I’d love to see the pattern you’re talking about on the screen for a longer period of time. You choose awesome ones to look at 😊

Great video! Definitely added sone gorgeous patterns to my Ravelry queue! Glad to have found your podcast!

Check out Holst Garn Coast in Lavender for the muted rose color!! I just bought some and it's pretty similar - maybe a touch more purple than what you showed but it's a nice cool toned dusty mauve.

I think you could like the Sabai Top and the Elise scarf from Susanne Müller/Paula strickt

Such a great video!! These patterns are beautiful ❤

Regarding your rose colour. Maybe look at Scheepjes Catona 4 ply garden rose or cherry. It’s a cotton yarn.

Loving this inspiration, just did the Barbroe blouse version last winter and now knitting the ilana camisole in pure silk. Regarding the camisole no 10 in pure silk held double (I have the blouse no 1 in that combination)- I think it is quite thick and better for the Scandinavian summer (I live in Denmark). If you like that style of boat neck, but smaller gauge then I recommend 1) the Sabai top from Paulastrickt or 2) the always camisole from Garn of slikt. They are very similar to the cami no 10.

For your bag… maybe check out Joann’s new Eddie Bauer cotton … it’s sport weight I believe

Love your videos ✨ KFO is my local yarn shop and I just bought 4 balls of the blueberry ice cream. It is gorgeous! Knitting the Umbria Summer Top.

[@truesummerknits]

Thank you!! Ugh you don’t know how jealous I am, is that in Copenhagen?? Here in southern USA the closest yarn shop is 2 hours away and in another state, I bet y’all have the best options there!

[@ellemoelgaard]

Yeah, we are spoiled for yarn stores here in Copenhagen. KFO is only half a mile from my place. But it is quite cold here most og the year, so that’s probably why 😅

[@heatherr9201]

and maybe the berry color by bc garn called 41 ? In 100 percent linen

[@jessicagerretsen5500]

Thank you for the inspiration in this video ❤. You have definitely helped me find some fun patterns to want to knit this summer too 😅. I am currently working on the Home camisole by Caidree and am knitting it up in Cardiff cashmere classic in a beautiful dusty purple / grey color (number 710, Fuji). Your video accompanied me through almost 1 of the 4 triangles I need to knit, before joining in the round. Till next time. 💚 From the Netherlands

[@truesummerknits]

Of course thank you for watching!! I’d love to knit a bralette or something out of Cardiff cashmere, I bet that cami will be extremely cozy!! Glad I could assist ❤️❤️

I know you mentioned Drops is expensive to ship to you from their main website, but in case you didn't know already there is an alternative website! Woolwarehouse has all of Drops and ships to the USA for like around $5 (at least to Florida from the UK).

[@truesummerknits]

I literally did not know that! I had heard of that website before, not sure why I only bought from garn studio! I’m close to you over in MS so I’m sure it would be the same. Thank you!!

[@Maria-mg1yv]

@@truesummerknits You can also go to find a store in their website a find a store near you.

[@Ekaete_23]

Great video ❤. Regarding medium deep rose color, I think holst garn might have something close to what you’re looking for in their blended fiber yarns.

[@chairenn]

Ahh I've been looking forward to you making a video about summer tops! Loving how this is a mix of smaller and bigger designers, giving me some new ideas too 😗 And funny thing, I've had the Strawberry Fields pattern in my Ravelry favourites for at least 2 years and I finally bought it a couple of weeks ago lol. As a soft autumn, I'm not sure what to think about the new KFO Cotton Merino colour range..! I think it skews very cool toned, but that is obviously good for you though. I picked up some of the Soft Blue, it's cool but muted enough that I can probably pull it off (I'm juuust on the warmer side of neutral).

[@KnittingByTheBay]

Thanks for the inspiration!! I'm excited to try the new KFO blueberry ice cream!! 🫐 I also LOVE your lipstick color... would you share what brand/color it is? Thanks!!

[@truesummerknits]

Of course, I’m so excited to get it in the mail too! I also got Japanese Anemone and Dusty Banana. And thanks! It’s maybeline ink crayon in the shade Pave the Road!

[@KnittingByTheBay]

@@truesummerknits I was eyeing the Japanese Anemone too! Finally a cool pink! And thanks! The shade looks perfect on you! I think it will suit me too ☺️

[@SamanthaMerwin]

I think Purl Soho Cotton Pure might have the color you're looking for for the Ilana camisole. It's closer to sportweight but the Drops Safran the green sample is in is sportweight too so I think it would work.
