Thunder and lightening and sheets of rain put me in the mood for some simple knitting with old mystery movies as the backdrop. At present, I’m working on three different projects – a scarf, a baby blanket and this blue garter stitch kerchief:
The yarn is from Crown Mountain Farms Sock Hop, the color “In The Skies.” The kerchief pattern is a wonderfully adaptive and easy one from Laura Chau. The fingering weight yarn is held double and I’m knitting the kerchief on size 6 US / 4.0 mm circular needles. The only change I’m making is the addition of a k2tog, YO row every 7 garter ridges on the wrong side (even) row. It adds a bit of visual light to the garter fabric.
I really like the fact that, even though it’s kind of bleak outdoors, I don’t need much light indoors to work up something this pretty.
Seeing your beautiful nails I feel I should paint mine more often. They really give something extra!
That’s Spring-y; Springish, Spring-like. Blues really aren’t very sprig-y.
Very pretty and very Sprigy.

Beautiful blues all round! I like the addition of the k2tog/Yo rows to the kerchief.
