\"ScannedImage\"<\/a>As the hot days of summer arise I had a question asked of me; \u201cHow can you crochet in this heat?\u201d I actually find it quite easy, and when I look back over time I think I understand some of the reason for this.
\nWhen I was in my youth, summer was when I had my free time, unlike some of the childhoods of today, mine was a time of being at home, playing outside. There was no differentiating the days of the week, Monday was just like Friday which was just like Wednesday, there were no camps or classes, just finding a way to play with my brother and sister, without fighting and getting on mom\u2019s nerves. So during this time creativity had a time to bloom and picking up a book and working a project was readily done.\"Rising<\/a>
\nAs I grew older and the relaxing days of no responsibility and laid back summers waned, I was crocheting in my down time to actually stay cool. I know that thinking of temperatures at or near 100\u00b0F doesn\u2019t sound like a time when picking up a skein of yarn sounds like a cooling off event, but in my home, which has never been comprised of air conditioning, sitting in front of a fan is the greatest pleasure. It is this sitting still, yet being productive that crochet has allowed me, sit right in front of the fan and work away. In actuality most of my leisure crochet has been created in the hottest months of the year. My hands have kept busy while my hands keep creating. In most recent times the yarn in my hands have been bamboos and silks, then just seem to speak \u201ccool temperature\u201d, or maybe even a cotton. This is just a little mental trip I think, but it does the trick and seems to reduce the temperature.
\nOkay so I might just reverse this argument for reasons way I crochet in the winter, sitting by the fire to stay warm, but it is too hot outside to think of the fire, I just want to think of sitting by the fan, so I guess I will find some crochet and keep cool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
