Well, for anyone suffering in the heat on Monday, the weather yesterday and today must’ve been a huge relief. For anyone who hates the cold: sorry, but I am SO much happier. 
I can actually function again and not sit like a limp rag on the sofa waiting to melt.
I haven’t done a huge amount of knitting in the past few days, but I have a manly sock done:
and the other one is just past the ribbing, so expect a FO post around July. 
I have written up the Marina shawl pattern and it is now starting the process of being test knitted by several people, which is a new experience for me and will mean that the pattern is guaranteed to be more error free than it would be otherwise (not going to say 100% error free as I am not a fool!), though it does mean that it’ll be another couple of weeks before it’s available.
And I haven’t even got to posting about the shawl exchange! More on that in the next post. Right now, a small person is stirring from their nap..! 
THAT is a good-looking manly sock. I like those colors. How long are our naps these days?
