Summer Knitting ~ What I'm Loving + Knitting this Summer


I've been traveling, collecting inspiration, and dreaming up new sweaters... and if you enjoy knitting rabbit holes, this week's video is 100% for you. I'm back on YouTube with a cozy knitting catch-up and, fair warning, I'm fully geeking out over what's on my needles right now!

 

In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of a brand new fall design that's starting to take shape, share the many KaleidoWave WIPs swirling around in my brain, and show my almost-finished Sheep Camp Sweater (which I'm very excited about!).

 

I also unpack a few knitting treasures I picked up during my recent Colorado travels. These videos feel a bit like sitting down with a knitting friend over coffee, and they're becoming one of my favorite things to make. I'd love to hear what's currently taking up space in your knitting brain and what kinds of videos you'd like to see more of in the future. Leave me a comment or shoot me an email to let me know :)
