Do you like to make items to wear in the summer or are you strictly a cold weather wear knitter?

I love wearing knits all year round and this is my latest warm weather item.

This is Stromboli by Caitlin Hunter . I knit it in my new base summer, which is a fine superwash Merino/ cotton/ linen blend in the color Moody Blue. This was a fun very memorizable lace pattern that I found enjoyable to knit and I love the way it looks on. If you’ve knit lace before and bottom up sweaters before you could definitely give this on a try. I also did a Ravelry project page for it and my user name on Ravelry is Hopemade.

Summer as well as all of my bases are currently on sale on my website, link in profile!

Today is four years since my last Radiation treatment. Normally I go out to dinner with all three of my boys to celebrate, but this year I’m working at a Fiber Festival.
This year’s celebration included, a wonderful dinner at Zeina’s Cafe with my friends , on the way back Debbie mentioned the ice cream shop near my hotel, and Ben decided we needed dessert, so he and I walked over.

This is my friendly reminder to listen to your body, and go to the doctor when something doesn’t feel right. I’m happy to say, I saw my radiation oncologist in May and he said at this point the chance of recurrence is very low and that he doesn’t need to see me for a year, which means I truly feel like a survivor!

Life is short take care of yourself and eat desert if you want to!
