It’s hard to believe the last month of summer is winding down already! The great thing about being a knitter, though, is that the drop in temperatures and shortened days means knitting season is here. I know some knitters who only like to knit when it’s cold out, specifically around the winter holidays in many cases, but summer is a great time to stretch your skills, try new fibers, and do that most ironic of things – beach knitting. While there’s nothing better than winter knitting with a mug of boozy cider, I do love spending hours on the beach listening to the waves as I work ahead on a new favorite project. Today, let’s pour one out for the end of beach knitting season and celebrate the start of cool weather knitting by drooling over these recently released patterns I can’t get enough of!
