Freaking Hot

According to Weather.com, it is 96 degrees outside right now and it feels like 104. With that sort of heat, the idea of doing anything with wool becomes ridiculous. But who can resist? So I started two small projects:

A scarf from my handspun


And an Obama hat

Since the yardage is low for the scarf, I'm knitting it on size 15 needles, and threw in a few rows of elongated stitches and yarn-overs. I've got about three feet done, and it looks like there will be enough yarn to make a scarf of respectable length. The hat is going to be knit all in navy, then I'll use duplicate stitch for the logo. I can't figure out how to do it any other way and still knit it in the round. That's all I can give you, the heat has begun melting my thoughts.
