Starting the year with another finished project! I used the bulk of the remainder of my Marimekko Unikko fabric to make myself a Tessuti Arkie shirt. This is actually the third time I’ve used this pattern, and the last one was so roomy that I decided to go down a size in the body. I left off the pockets, and I moved the break point and top button up about an inch. Looks good, right? I was worried it would be a little too clown-like with the bright colour and large print, but I think it’s fun and suits me.

Sleeve pinning
Peggy Olson knows that the best way to set in a sleeve is to use a LOT of pins. (I know some of you can do it with zero. I’m not there yet.)
Weisswurst Frühstück
Because if you had the opportunity to start the New Year with Weisswurst Frühstück, why wouldn’t you? 🥨🍻
Sobbing at breakfast
I didn’t plan on starting 2025 with a cry, but it seems fitting. What a lovely piece by Jeannette Cooperman about her friend choosing how and when to die. (Via Metafilter.)
