Box of Light: additional project suggestions

Every year, we hear from customers who love our Box of Light, but just aren't in the mood to make another cowl or are looking for something that demands more focus. 

Because the Box of Light experience is meant to be calming, we include a simple meditative cowl pattern that incorporates each color as you come to it. We want you to slip easily into that restorative "flow" state. 

However, if you want to make something else, you have lots of options for your fingering weight yarn.

You can make several of these. The pattern calls for 100 yards of the main color, so you'll need to choose a MC1 and a MC2.

You received than 700 yards of fingering yarn, plenty to make a variety of knit or crochet options.

That said, the Box of Light is not about the yarn (which is lovely) or the gadgets (which are handy) or the chocolate (which is yummy).

The Box of Light is all about the experience. Savor this knitting or crocheting as your moment of peace. Use this time consciously to bring more light to your world. We encourage you to work a few rounds each day. Pay attention to the texture of the yarn. Take it slow. Let go of your expectations for the finished product.
