by the seashore

swish, sway, swing skirt...........by the seashore. It is by the seashore, that I would love to spend summers......ahhh just perfect! The temperatures hot, but with a cool breeze off the ocean, just what summer should be.

Lots of memories made::watching dolphins swim at sunrise::morning coffee and knitting with mom::finally reading and finishing a book::starting a new book::shelling with my kids::using used milk jugs to collect shells and other tiny treasures in::running across hot sand::watching my kids play in the ocean::playing in the ocean with my kids::knitting on the beach::playing tiles::enjoying my favorite wine::thrifting::bike rides::taking a day trip to jupiter::sneaking charlie away alone for a bike ride to the ice cream shop::needle pointing::short boat rides::fishing on the dock::watching the kids save the minnows that washed up with the surf::bringing the dead minnows home to use as bait::fruit/yogurt and flax seed bread everyday for lunch::sending the boys out the door with pappy to play golf::girl time.

Here is the skinny::
Pattern::swish, sway, swing skirt from the kids knitting notebook, size 28"
Yarn::Classic Elite Four Seasons, 3 skeins green color 7697, 1 skein yellow color 7612
Needles::size US 7
Notes:: Super super easy, knit in the round. I love this yarn. I think it truly can be worn in all four seasons! Amazing! Libby loves this skirt, and wants one in chocolate brown for the fall.
Modifications:: Libby wanted two colors, the pattern only calls for one. I changed to the second color after the increase round.
Looking forward to checking in with everyone and seeing what you have been up to!
