So I&#8217;ve decided to ease back into knitting with a 365 knitting project. Yes, I know how ridiculous that sounds, but this is project that should be fairly easy for me to keep up with.<\/p>\n<p>Lea Redmond of Leafcutter Designs developed this conceptual knitting project that allows you to record a year&#8217;s worth of skies in a scarf. Each day I&#8217;ll check the sky and then knit one row across (and one back) that reflects the colors I see. Bright blue strands for bright blue days, light blue for light blue days, white and light grey for their respective cloud colors and dark grey for dark and rainy days. Lea uses two two strands of lace-weight yarn for each day, so a partly cloudy day would be a blue and a white together in one row. At the end of the year I&#8217;ll have knitted a five-foot-long scarf. Knowing Seattle weather, I expect a scarf with a lot of grey at the ends and blue in the middle, but the weather may surprise me.<\/p>\n<p>I picked up most of my yarn for the project at my local yarn store, <a href=\"https:\/\/seattleyarn.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Seattle Yarn<\/a>, but I had to order the dark grey online. While I wait for it to arrive I&#8217;m tracking my sky colors. I&#8217;ll post pics once I have a bit of it knit.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the sky scarf and a copy of the pattern, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leafcutterdesigns.com\/projects\/conceptknit.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Leafcutter Designs<\/a>.
