The two of you are just so creative, not only with knitting but the sewing, the weaving, it's tremendous! I think I'm the only person in knitland who just can't stand those little scarves 🤣 More for the rest of you. Working on a nice big shawl as I watch. Happy summer knitting!

Great idea!! Perfect start to the day!
Another great episode to keep me company as I knit on my Artus shawl. It is huge and probably not the thing to knit when the temperature in North Carolin is hovering in the mid 90s but I want it off my needles so that I can work on a few summer tops. Your tops look great! This seems to be the time for Sandnes Garn Line. I made the Rota top using it, and I love the yarn and the sweater. I am going to try to make another Rota with just the cabling on the sides with either Line in blue or lime green. I also have black yarn for a Tolsta tee. Oh, and, now that my sewing machine is back from the shop, I have sewing to do. So many things to knit and sew, but so little time. Happy making!

Hi Delores, I am really enjoying my Rota top, I can easily see making another one.
Kelly, your bra was very pretty and it was adorable watching you blush. Noelle I love that light green used to knit your sweater. That sweater is one of my favorites.

You two are amazing! I wanted to make you aware, in case you didn’t already know, that Paton has a linen/cotton blend. It comes in 100 gram skeins. I live in the U.S. and paid $5.99 for 1 skein on Joann’s website. Take care! Cindy

I am watching after the live for the first time after the event and enjoying the chat just as much as ever. Kelly, a bra is just a swimming suit top. No worries! Noelle, how long are your threads when you warp up your loom to get the three tea towels? I have the same loom and I am always guessing which I don't like. Love all your projects and tips and tricks. Stay cool!

I use a warp of 117” The towels are 30 inches plus 1 1/2 in on each end for the hem so 33 inches each then an inch between and the rest for the tie on. hope this helps

Loved the travel vlog Kelly so keep those coming! Great job on your dress too - i was wondering if Thread and Sprout was your inspiration. I follow her too - just a whimsical designer! Love all your knits Noelle - that Rota top has been in my wish list since it was published. Looks gorgeous on you as does the one you are wearing. Thanks as always! :)

Thanks Beth, the Rota top is a great knit and perfect for this time of year. I purchased some Antigone this week and can’t wait to try it. All your garments knit with it look amazing.

I am really enjoying it Brenda, thanks so much for the pattern ❤️
Very fun to watch you ladies! I can't always make a Tuesday but I watch later. The tank Noelle is working on reminds me of something I struggle with. I see that many popular tees and tanks are knit in the round with front & back portions knit flat. With plant fiber yarns, I see a distinct line when I do this because of my gauge difference in the round vs flat. I usually change needle sizes to minimize this but sometimes I can only get close to matching my gauge so I can still see a line where the fabric changes. Patterns usually just mention 1 needle size so I'm curious what your experience is.
@KnitsnPieces

Thanks Evelyn. I usually don’t see a difference in gauge when switching from in the round to flat and continue with the same needle size. I will bring this up on the next knitchat and see if others have any suggestions
Love the longer podcasts!!!
Kelly I love the neutrals 😅 I've been tempted by those tiny scarfs but haven't taken the plunge yet 😊

There's quite a jump in the video at 33:08. I was waiting to hear more about Kelly knitting the Melody sweater (other than the suggestions about alternate yarns), but the video suddenly jumped to Noelle's sweater discussion.

Don't worry, Kelly. A braw looks no different from a bikini top, and no one is concerned that their bikini top is seen. Besides, at least you wear a pretty bra. If I flashed mine, people would be appalled. It's old and badly stretched out of shape. Lol.
