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’m working on a Lacy Baktus and two pair of vanilla socks, one in fingering weight and one in sport weight.
I am trying to balance knitting for my newborn with all the other knits on my list!
I am working on a Basket Weave pillow, a Spring Meadow Scarf KAL, a Perfect Purse, a Brickless Shawl and am finishing up a Cable Afghan #13 – Done by Monday, and a Super Chunky Double Cable Afghan.
The pillow and afghans are birthday and wedding gifts for my sons. The shawl and scarf are for me! :)

Working on finishing up some sweaters and socks for the summer. My big project will be Donna Druchunas’ MKAL Yarn Fairy’s In My Garden starting July 1. Can’t wait for this!
This summer, I vow to finish my Celestarium shawl that I’ve been working on since January. Trying not to start anything else until that’s completed.
I am currently working on the current Miss Babs knitting tour trip to Atlantis and knitting Journey To Atlantis by Lara Smoot. Plus have a personal wedding shawl that I am going to have to knit for my August wedding…scramble yikes. Wedding shawl is going to be Promise Me by Boo Knits in either Miss Babs Yasmin or Yet from my stash once I decide on the color and beads.
I am finishing a baby hat to go with the blanket I made ( vertical lines), planning on knitting skippers hat for my husband and then a bunch of hats ( different styles) for Emily"s Hats for the Homeless.
I am working on my first crocheted afghan, one big granny square, and yesterday I finished my Edith’s Secret shawl. My son wants a monster too that I’m going to need to make.
