What the Fair Isle? Is it just me or has Kansas totally skipped it's early summer weather? We went from wearing sweaters (Well, I was wearing sweaters this spring, but I don't take much arm twisting to pop one on.) to hot, steamy, better off nekid weather in a matter of days. My ancestors must have been from far northern places where humidity is expressed mainly in inches of snowfall. Because this hair of mine reacts quite violently with crazy, frizzy curls to this weather. (I am not taking a picture.) So when you stop by the shop, I am the shrubby looking thing behind the desk that really needs to get her roots done.
So enough about the weather, lets get to the knitting...
I am doing the Frock Camisole (great free pattern by the way) in Cotton Supreme Batik. I need to start by saying, in general, I HATE KNITTING COTTON!(There... now I feel better.) It doesn't stretch in your hands, it's totally unspringy, and it kind of squeaks on your needles. {shudder} BUT...this Batik is like butter.
Seriously.
And the colors are gorgeous. Batik is like the really pretty girl in back in high school, that should have been a stuck-up pig so you could hate her with a good conscience, but actually she raised money for orphans and walked dogs at the shelter and played piano at nursing homes. She was even an honor student, so you couldn't even make dumb jokes.
Batik even self patterns for gosh sakes...
At the risk of sounding like a bad 80's song...I have never (never) knew cotton like this before - What a surprise - Never (never) knew cotton like this before - Opened my eyes! Yeah, Baby!
Oh, come on...you know the words...
