It’s so hot this week that knitting, even in air conditioning, has its drawbacks. Who wants the bulk of a sweater sitting on their lap when it’s in the high 90s?

My Sister Knits has an answer for you! We’ve mentioned it before but the Endless Skinny Scarf is just the project for weather like this! It’s also a perfect project for social knitting and travel knitting and will calm your mind if you have worries, such as a loved one who is sick.

Here at My Sister Knits we are getting the final details ready for the Hot August Knits Yarn Crawl August 1st through the 9th, which will be here in two shakes of a lamb’s tail. (ha ha) All participating shops will be open every day during the crawl and will have special events planned to add to the fun!

The 16th annual Hot August Knits Yarn Crawl planning is well underway for this year. The dates are Saturday, August 1st through Sunday, August 9th. Once again, the participating shops will be open every day during the crawl. My Sister Knits wants you to get it on your calendars as it will be here in two shakes of a lamb’s tail, as my grandmother used to say. 

Have you started yarn crawling yet? If not, there’s still time! You have until Saturday, August 10th to join in the fun.

The purpose of the Hot August Knits Yarn Crawl is to get knitters up and down Hwy 287 acquainted with the yarn shops in our area. They each have a different personality and stock items unique to each shop. ‘Crawlers’ as they are fondly called, have an opportunity to support local yarn shops and find out what’s available close by.

Plan now for the Hot August Knits Yarn Crawl, July 29th to August 12th! I don’t know about you but it often sneaks up on me. I want to be sure to visit all of the shops during the two-week event so I’m going to start planning and get it on my calendar!
