Que de beaux pulls dans une même vidéo! J'aime tout ce que vous faite ainsi que vos choix de fibres naturelles mélangées et l'association de vos couleurs ,je retiendrai vos conseils . Bravo prenez soin de vous.😊
Fun to see this little trip down memory lane! A favorite summer yarn of mine is Lindy Chain by Knitpicks. It’s a 70% linen 30% Pima cotton chainette. Kind enough to the budget, good service and easy to wear in warm weather ❤
I have a pure cotton yarn I have purchased. I wonder if I could add a light linen as an extra strand and get gauge for worsted. It is a sport weight yarn. I have not found pattern for guage I get in swatch and linen may add structure. Can't wait to hear what patterns you choose.
I’m laughing to myself, every time you cut and come back, imagining you screaming at your family that you’re podcasting. I appreciate that you can keep going!
Aww dear Selma, I was ever so flattered to see my yarn in your top summer knits! Thank you so very much for the mention! 😊I gives me so much pleasure to hear you have enjoyed the yarn so much!❤❤❤
Hi Selma, you shared your skirt recipe and I love it and made 2 skirts for my sister. You mentioned that you would be willing to write up a top recipe. I encourage you ….please!!!i would be happy to rest knit if needed. Karen from Gaithersburg, md. I really enjoy you podcast and happy to know that you are friends with….knitting stew and knitting your way back home…..my fav three
I would love the "recipe" for tee knitting. I am starting a "Tolsta Tee" class on Monday. That will be my first summer cast on. I also have the "Corran Cardigan" in my line up for this summer. Love your tees! 😁🧶❤
Thanks for an enjoyable episode,Selma🙏Always interesting to look back at what we gravitate towards of our own knits and learn what works and doesn't work.I am being more mindful of my personal makes and genuine needs..trying not to get up in all the pretty designs that seem to come out daily. You are a wealth of knowledge.Hope you have a lovely day and week.♥️👋🐨🌏xx
Hola Selma! I would love for you to write down your 'recipe' for sweater/tops. You are so good at your craft & as a newbie that would help me greatly. Gracias!❤
Wld love your recipe for the summer top. Am just starting to think of how to use quite a bit of stash summer yarns! Your tops are both lovely, even the white. You might try a light bleach to brighten it as both cotton and linen will take the bleach. Worth the try rather than discarding.
Hi Selma, great catch up. Lots of inspo!! I too am knitting summer and winter items in tandem. Seems like we only have 2 seasons here in Alberta now - summer and winter 😂. Look forward to seeing you next time and very curious to hear what happened with the Nutiden 🤔 Bye for now 👋🏼
Hello, Selma. Love, love your podcasts. Thank you. I would love for you to share your "recipe" for knitting tops. The Acker tops are on my "to do list" , but would like your suggestions on how to add back neck height using German Short Rows.
I'm on the same page as you with the vellichor! I had swatched once but didn't cast on. Material for a KAL, perhaps? For motivation purposes? I have a bunch of Holst garn coast I was thinking of using for that one. ETA: I'm in Nova Scotia and I know what you mean, we have an even shorter summer here. But it's so beautiful!
The Lamana knitted a bit longer in the lavendar colour silk yarn would look lovely. The Siesta Tee would be nice in the darker blue or bright pink. The Andrea Mowry perhaps in the burnt orange. But not a fan of that style. The Anka Tee would be nicer. I will have to knit the Corran. The colour reminds me of a lace cardigan I knitted in my 20s for my mother who has long gone for 30 years.
Selma, have you seen that Rebecca is planning to release a summer Tolsta? I am waiting for that pattern as there are a couple of versions that I can see knitting for summer and layering pcs for Spring and Fall. I really like the Peacock tee that you showed so may be adding that to my plans.
Thanks a lot for giving such great summer knit inspirations. Great stuff. Have to find out, if there are some of them in German. I am not used to knit English pattern.
I would love your recipe if you do decide to share! Every time I watch you, I realize how much I still have to learn! Thank you so much for your insight and your ideas!
If you didn't want to wash your katia concept top asks any other plant fibre garment as much Selma, you could always spray with water and put it in the dryer for a few minutes at a time. I find if you watch it closely, the garment springs back into shape quickly without shrinking.
Thanks for all the summer knits inspiration Selma 🤗 I often find myself knitting all types of pieces (e.g. winter, fall, spring & summer projects) all year round. Although, on the really hot and humid days of summer, I definitely gravitate towards knitting with plant fibres. Can't wait to see which tops you end up making! 💕
Oh so many beautiful patterns and yarns. I'm excited to see what you'll choose! It's lovely that your wrist is healing so that you can indulge your hobby without pain. I enjoy cotton in a small diameter and make a lot of facecloths in pure white so that I can bleach them - It's a great way to try new stitches and sometimes that's all I can manage to finish. Happy Monday.
