Can you believe it’s almost May? Spring is just zipping by and Summer will be here before we know it. I, for one, am very excited. While I’m anxious for the warm weather, seasonal food, and longer days, there’s one thing that I’m truly revved up about: summer thunderstorms.
My family would always gather on our front porch and listen to the thunderstorm roll it’s way into town. With the crack of lightening and the clash of thunder, what’s not to love. The thrill of watching the storm come in and then listening to the soothing rain fall is great, but I’m also a big fan of what appears after a storm: a rainbow. It’s one of the most beautiful sights in nature. There’s nothing better to top off a summer storm than that bright arch of colors soaring through the sky.
But alas, they fade far too quickly…until now! With my hook and yarn I can easily create a rainbow that will never ever fade. It’s the perfect way to add a pop of refreshing color to your home for the summer. Let’s crochet the rainbow with these beautiful patterns!

sea green/blue; corals (that’s my plan anyway! i haven’t been crocheting very long…this will be my first summer to crochet)
For summer I prefer the lighter colors: white, ecru, and pastels. This is my first year of working with worsted-weight cotton, I’m curious as to how long I’ll be able to use it this summer. In previous years I started working almost exclusively with thread around Easter and went back to yarn near the end of October. It’s just too hot for the heavier stuff when you live on the humid East Coast!
I love pastels in the spring/summer.
