It’s a slow day at work, so I thought I’d use this time to write a little update!

For those of you who don’t know, I’ll be leaving Japan in August. This country has been my home for the past four years and means so much to me that I don’t really know how to talk about leaving.  However, what I can say is that, in terms of my crafting life, Japan will always occupy a little spot in my heart because it was where I started knitting and it was where this blog came to be. I’m really sad to be losing my little “Knitting in Japan” header, but I’m looking forward to all the stitches I’ll be knitting elsewhere. I’ve got some really cool stuff lined up for the coming year, so stay tuned!

In other news, my recent abundance of free time has also meant that I’ve been able to work on some orginal designs! I just finished the pattern for a silk tank top that I’m working on, and, if all goes according to plan, I’ll be sharing it with you all in the coming weeks. If it ends up being an epic disater, just forget I said anything. 🙂
