Back to the studio after our week off!! Many of us went to the beach with family, some of us went to the mountains with friends, and some of us did the Staycation. It sounds like we all had a pretty good time, got rested and relaxed!
And now! It's time to start getting ready for SSK over in Nashville, TN in mid-July and Stitches Midwest in Schaumburg, IL in early August!! Come see us! We'll be doing some new things and have some new colors and project ideas which we will reveal as we get closer!
In the meantime, let's do a giveaway! The giveaway is one skein of Hot Shot! Color is winner's choice! Leave a comment about what summer knitting you are doing (or not doing) here on the blog by midnight PST on June 23. We'd love it of you can include the name of the pattern, 'cause we like to know what people are knitting!
Edited to Add: I've just emailed the winner. Congratulations, Chanda! We hope you enjoy your Hot Shot!

I am inveterate sweater knitter which are needed to surmount the winters here in Vermont. My knitting slows down during the hot, humid says of summer when I don’t want all that warm wool on my lap. To compensate, this summer I am knitting all the sleeves I want for the sweaters I am planning! This way, I don’t get bored with the same sweater pattern and not finish (because I still have the sleeves to do) and I don’t have to get overheated.
Right now I am designing a sweater that alternates two different Yowza colorways to get a “fair isle” like effect without all the yarn changes.
It seems to be the summer for knitting shawls. Working on 3.. Askews me shawl in miss babs yarns, Marled Wave in Isadora, and going to jump in on Alicia Plummer’s Thunderstorm MKAL. Knitting totally keeps me out of trouble!
almost finished my first shawl
Filmstrip shawl using Madeline tosh
i’m working on vanilla socks and XO Mitts!
