What I'm knitting this summer

I don’t know about anyone else, but I always find it really hard to motivate myself to knit once the weather starts to warm up. I get very little knitting done in the summer. But once those cool September nights come back my needles are flying.

With all of that said, none that really makes much sense to me since I'm not an outdoor type of person. I tend to sit in my air conditioned house most days anyway. So, why am I not knitting?

This summer I'm going to try my hardest to get myself prepared for winter. Below are some of the things I’m going to work on.

Hats

I always have it in my head that I want to knit a new hat for everyone before winter comes. But I tend to start planning them way too late, and then by time I get to picking the pattern and yarn, winter is almost over.

Sweaters

I just don't have nearly enough finished handknit sweaters in my life. Plus I’ve promised my sister at least a dozen cozy sweaters and have finished exactly zero for her.

Socks

I have so much Knit Picks Felici to knit through. And I like the idea of socks for when it's too hot to have thick yarn running through your fingers.
