Hi. I enjoyed you talking about the tolsta tank test knit. I’m also doing this test knit and am almost finished. I’m about to pick up the stitches for the edging. I’m doing the fingering weight square neck in a size 8. Taking forever!
For the folded part a on the tolsa tank you should try knitting the inside folded part a little tighter. Think of it as a lining, you want it to be just a few mm smaller than out the outside as the inside circumference is difference. I don’t think I explained that well but hopefully you know what I mean. I have been on a folded hem kick lately and loving the look for summer tees. Ribbing just makes them look too sweatery in my opinion.
No you totally make sense! If I didn’t have to take out the whole straps to do that I would haha. But I’ll definitely keep that in mind for next time. Maybe going down a needle size on only the inside would do it? And I totally agree! Folded hem gives it such a polished look!
@@birchandlily if you have half sizes going down half a needle size might work. I’ve done it with a 3mm when the rest is knit with a 4mm and it was too much. But that was for the whole hem of a sweater, might work ok for a smaller distance.
GM Amanda I love your tank top you’re wearing and the colour All your knits are gorgeous and your tank that you’re knitting from the cone will be your colour for sure lovely !!! See you soon and a great weekend to come 😊🥰
That's so funny, I was just thinking the same thing except I was thinking I had a lot of waffle Henley tops during & after college 😂 I'm 53 and have always lived in the US so for me that was the 90's lol 💙
What summer knits are you working on right now?
Summer Ranunculus with Tynn Line and Collett tee with Duo 😊
Cardi Jumper version 2. And a slightly sassy v neck tshirt.
Hi!! I'm working on the Summer League cutoff by two of wands and I just started a crochet top😊

Ahh fun! You’re brave to do the fingering weight lol. But I’m sure it looks gorgeous!

This was worth the wait. I think that elastic thread fixes a lot of things!!! Anxious to see your Market Henley finished. Have a good week Amanda❤
Thank you so much! 💜
Those greens you've chosen recently are so beautiful, they suit you really well! Also, love that Skye sweater! It looks so cosy!
Awe thank you so much!

They were sooo comfy!
I am worried about your Tolsta Tank.When you were holding it up, it looked like there was a slipped stitch right in the front?!?!!!
Ahh don’t worry! It was just where I added in new yarn! I just hadn’t wove in ends yet. 🥰
@@birchandlily oh thank goodness! 😅
Fun fact, knitting was used for soldiers who had PTSD after the second word war to help calm them. Thanks for sharing 👩🌾🐑
I can totally see why! That’s amazing. Thank you for sharing! 🥰
