Summer Blues. #Folksy Friday.

Thought I would do a Folksy Friday blog of summery blue items today. The weather is so fabulous at the minute that it makes me think of summer. Let`s hope it lasts for a while yet. Actually I wouldn`t mind if it lasted until December. Maybe that`s a bit impractical though, lack of rain etc. Still we can dream. Although if the weather was always the same what we have to talk about?
I seem to be having a bit of a blue theme going at the minute. I`ve been enjoying using the Bamboo yarn, it`s a shame that it`s been discontinued. It has a nice weight, without being heavy, on a finished article. Tomorrow I will be listing a summer wrap made in this yarn. There is one only in these colours, so if you like it, grab it quick. Mind you, the same goes for all the things I make. I will use a similiar style in different colours but don`t repeat those colours in that style. Always, only one of each.
As usual, to see a description or larger picture, just click on the item to view it in the shop.
ENJOY!!!!

I`ve got some summer blues
and they`ve had lots of views.
All are cautious in case it goes
we all know how our weather flows.
But if it goes for a little while
don`t worry, it`ll be back in style!
Summer will be coming don`t you fear
so get your goodies while they are here.
Long dreamy and warm summer days
sometimes lost in a heat haze.
We don`t mind as long as it`s here
it`s been a long winter without cheer.
It seemed to last so very long
but we were brave and very strong.
Out came the stiff upper lip
a long winter was just a blip.
Now the nights are pulling out,
SUMMER`S coming, I want to shout.
Soon it`ll be picnics and barbecues
so many tasty goodies to choose.
A jug of squash, a glass of wine
could anything else be so fine?
The company of family and friends,
lots of fun and chat that lends
itself to a good time for everyone
outdoor living till the summer is done!
