August Color

Daily Color: “[I]t was the color of someone buying you an ice cream cone for no reason at all.” –Lemony Snicket

It is undeniably late August. Here, school has started, and my younger son leaves for college in less than a week. The leaves are beginning to look tired, a deep rusty green that soon enough will turn red, orange, gold.

But summer is not quite over yet. There is still time for ice cream cones! And for summer bright colors. I've just added this pattern for my Neon Brights Summer Scarf to the Free Patterns page.

The scarf is knit in five colors of Hempathy yarn from Elsebeth Lavold. It's knit in linen stitch, in the round, using a self-fringing technique detailed here

I hope this brings some color to brighten the waning days of summer!

Pulcinella Redux

Daily Color: “The most colorful thing in the world is black and white, it contains all colors and at the same time excludes all.” –Vkrmn (Vikram Verma)

New temari. I know-- just last week I made a temari inspired by Pulcinella, but that sly trickster dressed in white, black, and red just won't leave me alone!
