I love the marled color combination on your hat! I’ve made 2 Melt the ICE hats so far. And I love how the color is pooling on your scarf. I’m impressed you’re making it with fingering weight yarn! That definitely takes patience, no matter how big it ends up.
I have to do socks and sleeves two at a time, otherwise I really struggle to make the 2nd one. It’s so much easier to tell myself I’ll finish it later, cast on a new project, and 2 years later I still haven’t finished it. But it definitely gets complicated with colorwork, juggling all the strands and keeping them untangled. I used to keep each ball in a plastic bag, but I just discovered yarn cozies and they work so much better for keeping the yarn tidy.
