Today is the solstice, the longest day of the year, the official start of SUMMER.
Aaaah. Summer in Michigan. A time for sipping icy drinks on a patio. A time for heading to one of the Great Lakes (for me, its Michigan) and chillaxing while you watch the waves roll in. Festivals and barbecues. Trips to the ice cream stand. Boating and camping. Eating fresh, local produce. Climbing a sand dune.
And also... a time for sock knitting. We know these summer moments are so fleeting here in Michigan. However warm it is today, we know we're going to return to a frozen landscape in the not-too-distant future, and WE. NEED. WOOL. SOCKS.
Socks are the perfect portable project for taking on vacation, to the beach, to the festival, to the patio. So let's make some!

I am hosting a Summer of Socks KAL/CAL over in the Team Michigan group on Ravelry. Team Michigan began as a Ravellenics team for Michiganders and has since expanded to be a KAL/CAL group for Michiganders or people who have a Michigan connection. Summer of Socks is going to be super relaxed. WIPs count, so drag them out of the project box and finish them up before there is a chill in the air! You can win some yarny prizes...
I hope you'll join us!
