For most of us this is the summer of the heat dome. Maybe not ideal for knitting or crocheting afghans or sweaters but perfect for small projects like socks and hats.
What’s on your needles or hooks? Have you plunged into sweaters and blankets regardless of the temperatures? And what plans are in mind?

I’m heading to cooler climes with a crochet shawl in Yakima, and just about to cast on a new Jody Long pattern, which he named for the owner of the LYS I hang out at! We’re doing a KAL:

The pattern looks cool! It reminds me of cocoa beans somehow…

Cute chicken!
We had a heat wave last week, I couldn’t bare the winter sweater I was working on to be anywhere near me!
I started a cotton/linen (in Drops Belle) pattern which was nice and light to work on. It helps having lighter yarn and knitting in pieces rather than all in one helps too.

I’ve made some changes, reverse stockinette main body with a bit of rib detail at the side seams and making it without the button band. I’m hoping to join the front centres with a seam and a zip …if i can make it work. I wanted an opening zip but i saw some unusual 2 colour zips and had to buy them, they don’t open so it will have to be a pullover rather than cardigan. I will probaly make a different style pocket and add some surface crochet colour too.
