It's really useful to hear what works and doesn't work for you in finished objects!

[@cloknits]

I like knowing what works for others too.

[@MsFuzzyBuddy]

I love this type of chit chatty video. It's good to hear what you like and don't like in a summer top. It's fun :)

[@cloknits]

I like to talk without a script, I'm happy some people like to listen!

[@karenalbery2773]

Seeing what people have knit that they actually wear and use is super helpful. Especially to newer knitters like myself. None of my finished items have been around long enough for me to know how they hold up and what knits do over time and if i will continue to enjoy them or not

[@cloknits]

I like knowing what people actually wear too!

[@jillyb9995]

Everything looks great on you. You're so lovely and slim, you're a clothes horse😊 I couldn't wear any of those tops, they just wouldn't suit my figure, but I like the designs very much. A fail video would be great. There aren't enough of those.

[@cloknits]

Thank you, I think feeling confident in your body helps make the clothes shine. I sometimes wish I had a big more boobs to fill those tops but, that's life! I'll see about a fail video, after I said it I realized I don't have many summer fails actually!

[@krystler7703]

I like this type of video because we get to see items you've actually made and wear. I prefer to hear about garments that people have made because I want to know if you like them, if you wear them, what you'd do different, etc. To me that's more valuable than the "patterns for summer" style videos where the KZbinr hasn't actually seen or tried the patterns. Hopefully that makes sense lol I also really enjoy videos talking about pattern modifications: how, when, why, what, etc. I feel like following a pattern isn't too difficult, but learning about pattern modification takes a garment to the next level of knitting or crochet

[@cloknits]

Thank you for your suggestions! I will keep that in mind.

[@LeviTheCutest]

i really like this type of video. you have great taste and you inspired me to knit the darjeeling top and i love it soo much!

[@cloknits]

Yay! I'm glad you have a new top to wear!

[@nicolelafontaine1720]

So sorry about your toe, get well soon !!! Thanks for all the summer inspiration !!! My favorite summer top is "Mallorca Top" by Alena Malevitch, A line with a bit of lace, knitted in Trailhead Yarns and Fibre Fundy Tide, a blend of 55% Cotton and 45% Linen.

[@cloknits]

That sounds lovely.

[@LottaSocks]

Ya know… I knit and crochet, and I’m starting to see a lot of crochet summer tops lately! I’d make a camisole/bralette style. Crochet (to me) can be so versatile, once you learn what sts to use & how best to use them. I’ve been going thru some old (very old…1980 +/-) magazines/patterns picked up from thrift shops or ???, and there’s a few lace-y tops. I will study them a little more & will modify to suit me, my size etc. Annnnd, crochet uses more yarn than knitting, so I can use more from stash!! I’m interested in cotton/linen or plant fibers for summer knits. Thanks for giving me crochet camisole ideas!

[@cloknits]

Thank you for sharing. I love my new crochet top!

[@Knittersvision]

Great to see your experience in summer tops. I am knitting my first summer tank - Ballard vest by Sari Nordlund.... Happy knitting 🤗

[@cloknits]

Sari Nordlund has so many beautiful summer patterns! Thanks for reminding me.

[@alyvincent5984]

I like this sort of video, thanks, especially as I haven't seen some of the designs before. A fail video would be fun too, thanks.

[@cloknits]

I like showing some that aren't the top 10 designers we always see online.

[@kno1ok]

This was fun to watch! I don't think I will knit summer garments--it's just too hot where I live. I was just looking at raffia hats, though, so maybe I'll crochet one of those.

[@cloknits]

I really want to try my hands at raffia hats! I think it would be so much fun.

[@tiateri541]

Really enjoyed this! Now that I’ve retired, I’m the coldest parts of winter in a warmer climate, so I need to make more spring/summer tops. Thanks for all the ideas.

[@cloknits]

It's a nice addition to the wardrobe. I love that I can wear my handmade knits year round.

[@marymagicbox9122]

Ranunculus is the one I love in summer ❤thanks for your nice video ❤❤❤

[@cloknits]

It's such an easy one to wear!

[@dominiquejoly5290]

Très intéressant !

[@cloknits]

Merci!

[@kathrynbarry3059]

Really enjoyed this episode, your knits are really well done 👍🏻 ❤

[@cloknits]

Thank you!

[@user-bo7mn7iz5e]

I wonder what your profession is, too personal a question?

[@cloknits]

I'm actually a full time knitting teacher. My time is mainly spent filming knitting tutorials for my french and english channel, and full knitting courses that are on my website (french only for now but i'm hoping to get english ones up soon). I also wrote a french knitting book that was released this year. I'm so proud to say that knitting is my profession.

[@user-bo7mn7iz5e]

Wow! I didn’t know that knitting could be a profession! Thanks for your reply! I need to ask you about knitting questions in the future.
