    The evenings can feel quite cool compared to the heat of the day. Would use it more as a shawl.

          Think I take after my Auntie who brought me up. She knitted non stop, even when she was cooking, work under armpit. She could knit a Fairisle pullover in a week ... everyone got sick of pullovers! :biggrin:

          I started a granny square afghan so I can do a square at a time so it will be a while before I finish anything else as I hope to spend time outdoors.:fingers crossed:

              That blue is a lovely colour @Victoria and the white makes a good contrast ...

                Thank you Michael. It is obviously the camera as the "white" is yellow. :smile:

                    I've still got 7 yellow and 2-1/2 blue left so I may make another one which will get me through May, then I will stop for the Summer. Maybe this shows the colours better.

                      Just finished an afghan I have been working on for a couple of months. It is an Acrylic/Angora yarn so very lightweight..
