[@nata6025]

that gas station story was AWKWARD, so glad you have people to show your finished objects though lol, even if they don't think before they speak 😄

kfo blueberry icecream is getting me 💟 I was looking at that color for so long but kind of afraid to introduce it in my wardrobe. Now after your video I ll def do a whole sweater in this color probably 😍 wonderful podcast, I really enjoy your videos and the way you pick the colors. I am also very complicated with colors, but it feels so good when I find the right one! Looking forward to your designs as well, its such a creative engaging prosess.

Beautiful Barbroe Top! It's so encouraging to hear of other knitters in Mississippi. I'm originally from central MS, now in north MS. It's a deliberate hobby in this climate. 🙂

Thank you! I agree, I don’t know any knitters down here! I live on the coast so it’s extra hot and humid right now lol, I definitely have to be super intentional with patterns/fibers/how I’m going to wear my items. So jealous of all the cold climate knitters who get to knit sweaters for most of the year!

oMG I'm knitting the ilana camisole in the SAME yarn and SAME colour 😝 such a goooorgeous colour! I also have the same issue with the gauge and I couldn't figure something out for the life of me, so I'm going ahead with knitting the S and crossing my fingers (I also have zero skills in knit modifications)...worse comes to worse...I'll frog 🐸🤣

The barbroe top is absolutely beautiful! About the SSK vs. SKPO, when I knit sleeves, I usually choose to use the SKPO instead of SSK because I think it looks a little neater, but I find they have the same effect. They lean the same way, so I can’t imagine it would affect lace to choose one over the other?

[@truesummerknits]

Okay that’s good to know actually, I might experiment with that in sleeves bc I have noticed that SSK is visible and k2tog usually isn’t! Thanks for sharing :)

[@truesummerknits]

Gorgeous top! I recently bought the Knitting for Olive book...looking forward to knitting from it!

[@truesummerknits]

They really have some of the best lace patterns! There are some sweaters I really like from them but can’t really justify knitting a sweater until November here lol
