I have decided to knit with cotton blend yarns. I am making several sweaters that will be worn in the autumn. I live in a very hot climate so the tank tops I knit last year in cotton cannot be worn in the summer😢 presently I am knitting the Chinook Winds sweater from pom-pom quarterly. I’ve used Katia Concept Cotton-yak yarn before. It feels like cotton when I knit so my hands don’t get too hot in the summer, but the garments are perfect for fall and winter because they are warm.
Sounds like a cool plan. I've never heard about cotton - yak, need to check it out. Yeah, I live not in the hottest climate, but still it can be hard to wear knits
Winter here in Australia and I'm a novice knitter so I'm making some house socks and then maybe a merino + mohair vest for layering at work. Our winters aren't too bad (10 deg is as low as it gets during a winter day where I am) but i feel the cold
Wooow, you have such a warm winter, especiallyfor someone who used to have at least -10 deg 🤪. But I'm definitely happy to have colder winters and colder summer 😅 Have you decided with a vest pattern?
the new dress is amazing. Can't wait to see it❤
Yeeees, it will be a loooong process, but interesting

@knitting.your.life8 trust me, I'd prefer colder summers too 😂
Totally understandable 😅
