Q2 makes, Q3 plans, 2024 | late start to summer knitting, knit swap, and more

[@selfishknitter]

That was a great project swap! I have a love/hate relationship with colorwork. And fingering weight tops. 😂 Saddle shoulder construction looks interesting - looking forward to seeing that top grow. Great job with your sock knitting, too! 🙌

Love, love, love the idea of a knit swap! I have had a similar-ish idea rolling around in my head for a while where you and a friend each knit a shawl and swap it and then it’s like getting a hug from them every time you wear it. We shall see if it ever happens. 😅 So fun catching up with you on this stormy morning. ❤

[@balancedskein]

@KnitandGrace that's a wonderful idea! You should totally do it. And thank you for watching as always ❤️🤗

Okay, first of all, the knit swap is genius! I love your projects they are so beautiful. Good iob working through all the highs and lows!

Kendra, your work is simply lovely. I am impressed by the fabric of your socks as I am a loose knitter and have to work at getting my fabric that tight. The swap experiment was genius! I don´t like colorwork either, but I am trying to do a little every now and then on smaller projects so I can at least consider doing it in certain (bigger) projects. The Skyline Tee is off to a great start. It´s my plan to knit a couple of tees this summer, but I have a lot of gift knitting to do, and it might not happen. (But I am reckless - as you indicated you might be too 😃 - and might very well cast on a tee or two!) Hope you have a great time in Jamaica!

@@noelleparris9451 thanks so much for watching! Good luck with your summer tee projects ❤️

Hello Kendra! 👋🏾 Your projects look amazing. 🧶

@@QueensYarnBoutique thanks Roshelle!

Can’t believe how much progress you made on your skyline in just a day! The saddle shoulder construction can be quite addictive to work on. I also want to make the book club cardigan soon. It looks like such a fun knit

[@balancedskein]

@Goodknits_ yeah I was on a mission with the skyline tee 😅. I just finished it a couple days ago. It only took me 2.5 weeks 🤯. AND I'm casting on the book club cardigan today!

Knit swap is a great idea. I heard you say family vacation to Jamaica first week of July. Hope you were all okay through the hurricane.

[@balancedskein]

@@24567423ify we're OK, thanks for checking!

[@ateaseknitting]

love the idea of a knit swap!

[@miiwubful]

Ooohh! Did you do any yarn shopping on your Iceland trip?? Would love to see!

[@balancedskein]

@miiwubful lol and the throwover has 3-color colorwork, so there was no way 😅

[@angieanderson6082]

Any chance you’re looking for an extra sister? As if you didn’t already have my attention with all of your beautiful knits, you definitely have me at family vacation in Jamaica…😂. My family is getting together in Nebraska, and that’s just NOT the same. 😆

[@balancedskein]

@angieanderson6082 Yeah, maybe we can swap because I've never been to Nebraska! 🤣
