SPRING & SUMMER YARNS WHAT TO DO WITH THEM

I have been playing around with a lot of yarns lately... mostly silks, cottons, hemp, linen and a few more... I have been very amazed at how many spring/ summer garments or projects I want to make.. Other than my felted bags with will be another topic or my socks..(obsessed with those)... silk has been my new passion.. I want to make a couple spring/summer tops in basic colors to go with my funky skirts.... and shawls that's another category... I can't even pick out the Fiber Trends Pattern I want to do... so many yarns not enough time... I saw the most beautiful sweater in linen.. have to do that too.....very classic... any thought on spring or summer yarn...what projects are you doing.. love to know.. sighting yarns and patterns are very helpful...   Donna
