At My Sister Knits, we like to put down our heavier knitting during the summer and opt for something lighter weight. For some of us, this means setting aside our in-progress sweaters and finding hats or shawls to make instead. Shawls are just the thing to stuff into your bag when you’re going out for the evening or might be in an air conditioned building. This summer I vow to remember to take one to the grocery store!

As I sit down to write this, it’s blowing a gale outside! The leaves have been so pretty this year but most of them are on the ground now. The daytime temps are dropping fast, autumn is truly here, and I’m thinking of which cozy shawl I want to knit!
