03/15/2020“Knitting the Sky during the Year of Coronavirus”
The image is of a scarf I’m knitting, where each morning I knit two rows for one year using yarn that matches the color of the sky. The project came from a book called “Knit the Sky, “ by Lea Redmond. At the time I started, March 16, no one knew that the Covid19 pandemic would cloister us away from everyone for what looks like could be a long time— by the time I finish, I’ll have something that marks the year— and gives structure to the start of each day. I’ve added clear beads and grey yarn to mark days it rained—and white yarn with “bobble stitches” when it snows! The grey and blue and white strands capture the days of the pandemic. *Date entry: "3/16/2020-03/15/2020"
