Here’s my first project of the year, and it’s a year long project: the Sky Scarf, by Lea Redmond.    It’s really more of a method than a true pattern (it was originally a kit, but I’m doing my own).    Basically, I bought a whole bunch of Knitpicks Palette yarn in sky tones (blues, grays and […]

Here’s the final project wrap up for the year.    Not too shabby, and I paired down a fair amount of my stash. I’m not sure yet what next year brings.     I do like having something to do with my hands, but I don’t always have a reason to give away knitwear, so I’m thinking of
