Fiber Arts Friday: New Normal, part 7

I have finished knitting my New Normal Scarf... This installment adds 25 years and covers 1994 to 2018.

The last colors were retired as follows:
  • Cloud in 1996
  • Creme Brulee in 2000
  • Conch in 2008
  • Papaya in 2012
  • Victorian in 2013
  • Firecracker in 2014
  • Garnet in 2017
  • Hollyberry in 2018
The major milestone hit is that Amazon Prime began in 2005.


It's quite interesting to see temperature data depicted this way... and you can see the rate of change is increasing.  The completed scarf covers 1880 - 2019.  140 years of the global average annual temperature is represented.


The near-white colors are the closest to the baseline average, calculated over 1950-1980.  The blues are cooler than the baseline and the reds are warmer than the baseline.

I bound off the scarf using the Icelandic Technique.  I like this edge and think it goes well with the long-tail cast on edge.


Next up is to weave in the ends and block.

Happy Fiber Arts Friday!
