What Do You Do When It Is Beyond Hot Outside!!


Why.... you knit a shawl! I'm doing this in a design called "palm fronds", but in many ways, it is closer to what I call "feather and fan". The pattern is simple - only a repeat of four rows - over and over and OVER.... until you get it to the length you desire it to be. I'm knitting it on either 10 and half or eleven needles and using Noro Silk Garden in Shade No. 84....

You're brave. I think it's too hot to knit, but hopefully your house is nice and cool!

I didn't know you did knitting Linda. This is gorgeous! I love the pattern and colors.

One of my goals this year was to learn to knit, but it may have to wait until next year. Too many projects!
