Hello Knitsters!
Well, it's officially summer! It sure feels like summer in Toronto, lots of sunny hot days. Do people still knit in the summer? YES! In fact, last week i just finished knitting a wool and alpaca blanket! Anytime is a good time for knitting something interesting...but if you don't like the idea of a wool blanket sitting on your lap, maybe reach for something lighter weight, perhaps in juicy summer colours like those shown here!

This photo is of our newly arrived IndigoDragonfly Superwash Lace. For $35 you have 990 yards of handpainted Superwash Merino laceweight yarn. That's enough knitting for the whole summer! (well, depending...)

The names of these colourways are hilarious! For example: "Agnst for the Memories", "Butterflies & Zebra Moonbeams & Fairy Tales", "This is Your Brain on Cookies", and "Angry Bridesmaid", just to name a few.

If I were you, I'd pick up a skein of IndigoDragonfly Superwash Lace, a nice Addi Lace Needle, and a copy of Elizabeth Zimmermann's "Knitter's Almanac", (if you don't already own this perfect little volume) because, according to her, July is for shawl knitting.

Keep Knitting,
Megan
