Colorful Yarn Basket Near Rainy Window

Soft, diffused light from a late afternoon sky falls through a rain-streaked window pane, illuminating a woven basket brimming with skeins of yarn in electric blue, coral, and mustard yellow. Beside the basket rests a half-finished knitting project in pale gray wool, the stitches still open on wooden needles. Condensation beads along the lower edge of the glass, blurring the gray Utah landscape outside. The texture of the wool fibers catches the muted daylight, against the smooth, wet surface of the window. Small droplets slide slowly down the pane, marking the passage of time against the sheltered warmth of the indoor table.
