middle beach scarf

I'm excited today to release my newest pattern, the Middle Beach scarf.  Knit with 2 skeins of madelinetosh dk, it's a simple combination of knit and purl stitches that creates a reversible fabric.

Two sets of buttons increase the ways in which you can wear the scarf.  Use one set to wear the scarf as a cowl.

Wear the other set to wear it as a wrap around your shoulders.

From now until March 31, 2013, purchase the Middle Beach scarf pattern and receive any other one pattern in my Ravelry shop for 50% off.  The discount will automatically apply.

a temporary thaw

We had two days of respite from what has been a very cold winter so far.  The first day of the thaw was foggy and a little bit eerie.  I caught these water droplets on a few straggling honeysuckle leaves and the  yarn I used to support the plant.

And like that, the thaw is over, and the ice is back.  But I am dreaming of spring and longer days.  And I'm knitting for spring with a yarn called Frost.  It's exactly the color of the water droplets.  Fresh and promising.
