Well, Hello

How is your knitting these days?  I have so many knits swirling around my head!  Isn't that how new seasons mess with our minds?!  Today is nice and sunny out, finally, here at Chez PJKnits, but it is still a bit chilly so no knitting on the porch for a couple of weeks.  But, the upside, the Tulip trees out back still have their flowers and the bushes are starting to turn green.  It won't be long and the real Spring will be here to stay.

Are your knits ready?  Are you knitting for Summer? I am, but also, thinking about Fall, because a couple of friends of mine and I are going on the Arne & Carlos cruise up the coast of Norway in October!  I blog more about that and my knitting down the road, but for now, I am just planning knits to have ready.

What I am doing is knitting on some Summer stuff or at least have some mail call to share with you from the last couple of weeks.

I got my yarn a few weeks back for the Clover Tee that we are doing a KAL for the Makers Meetup this July.  I tried really hard to use PYS, but nothing from there would work, and I really tried.  So I decided to go ahead and buy Line, the yarn the designer designed the tee in.  


I have a couple of tees out of this yarn, so I know I like it, so ordered it in a nice summery aqua.  I'll show my progress tomorrow on a new podcast and later this week, right here on the blog.


I, also, bought some yarn for the Sylven by Natasha Hornby that just came out recently. 


 I wanted to challenge myself with something beside stockinette for summer, and thought really hard about buying the yarn the designer knit it out of, but, saw that Dina from the Knitting Place used a Rowan yarn for her test knit, so I followed suit only in a lovely teal!!!  


I am super excited in my latest choices, and anxious to be knitting on them, but do have some other knits that have been waiting patiently for some time.

Its good to be back at blogging, thanks for waiting, have a good start to your week!!
