It has been very hot. New York City set a heat record yesterday: 105 degrees Farenheit. (Or, if you speak Celsius, 40 degrees.) Since I am not a summer person, it is, bluntly, hell. <\/p>\n

So. I cope by hiding in the air conditioning, and I knit socks, because they are nice and small. I finished one today:<\/p>\n

\"Jaywalkers\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I am making a pair of Jaywalkers out of Lorna’s Laces sock yarn, because Glenna’s<\/a> collection of Lorna’s Jaywalkers is inspiring, and like her I aspire to own a pair of them for every day of the week. (Two down, one in progress.) <\/p>\n

These colors are so amazing that even though it’s too hot to even want to touch wool I cannot stop knitting. The colorway is called Gold Hill, and it’s just enchanting. Seriously. Look at this colorway.<\/p>\n

\"Jaywalkers\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s like the Lorna’s people took all of my favorite colors and shook them up and put them on yarn. (Well, almost. It’s missing blue. If it had a nice dutch blue in there I wouldn’t need another color of yarn ever again.) I want more of this colorway. I am actively considering tracking down every skein of this colorway in existence and hoarding them, just so I will never run out. (Don’t laugh, I did that when Knitpicks discontinued their Dancing sock yarn.) I’m not sure I will be able to wear these socks when they’re finished, because I’m going to be too busy admiring the colors to actually stop and put my feet into shoes. <\/p>\n

That, and it’s just too hot to wear socks right now, but you get the idea.<\/p>\n

I eagerly await the return of sock weather. Tomorrow would be great. <\/p>\n

Stop laughing. Dreaming of sock weather is the only thing that gets me through heat waves. Sock weather. Mmm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
