Wednesday, July 29, 2026, Issue 450: What's on your needles?

With the slightly cooler weather that we've had with the gusty wind, I hope you have all managed some outdoor activities! Do you have summer knits on your needles, or have you started your sweater weather fall knitting?

It is a little cooler out but with the smoke that has been in the air recently, it is better to stay indoors. I am happy to say that my shoulder has been improving and while it is still sore, upward motion is back.

Is it hot enough for you? I'm afraid I have been staying inside with the coolness of air conditioning and knitting... at least until Monday morning. I'm afraid that's when I woke up to my right shoulder aching so badly that I can't even lift my arm. I've had it x-rayed and am waiting to get an ultrasound. For now, I am typing with my laptop ON my lap.

How's the summer going for you? It seems to be zooming by too quickly with weather that has been rather unsettled and hot. Last Friday, we had a power outage that lasted 19 hours so I had customers on Saturday shopping by their cellphone flashlight! I'm lucky I can make sales and take payments on my cellphone.

It was chilly this morning and while it didn't really warm up, the sun was shining! It made me want to cast on a new summer project but I still have WIPs that I want to finish first! What about you? Are you ready for summer tees like these three?

After a few spring-like, warm days, we have been hit with intermittent rain, and tornado warnings. No matter how wet it has been though, the drab browns are changing to lovely greens! Let's get some warm weather knits on our needles!

It was grey, wet and windy outside today without any hint of the warm weather we've been getting. Now that spring is here and the snow is hopefully a distant memory, let's get into spring yarns and knits.

It hasn't been very warm outside and mostly grey out. Even when it is sunny out it, it is not as warm as it appears. I am not ready to wear more seasonal sweaters yet but we can cast them on our needles!

This past week has felt like spring out there but today was rainy and wet! I still have my two projects to finish before I start my warm weather knitting projects. I am more than ready, are you?
