Hi Nancy! My very favorite knitted items are shawls. I hardly ever wear them, but I love to knit them! I usually drape them around my house to admire them. I have knit many "easy" ones, right now I knitting a complicated lace weight shawl from knit picks, it is so pretty but I am not sure I will ever get it done! It takes me about an hour per row, as I am on the wide bottom part. I have been working on it on and off for about a year. A good easy pattern for shawls is The Splendid Shawl from Lion Brand yarns. You can find it on www.lionbrand.com or search for it by name on Ravelry. I have made that shawl in about a week when I was on deadline. It is beginner's lace and pretty easy.

Hello.....very excited about joining the group! I'm a beginner knitter, find it easier on the hands than crochet.  I've knitted lots of scarves and crocheted lots of afghans.  Right now I'm knitting a baby afghan using the pom pom yarn.  It is looking good!  My goal is to knit beautiful shawls.  Does anyone have suggestions for shawl patterns??

Many times in the summer I work on Ganny Squares, then as the weather gets cooler, I sew them together....

I do more crocheting of afghans, then knitting, since it takes too long to knit them!  I also make lots of hats and scarves that I give to those less fortunate, and I started a Prayer Shawl/Lap Robe Ministry at my church, so I always have at least one of them in the works as well

Hi, welcome! I make afghans throughout the year. Most of the ones my patters are for crochet in a strip. So I only have it on my lap once for a few days or hours. But if I knit it that's another story.

i pretyy much only crochet afghans, so the lapful of yarn is for me a year round proposition, although i do try to do more crochet in winter and less in summer. but, when gift blankets are needed it doesn't much matter the season. one thing that helps is that i use 100% cotton yarn for all my croceting, so not quite as warm a prospect, even in July in Texas ;-)

I agree with this...I don't like having a lap full of luscious yarn in the summer even if the AC is on...LOL!  Although i do snuggle under one if I need a nap!!!~:)

Hello everyone, I am new to this group and wondered what is the favorite knitting summer project for everyone? I start my Christmas gifts this time of year. Ten sweaters for the grandchildren and socks,hats, scarves,ect. for friends.I try to save the afghan knitting for the colder months when I don't mind having a warm lap!
