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!

Knitting tons! Despite the heat! I’m kitting for my “will knit for son’s race bike!” Campaign.

I also just joined the thunderstorm MKAL to help me mentally deal with the California drought! Thanks for the give away!
I’m knitting a lot of different things, as usual, this summer, including http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/felted-shoulder-pack (Pipp’s Purses). Anything with lots of color – just like your beautiful yarn.
I’m primarily working on socks since they’re easily portable and not a hot bunch of fabric on my lap.
trying to finish my first shawl. Done in Yowza color:Hunter.

This summer means a new puppy. I have done about 4 rows on a shawl,but in the Franklin colorway!
I’m finishing up the Be With With MKAL from Boo Knits. I’m try to finish up several projects and find acceptable small relatively easy projects to take on my summer travels.
