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?

It has been blustery and cold with sporadic rain but while today has been sunny out so when I am not sitting in front of my computer, I have been happy to sit and knit. I am not ready to start warm weather knits yet are you?

Weather has been a roller coaster with freezing cold one day, snow the next and windy or unseasonably spring-like so I have been trying to knit whenever I get the chance. Have you too since it is definitely still sweater weather?

It has been so cold recently that the recent "warmer" weather was much appreciated. I think that I am so over winter already! Are you knitting sweater weather sweaters or are you anticipating spring and planning your warm weather knits while you work on your wips?

With sunshine but still cold sweater weather, a cozy sweater, shawl or socks make the best projects to reach for but wouldn't it be fun to cast on a Valentine's project!
