Jodie I can’t wait to hear about your glove knitting journey. I noticed some time ago that I’ve hardly seen anyone make them, knitters typically opt for mittens but I want to see some gloves! 😊

A few months of warm weather is a nice break from winter but I’m definitely missing getting to wear most of my knits. I’ll have a deeper appreciation for them this winter.

Let the glove knitting adventure begin! I'm trying to remember where I put my small diameter needles but in the meantime I'm searching for beginner glove knitting patterns. Are you knitting items for your summer wardrobe?

I knit a t shirt but I don’t see summer knitting becoming a “thing” for me since I don’t wear many tanks/camisoles. I’ll be knitting of course but it’ll still be sweaters for the colder months. Sewing for the summer serves me much better.

The combination of sewing and knitting sounds fab! :)

Such a joyful post Jodie! I too feel very grateful to pull out my handknits when the cold season rolls around. Your yarn choices are so delectable. Love the look of honeycomb stitches. The thumbs in mitts can be fiddly but they also get done quickly as they are only a few rounds of knitting usually. If you decide to knit a pair, check out The Chilly Dog’s tutorial about picking up thumb stitches. It’s fantastic. Thank you for attributing ‘whelm’ to me. I was listening to the post and it was a nice surprise to hear my name called. 🤗♥️

Thanks so much for your kind praise as always :) I'll be sure to check out your recommendation for The Chilly Dog's tutorial. When I read you were listening to my post I was intrigued! I didn't realise that was a feature of the app. Very useful when you want to knit and catch up with your favorite writers! :)
