Knitting the sky
It started out gray, but quickly brightened. Yay, sunny days!
I'm calling in Wisconsin [Modular] Sky... and I hope it works out as envisioned! One row (garter ridge) a day in a color that reflects the day's sky. It's wide open for interpretation and I have no problem buying or dyeing more yarn; I know I need a "white" yet, anyway, though snow has been scarce this year.
I'll know more in a few months... and will have to figure out how to mitre a corner again by then, too.
Because I'm kind of a dope -- and also sort of compulsive about counting and don't always remember things as I should and don't want to be counting increasing numbers of rows each day to determine whether I have or still need to knit a row that day -- I've tucked a little calendar into my work basket and will mark off the days...
All 366 of them.
ooh, this will be fun to watch grow!

I predict at least 10 people will read your post and go digging around for that calendar from the insurance agent to add to their knitting basket. I like the idea of this, but no myself well enough to know it is a side-lines sort of project for me.

MItered corner? What is your overall pattern? I will look forward to watching this grow.

I bought a small calendar with a week at a glace. Everyday I write down the time and the color of the sky. That way if I'll remember even if I can't knit that day!

What a great idea. I cannot wait to see the end product.

I love this idea but i fear I need to stock up on shades of grey these days!
