2026 is off to a slippery start here in Maine with weeks of ice, including several days of being “iced-in”. As the world froze outside, creativity spurred inside!

You all know me too well to simply assume it’s designs using the same yarn in two (or more) colors. Yes, that will happen, but other designs utilize different yarn weights in different colors.

The Meanwhile in Maine eBook features the Almost Home Sweater and Almost Home Vest. This set of designs cocoons you in gorgeous cables and broken seed stitch. The single colored sweater features long sleeves and a long arc along the hem. The multi-colored vest is sleeveless (of course) and features a shallow arc along the hem.
