It’s June, which means warm weather for many of It’s June, which means warm weather for many of us in the Northern Hemisphere.* Some knitters might feel pressure to put the yarn away until winter, but knitting isn’t like skiing or ice-fishing. You don’t have to save it for the cold weather if you don’t want to.

And I don’t want to. Knitting helps me relax and focus. It makes me happy.

So I just make a few adjustments for summer weather and carry on. Here are some of the things I look for in summer projects. How about you?

It was originally slated for release in March, but after I sent the first version to my tech editor and we realized what a mess it was, I pushed it back.

We did another thorough round of edits to fix as many issues as we can, and then I knew it was going to need a really thorough test knit.

Thankfully, I have had an incredible team of folks working on the test knit for this pattern, and they have helped me iron out the kinks. We are finally nearing a point where I feel comfortable releasing this pattern into the world.

So mark your calendars. This pattern is coming in July. Hold me to it.

And note to self: never again do a pair of socks with both an all-over texture and mirrored side panels. It is a recipe for chaos.
Exciting developments over here at the Apiary! Thi Exciting developments over here at the Apiary! This T-shirt I’ve been knitting on has a bottom hem. Still need to do sleeves and the collar, but things are looking good now.

A lot of people ask me if I’m worried about sand getting in my knits, and that question always makes me laugh. I’m not worried. They’re washable!
