"Even the Egyptians loved warm cosy toes."
~Sally Coulthard, from her book Crafted A Compendium of Crafts:  New, Old & Forgotten
(Did you know the oldest socks were excavated in the Egyptian city of Antinooupolis and date from around 100-350 A.D.)
We had a great time at our movie night on Tuesday (thanks so much for joining us!) and we have a super group of kiddos this week learning how to knit. Next week Sue and Linda head to yarn market to get inspired for fall!
Why socks in the summertime?
We may not be needing them for warmth, but they are a fantastic small and portable project for your summer knitting venues. And sock yarn is kind of collectable if you are visiting a cool local yarn shop! AND we've had requests for a summer sock class, which has been set!

Brewski of the Month - Melontini

The gals at Brew City introduced sock blanks this month - super fun as socks and also great for gradient/ombré for shawls.

The Mason Dixon girls promise it’s going to be so fun!

CURRENT PROJECT
An amazing thing happened this week - TWO finished sweaters came in made with Erika Knight's Studio Linen! They are both beautiful! On the left, MaryLou wears the Siena and on the right, Leslie shows off her Bluebird.
Studio Linen is cool to the touch, and with a delicate drape this is a perfect yarn for summer.
