Creating in 2015: February and March

March is already over?  No one told me it ever started!  Looking outside, it’s not the weather that could have warned me (I made a typo and wrote “warmed”…)  If last winter was beating records about the snow accumulations, this year we had one of the coldest winters since a few decades.  They showed a map at the news, the whole world is getting warmer because of global warming except for that one little canadian province who likes to be different.  I really love my language, my culture my city and my province, but I would like it even more if it was just a few degrees warmer on winter!

February and March are always prolifics months of knitting. I have many many ideas, I stay home most of the time and I need more knits to keep me warm. Here’s what I did during these months.

Back in the first days of February, I published the Country Song Shawl and I had a very positive response to that one. People like my shawls! It’s so rewarding!

I also finished knitting my cardigan who is still nameless. I like it a lot but the pattern won’t be ready anytime soon. It must be tested first and I think I’ll release it only at the end of the summer.

I made a hat and matching fingerless mittens.  Went through all the testing and reviewing process and I just published it.  The answer is not as positive as for the shawl, I guess one of the explanation is that winter is long gone for mostly everyone except for my neighbours and me.

I made an infinity scarf called Wavy Infinity.  It’s a great scarf made of two beautiful skeins I got through Yarnbox (more on that later).  I’m sloppy with that one too and didn’t had the time yet to finish the pattern.  I just took the pictures yesterday even if I finished knitting almost two weeks ago.

So what’s next in April? I have this shawl made of Julie Asselin Piccolo I talked about last Sunday. I haven’t worked a lot on that one since then but I plan to finish it as soon as possible.

I also casted on a new cardigan made of Lion Brand Amazing.  That yarn is… amazing!  I can’t stop knitting because I want to see the colors that are coming next!

And also, coming soon, a very small pattern of mine will appear in a magazine!  I can’t wait!
