Saying Goodbye to Summer

Today marks the last day of August and that means it's almost time to say goodbye to summer.

September in New Jersey is one of our best months. The beach crowds head out and the weather is still warm and summery. We will be gearing up for our big farm day at the end of September, knitting for the shop, teaching classes, planning our winter and of course, getting the kids off to school every morning.

With the close of August, we will be closing our Arrow Acres Summer KAL.

It's been fun to see what people have been knitting all summer long.

Here are a few of the projects from our Ravelry  group page.

So many inspiring projects were on our needles and hooks all summer.

The prize thread will be begin this week!

Lots of beautiful goodies to give away.

Happy Knitting!

Yarn Along - Summer KAL Clockwork Shawl

Happy Yarn Along Day

As part of the Arrow Acres Farm Summer KAL, I am making the Clockwork shawl by Stephen West.

Fun, quick, light, colorful...summer! Join us for the summer knit-along and you can win some prizes!

Find us on our Ravelry group page.

I am knitting with some sock yarn that I bought at the Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival this year.

It's silk and merino and a tiny bit of nylon. Hopefully it won't be too hot and I can wear it on summer nights with a tank and shorts or jeans.

I am reading Shotgun Lovesongs right now. It's told from the point of views from all the characters. All grew up in the midwest on farms. Now they are adults and all leading different lives but still connected. So far it's great!
