My Summer of Squares

I am always curious about people who say they don't knit in the summer.  They cite the heat or gardening ...but don't they have air conditioning?  ...how do they stay sane?  ...how do they keep on top of their stash?
Okay, I admit that my knitting production may be down a bit this summer, but I think I've finally figured out why.
 
I need more auto pilot knitting!
 
I have MANY projects on the needles, but they all seem to be at a point where I need to think, plan, measure, or write down what I'm up to.  That just doesn't cut it when I'm distracted and rushing around.  Even my 3 pairs of socks are at that point.  What are the chances?!?!?
 This past week, I've been designing and knitting "spa cloths" ...or glorified dishcloths.(The name depends on whether you include a lovely bar of
lavender soap with the 'cloth', right?) 
I'm thrilled with how quickly they've knitted up and it's been lovely having something simple to occupy my hands. 
 
My late spring and early summer knitting was occupied with two renditions of
the Building Blocks Afghan by Michelle Hunter.
 Preparation for a new class tends to keep me on task, so I quickly finished my green afghan.  When it was done, I started the cream version ...just for fun.
 Since each block was small, portable and rewarding, it travelled with me on vacation. 
I kept two blocks on the go, so when the scenery distracted me,
I worked on the simpler one.
 
 
As our afghan class nears the end, I realize that most of us have kept up with our
1-2 blocks per week schedule.  Well done, knitters!

Conclusion: Squares Make Good Knitting.
 
What are you working on this summer?
ps. This class will run again on Saturday mornings this fall.

  1. My name is hoover, my 18 year old daughter, Tricia was diagnosed with herpes 3 years ago. Since then, we have moved from one hospital to another. We tried all kinds of pills, but every effort to get rid of the virus was futile. The bubbles continued to reappear after a few months. My daughter was using 200mg acyclovir pills. 2 tablets every 6 hours and 15g of fusitin cream. and H5 POT. Permanganate with water to be applied twice a day, but all still do not show results. So, I was on the internet a few months ago, to look for other ways to save my only son. Only then did I come across a comment about the herbal treatment of Dr Imoloa and decided to give it a try. I contacted him and he prepared some herbs and sent them, along with guidance on how to use them via the DHL courier service. my daughter used it as directed by dr imoloa and in less than 14 days, my daughter recovered her health.
