Grab it here: subscribepage.io/bq6dvO Summer is slowly coming to an end, and in this video I’m sharing everything I’ve knitted this summer — plus the lessons I’ve learned along the way. From breezy cotton tees and hand-dyed socks to a vintage-inspired dress and even a bag made with 100% paper yarn, it’s been a season full of creativity, experiments, and a few challenges too. In this knitting podcast–style update, I talk about the projects I finished, the ones that are still works in progress, and what each of them taught me about fit, yarn choices, and enjoying the process. Whether you’re looking for knitting inspiration for summer, curious about natural yarn dyeing, or simply enjoy cozy knitting podcasts, I hope you’ll enjoy this chatty update. I hope you enjoy!
