Summertime...

..and the knitting is easy!

Who wants to deal with cumbersome, heavy projects when the temps are soaring? Not me! With the hubbub of summer activities and the high temperatures, I'm happy to work with some yummy organic cotton and our fabulous new pattern, The Beachcomber

The Beachcomber is a design for lazy days, knit with super soft and comfy organic cotton. It was inspired by the "Big White House" my family goes to on holiday every year in Maine. The landscape is rugged, rocky and teeming with life; the perfect place for young kids to explore. These designs are what I picture my kids wearing as they watch the lobstermen pull their traps on the bay, crawling on the rocks hunting for mussels, or flying a kite in the big yard with the salty breeze carrying it heavenward.

Got some summer parties and picnics coming up? Our Perfect Summer Dress is the ideal frock for some frolicking fun! A super simple knit that you can dress up or down with whatever fabric strikes your fancy, this sweet dress is sure to become a wardrobe staple. Easy, breezy and carefree - the essence of summer living!

Looking to knit something for yourself instead? Our Sock Club is the perfect gift to yourself (or a knitter you love!) Each month you get a luxury skein of sock yarn in a club-exclusive colorway, a new Little Turtle Knits sock pattern (club exclusive till Jan '09) and some knitterly swag (because who doesn't love getting good surprises in the mail?)
