Sky Scarf

Have you every heard of Conceptual Knitting? I didn't until last year and when January 1st came I was ready.  I assembled a collection of different blues, grays, and white yarns which represented the colors of the sky and began my Sky Scarf.  What's that?   It's a scarf that documents the weather.  I cast on 40 stitches and each day I knit a row in a color that matches the sky.  Some people look at the sky at the same time every day, but that doesn't work for me.  Whenever it is that I remember to look is the color I pick.  Some days it's been foggy in the mornings and clear blue in the afternoons.  Other days it's been cloudy and then raining.  There's a fair amount of gray but also a lot of blue which reminds me that Oregon's weather isn't always cloudy and rainy.  It's a fun project.
