I think this blog was supposed to mention knitting from time to time. It is even listed in knitting blog rings, something that must frustrate devoted knitting-blog readers (there's a lot of them).
As mentioned previously, once summer comes, knitting tends to drop off around here. Knitting magazines attempt to entice us with "summer styles" which tend to be a bit weird IMHO. Knitting just doesn't fit into a summer scene - who wants a hank of wool on their lap at the beach? Too sandy.
(I'm sure I'll get comments by dedicated summer knitters who disagree with me on this, which is fine 'cause I'll take all the comments I can attract.)
But I still knit a bit these days. Mostly cotton and silk, simple stitches on small projects. This scarf fits the bill.

This is as close as I'll get to lace knitting, which is incredibly frustrating and tedious for me.
My friends turn out exquisite lace shawls and sweaters and socks knitted with toothpick needles and thread-like yarn, but I'll stick with the humble worsted-weight and my size 7's.
