Knit & Chat: All My Summer Knits and What I'm Working On Now
Hello and welcome to a cosy little video where I'll show you everything I've knitted this Summer, plus what I'm working on right now.
I definitely had got hit by the "knitted tops bug" this Summer, and for the first months of Summer all I wanted to knit was tops! I also went through a phase of stripes, and recently I've had a color crush on pink 💕
Some of the projects shown in the video I have knit pattern for already, and some are coming up this Fall :)

One of the best aspects of this luxurious show and tell is that it really does reveal that some things do not meet their goal and that you learn from it and go on from there, in such a steadfast way. I think you give courage to so many knitters who could be scared of making a mistake or not having the outcome dreamt of. You remain intrepid and inspiring! What you do produce is just gorgeous!

When I mess up and have to frog something, I think of Kika’s tears she shed while knitting her wedding dress and I realize I’m not alone!
Love the honest inclusion of unfinished projects - relatable! I do love the yellow lacy though! Maybe the inspiration will come back and it’ll get a second chance 😂😍
Great start to my day in the USA. What beautiful items, thanks for sharing.
I am a big fan . Making a hat and sweater from your book! You should do another walk through of your book for people who missed the release.I love the Sailor Swift top and bought that pattern too!
I love how you show the true side of knitting! I think at times, we all get caught up while consuming knitting youtube/knitstagram/ravelry post, and start to think that every project must turn out right the first time, or we should only have a certain number of WIPs, or its not okay to fall out of love with a project, or we need to knit at a certain frequency. I really appreciated your openness, because I think many of us can relate :)
It makes total sense that writing the pattern when the knitting is fresh is much easier. Just do it girl!!!❤. Your style and designs are unique and elegant, love them all! 🎉
I was 4 or 5 years old when I was first introduced to knitting. It was such a comforting, relaxing time. My grandmother would put me on her lap and let me wrap the yarn around the stitches, and eventually, hold the needles while she guided me. Her patience was amazing. I haven’t knitted in years, but came across your channel and I’m obsessed again! Thank you for your content!?❤
The yellow blouse looks WONDERFUL! Please give it another chase 🥺
Love all your creations!!!! ❤I also love and look forward to your video tutorials. So helpful and encouraging.
Thank you for normalizing this process, Kika. I've been knitting since March of this year and I currently have 7 projects on needles and I've only finished 4. I keep telling myself I have to finish something before I cast on something new, and I have a whole library full of patterns and yarn that I've purchased, but I rarely find the motivation to really see something through. I sincerely appreciate your willingness to show us your wip graveyard, and the reassurance you offer that this should be fun and exciting and cherished. It's OK to change your mind and go in a new direction and I'm grateful for the reminder.
Love, love, love your designs. Especially, the lace cardigan 😮. I also think your pattern writing is awesome. Very detailed but not too wordy. You are also, one of the only designers who has video support. It really shows, your love and enthusiasm for knitting.
I’m in middle of making two of your designs. The stripe hype dress and the salty days sweater. Your instructions are so easy to follow and your tutorial videos help immensely. Thank you so so much. ❤
HI, I found you yesterday while I was looking for inspiration..... Your knits are beautiful. I cannot decide which one to make first. I love your happy and down to earth personality. I watched your wedding dress video yesterday .... so real... Thank you so much for sharing your creativity and life ups and downs. Claudia
Thanks for sharing. Right now I'm working on the Nuffield Tie by Nadine Dransfield, except I am loom knitting it, instead of needle knitting it. I made a swatch, and, since it’s in linen stitch, I am adding a lifeline every ten or so rows. The rows of my acrylic swatch shrunk dramatically after washing and drying (in a net), and my stitches ended up being exactly half the number of the project swatch. It was some wild figuring, but it's going swimmingly, especially with little bits of red straw on every other peg, and a reminder on my alteration notes which ones I'm slipping in front and whichever ones I'm knitting. Linen stitch is so easy to mess up. I'm contemplating whether or not to add some cotton fabric, to go onto the back of the tie, sewing it onto the edges with the ladder stitch. I really like your yellow lace top, and I hope you make something of it. It's really very pretty.
love your realizations
What a great way to start dreaming about summer knitting!
I love the sleeveless pink sweater. Please, please do a pattern 😊
Beautiful items! I love that "abandoned" yellow one. It reminds me of a classic 1940's vest. Thanks for sharing.
The love letter top will be my favorite top as I live in hot Florida and rarely can wear my knits for long. I made Sailor swift and love it!
