It’s been an odd year for weather. Last week people were sitting in the parks surrounded by daffodils and basking in the warm Spring sunshine. Then this week, fierce storms have blown that wonderful sunshine away with freezing temperatures returning alongside the strong winds and snow.
And not just a dusting of snow… Yesterday, 2‐4 inches of snow were falling every hour until there was over a foot of it. A real return to winter.
Mind you, we shouldn’t be surprised as we had just the same last year. We left Florida in gorgeous sunshine and arrived back in Boston just in time for the start of four snowstorms, one coming right after the next until there were walls of snow on all the roads and driveways.
As one of the commentators on CBS said,
“Call it what you want but suddenly March is becoming the new February.”

He may well be right there. Well, I for one am not going to stop my winter knitting just yet! So I have just finished up another winter scarf and I can see this is going to be needed straight away.
This is the Karlskrona Scarf, a strongly textured man’s scarf with a really interesting reversible stitch pattern from our Reversible Knitting Stitches book. This features a dynamic zig‐zag design on the front and a well‐defined vertical stripe on the reverse.
Both sides show a classic symmetry that is both pleasing to knit and to wear. The stitch is also easily memorised so is a great fire‐side pattern to work. What could be better after a morning spent shovelling snow than to sit in front of the fire, a cup of tea to hand and a new project on your needles. Sounds like a perfect combination to me!
