The Jungle Cowl is amazing, Tamara! ❤

Thank you! It's been fun for sure!!

Your Jungle Doodle cowl looks like so much fun to knit! The Petal Party Crop also looks beautiful. A fall version is a great idea. Happy retirement to your mom! I hope this week has been better for your son. Transitions are so hard.

Thank you! Unfortunately this week has been rough too but summer school starts soon so hopefully that will help

Your Jungle Doodle Cowl is fantastic!

I love the top you’re wearing!!! It’s so pretty! Maybe I should start to listen to ZA again.

[@caffeinatedcraftmamaspodca6707]

I say yes so we can talk about it lol

I’m trying to wait until the start of summer for us, but ACOTAR is staring at me so hard. I’ll either cave, or be reading it on Sunday. 🤞 I also hate summer- well the heat. If I can be in a pool the whole time, I’m good. Just out and sweating- no thank you. 🥴

[@caffeinatedcraftmamaspodca6707]

Right! Me too! I just haven't figured out how to knit at the pool yet haha my kids splash too much! I can't wait for you to start the series either way! Text me whenever you want to dish about them!

Beautiful top!! I agree I hate summer. Too hot. I've a similar thing. My granddaughter is living with us. She'll be in 1st grade. A very volatile child. Been through too much. I haven't knitted anything since she and her brother who was 2wks old came to live with us in January.

[@caffeinatedcraftmamaspodca6707]

Wow, thats a lot! I am sure you will have some time to knit and relax soon! I am definitely sending prayers and positive vibes your way!

[@teresayoung4145]

Thank you!!

heyyy love your jungle doodle cowl, it's incredible and lovely to look at. i wonder if you know the name or how to do that picking up floats with a crochet hook you mentioned? I've been trying to look for a technique like that but can't find anything like it.

[@caffeinatedcraftmamaspodca6707]

Thank you! I actually don't know what the technique is a called......i saw it on an Instagram short that wasn't in English and thought i would try it. There are a lot of great videos about catching floats on here though, the very pink knits one is where I started.
