This hot weather is not conducive to productive knitting or quilting, but I was determined to have something to show before I would post again. I don't remember the heat bothering me when I was young. That story has changed since I went through menopause. While wallowing in our air conditioned home and riding in the car while Mark is driving, I managed to make progress on a few knitted items and one little quilt.
I'm half way finished with this little decorative scarf that's worked in garter stitch with leaves growing up the side. I got the yarn while on vacation in Cape Cod at a little yarn shop called The Black Purl. I think when I block it you'll be able to see the leaves better.
The Noro cardigan has some of the left front finished now to go with the back that I had done earlier.
Another Noro project (I guess I love Noro yarns) is this lace patterned scarf. I am almost finished with this one. It's made with sock yarn and I'm using the whole skein.

One of my flower pots that I like....coleus are so interesting. I had to throw some flowers in not only because I love flowers, but because we went to the WesterFlora Garden Show this year. I got a few ideas and I'll work on those ideas in the fall and next spring.
This is a little I Spy quilt I've been working on since the spring. Hopefully, someone will enjoy playing I spy a spider or a grasshopper or Santa Claus, etc. with it while they ride in the car.
....a close-up.
....a peek at the marble fabric I used on the back.
.....another close-up to show the narrow red accent fabric I used on the outer edge next to the binding.
Well, stay cool everyone....until next time.
