After a wet and cool June and July, it is finally hot here. Too hot for wool.
I’m just about to start the lace charts on Seraphim, so this is a good time to put it down for a little bit. I’m going on a trip with my mom and my sister, so I need to pack SOMETHING good to knit.
So I finally started Orangina. I’ve been meaning to make this top for years. I think I can finish while it’s still hot out!

I’ve been swatching for Orangina, but I’m determined to finish a few WIPs before casting on. I love the color you chose for yours. Have a great vacation!

I agree it is much too hot around for wool right now! Of course I’m still knitting away on a pair of socks thanks to the magic of AC
Have a fun trip, and I love the color of your orangina!

Ugh. I know! I couldn’t bear the idea of working on my sweater last night. I cast on for a nice small pair of socks instead.

Orangina seems perfect given the humidity we’re dealing with. I’m sure you’ll finish it and enjoy it a little before the cold weather comes back.
I love the photos of your kitty!

Winter here, so wool knitting for me! I love Orangina; I have a thing for boat neck tops. And you do know that wool’s not orange don’t you?!

I’ve always loved Orangina too! Pretty color, I can’t wait to see it!

Perfect timing! It really is too hot for wool. Orangina is a great hot weather knit.
