New to your channel from a search for summer knitting and found this topic particularly helpful. I’m contemplating knitting my first summer tee. It’s especially valuable to see the knitted items “in action” on the knitter and how they have worked out in the wardrobe. I also have also seen included on other videos a frank discussion of materials costs which I think is a very important factor for most makers. So yes, I would love to see more of this type in a series, and yes to baby knits too:)

Super great podcast with super cute knits. I love how your mom sends you picture of her wearing your knits. So adorable... I'd never really knit summer knits for myself before this year. I had been looking for a cotton-ish simple white cardigan for years to replace one that is nearing the end of its cottony life. And nothing... So, the heck with it, "I'm going to make it myself" she said... So I'm knitting a modified same same cardigan by Ankestrick (no pleats) in Sandnes Garn Line. I'm gently approaching the separation for sleeves... almost there... but 3.5 mm needles are a small gauge to be knitting a cardigan I think. I'm an elementary school teacher, so my time and energy are usually absorbed by "adorable" 4th and 5th graders (I usually feel like a toothpaste tube that is being pressed empty...). Here's hoping I will be wearing this cardi before Summer 2025!!

Love this video! I also am a big fan of Aimee Sher and have knit the Coloring Book Raglan (worsted weight but I've done it in DK too) in three different ways and am on my third version of the Coloring Book Tee (fingering weight) - so many ways to mix and match the views and really personalize the fit and look. I've knit the Ranunculus multiple times as well - I think I'm on my third...? I also find the yoke to be very engaging and the overall project being at a looser gauge that can be easily adapted makes it versatile for so many yarn weights!

Welcome welcome! I'm so glad you're here. :) Oooh that's a great question! I'd love to see a striped version of it. If you do try it out, there's a couple of things I'd probably keep in mind. 1. You will probably want to change colors on a row where you knit (instead of a purl row) to keep the color change clean. 2. the side seam may not completely "match" the striping because slip stitches are involved. If you're cool with attempting it and making a striped version, I say go for it! Sabina (of Caidree, the designer) is also really great, so I wonder if she'd have suggestions if you plan to make a striped one. :)

I'll be honest. I've only made two garments for myself (one was a cover-up I don't like the yarn, and it looks awful on me) and the other one is a tank-top that the straps were too long and the body is too tight and it just never fit right. I've been thinking about ordering yarn to make myself a tee, but I can't really imagine anything being flattering on my particular body type. And I don't want to invest that amount of time and money on something I won't wear.
