Too Hot to Knit

Ladies, it is just too hot to knit. It's been in the 90's the past few days and we've been warned it could hit triple digits by the weekend. I have finished one of the girly-girl baby socks and I'm on the second Cool River Sock (I've been trying to think of a name for these socks and it just came to me), but mainly I've been reading, watering my flowers, and playing with fabrics for a doll quilt.

Knitting When It's Hot

It's going to be in the mid 90's today, unusual for us in the mid-Willamette Valley of Oregon. Today I have time to knit and that's what I want to do. I've closed up the house, placed the fan so it's blowing the cool air on me, poured myself a glass of pink lemonade, and put on an opera CD. It's one of my favorites, La Traviata, and I have the volume on low so it's background music.

Ignore the photo of the Blueberry Hill sock I put in my last post. I've changed the pattern. Again. And now I'm working on a third pair of socks for July made of a lovely Koigu yarn (colorway: 211) I bought on Tuesday. I've named the socks Denali Wildflowers. The stitch pattern is a simple one. No sense making things more complicated.
