and pains after childbirth. I’m absolutely devastated 😦

I’m completely gutted, but this is absolutely the time to knit marvelous things, like this lovely hot water bottle cozy. If only to remind ourselves that there is still a lot of awesome out there.

I am knitting this now for a Christmas gift. I hope everyone who did this four years ago is feeling a LOT better now and got good use of it for the past four years.
