I recently ventured into the depths of South Florida to visit family and friends this past month. While there I found myself teaching a friend to knit. We started easy and visited a local Michael’s where we purchased some yarn and needles. A few weeks have passed and she has now completed her first project, the Potato Chip Scarf. I also got her started on the glorious “Blankie“.

Now, FL Friend would like to work on other projects. But as we all know, Michael’s is quite limited in their selection of yarns. Especially in South Florida. I suggested she use online sites like KnitPicks and Yarn.com being that there are virtually NO YARN STORES in her immediate area. Another question we have is, what can one really knit for FL weather? The heat rules out many favorite patterns of mine. Does anyone have a favorite yarn, or project that you think is appropriate for FL?