I honestly don't know how you get sooo much done. Love everything, especially the pale pink lacy sweater. We're going to be spoilt for choice when all the patterns are on the Web page. Thank you for all you do ❤
Hello Kika! It is so amazing to watch you create such beautiful and unique knitwear. Thank you for sharing your creative process with us. PLEASE finish the Honeymoon Cardi asap and publish the pattern…can’t wait to make one for myself❤
For someone who loves to knit, all these are a awesome dream! I adore you work and I expect your pattern . ❤
Love your tutorials, I often recommend your patterns and the video for my friends when I teach them to knit….. so nice they can watch and rewatch as they go…….we understand life happens and it very much is a balance of work and fun things you enjoy… never lose sight of the joy… hugs… will look forward to the new ones coming up. Lots of fun patterns this year ❤
Love your videos and positive attitude! I appreciate the sharing of your graveyard of unfinished projects. Let's face it, we all have them and like to ignore them. I am feeling inspired after watching you to work with my pandemic yarn I spun on lockdown and use it for a sweater. I have been feeling a bit stuck on a direction but now think I can dive in and enjoy it!
Merci beaucoup Audrey pour cette série! Bonne chance pour ton boulot! 😍
I love your videos, so inspiring and really motivate me to tackle those bigger projects that are a little intimidating
I think it's so impressive how you're able to channel all your creativity and vision into these garments! The Salty Days sweater is my sweater project for the fall and I'm so excited to start it! ❤

Love ,love your tutorial And your patterns thank you
I’m also looking forward to the wishbone sweater tutorial! Love the yellow top that wasn’t finished and that pink sweater towards the end is also gorgeous! Thank you for your tutorials they are so helpful!
This is a great video! Very excited about your upcoming projects. Thank you!
Love your knitting! All your knits are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing, and always love a tutorial 🥰
Wishbone sweater and love letter tops are my favorites. Thank you to share your ideas and how you create your knits.
I like everything you do!!!! Congratulations.
Your new cardigan looks wonderful... I can't wait for the pattern
Totally looking forward to the Wishbone tutorial! 👍🏻🎉🥰
Вы прелесть, Кика! И работы у Вас замечаиельные. Всех благ и удачи. Берегите себя ❤️
I’m still working in last winters project. I envy folks that have the time. Often after work I’m too tired to concentrate and in the weekends I have too many chores. I need to set a specific time and keep to it-hopefully by winter I can implement a schedule. Your work is so beautiful. And you have such lovely presentations. I’m a bit happy that you tell us when you have not finished a project or when they haven’t gone as planned .
All of these project are STUNNING! With the autumn approaching in looking forward to cozy evenings knitting! That wishbone sweater is my fave! I can’t wait to see it finished and can’t wait for the pattern!!!
Thank you for your videos! You make me smile so much! Keep doing what you are doing :)
I never comment on videos but I’m definitely looking forward to the wishbone sweater video 😊
Love all your sweaters your so talented
Beautiful projects!
So many pretty things. The summer tank tops look very fun and comfortable.
Yes! More cardigans, please!❤
Love the pink cardigan can’t wait to get the pattern and knit with you on KZread thank you for doing all the tutorials they’re very helpful
I cant wait for the pink cardigan pattern and the knit along 😊. I love love your video so much xx
The one shoulder top is sooooo nice! I really want to knit that myself 🥰
Really looking forward to the Darling Cardigan pattern!!
Beautiful collection ❤
Yes, and I'm the second person looking forward to the Wishbone tutorial! Get knitting Kika! LOVE all your videos.
I feel so much better that you too get distracted at end of a project! You have inspired me to concentrate on quality completion and making handmade rather than homemade!
I would love to try and knit the pink cardigan, it's so pretty!
Love all your projects! I think the yellow unfinished top is super cute and I will definitely be making the last pink sweater you showed when it will be complete. Just love it! 😊
Just started on a Salty days sweater, so nice to have the tutorial for it also! ❤
This was such a great video. Loved seeing all the pieces you’ve designed and also the ones you didn’t feel worked out. Love all your creativity so much. All the colors are so beautiful. Also wishbone sweater and tutorial ❤️
I am so happy you popped up on my feed this morning. It is very nice to "meet" you! I was hoping to find a new-to-me designer to try in 2024 and I am already shopping your patterns! Lots of love from the Pacific Northwest 🧡
I love your videos so much...thankyou for your lovely work. I'm working on the third Salty Days Sweater: first was for me, second for my mother, then my father saw them and said " I whish to have one"...now I've almost finished it in green...😊 It's such a nice and easy pattern...
Please make a pattern for the pink pullover. I love it so much
❤ Everything you make. I would love a video on yarns again. Thank you.
Yes please, more cardigans! ❤
Knitting the Sailor Swift Top, good tutorial , it makes the project more enjoyable and easier. Thankyou.
You have a lovely upbeat personality and I am delighted to have found your videos. I’m looking forward to your Darling Cardigan Sweater Pattern.
