knot another hat: knitting for all seasons

Spring has sprung is trying to spring, and for so many of you folks that means less knitting time. I get it - the garden is calling, trails are begging to be biked and hiked, and the daylight hours just keep getting longer. But the arrival of Spring and warmer weather doesn't have to mean the end of knitting, which is why I want to talk to y'all about knitting for all seasons. Yes! Some people really do knit year round! It blows my mind when people walk into the store come September and they haven't knit since February. What? People stop knitting for the "off-season"? Surely not people I know, right? All joking aside, we do live in Oregon, and have our share of days when playing outside isn’t an option. And don't forget all the other times we can be knitting (how much time do you spend waiting in doctor’s offices?).

If you don't know about some of your fair-weather knitting options, allow me to introduce you. Lightweight shawls, meet Knot Another Spring Knitter:
