I am knitting on my retreat shawl in a gifted yarn (I got a whole parcel this week, one of those "oh, you knit? can I send you some yarn that I don't need anymore?" kind of things). I decided I'm done knitting and sewing summer clothes and accessoires, I am in autumn mode (I'm in Germany, summer is fizzling out), so I bookmarked the colourwork jumper you're knitting. I organized most of my yarns these last days and thinking and planning while I'm knitting on this shawl and watching knitting podcasts.

Gifted yarn! How fun! Sounds like you are fully transitioning to fall knitting. I’m getting there, but not quite. Another week or two and I will be fully fall focused.

Oh yes, excellent distinction between dream knitting and knitting plans. I like that. My dream knit list is miles long, but I have found that if I don’t cast it on soon, it’s often just not likely to happen. I LUV the Sailor Swift tank…. So utterly cute and Knitting for Olive pure silk is my ultimate summer favorite. I am desperately trying to finish my Kuutar top before summer ends in Berlin. However, on 3mm needles and no more holiday time left and the light in the evening now fading earlier…..😢. We will see. Would love to hear your knitting plans…. The sneak peak at that one dress in the magazine ❤ drool worthy.

Good morning Lisa, love to watch both your knitting and sewing videos. Wishing I had your ambition and speed in your makes but unfortunately, I am slow at both. I am currently knitting a Sharing Creativity cowl by Pamela Kay out of sock yarn from Polka Dot Creek (Alberta) in colour Canada Day 2020. Loving the colour and the way it is knitting but this sock yarn is very thin so the process is slow. I am almost finished. I also just finished a Getting Warmer cowl from Espacetricot out of a Mary Maxim chunky (bought at a yard sale for $1). Love that cowl and have knit it a couple of times since seeing your video on it a few years back. Take care and look forward to your next video.

I love all the things you knit (and sew too). They are always gorgeous. I'm jealous of the fact that you and the girls can share cclothing my mom and I used to do that. She passed away 20 years ago, and I still have some of her things that I wear. I only have a son, so usually they don't want to share clothing or twin with Mom. Especially when they are 36. 😂 Right now I'm trying to quickly finish up a test knit for Knitty McPurly called the Diggory Tee. It's a simple tee with cap sleeves, and I love it. Mine is in white because that's what I need in my wardrobe at the moment. Usually I make bright autumnal colours or colour gradients, speckles, etc. So white is out of the ordinary for me. I'm using baby yarn, so its so soft and drapey. I have about 40 WIPS that I'm dying to work on but this one has to be done in a week.
