Today's weather is high at 33deg, a hot and humid early afternoon. These are taken from my kitchen window.
See how my clothes swaying in the hot wind.
I must be crazy to cast on Vesper in such a hot hot humid weather.
I guess love wins !
I love the loose fitting, simple top down with a pocket design. Pleats are hand stitched after the knitting is complete. I think this will be a big challenge for me as i have never done pleats before, and would like to see how my hand-stitching skill is on a knit top.
This is the first time I have 360 cast-on stitches on a 32" circular needle. I have to tie short stash yarn (left over from the crochet granny squares and other projects) to mark every 50 stitches.
As this is a long-tail cast on, i started off with my 5 arm length of yarn, thinking that it will be enough, but alas, I am 100 or so stitches short. Oh boy !! this is the first time that I cast on 500 over stitches at one time!! I can feel the numbness on my left hand fingers.
This is so far my work-in-progress looks like. I hope to finish as soon as i can before my love for it "dies" out due to the heat wave even though i m in an air-con room.

Love the colour the yarn. Can't wait to see the finished project.
If you use cotton yarn, I think vesper will suitable for our climate. Good luck!
For your sake I hope you have air con - 33 degrees it the point at which you want to peel off your skin and sit in your bones!
Yep! the heat could be felt all this way too.
