Sweet thoughts of summer.

Gee, you'll never guess where I ended up yesterday. A lovely little shop in Greenwich, CT called The Knitting Niche, neatly tucked away on Mason Street. Hey, it wasn't my idea. I only went because Regina wanted to go. But since I was there anyway...well, you know how it goes.

So,  I started thinking about summer knitting, and the beach and ice cream and the hot sun and the big blue sky and wahla - I came upon this scrumptious BIG SKY cotton. Couldn't ya just eat it up?

Several of my Close Knit Friends are working on the little ribbon-tied cardigan from last Spring's Vogue's Knit.1 and I'm going to knit one in this wonderful pistachio and spearmint.

I can't wait to grab my sweater on a hot summer night and head on over to Mr. Chubby's (I'm not making that up) for a cookie-dough cone.  Of course, I can see it now -- the blob of sprinkles that I'll manage to drop square down the front of it.

But it will be summer. And there will be lots of ice cream. I better make the large.

PS: Thanks to all who helped unravel yesterday's query on the ins and outs of yarn endage. I have a few more critical surveys coming up - a rather tricky one on...(dare I say it)...gauge.

May I just say, that I didn't have to twist your arm that hard in ordr to get you to go to the Knitting store, but maybe if I had, you wouldn't be able to eat that much icecream and therefore you would be making a size small sweater instead of scary Shek size, tee hee hee. great picture, yum. Reg

That is a lovely color combo! I like how they look tumbling out of the ice cream cups!

I love the kit - I whipped it out as soon as I got to Ash Creek tonight to show the decidedly underwhelmed Will. Men! If you drop me a line with your address, I'll put a check in the mail for you tomorrow. Thanks again!!
