Here’s as much of the sky scarf as I’ve completed in March – I know I won’t be doing any more blog posts before 3/31. It’s a little more blue this month, at least. In other projects, I’ve cast on Susan Lazenby’s Arianrhod shawl. This is for my sister, who’s getting […]

Here’s the sky scarf for January and February. There’s a slightly depressing amount of white and gray, but what can I do – I’m only reporting the sky…
