Sleeping Weather

Summer Friday
We’ve had perfect weather the last few days. Warm, sunny, humid-free days and cool, breezy nights. Good sleeping weather, everyone says with a grin. Sleeping in air conditioning relieves the hot, humid nights of July, but sleeping with windows wide open is so much nicer, don’t you think?

I’ve been spending time with a good book and West Knits Mystery Shawl. I vacillated on colors for a while, but consultation with Irene from SnB and Jodi from my LYS led me to the perfect orange yarn, and I think my book’s cover may have influenced me a bit, too.
Book and Shawl
I’ve been doing a lot of crochet design work, which I can’t show you quite yet, and I’ve discovered that knitting is a fantastic way to take a break from the hook. I’m a rather severe hooker (oh, I can’t wait to see what the search engines do with that!), but a loosey goosey knitter, so knitting relaxes my wrists a bit.

I hope you have good sleeping weather, too. What have you been crafting when you’re not sleeping?

  1. Love your clue #1 and the book shot! Love your colors. I’m working on one too. I just finished #2 last night. Advice: weave in those ends as you go. I haven’t yet…. 🙁

    I agree there’s nothing better that sleeping with the windows thrown wide open, the cool night air and sound of crickets and tree frogs lulling one to sleep.

  2. I’m wondering if most people who crochet have a loose knitting gauge. A good friend does both, but her crochet gauge is nice and tidy and the knitting gauge is super-loose. And I’m totally with you on the sleeping weather. I woke up under the down comforter and was snug until the damn alarm clock went off.

  3. well funny you should bring this up…I just rearranged, straightened out and bought a new comforter for the bedroom…….
    have to say that sleep in the heat is awful and sticky and sleep in the crisp of night is a dream!

  4. totally jealous about the open windows!! (in august, really??!!) and love your westknits colors. can’t wait to see you wearing this one!
