Wool in the summer? | Performance reviews on my newest tops and Hobbii yarn

Thank you to Hobbii for gifting all the yarn featured in this video. Although the yarn was gifted, the yarn, colours, and pattern choices were my own.
Hang out with me as I provide a review of three Hobbii yarns and the garments I knit with them.

    I really love your honest assessments of things. Sometimes podcasters gloss over certain things in regards to yarn or patterns and I really like and appreciate your direct approach. I'm watching videos to determine if I want to try a yarn or pattern so having someone tell me the real deal is great! Thank you!

    The idea of doing a performance review for your knits is so fun! I was also all aboard the chartreuse yarn + cami no 9 train haha - it's such a fun joyful color and looks great on you! Thanks for this video!

    Thank you, Melissa, for another lovely episode of your knitting videos. I love all the tops you showed and the colors look great on you as well. The Mini Mock Neck is on my list too. I have never used Hobbii yarn and your review was very helpful. Best, Christine

    I love, love, LOVE your Camisole No 9. The color is exactly what I’ve been looking for (probably because as you mentioned, it’s trendy). I decided to pick up the Friends Cotton 8/4 in Olive and maybe I’ll be able to knit a Cami No 9. 😁

    Thank you! Cami 9 has been my favourite knit to wear. I can't wait to knit another.

    Hi Mel! I love how your Camisole turned out. I am currently working on mine! May I ask what kind of edge stitches you used on your Camisole Nr09? I cannot find any specifications on the pattern. I have used the one I know which basically leaves you with 1 edge stich for 2 rows. Now that I want to pick up stitches to form the neckline I noticed that that's not very smart haha. Did you just knit and purl the end stitches depending on the row you were in or is there a certain edge stitch that you used? :)

    Thanks! I didn't do anything special for the edges. I maintained stockinette stitch - started and ended with a knit stitch on the RS and purl on the WS.
