Always! Newborn blankets! Purses, cotton scarves as well as winter scarves. I use the tiny cotton thread for Southern Belle purses and interesting in the way it opens and closes coin/folded bill bag. After high school I crochetted my long white wedding dress from Knit Crosheen, small cotton thread doilies are made of. Puff sleeves in a tight shell had finger tip belle sleeve added

I travel full-time with my husband in a semi (truck). I knit and crochet all of the time on the road. I do projects that can fit inside a backpack, mostly. (I have a small shelf for a few extra skeins of yarn and my bag of knitting needles.) I only let myself do two projects at a time–a small one like a baby sweater for our local Crisi Pregnancy Center, and a larger one like a sweater for myself. The only full-size afghans I make are ones made in sections!

I live in Hawaii too, I actually learned how to crochet while living out here! =D The flights back to the mainland give A LOT of travel time to get a project done, or last little bit that needs to be finished up! =D most of the projects I’ve done out here though were made from granny squares, just cus I’m not that good yet! Lol

I crochet smaller projects when we travel. In no time I have a pot holder or scrubbie or dish cloth finished! I also keep my stash of scraps in a separate container so that these too turn into pot holders.

I live in Hawaii in a house with an a/c that we rarely use (electricity is super expensive over here), so I pretty much crochet and knit in the heat all of the time. I had troubles working up the energy to yarncraft when we first moved here, but now that I’ve grown accustomed to it, I find it bothers me less (being cold-natured certainly helps, though!). Still, I find I gravitate toward lacy or cotton-based projects during our own “summer months” as well, and leave my chunkier, warmer projects for the rainy season.

Like the other commentors, small projects make for great summer yarncrafting as well. I just finished a scarf and two hats, and will be doing some motif work for a yarn bombing soon.

I make tons of dishcloths during the warmer months. I love smaller and more portable projects. Another great project is knitting (or crocheting) socks!!! Make them now to wear in the cooler months!

It’s hard to knit (which is what I mostly do) in the hotter months… So I am crocheting granny squares to make a tote with. Change of pace!!

I knit cotton items- wash clothes, hand towels, and try my hand at new airey style shawls.
