I thought Spring was finally here and now we are right into Summer.  There's lots of wonderful  summer knitting on hand. I'm not a big fan of cottons, but I have a great selection of cotton and cotton blends and I've been knitting up a storm with all of these yarns.

If you just want simple this summer -- here's a scarf that is 3 skeins of Debbie Bliss Delphi done in  a drop stitch pattern that I got from the Barbara Walker Learn to Knit Afghan book.
