What to knit and crochet in summer

OK, Summer is hot.So you need something cool to work on. Something small enough not to lay in you lap, something that is portable for taking to the movies or ball games or to the pool with the kids.

Socks are a great thing to knit in the summer. Small, portable, usually only needing one skein to carry and small needles to make portability easy.

Not quit up to socks yet? What about shawls? They range from easy enough for the bare beginner to do, to lace patterns that will interest the jaded crafter. They can be made with one skein to a dozen. Almost any yarn can eventually become a shawl. And they a GREAT for cool restaurants and theaters after the warm outside.

Starting in August is a Shawl workshop. Two hours of classes that cover the basic of shawl making for the beginner knitter and crocheter.
