Oh my word… you guys have hooked, knit, sewn and crafted in some amazing places…but I think the most out there has to go to Connie who hooks whilst being a pillion passenger on the back of a motorbike! Yes you read motorbike!!!!
Now that’s extreme crochet and some serious nerves of steel.
S0, welcome to this Sunday’s yarn a long. So far this month we have nattered about our crafty hacks and our alfresco crafty habits in honour of world knit in public day.
This week I thought I would like to gather your ideas about what you like to hook, knit, sew, or craft in the sunshine. The weather here in the UK has been quite pleasant of late and I have several blankets on my hook and it’s just too warm to be hooking under a blanket for any length of time. I did write a blog post about the top 5 things to crochet when it’s hot which is just here…they included
gloves and tea cosies
But, I have hooked these now and am looking for some fresh ideas…What do you hook, knit, sew or craft when the temperature starts to rise?

I enjoy making snowflakes. They make great gifts, and look so beautiful as ornaments on the Christmas tree.

Well, today I have crocheted around a small stone, using embroidery thread and a funky little 2mm hook to make a cherry blossom necklace, following ideas from this tutorial http://foothillhomecompanion.blogspot.com/2009/02/winter-berries-tutorial.html?m=1

Hi Julia, thanks for the link. This is why I love asking questions like this because I find out about beautiful projects I would not have known about just like this one. 🙂

When it’s hot I find I switch between projects more often and mostly work on them indoors too. Recently it’s included a knitted cotton summer top, a hand embroidery I started years ago and then this week I got my sewing machine out and played as well. I did try to sit in the garden with my knitting – it wasn’t too hot to knit but I got distracted by the sunshine and found myself just sitting there, eyes closed, enjoying the rays!

Knitting in the heat can be difficult, but since switching from metal to bamboo or wooden needles as least there’s less squeaking!

HEHEHE…I do like the clicking of needles though!

I understand that too – as a very little child I used to sit near my mum with two needles in my hand just banging them together ‘like my mum’ – apparently!
