Evolving Yoke

 Still over 400 stitches, but the yoke is at the point when some serious decreasing will happen.  

Fair Isle Focus

 I go through phases of different knitting genres.  I always return to fair isle knitting eventually, and that is where I find myself now.  It's a lovely place, where the stitches are small and numerous, and the color changes are gradual and, well, numerous.  

Waves and Rocks

The beginning of the yoke of Strom Cardigan.
Yes, that is a flower on my thumb!

Waves and Rocks was a relatively quick knit, although it required some fulling to reach an appropriate size.  Fulling or felting is always a risky endeavor, but this time it worked out perfectly.  It's a very warm hat now.  Just in time for spring!

Strom Cardigan is a long-term commitment.  It currently has over 400 stitches, with arms, front, and back on the needles.  In another few rows I will be decreasing some stitches, and then the main star/tree pattern begins, with regular decreases every other row.  I look forward to moving the work around the needles with a little more ease.  I really look forward to finishing the sweater, as it is one of the primary reasons that I purchased the 2020 Shetand Wool Week Annual.
