I don't know about you, but I spent most of the gorgeous day yesterday knitting in the sun (under a sunhat and 50spf sunscreen)!

I'm trying to finish an old wip, a bulky-weight cardigan that was incredibly sweaty to have pooled on my lap, but I'm determined to get it done!

Did you do any knitting over this beautiful weekend?

Turtlepurl Striped Turtle Toes sock yarn is back in stock! These twin sets of self-striping yarn knit up into a matching pair of stripey socks. Some, like the set shown here, even come with a contrast yarn for heels and toes!

I usually have a small project on my needles for summer knitting, something that doesn't pool on my lap, and a pair of self-striping socks (or light weight mittens, or a tiny baby sweater) would be just the ticket!

What a beautiful day to be knitting some tomatoes in the sun! 🍅

I'm volunteering today at a golf tournament in support of the Yukon Food Bank, BGC Yukon, and Big Brothers Big Sisters Yukon, and it's making for some great knitting time in the sun!

I'm thoroughly enjoying the All Tomato Sock pattern by ! There's a few rows with 3 colours in the colourwork, which is not my favourite, but it's worth it for the effect.

Do you ever knit in the sun?

I was whining to some friends recently that it's been too cold for my poor tomato plants, and one of them told me it was time to knit tomato sweaters. And I know she meant knit the cold sad plants some sweaters, but instead I ran to Ravelry. LO! Behold my two favourite designs!

All Tomato Socks by Fox and Fleece are sort of ridiculously cute! I'd probably reach for Drop Fabel for this one, though I'm eyeing a gorgeous light blue from Sweet Georgia that would make a great background choice instead of a light green!

Little Tomatoes Pullover by Svetlana Gibadullina is making my fingers itch, and I'm eyeing up the Sandnes Garn Tynn Peer Gynt we just received last week. Alternatively, a softer option would be the Sandnes Garn Sunday. I think both would knit up beautifully in this yarn.

*I'm not casing anything else on i'm not casting anything else on I NEED TO FINISH PROJECTS FIRST BUT OH NO I'M CASTING ONE OF THESE ON!*

Are you considering something a bit goofier for a summer knit? I might cave on that sweater...

Do you know how many times I've stabbed my fingers, digging around in a project bag, looking for my scissors? Too many times!

I'll bet that wouldn't happen with these cuties! We got both you AND the scissor tips covered!

Have you seen some of the light-weight summer tops that have come out these last few years? Drapey, sometimes lacy and just the thing you need for a hot summer day, or layered under a button-up? Or a drapy cool layer to hide northern skin from our intense sun?

This yarn is just the thing to make those patterns sing! The Sandnes Garn Tynn Line (pronounced "leena") is the fingering-weight version of the heavier-weight Line we've carried for years.

Made up of 53% cotton, 33% viscose, and 14% linen, this yarn is flowy and cool, with a slight variation and sheen to the strand that adds just a touch of texture to the finished project!

Whether you're knitting, crocheting, or weaving, any project made from this yarn will be a lovely addition to your summer wardrobe!
