Long Time No Blog…
I’ve been having lots of shoulder/neck trouble again which has put a wrench in both knitting and computer time :-( I’m hoping I’m on the way to mended.
The break from knitting and computing has given me a bit of time to get the garden going. Fortunately, gardening strengthens a lot of the muscles that are currently weak from all the forward work of typing and knitting. In fact, several of the PT exercises from the last flare up were named after gardening tasks. So far, the north beds are all done and plants have been procured for at least one of the west beds.
While the weather here is not yet sweltering (knock on wood), I know it will not be long before I’m wishing we had AC. So, my mind has been turning towards both cotton and smaller projects lately. The photo above is of a secret project I’m working on at the moment. I’m using three different colors of Tahki Cotton Classic, a 100% mercerized cotton dk weight yarn. I’m a little bummed that my row of single crochet did not stop the curling… I’m thinking I’ll shall need to do more crochet around the edge, but have not yet decided whether to continue with the blue or do one row of each color. It’s in time out until I decide!
What are your favorite types of hot weather knitting? Or do you give up knitting in favor of other warm weather activities in the summer?
