The Summer Of No Knitting

this has definitely been the summer of no knitting. my family and i spend most of the summer at the beach and even though i packed a ton of yarn, it was just too darn hot!
i only managed to complete one project and it was probably because it was a lace weight silk!

pattern: elizabeth zimmerman's seamless raglan
yarn: habu textiles a-1, 2/17 tsumugi and habu textiles copper
needles: size 5, circular

i am giving credit to elizabeth zimmerman for the pattern but the truth is i just knit to my own measurements. i also added in some waist shaping since the copper would take away some of the stretch. love, love, love the copper!!! i wish the one sweater and blog post for a while could be more exciting but alas it is not.
i am working on two more exciting projects right now so until next time...
