Do you ever find yourself too hot to knit?  Or are you like me and just can't put the needles down? 

I do, however, implement strategies to get me through the heat of summer.  Things like knitting a lighter project; knitting with cotton; and even knitting while my feet are soaking in a tub of cold water.   Mmmmm, bliss.

This project, above is one such 'lighter project'.  This is my 'Birds of a Feather' by Andrea Mowry.  It's a great pattern and it is a very quick knit.  I used two skeins of Ridge Top Fibre Studio's Silky Merino in 'Heath' and two balls of Rowan's Kidsilk Haze in the colourway, 'Dewberry'.

I also have the printed pattern available in store.  If you would like a kit, just let me know.

Now, as the heat is rising I think I'll move on to some cotton knitting.  A t-shirt might be just the thing. 

Well, the wattle is starting to come out which means that winter is almost over.  But that doesn't stop me from knitting.  In fact, with new products in the store, I am very eager to try all the new yarns.  The new Cumbria colours are just lovely and now I am selling Ridge Top Fibre Studio yarns .... well, I just want to cast that on straight away!

I think I currently have a dozen or more projects on the needles, but I can't seem to stop myself from casting on all the yarns.  Surely I'm not the only one who does this.

When the new Kaffe Fassett colours in Rowan Felted Tweed arrived, well, I was a little excited.  I had them spread out to look at them properly and I just couldn't take my eyes off them.  My mind was racing - what to knit, how soon can I cast on?

I just wanted to hug the colours to me.  They made me feel so happy.  It's wonderful how colours can do that, don't you think?  Not to mention when happy colours are then transformed into yarn.

It just doesn't get better than that.  Take a look for yourself, I'm sure you'll agree with me.
