Moments, so fleeting, slip away and dissipate as quickly as the steam that rose from the morning’s mug of tea. Melting snow is quickly softening under the skin-warming rays of apricity--so welcome in this month. As the winterworn hemisphere tips her icy crown towards the sun, all signs of artic cold are chased back to their heimal storehouses. Chickadees dart and whizz through the pine boughs as the warm zephyr breeze brings hints of spring.

Sweater is worked from the top down, flat to start and then joined in the round at front when neckline shaping is completed. Remainder of the sweater is worked in the round. Please slip all markers as you come to them throughout the pattern.
