since i got the results yesterday

(of the final design that i’d asked you all the vote for),

i thought it was about time that i fill you in on what went down.

the ‘sun shine sack’ was not one of the top 3 in the watg voting,

so, now i get to decide what i want

to do with the idea

on my own.

but,

i thought

i’d enlist your help.

are any of you crocheters?

if so, does anyone have an interest

in my putting together a real pattern

(right now it’s scribbled notes on a wrinkled lunch bag)

for this net-like tote?

i was in the top 3 for the #hkminicomp.

i was on the top of the voting for round 1, and held a firm 3rd place in round 2.

so, holla knits will not be publishing my ‘status of the stratus’ mini collection,

which (ironically) is probably better in the end

because i had more than 3 pieces

that i wanted to include

and now i can go back, firm up the other ideas, find the loveliest yarns out there

and make this an e-book all on my own.

the goal is to finish it for next fall

and i think i’ll stick to it

because i really want to be able to wear these pieces myself

and a few leaves have already changed,

making it already too late to knit them for this fall.

‘leaves’ taken from 4:12 in daniel.
