Knitting in the Sunshine
 |
| taking advantage of a warm summer afternoon September 2020 |
Last week, I made an effort to sit outside and knit for at least an hour each afternoon. I soaked up every bit of sunshine I could because I knew a winter storm system was headed this way and would bring a drastic end of summer.
For a change of pace, I cast on a Baby Surprise Jacket, using two skeins of Plymouth Encore. The variegated skein is Encore Dynamo (color 042 - Persian Empire) and the solid brown is Encore (color 1204 - Brownstone). Both skeins were purchased at a thrift store several years ago.
Hoping that winter storm didn't bring much snow for you. It's currently 45 degrees here and we got just a drizzle of rain early this morning. But it does look like we might see a little more rain today. BRRR! Not ready for winter yet.
ReplyDeleteVery smart of you to take advantage of the good weather and hope it isn't too bad of a storm that is coming.
ReplyDeleteYou;ve definitely got some crazy weather!
ReplyDeleteThat is a pattern that intrigues me. Some day I will try it! Meanwhile, I hope you did not get dumped on too much. My brother in CO said it was 93 there yesterday and 33 this morning...temp is dropping and rain is changing to snow for him. They are forecast to get 8-10"!! Life in CO!
ReplyDeleteGood plan! Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! Nothing like a good pattern like the BSJ to get your knitting juices flowing!
ReplyDeleteYou're getting a snow storm and we are getting a tropical something or other over the next few days. Rain, heat and humidity AGAIN. I'd trade you if I could.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice sitting outside in the sunshine for a while, knitting or hand stitching, or even relaxing with a good book. I know I certainly enjoy it in the good weather.
ReplyDeleteIt's still warm here, but there are hints that fall and winter are on their way.
ReplyDeleteI hope tomorrow's storm isn't too bad for you.
Great plan for Sunshine and Vitamin D. Indeed we are in a damp and gray and full of rain. So Knit knit knit I shall
ReplyDeleteThe weather is crazy isn't it? I hope by the time we head that direction it is all melted and warmth is back.
ReplyDeleteTake care and I'm looking forward to seeing that surprise jacket.
Blessings,
Betsy
Yes better enjoy the sun when we can!
ReplyDeleteIt’ll be fun to see how these colors come out as you knit.