Thanks, Selma for sharing your summer plans..they are all great and I was particularly drawn to the Agave..looks like a fun knit. I love the color of your Corran cardigan...looks so great on you. Happy Spring to you and thanks for sharing!
This episode was jam packed with beautiful summer knitting! Would you believe I have attempted to knit myself a pullover but it’s still a wip. So through a Vogue pattern book for beginners I have started a basic garter stitch cardigan. It’s being made with super bulky yarn in green and red stripes. Hah! I’d say it’s a Christmas cardigan being knit in July. I hope to get it off the needles and maybe I can attempt a summer top. Thank you for the valuable information you share. I appreciate you. ❤ StitchedbyMimi
Hi Selma, such beautiful knits! Is the Butterfly yarn the EL.D. Mouzakis Butterfly Super-10 by any chance? I used to be able to buy that at The Mill End Store in Milwaukie, Oregon years ago but now I can’t find it. Such gorgeous yarn and so nice to work with. 🌷🪻🌸🌻🌹
I honestly haven't knit any summer tops Eeks ! So many great choices...but I've had the Siesta top in my Ravelry faves for a long time, so I'm going to start there...Thanks for reminding me, Selma ! Plus the Corran Cardi looks so worthwhile to knit for a transitional Spring/Summer/Fall garment in cotton/wool...Love it ! You inspire me :D
Alrightey darling ma'am, I've watched many of your recent vlogs and I really must know (specifically, please!) where you bought the silver earrings you've been wearing on camera since your NM trip. I was there with family about 2 years back and now wish I'd purchased some as well -- but I did buy local paintings, pottery, spices and yarn!
They were in a gallery in Taos called the ranch at Taos which had mostly art but some great jewelry as well. These earrings caught my eye when we were walking by and I had to back a while later because I could stop thinking about them
I learn so much from your podcasts, in particular I really enjoy your descriptions of working with different yarns. Your experience and insights are so valuable. Thank you! Also, I really appreciated your no fuss approach to respecting people's chosen pronouns. It's a little thing that makes a huge difference and I greatly respect you for making the effort.
I love the hot pink Patons Grace! Joann’s has that yarn on sale right now and I just ordered three 6-packs (hot pink, blush, and natural) for lacy summer crochet tops to wear over sleeveless dresses and tank tops. ❤
Love the Nila sweater, thanks for sharing I noticed that Natasja Hornby is offering 50% off all her patterns for one day - April 21, 2024 Amsterdam time
So much summer knitting inspiration! Are you familiar with the designer Hinterm Stein? Her designs are so beautiful…very modern and elegant. I have her Beyond the Dunes pattern but have yet to knit it. It calls for DK weight and has a cool shoulder detail. It looks like it’s on sale now for 25% off.
You give me such inspiration! I, too, am in a blue yarn stage right now. Some of your summer yarns would be lovely in a top that's a favorite of mine...check out Urchin by Libby Jonson. I've knit two so far and find them very wearable in a cotton/linen blend or all linen yarn. Thanks for sharing.
I enjoyed your recap of past tees and newly favorited patterns. I made a Vellichor 2 years ago out of koigu wool and spincycle dyed in the wool. In wool it creates a warm and cushy fabric. Since it’s wool, I wear it as a vest or Slipover, but it would make a wonderful tee in a lighter weight fiber. It’s a very easy pattern, but it took a bit longer to knit than I had expected. I’m currently knitting Wild Flowers by Tif Neilan in a fingering wt merino/cotton blend. It has flown off my needles. I’m almost down to the bottom ribbing and I’ve loved every moment of knitting this pattern. I’d make it again! The pattern is very clearly written and I enjoyed the interesting shoulder design which added to the fun. I highly recommend both patterns.
Thank you so much for a lovely episode full of inspiration! I have 3 projects lined up for summer but if I complete only 1 it will be a win! A bit off topic but we have not seen Yoda footage in a looong time and I am having withdrawls!
Hi Selma I am smitten with the Peacock tee, I knitted one last summer and NEED a hot pink one this year. I also need the Joni top by N. Hornby and the rota as well Good luck with your summer knits
Thank you for taking the time to insert the design photos. I love making note of them! Do you ever use bamboo or wooden needles for slippery yarns? I find it helps me to have a bit of friction if the yarn has silk or similarly slippery fibers. Happy knitting!
Ooh I like the Ankers. Just FYI you might want to consider adding short rows. It feels a bit high on the neck in the front but that could have just been my tension making it too tight at the top. Just a thought. :)
I also made the Ankers tee last summer and love it, but I saw a tip on IG and am so glad I took it - i turned the yoke inside out before splitting for the sleeves. I just like the pattern so much better, try it!
