My 2025 Summer Knitting Plans Revealed

Can I finish all of this by September? In today’s video, I’m sharing my summer knitting plans — from lightweight tees and socks to a handspun sweater and a long-lingering WIP. You'll see a mix of patterns I’ve already started, ones I’m still deciding on, and some yarns I’ve dyed myself using natural dyes. I also share some favorite cotton and linen blends for summer, and my thoughts on knitting with plant-based fibers. And in addition, there is also a giveaway featuring the talented Chilean knitwear designer Paulina Castell. If you want to win one of her patterns, all you have to do is leave a comment, letting me know which of her knitting patterns you would like to win. Here is a link to her pattern portfolio: https://www.ravelry.com/designers/paulina-castell Discover the joy of slowing down and creating your own colors from nature.
