Save on Cool Crisp Cotton
If you enjoy knitting wash cloths, market bags or light and breezy summer tops I have the cotton yarn on sale that you need. Schaefer's sport weight Susan, Laurel a worsted and the bulky Sandra are all 25% Off and can be purchased by the single skein or dyeloted bag. Some quick project ideas for these 3 yarns are the Susan Drop Stitch Diamond Shell or Boatneck Shell, the Laurel Top, Summer Sampler or Knapsack and the Sandra Hooded Child's Cardigan.
Worsted weight Cherry Tree Hill North Country Cotton is 40% Off and one skein would knit up quickly into a beautiful washcloth that would make a thoughtful gift. Berroco's Cotton Twist is 30% Off. Karabella's sport weight Vintage Cotton and DK Zodiac are 5% Off per skein and 15% Off a dyeloted bag of 10 and Karabella Aurora 8, Aurora 4 & Aurora Bulky are just $4.99 a ball!

Savor your summer knitting with one of these new lacey designs. Ilga Leja's Straw Into Gold is an elegant example of how bias knitting can create a luxurious shawl with exquisite drape. Begin with a few stitches and, using the magic of strategically placed increases and decreases, you'll feel as though you're knitting straw into gold. La Lana Wools Phat Silk Fine or Schaefer's Susan will work beautifully.
Bella
Lily Go, the queen of empire waist top designs such as Lace Sleeves & Dahlia, has turned her attention to shawls. And you'll be happy she did once you see her new, darling triangular shawl Bella. Bella combines a stockinette stitch body with scalloped edges and its knit quickly in only 370 yards of a fingering weight. Pigeonroof Studios' Circe or Original Sock would make this shawl as unique as it is beautiful.
Elegant and lovely the Fickleknitter's quick-to-knit shawlette Flyleaf is constructed in the traditional triangle method with knit on edging and short rows to shape the edging around the center point of the body. Knit yours in either Margaret Stove's Artisan Lace or Malabrigo's Lace Baby Merino.
Ribbon Taffy
Of course a sock project or two is on your summer knitting list and Goddess Knits' has two new candy-coated designs! Her cabled Rock Candy, and the twisted stitch Ribbon Taffy socks which are knit in one skein of my Sandrasingh.com Superwash Fingering yarn. Both will satisfy your sock knitting sweet tooth!
