SPRING FEVERISH (ORIGINAL) and SPRING FEVERISH (2024!)

The original Spring Feverish series ran from 2017 to 2019, probably not consistently—I have not looked over each of them to see exactly, but I think there were four and then I added one at random two years later. That seems like a really long time ago at this point, so it’s almost uncomfortable to promote them (I do really like the Miniature Moon one. Was one of the neater things I have made. I also like the garter one and the last one, although that one was abbreviated from a larger shawl and I kinda wish I’d finished writing the bigger version. I knit two of them! They must have been pretty engaging! I took cool photos of the rust-colored one!).

Now that I’m revisiting the idea (a pattern series under the constraints that everything had to be small projects, headband/neckerchiefs or at least kerchief-adjacent, and sort of decent for transitional weather both as projects and finished objects (so even without the kerchief/tiny shawl constraint, mittens wouldn’t work—they won’t be unpleasant to work on if it’s warm, but you can’t wear them right away)) in 2024, I’m wondering if I lost sight of the small-project aspect a little. All of these are much more involved; they’re probably more process-knitter friendly. They’re still one-skein designs, but they’ll take more than an afternoon from start to finish. I think it makes them more versatile, and I hope it won’t make them less appealing.

Anyway, old work! New work soon, but—the older work probably fits a slightly different (quicker) project impulse, while the new ones will be more contemplative.
