Summer Projects

Has the beginning of summer made you think of other things to do besides knit or crochet.

It seems that some are seasonal project doers and some of us are die-hard all year around.

In the shop we have changed the display to reflect the sunshine and flowers in bloom. (Thanks YV for your help) In Arizona the sun makes the days warm-- 100 plus is normal for now and the months to come for awhile. Yet there are a few of us who still knit in those temperatures. Socks, hats and scarves are small take along projects. As you can see I have another hat going for my sis' mother-in-law. It seem pink hats are in for my family at this time.
I am also getting ready to start another sock. Do you have a favorite way and pattern to knit socks? Are you one of those who has never knitted socks? Or maybe you are one of those who does not understand the joy of knitting a pair of something.



There have been several inquires as to where is the sock you are knitting, so I will start a basic sock and maybe some of those who asked about socks will join in and learn about sock knitting. They can be knit toe up, cuff down in many styles or patterns, on double points, circular needles, even straight needles, and one or two at a time.
