It is never too
late to be wise.
It's Summer…believe it or not. It is Summer. Reality hurts like hell. Especially
when you look at the calendar, you
look out the window, back at the calendar, the window….I remain optimistic. So
what to wear during what technically is summer?
The usual attire of the over
zealous Irish person; flip-flops in the rain, white linen trousers with mud
spatters, skinny strapped tops in gale force winds. This is where summer
knitting takes precedence. I don’t buy into knitted/ crocheted bikinis nor do I
make them. I have heard the horror stories of the ill advised. You were hoping
to do a take on Halle Berry emerging out of the water like a Sea Goddess, but what you got was the old
nag at the garden party in Bridget Jones Diary. When yarn gets wet, it gets
heavy. A far more stylish option would be to cover up! Now, I’m not grey yet
and I don’t mean wearing a tartan blanket over your legs while lying on the
beach. No, I mean, soft, delicate cardis, boleros, even Beanies. That’s a hat, by the way.
Summer = festivals, surf, cycling and general outdoor activity. What looks
cuter than a strappy top worn with a woolly hat. Or a slippy dress under a Kate
Middelton style ‘little fluffy cardi’. Sorry girls,
but my advice, keep your knitting out of the water.
