The current temperature, according to the thermometer in my kitchen window, is 35C. which is 95F if you don't speak Canadian. I sat outside for awhile, but I am now hiding in the A/C. I'm a delicate little flower, who wilts when I get too warm.
Yesterday, I was doing some sewing prep in the basement'
I'm using my lovely big table to tape together a pattern for cargo shorts. The young man in my life likes lots of pockets in his shorts. The printer paper turned up during the great cleanup. so I figured I would use it to print my patterns.
This is the fabric. It also turned up in the great cleanup.
I received requests for 3 pair of baby socks. So my evening knitting has been the little socks.
I finished the red sock, but was having a hard time casting on the second sock in the late evening, so I cast on a blue one. They will all get done in the end.
I finished the first sock of my July/ Aug. pair.
I broke my usual rule and didn't immediately cast on the second sock. However, it is up next, after the baby socks.
In my buy Canadian effort, I found this yarn. It is actually from a very local hand dyer, and the yarn is from Ontario sheep and goats, and spun in Ontario.
They look like they might like to become mosaic socks or gloves or?
The heat is suppose to continue into the week. If you are looking for me, I'll be in the basement.
Yay for the Canadian yarn, a skein of which has come home with me each Canadian visit! 35 is a bit too hot for me too. 24 is nice. 27 is getting a bit warm.....love the helicopter fabric.
ReplyDeleteYour socks are looking great, as is that new yarn. We too have a hot week coming up - but even hotter in France. Emergency fire risk measures in the area we used to live. But then we are getting wild fires here too as it is so dry on the moors. Stay cool and enjoy making those shorts. xx
ReplyDeleteThose July/August socks are beautiful with their matching cuff and heel! Well done!
ReplyDeleteThose socks are adorable. Knitting in this heat, I can not imagine doing it, even with the a/c blasting away at top speed. Love the fabric for the shorts!
ReplyDeleteBaby socks are such fun to knit, aren't they? And that Alley Cat yarn looks great. I'm always happy when I can find sock yarn that's *not* merino! P.S. like you, I wilt in the heat -- starting at about 27 C...
