Knitting Summer Knits

It is that time of year which is really odd for the knitter. You get bombarded with summer patterns and cotton even though there is a tiny window of hot hot summer! A lot of people (us included) tend to carry on knitting winterish things regardless.

But…this year, there are some really tempting summer knits and yarns around which are not just the bog standard cottons that you normally see. In the window this week are 2 of best examples. The lemon cardi on the left is from Rowan Magazine 45 and is knitted in Cotton Glace. Yes, it is perfect for summer but also can carry through to all but the coldest weather with the 3/4 length sleeves. Perfect for layering.

The green cardi is the one on the front of the Rowan Lenpur Linen book. The Lenpur has beautiful drape and again is not just a summer knit. Penny is knitting another of the Lenpur Linen patterns and is loving it. It is knitting up like lightning.

The fantastic fabric and patterns in the trunk are mostly Amy Butler along with some of our new patchwork gadgets. I have just made Amy’s Barcelona skirt and it looks fantastic. I am definitely going to make another one as the shape is so flattering. Plus it’s really easy and quick to make.
