Summer is here and I have been outdoors in nature. Over time, my appreciation has grown for the colours of Pacific coastal forest green and woody brown. With spring rain this year, cloudy skies blurred with local waters and bluish-grey mountains loomed in the background.

A change of pace led me to take a break from hats and turn to scarves. Though it takes time, the making of a long scarf matches the long lazy days of summer. Getting started merely involves deciding on a pattern and choosing an appropriate yarn and colour. I can be challenged by determining the number of stitches per pattern repeat or incorporating a twist or two in a cowl or infinity scarf.
