Athabasca Spring
This lightweight spring/summer scarf is named for the Athabasca River, which can be seen clearly from the air as one arrives to the well-known oil town, Fort McMurray, Alberta. I began knitting this scarf just before my journey up to the northern Alberta town and completed it while there visiting my mother. The colours that appear in these sumptuous yarns remind me of hues of green and blue that can be seen from the airplane window high above the town. It is beautifully stunning countryside!
Please note: I have made some changes. I switched my yarn A and B as I mixed them up when listing them under “materials”. Also there is a comment about carrying yarn B while knitting the rows of yarn A
