Why Knit in Summer?
Knitting
isn’t just a winter hobby! Here’s why summer knitting is a must:
● You can work on small,
lightweight projects like market bags, lace shawls, and tank tops anywhere.
● Windy fibers replace bulky
wool with cool, airy, and lightweight yarns.
● Knitting is a calming and
relaxing activity that you can enjoy doing in air conditioning, on the beach,
or by the pool.
● Knit chic, trendy patterns
that you can wear immediately!
Things to Keep in Mind
Here
are some tips and guidance for you:
● Why not starting summer projects with lighter fabric? Knit
using yarn that has soft, moisture-absorbing properties, such as cotton blends,
linen, or bamboo.
● To give uniqueness to your
project, use neutrals, pastels, and white colors to reflect heat and appear
fresh.
● Choose small projects like
accessories, tanks, or lace tops.
● If you don't know which
needle is best to work with, buy a complete knitting needle set
from KnitPro in Symfonie, Dreamz, Karbonz, and the mindful collections, which
include multiple knitting needle sizes for you to try.
Why
not make something unique and creative with your hands? Knit and relax at home,
by the pool, or traveling with friends,
Make
your needles busy this summer, and start knitting simple and creative projects
that enhance your creativity.
