Too hot to knit?
Ok, 90 degree weather isn't exactly conducive to knitting, and turn-out was down a bit at our knitting group meeting today, but it was still lots of fun (and they do serve nice cold icy drinks!) I ran into Emy over at The Yarn Hut and bought two more ribbon-yarns to make ladder scarfs with (and wore my new purple one that I finished on the airplane last weekend - pictured here). But it was too hard to work on them while talking to everyone, so after ripping it out three times and starting over, I went back to my other scarf (which sadly looks a bit too much like a dish towel...) We discussed working together on some blankets for Project Linus (each knitting some 9"x9" squares to sew together into blankets for those of us that a whole blanket is a bit much for still) A reporter and photographer from the Merc came to chat with us which was fun as well!
I've decided that my stash is getting a little out of control, because I went digging in my box to find the next ball for the hat I'm doing, and I found several yarns I'd totally forgotten I had. Including a fun purple ribbon, which definitely needs to be a scarf. I'm thinking that the eyelash has to go away for the summer, because it kind of sticks to my neck in the heat. :P
thank you all you ladies who are knitting squares for PROJECT LINUS... we love you!
Some child will be happier with a warm, cozy blanket to help them in their time of need.
