Dear Community,

When it’s really hot but you still want to enjoy some crafting, what crafting techniques or materials do you use?

Cotton is usually fine for quite a while. And make small pieces, so you don’t have too much warm stuff on your legs.

I like working with a 50/50 cotton/acrylic blend in 3-ply.

I’m currently working on a raglan; 4 mm needles, wonderfully soft wool/polyester yarn. The single strand isn’t very thick. I’ll decide later whether it’ll be a sweater or a jacket, since it’s going to have a V-neck anyway. 

And when it’s this hot - I prefer knitting to crocheting, no idea why.

I just finished a cotton sweater. That works reasonably well even in higher temperatures.

But I usually knit socks—mostly during cooler parts of the day—using virgin wool.🙈

I also like working with linen or a cotton/linen blend when it’s hot.

But sometimes the needles just have to take a break when it’s too hot...😘
