Fall is in the air this weekend and we’re ready for it with all the striped sweaters 🍂🧶

We’ve been seeing so many good striped sweater patterns lately, so we pulled together a few that caught our eye. Some that were new to us!

There’s something about stripes that makes picking out colors almost as fun as the knitting itself 😍

Have you ever found yourself spending endless hours knitting on something only to realize you have no idea how to wear it? 🙋🏽‍♀️

I’ve only been exclusively wearing this tee with white pants so I hit up @pinterest for some outfit inspo. My style is pretty basic so I was happy to find some outfits I thought looked cool while still being comfy and attainable. Also I might be coming around to red and green being an acceptable color combo outside of the holidays 👀

Today was cool enough to wear my sweet tart tee by @uandiknit, and I have some thoughts on the @rowanyarns cotton trio I used to knit it in (yarn gifted ❤️)

First off, it’s enjoyable to knit at a loose gauge. I was exclusively working on it for the first 2 weeks and got 0 hand cramps. Out of the 7 balls that I used, only one had a singular factory knot in it. I also hand washed it in hot water with no dye bleeding!

Sometimes cotton yarns can look a bit lumpy and holey, but I think the 16% wool & alpaca content helps fill in those gaps. You can’t see it on camera, but there is a slight halo to the top. The con of this is it does make it a bit of a warmer garment— I tried wearing it on the 4th and was sweating in it.

But today it’s in the 70s (still with 80% humidity), and the top is perfect for the weather 👌🏽

Ps check out the teensy apple button (a secondhand @gemmafabrics find) I sewed on instead of making I-cord closures for the neckline 🍎

The theme of this week’s #WIPWednesday is cleaning out the WIP graveyard! I brought back a quilting project from 16 months ago that I hope to finish this summer. I also found my sock knitting mojo after two months, only to make a mistake that will require frogging all my progress of the week 🥲

Just a girl who loves an heirloom tomato 🍅

Italy had the juiciest, yummiest tomatoes, and the ones I ate in Bologna were an absolute favorite. Naturally my first cast on post trip was subconsciously inspired by the deliciousness of a perfectly ripe tomato !!

🍭 Twinning at Rabbit Row! 🍭
When Lynn saw our shop sample of the Sweet Tart summer tee, it was love at first sight! And now we’re officially twinning! 👯‍♀️✨

It’s fun to see how different the same pattern can look with just a change of contrast yarn. Check out our palettes:

Lynn’s Version: Dark Sea Yarns (MC) + Meg’s and Co (CC) 🧶

My Version: Dark Sea Yarns (MC) + Feederbrook Farm (CC) 🐑

This pattern by UandIKnit is the ultimate summer knit—Come by the shop to see it in person and pick out your own “Sweet Tart” combo! 🍬🧶

🧶 A new series has begun! 🧶

Today I’ve uploaded the first video in a new series where we’re going to knit a summer top together step by step.

The pattern I’m using is the Eclipse Top by Josée Paquin, which I’ve actually knitted twice before and absolutely love. In this first episode we look at the two versions I’ve already made, talk about yarn choices, and start the swatching process before casting on.

This series is designed for knitters who already know the basics (knit, purl, cast on and cast off) and would like to try their first knitted garment.

Next time we’ll check the gauge and cast on the top 🧶

If you fancy knitting along, the video is up on my YouTube channel now 💛
