Knitting Patterns for Spring and Summer

sitting comfortably and relaxed in the sunshine in the garden, knitting in hand, listening to the birds or even the radio—that's just wonderful.
If it gets too warm, just move your chair / lounger into the shade and have something cool to drink.
You can find suitable knitting patterns here in this thread.
Have fun.
