Warm weather knitting
Eamonn and I were baking bread last week when he said, out of the blue, “how come you don’t knit anymore?”
The honest answer? I was in the middle of a Spring scarf sometime in April, when I got to the end of the skein, and I was too lazy to go upstairs for the second one. And then I just completely forgot I was even in the middle of a project.
It might have sounded better just to say “I don’t like to knit in hot weather” 
At any rate, his question reminded me about the scarf, and I finished it up a few days ago.
I used 12 pegs of the little blue knifty knitter, and just garter-stitched until I had a piece long enough to reach my hips after being wrapped once around my neck.
I still have to weave in the ends – that alone is enough to make me want to stick to one-skein projects. I don’t enjoy that part of the process, and frankly I’m kind of bad at it. Aside from that, though, I’m pretty happy with it. It’s a cotton/viscose blend, so it’s not out of the question to wear it on a cool Summer morning.
More details on Ravelry.
Next on my knitting list? I really want to try Cold Mountain. I may be crazy, though

Beautiful scarf, Lisa. I love the soft, fresh colorway of the yarn you chose. mmmm….
Your next knitting project is simply breathtaking. I’m looking forward to seeing your creation!

Thank you. They are pretty colors, aren’t they? I love the pattern they make in the scarf, too – something I didn’t really show off in the photographs as much as I probably should have.
As for my next project, it remains to be seen whether I am entirely too ambitious or not! It may very well be beyond my (and my loom’s) capabilities at this point in time.
Hi Lisa,
Love the scarf. Beautiful colours and def. very summery.

Thank you! It feels a little odd to me to wear a scarf in the summer, so it may end up being a fall scarf, or a next-spring scarf
