Dear community,
The majority share of the knitting, crochet, and crafts industries, and the community that supports them, are women and non-binary folk with uteruses. After yesterday's devastating supreme court decision, essentially removing women's constitutional rights over our own bodies, need to support one another. We need to love each other enough to not give up. I see you. My heart is with you.
Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to be on a Zoom action-meeting run by a major women's healthcare organization. We feel powerless, but one of the suggestions they gave for things we can do is to donate to grass-root organizations that focus on women's healthcare clinics.

If any women or non-binary people with a uterus who are attending @hhamericas and need emotional support after today’s devastating Supreme Court ruling, meet-up at the seating section on the show floor next to the stage, after the Indie Magazine Panel at 1pm. 💗 #roevwade ...

Little baby things that don’t have to sit in my lap and make me even hotter. If I have to do a blanket, I make it in panels and seam as I go.
Anything…
I am just learning and LOVING IT!
Thank you for all that you do for the crochet and knit community! You are a wonderful, and Beautiful person!
Anything! Its knitting right?!? I like knitting socks the best though.
lace and cables – things that require concentration that I don’t have time for during the school year. And socks, everytime is a good time to knit socks.
My fav things to knit or crochet in the summer are tops and skirts.
My favorite thing to knit during the summer are socks. They’re small and the fingering weight yarn doesn’t weigh heavily on your fingers during those high humidity days. Plus, then you’re all prepared for winter!
Socks. They are light wieght and very portable for a busy summer lifestyle.
socks, lace and tees.
Sweaters for fall and socks! But I live in California and it doesn’t get too hot here.
Baby hats (mostly for charity), dishcloths, fingerless mittens, and socks; in other words, anything small!. During a Texas summer, who wants heavy wool on their lap? 🙂
Things made from cotton or silk in finer gauges.
socks
Sweaters (which coincidentally are my favorite thing to knit in the spring, fall, and winter, too)
Small, light items in cool fibers like scarves or stoles in cotton, bamboo or silk.
Stash busting projects, as I am always trying to get ride of old yarn to prepare for new fall yarn/patterns! The cupcake pattern I found on Ravelry and the Knitted Kitty Swap have been great for that!
Definately socks!
Light, small and easy to cart around you anywhere!
Light, easy, and portable – SOCKS!!!
100%, all the way, SOCKS! But I do have a shawl I plan on starting too, but it’s lace so it’s light and fluffy too.
Anything not made of wool!!!
Christmas presents! Otherwise, they’ll never get done!
Socks…easy and portable.
Ditto, Xmas presents, mostly hats, scarves and felted coasters with a needle felt design.
either baby items (to donate), or squares for blankets (again, to donate)
Socks and baby jackets.
In the summer, I knit purses for gifts, and also little bears and bear-sweaters. All are small and make good presents.
Purses and scarves, because they are small and quick; sleeveless/short sleeved sweaters (easy ones) because of the immediate gratification of wearing them as soon as they are finished.
socks and hats….. i’ll be ready in the fall.
socks, but that’s always an ongoing project with me. i try to start xmas knitting with small gifties like hats and scarves. felted purses. nothing too heavy.
shame on me, but i read more in the summer than i knit!
Eh, fun scarves and ascots! Right now I’m working on a bolero, but this is my first one. I like it too since it’s all open and lacy-like. 🙂
Ok, so it looks like hands down, small, portable items win! Thanks for playing! xo, Vic
Premie caps for Stitches from the Heart. They use up a lot of yarn, are small and won’t sit on my lap making me warm, and I can make one in 2 hours.
Christmas items: scarves, afghans, and ornaments.. Gotta get a jumpstart on the Christmas gifts 🙂
…the WARM MEMORIES of fireflies, the ol’ swimming hole, getting the other kids to paint grandma’s fence, crazy adventures with Huck and Becky in a giant blanket of comfort that keeps me safe until the white coat people say it’s ok for me to go home. My roomies Napoleon Bonaparte and Teddy Roosevelt think knitting is silly. I say it’s the best part of arts and crafts time here.
Cotton-y things for the kitchen and such. It might seem boring but they’re easy to take along to the lake or on a picnic and they don’t feel hot to knit in the heat. I’m also teaching myself to crochet so I’ll probably work on that this summer, too!
My favorite things to knit for the summer are socks. They are small and I am ready when the cooler weather comes. I do them for my grandsons for back to school.
I also enjoy doing dishclothes.
Anything that catches my imagination!!!
Lace!
