The sound of summer

So, for once, here I am introducing a summer pattern on a hot summer day with blue skies outside and Wimbledon on the TV! Endless Summer is a summer infinity scarf, made from Eden Cottage Yarns Theseus Lace in a gorgeous sunsetty colour called Red Kite. It's designed to be light and warm, to carry in your handbag or beachbag and wrap closer around your neck as the evening draws in. It's out in the current issue of Knit Now magazine, and the lace patterns are inspired by sand dunes, seagulls and lapping waves.

You may recognise the model, Jade, who won Britain's Next Top Model in 2011.

Rather unusually, this is a pattern with a soundtrack - the name comes from my Beach Boys compilation album - so if you want to listen as you knit, here you go...

Groove Armada - At The River

Jan & Dean - Surf City

Beach Boys - California Girls

Lovin' Spoonful - Summer in the City

Bill Pritchard - A Trip to the Coast

While I'm at it, here's a couple of recent Knit Now patterns I haven't blogged about, from issue 47, another seasidey one - Sailors Knot Cowl.
