I looove that boat neck top (as you already know bc i’ve been fangirling over it for ages hahah)! I’ve literally just ordered the needles for it because i’ve not knitted anything on 2.75mm before, but i cannot wait! I’m really intrigued by the Mystery 101 - i’ve not heard about it before but it really seems up my alley. Really enjoyed this podcast, as usual!!

This is a beautiful top! I like how you explain the construction and reasons why you've chosen to do particular things in the design.

@@KathleenSalt-g7g thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it :)

I think you’d look great in a white top and it would be great for the tutorial. I’m sure Knitting for Olive has a great true summer white. 😊

@@champagneknits9333 limestone is perfect but I realized my second cast on I had been knitting on the wrong size needles 🙄 so I think blueberry ice cream will be the one filmed!

Thank you for another great episode! Your Basic boat neck tank looks so good. A great wardrobe staple! I love the mystery 101 series too! Have a great week!

[@truesummerknits]

@@mynorthknitcorner have you finished mystery 101? My husband and I finished it last night and if you haven’t seen it just skip the last 5 minutes 🥲 thank you for the nice words!

Ha ha ha I had such a laugh with your jokes, they really make you stand out as a podcaster. You can be very proud, it's a big achievement designing a garment! And I would love to help you with this testknit, but am leaving for a summer holiday in a week. Will be back end of august. If this is workable, timing wise, let me know! I'm guessing I'd apply for a size M. Oh and color advise, well what would you think of the merino in unicorn purple, lavender blue or pearl grey? Fennel seed seems fun too, but I have no idea what this color would look like in real life. Ice blue is also beautiful but might be too 'bright' for you? OMG I really need to see the limestone color! It sounds like the perfect neutral color!!

[@truesummerknits]

@@jessicagerretsen5500 limestone is so perfect!! I definitely will be showing it off in the next ep, it’s so beautiful I really can’t decide what to knit with it!! Thank you so much btw, I’m glad my jokes are appreciated ❤️❤️

If you didnt get enough plus size testers Im generally a 2-3xl and down to hop on a couple days late as I have suitable yarn. I have a 54" bust.
