Although knitting in the winter has a special warm cozy feeling, I sometimes think I prefer knitting in the summer despite its apparent seasonal disadvantage. There's no pressure at this time of year; I can take projects with me on vacation, and I'm often starting on next winter's Christmas presents, so anything I get done qualifies as getting ahead. Lately I've been branching out a little bit, and instead of making endless pairs of heavy socks I've been thinking about tank tops and cool shawls.
The Fourth of July will be here before we know it, and what better way to pass the time into those balmy summer months of cookouts and camping trips than knitting a summery project?! We've sought out a few Fourth of July-themed projects and listed them here, but lots of projects could be made more festive by choosing red, white, and blue or adding a star or two to patterns like Cotton Classic Sleeveless V-Neck. The possibilities are endless - as I sometimes wish summer was.
