It seems our blog is petering out! No one posts. No one comments. So, I will send out this little post and see what happens. It does cost us hundreds of dollars a year to maintain this blog. I know. Surprising!
This is one of my recent FOs. It is my second Comfort Fade Cardigan, designed by Andrea Mowry. My first, more subdued rendition, can be found here. This color choice was actually not my own. I was inspired by a project I saw on Instagram. I ran to BeWoolen to get the same colors of Rios!! When I saw the actual colors, they looked different than the picture, so I substituted a couple of colors. Frank Ochre yellow just didn’t translate in the photos, but I wanted that acidy color in my cardi. I really like the results.
Another recent FO is my Melt the Ice Bandana turned Cowl. It was designed to be a summery alternative to the oh-so popular Melt the Ice Hat, with proceeds also going back into the community.
I converted the bandana into a cowl by working in the round after I got to a certain point. I am now knitting a regular bandana in a wool/cotton blend that will tie in the back.
I am still protesting. Still angry about what is happening to our country, but damn. It is absolutely exhausting. Every day they do something worse than the day before. It is impossible to keep up, and that is what they are counting on! So, I try to remain optimistic that we can weather this storm.
