In the Northern hemisphere, summer is heating up. What's a knitter or crocheter to do?! There are lots of small projects that are ideal for the dog days of summer, but lately we are inspired by all of the creative shawl designs that we've been seeing. They're great for keeping warm on cool summer nights (or in air conditioning, as the case may be!), and they're also a wonderful way to accessorize!
Veera Valimaki's
Color Affection is still the #1 shawl we see when out and about, but she has many other creative
patterns that will delight knitters of all persuasions!
