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.

| 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.
