Happy Canada Day, 2018!

The first 6 months of the year are all rolled up,

And they've been good ones. 

(This is the first six months of my "Year In Temperatures" scarf.) 

More Colourful Days

The days are getting hotter, and my "Year in Temperatures Scarf" is becoming more colourful. 

Closest to the needles are the most recent days. Down at the bottom is where I started on January first. 3 rows per day representing the high temperature with the centre row of each a dot that represents the day's low temperature. Each month is bordered by a garter stitch ridge in black.

Crazy Zauberball

A few months ago, while on a short trip, I bought a ball of Crazy Zauberball yarn as a souvenir of sorts. When I returned home it got set aside while I finished projects intended for the guild's booth at the Chilliwack Christmas Craft Market. The sale is now over and I can turn my attention to the pretty souvenir yarn.

I'm using a clasped weft technique with black wool on one side not only for the contrast effect, but also to extend the expensive Zauberball as far as I can. I hope to get enough yardage to make some sort of creative article of clothing.
