I really want to know what you do on Memorial Day weekend? Do you have plans with the family to picnic and start the unofficial start to Summer? Do you get out in your garden? Are you heading over to Indianapolis for the Indy 500 or like me plan on watching it on t.v. on Sunday, enjoying snacks and knitting. Or if you work, are you just going to take it easy and enjoy your 3 day weekend?
I really wouldn't mind doing a couple of things myself this weekend, besides the race on Sunday, that is if the weather would just cooperate. After a bit of heat recently, we are back to the rain, the wind, and dare I say, I had to turn the heat back on last night. And if this is your case, well, there is still time to get started on those Summer sweaters and tees!
What I love about Summer tees is that they can be relatively fast, but also boring, at least when you get to the stockinette parts of them. On the last podcast, I talked about how I have 16 Summer sweaters with a couple more that I would love to cast on, but as you also know, I am wondering if I will get them done in time to wear them?!
I finished the Clover Tee by Lene Holmes Samsoe last Tuesday, and have it drying on the bed. With this cool, wet weather it is going to be a couple of days before it is dry. And by the way, these are pool noodles in the pic to help with drying and to keep the ridges out of the sleeve when it is laying flat.
I was super glad to have it finished, because it is for the Makers Meetup in July (I don't do well with deadline knitting, hence the reason I knit ahead of the season we are in so I can wear it in season)
But, even before I was done with it, I was already plotting what to cast on next, and can you believe it, I had two sweaters waiting in the wings along with another Musselburgh hat for the 🚙, I'll share this with you dear readers this weekend, hopefully in some nice bright light.
Until then, I hope you have a nice start to the long weekend along with some knitting for Summer!
