Spring Make-Along 2020
March is finally upon us. The March equinox signals the beginning of spring after the long winter months. We are soon going to be enjoying earlier sunrises, above zero temperatures and sprouting plants.
We can not wait to put away our winter coats and boots to bring out the summer wardrobe. This transition, however, can be quite challenging. We can smell in the air the arrival of spring, but it is still cold out.
For knitters, the transition to the warmer months also means a change in projects. It’s time to start planning for garments that are light, airy and easy to wear.
While we wait for those beautiful sunny days, let’s Make-Along our summer wardrobe!
The MAL will run from March 20 to May 31. You can cast on after the start date, for instance, if you make more than one project or, you know if you’re busy on the start date!
