This is the Immie Tee by Carrie Bostick Hoge, using Quince and Co Tern in the Buoy colorway.    I’m making this for the younger niece, since yellow is her favorite color in all the world.     I’m doing the age 4 version, but in the called for needle size (I normally go up a […]

Here are the high and low temperature scarves, up through the last day of Spring. I will probably need to buy more yarn for the 40s and 50s colors.    (Boy are our low temperatures consistent in Spring.)     I’m going to see what happens in the next month or so for the 60s before

Another skein of yarn kicked through hexipuffs (Malabrigo Sock in Playa).    I’m frankly amazed I got three other separate projects out of this skein, and still managed this many puffs.

The pattern is cool – three stranded colorwork was an interesting new challenge. 

Here are the two temperature scarves, as of the last day of winter.    The high scarf has more colors, though I have taken the yarn for the 0-9 and 10-19 ranges away – we’re hopefully past the point of needing those anymore.   I have not yet taken anything out of the low temp scarf

I’ve been very bad about keeping track of what’s been going on this month, mostly because it doesn’t seem like much – it’s all indoor stuff.   The weather is just now sort of starting to signal it might be warming up. So I cast on these mitts nearly a month ago.   The pattern is Darryl
