Spring is in the air !!

Over here the temperatures during daytime are rising to 14 degrees Celsius ( 57 degrees Fahrenheit). So the weather is fine..

And so is Clapotis, I have finished it even if I haven't knitted much the last couple of days. It is far to lovely outside to stay in. But the evenings are still cold, so then is the perfect time to knit. It has grown to 70 "long ( 175 cm ) and 6"wide ( 15 cm). I could have made it a bit longer because I haven't run out of yarn yet, but I thought this was long enough for me. I'm not that tall, so this is perfect. The color reminds me of Fall though, the colors of pumpkins...






This however, is all like summer to me...



















It reminds me of our holiday last summer in Greece, at Corfu.




That's us in our hired sailing boat....


It makes me want to go back to that wonderful clear blue sea!



























Anyway, this is the Japanese Feather Scarf that I cast on for instead of Palette. I think it looks much better this way. The scarf has wavy sides, also a reminder to the sea, just like the wonderful blue color. I have knit this far with one skein so I have finished about 1/3 of it, it will make a 150 cm I guess, without blocking. So it will no doubt grow even longer after that.

I love the Japanese Feather scarf. A perfect choice. Where did you find that pattern?

I have wanted to take a sailing cruise from Turkey or Greece. Looks wonderful!
