Wire mailbox

This is a shabby style mailbox to hang by the door, where anything that arrived by post or anything that needs to be taken to the post office can be temporarily stored. Sort of a 2-in-1 incoming-outgoing box.
Made this out of wire in three different gauges using the design-as-you-go working style without a plan. The uneven paint cover makes it look really old and that is the key.

Spring leaves

Here is something to give the nature a small hint of what everybody is expecting to happen soon: a shawlette consisting entirely of green leaves.




This triangular shawl is knitted lengthwise, making increases and decreases at one edge - probably the most knitter-friendly approach. The yarn is a high quality lace weight merino wool by Angeljays.
