Missed you live but you are single-handedly getting me interested in summer knitting

So glad to hear it!!!

I'm a big fan of Elizabeth Smith designs so it was nice to see her featured in your lovely choices. Currently knitting her Cruel Summer.

I’ve said it before but I appreciate that you share patterns and designers that we don’t see on every other channel. Add several of the ones you featured to my favorites. Thanks!

I've day dreamed about the padron since last summer - - once I clear these WIPs that's next on my needles!!! 😊

[@marysheridan7104]

I really liked the Sabai so classy! Thanks for the chart!

I'm a newer knitter and I look for patterns without complicated construction methods and simple knitting patterns. TFS

[@CrazyForEwe]

Absolutely- I think a lot of newer knitters shy away from sweaters that are knit bottom up and seamed, but top down in-the-round sweaters often have much more complicated construction requirements

[@janaedge1005]

I love the Sabai and Petrie, they are so simple and can carry well year to year. They are all cute, those two were just my favorite.

[@CrazyForEwe]

Yes me too!!!

As a man, I appreciate and was wondering if a women's sweater can also become a man's sweater, maybe color change or so, but is that possible to use a women's pattern for a man? Thank You and I know the ? sounds stupid

[@CrazyForEwe]

Hey, that doesn’t sound stupid at all. A sweater is a sweater, and I don’t think anything makes a garment inherently masculine or feminine. You just want to choose the style that suits you and the fit you like. Start with a dropped shoulder design. They tend to be very flattering on the square shoulders of a man’s build. My advice is always to measure a sweater that fits you the way you like it and choose the size that’s closest to that measurement. With the extended size range available in most patterns, you shouldn’t have a problem finding a size to fit. Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to comment and reach out 😊
