It's the heat of summer in the northern hemisphere, and there's something undeniably inspiring about working with colorful yarn as the sun shines (maybe with a nice iced drink nearby). In today's Eye Candy post we're sharing some beautiful lightweight projects: summer tops perfect for a backyard picnic or beachside stroll.
