Remember what I said before each month in Off the Needles taking on it’s own character? My original idea for July was more patriotic, but due to my incredible forgetfulness/business, some of the props weren’t available. (IE, I was going to print out a vintage knit your bit poster and ran out of time. I suck.)

But instead, the theme for this really was COLOR. And it was awesome. And way better than what I had thought of originally. Our Miss July is Jasmin of the Knitmore Girls podcast, and she was a fantastic subject. With some fantastic knits, too. I wish we could have photographed all the options she brought.

Seriously, look at how all the color just pops. It makes me want to go run outside in a sundress and celebrate summer.

Except that we got our two days of summer, and it is now apparently fall.

Never mind.

Isn’t she gorgeous?