Love all your creations and tutorials to your are so special and generous women thanks you 🎉🎉🎉
I think you are the cat's meow! Your energy and vision comes across beautifully in your podcasts. You are the first podcaster that I found when I started knitting a year ago. I really appreciate your tutorials. As a left handed knitted who struggles with garment patterns, I am always looking to follow along a tutorial with the pattern. I am especially looking forward to the pattern for that pink cardigan since it looks like something I can tackle with my beginner level. Thank you so much- from sunny and hot, Florida, USA.
Ooooh I really want to knit the blush cardigan with the tie soooooo pretty
What a lovely collection! I’m looking forward to the cardigan 5mmm needle pattern - such a beautiful basic! ❤
I’m obsessed with the wishbone sweater. It’s top on my list to make for myself ❤
Thank you so so much great videos and I know you are busy but you are so generous
I love the yellow WIP! Hopefully inspiration strikes and it gets another shot 😊
Love this video!! So much fun. I'm DESPERATE for that borstet alpakka pink cardi tutorial!!
That cardigan is pretty cool! Can't wait for the pattern and tutorial
The last one is gorgeous 😍 I’m looking forward for the pattern
I’m the person 🙋♀️ waiting for your wishbone. In fact, I know several who would like it. We have a Kika fans Ravelry group and several of us were just discussing how we want to have a Wishbone KAL this fall and we are ALL wanting the tutorial. We love your designs and videos. And thanks for sharing your UFO’s. It’s good to know you’re not superhuman lol
Can’t wait for the pink cardigan pattern 😊
That unfinished yellow top has a really pretty pattern:)
Love that pink cardigan 😍 I don’t knit but I do crochet so I’m SO excited to see that tutorial for the drawstring bag! ❤
yeeeh a new video ! thank youuuuuuu 😍
Hello, thank you for your lovely podcasts, they’re a joy and so inspirational. I am looking forward to knitting your gorgeous Honey Cardigan and wondered if you do a tutorial for your crochet buttons? They’re so beautiful and I’d love to complete with them. Happy Knitting 🧶
I have 6 unfinished projects, and some date back 3 years. I really want to finish them, but also , I secretly wish someone would help me finish them, so I can move on, to new projects I have in mind..with nicer yarn 🧶 😅😬🤷🏻♀️. Your pieces are so neat and pretty ! 🙌🏻💕🌸💫
The wishbone one is gorgeous! I love it when cables run down into (or up into) ribbing. So I'm looking forward to that pattern! And the love letter lace top is fabulous. I've never knitted a summer top so that could be my first. I also love the last one - that shade of pink is beautiful! I love all of your knits - and the crocheted bag is lovely too!
Terve, Kika! I’ve got the Salty Days sweater on deck after I complete my holiday knitting :)
I am filling my queue with these e protects ❤ I do love your designs
Thank you! Love to see all the projects you are finished, working on and dreaming of! I have the Wishbone Sweater on my list for Fall/|Winter and I am happy to wait patiently for your Tutorial as I know it will make the knitting experience more enjoyable. You are a very prolific designer and it is very fun and interesting to see your design development you are doing great!
Hi! Please make a pattern for the pink summer top. It looks amazing!
Your volume of knits is incredible 🎉. The lace top and the stripe long dress is Beautiful. 🎉
I am currently finishing swatches for the Honey Cardigan and the Lazy Cat Cardigan. I love the Sailor Swift top. That's a definite for next year.
I'm working on a solid (Stripe) Hype Sweater in mustard! I don't have a big stash so I chose to make it in one solid color! I'm so excited for the Darling Cardigan too. I can't wait for it!! 😍
I’m looking forward to a wishbone tutorial! I especially need that colour/yarn comb ❤
For sure looking forward to a pink cardigan ! I’m a new knitters but really want to challenge my self to make some wearable project 😄
Love your sweaters. Seeing all those stripes makes me want to make a striped sweater. I'm in Australia so we're coming into spring right now and it has made me keen to make summer top. I made two sweaters this winter just gone and I have started a cardigan. However, I was sucked in by a cute summer top so now I knit that and the cardigan on alternate evenings. Hopefully the top won't take long though as it's quite thick cotton and knitted on 6mm needles. Yay.
Love everything you do 🩵
😍 those striped racer back tanks have my name written all over them! ughh sooo CUUTE
No pressure, but I‘d appreciate a Wishbone tutorial too! I’m not a beginner, but still not so experienced and it’s wonderful to be able to learn from an expert (and the designer herself, no less!). Lovely, lovely fun stripey tops…. And thanks for staying real and showing not everything you do is immediately „gold”!
I’m currently working on the Love Letter and I’m really enjoying it ❤
I am so looking forward to the Wishbone tutorial!! I am actually just now knitting my first textured garment. I wanted to knit the Wishbone as soon as I saw the pattern come out, but strayed away out of fear. I know a tutorial will make it much less daunting. Adore your designs and videos and wishing you well!
