This the Citadel hat by Beata Jezek, using KnitPicks Capra in the Pesto colorway, and Reywa Fibers Yak in the Festival colorway.   (Yak!   I got it half off!!) Is it weird that winter hats make good summer projects?

Another cool thing about the new camera?    I can take evening shots, and reasonably expect the picture to come out in a usable format. I actually finished this about two weeks ago, but had been hoping to block it before I wrote about it.    That hasn’t happened yet, so since it’s the last

The sky scarf is now officially half done.    (It really is, because I haven’t yet touched it in July.)    It is pretty funny, because you can really see that June was grayer than May. I realized I’m going to have to order more white, and more of the medium blue (which has become
