Knitting as a summer activity

Published by mityka at 7:56 pm under Knitting, Miscellaneous

Yeah. My husband often teases me, why I knit socks or sweaters in the summer. I don’t understand the question. Why on Earth not? First, it takes so much time to me, that I probably will not finish them until the winter anyway. Second, there are yarns for the summer. Yesssss. Ssssssssilk, for example. It is just right for the summer. A cool touch on your skin. Or cotton. It will dry up your sweat. And all those non-wooly goodness of bamboo, soysilk, milk-fiber, corn, etc.

And what could entertain the knitter more than a delicate lace shawl. Knitting beside the pool. Or even better: the sea. There, if, you have a sea around.

Now, that the weather is getting better and better here, and Sára is starting the – ‘Let’s go to the swimming pool, Mom!’ – chanting, I’m starting to think about some summer knitting.

Not that I would be able to finish anything FOR this summer. But who cares, summer will be next year too.

So I just take my time and finish my sweaters first. Then I might look for a nice cotton or bamboo cami. Or I just knit some socks, on those warm and long summer evenings.
