Dress it Up

By -


So I am not a fan of ITO yarn but it is a summer option 
so I thought I'd share these shots from my LYS.
I found the ITO to be like dental floss for knitting. 
I have a very cool green color sitting in the stash. 

Summer heat is here and I Love it. 
I'm wearing a Calvin Klein sundress and it feels awesome. 
It is full length but sleeveless. 
Covers up my Hungarian legs. 
oh Wait!
The woman at the RX support hose store said I should not blame the Hungarians. 
She says she sees Irish women with very big calves. 
She hasn't seen my relatives photos however. 
That would sway here, no doubt. 

I'll be porch knitting in a few. 
Up early for spay neuter surgeries this morning. 
Thankfully the Chihuahua mix was not a biter. 
They can get a bit snarly with the injection.
On to his forever home now!

Do you wear summer dresses and skirts?

Oh how I would love to be on your porch knitting too!!! It's already too hot for porch knitting today. Maybe I'll do some porch READING!

I do not wear dresses or skirts. I'm a shorts and polo shirt kind of girl.

I'm in a summer dress right now! I still have to dig out the flip flops though. I'm also nursing my first nasty bug bite of the season. I went out to get the mail and it must have been waiting for me. I'm in now for the summer. First the rain, now the bugs. Booooo....

I haven't tried ITO but I have knit with doubled crochet cotton. It makes great dishcloths. Doubled crochet cotton makes great sleep hats.

I do wear skirts, maxis and dresses, with spanx or bike shorts underneath. Skirts are my shorts for the summer. I never wear shorts and only occasionally cropped pants. I'm a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl.

Love sundresses and summer skirts and flip flops. Can't wear flip flops to work though...and given the shape I'm in these days I pretty much wear jeans and shirts to work (luckily we have a casual dress code). But a sundress can be so much cooler than shorts or jeans in the heat of summer.

I like wearing dresses in the summer - comfy and definitely cooler in hot weather. No shorts (in public) for me, thank you!

I love the summer knits with linen, etc.
I wear skirts all summer-they are cooler!

I either wear long pants or capris.. I'm not thin enough for dresses and shorts. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

What is ITO?
I wear some dresses and a lot of skirts -- especially as I get too old to wear shorts. And capris, especially light-weight ones.

I am slowly building up my summer wardrobe. I need warm weather running gear too. I love how ITO is packaged but that type of yarn isn't my style.

I love a good sun dress but have to wear shorter ones and long ones make me look 7 feet tall. I want to porch knit.

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
