Sending you my warmest greetings from North Carolina, dear Knitters. Far more than 'warmest', I would have to say hot and sticky with humidity! This will be my first summer in the southern states and so far I find the humidity a bit oppressing. But I am quite thrilled with my new (rented) home. I am in a relatively rural area surrounded by small farms. When I go out to the nearest shopping center I pass horses, cows, and fields of corn. If only there were sheep! But they might sweat to death in this heat.
I've spent most of my time unpacking my house, yet managed to find some sanity-saving time to work up a new design. It is a crescent shaped shawl worked in two colors of fingering weight yarn. The border is a combination of lace and bobbles and the main body is Stockinette Stitch worked in short rows. Here are a couple pictures of it blocking. I am working on typing up the pattern and hoping to have it ready soon for test knitting. If you are interested in test knitting come join my Ravelry group,
Azalea & Rosebud Knits, I will post the call for testers there soon.
Until then, dear Knitters, stay cool in the summer heat and Happy Knitting!
