Last year, my 100 Days project was a roaring success. I’m not sure if it was the lockdown boredom, or the low stakes goal of each day, but it worked. When contemplating this year’s options, I kicked around a few ideas, but kept coming back to the idea of another blanket, a rework of my sunrise stripe sampler. I decided […]