@@littlebigknits not yet, I got one which is some wild summery fiber blend, quite light, where I made up the pattern with a racerback and a front draped neck. Haha, after watching I pulled all my old summer shirts out.. I got a few that are short sleeved and made with a cotton viscose blend, that icord knitted type of yarn similar to one you showed. I did decide on one pattern, I’ll see when I’ll get to it. I have to finish one with crochet elements on the shoulders first! 💗
Oops I hit a key wrong ..anyway I made. The shophouse tee without back lace by Yamagara. I made so many mistakes thought it would look awful but somehow it worked out and looks great. It did take a lot of time started it to wear it last fall and am now able to wear it as spring summer wear. It was a brownish shade maybe chestnut shade. Thanks for all the spring ideas . I have some Antigone for rose rosenrot pattern. Another little project 😅. Delightful to listen to you.
I'm currently working on a Kuutar Tee in Lion Brand Cotton Bamboo Linen... I really like the yarn even though it is a bit splitty. So many great ideas!!! 😀
Loved all the summer recommendations! Planning to visit Ottawa sometime in probably May. My daughter-in-law just started knitting and wants to take me to the yarn shops in Ottawa. I was telling her about the ones that you have recommended before in your podcast.
Great to hear some after-wearing feedback 👍🏻 Odd how we wear certain things to death and ignore others 😂 Just a response to your comment on the size inclusivity of the tees you made, a large number of available sizes doesn’t = size inclusive. I saw a new pattern on rav the other day, 9 sizes, max 42” 😔 To fit 60” with intended ease seems to have settled as the standard for fully size inclusive and there are patterns with a smaller max size, all the way down to the ones like I saw above. I haven’t checked all the patterns you mentioned, just saying, don’t see a lot of sizes and trust it to mean size inclusive 😊
What a great episode! I, too am so excited to start summer knits. I'm currently making the Pyramid in-the-round by Minimi knits in a 2 wt, cotton acrylic blend. Her sample is made in a wool and I prefer no wool during warm weather but wanted elasticity in the yarn. I do love the cotton/wool blend but for fall/spring. It is very warm and humid where I live. Your summer top showcase is wonderful! So many ideas. I think the pink mesh top would look fantastic on you!
Last summer I knitted the Suri Shirt by Caidree using the Tussah Silk. It turned out beautiful, I love it. It was actually the recommended yarn for the pattern 😊
Another enjoyable podcast. I have just finished knitting the Rota Top and used creative linen from Rowan for mine. I just love this top and this yarn gives beautiful stitch definition. Can not wait for warmer weather to wear it. My next knit is the Adriata and then would love to knit the Anker Sweater. Thank you for sharing your knits with us.
Thanks for this inspiring video. The Flex is on top of my list and I have the same yarn (Lino by Lang). The Velichor is a wonderful knit! I often wear it as a vest in spring and autumn over a long sleeved Tee or even a blouse. I can only recommend it ❤ It will be a nice new item in your vest collection
Sliding into winter here in NZ but you have really inspired me with all of your summer knit suggestions. Now I’m looking forward to next summer. Thank you Selma 😊
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing my Talulah Tee, dear Selma! ❤❤❤ It means a lot to me and I am very grateful! Thanks for another lovely episode!
Thank you for a great episode to inspire our summer knitting. I love a lot of your summer knits, especially the Daring, Jana 2, Talulah and Nila tops. I made the Rota Sleeveless Top and absolutely love it! I made it with Sandnes Garn Line. There is a sweater version that I am interested in making too. Have a great few weeks, and I can’t wait to see what your summer knit will be. Cheers!
Thank you so much for sharing summer knit ideas. Living in Ecuador I don't have too much need for full on wooly sweaters but spring /summer tops are always appreciated.. Have a great day
I always enjoy your podcasts Selma - you're an amazing inspiration - each FO and started project is a beauty! Yikes, I'm just about to finish the raglan and start the body of my first Lento, I need to figure out how to (if possible) avoid that issue; like you, I didn't look at a huge number of completed projects on Ravelry prior to the start (although I remember thinking I wish the schematic was more detailed). 🧶It was interesting to hear how you're choosing projects for the Nutiden yarn, I have some in stash and am anxious to select the appropriate patterns - this insight is helpful. Have a great spring and thanks for another great episode ❤
I think the issue is likely mostly due to the yarn. I think a more drapey yarn would not cause such a problem and also a size with less ease. And thank you 😊😊
I was in the test knit for the Talulah Tee test and the fit is soooooo good and it was a pretty quick knit..... I LOVE mine and get sooo many compliments on it...... I highly recommend it!
Thank you for this episode, I found it very inspiring. The colours that you have chosen are lovely and you seem to suit all of them beautifully. I am looking forward to seeing what you make. Hx 💕🇬🇧🧵🧶
I gain so much knowledge from your podcasts! I am currently working through all your podcastd starting at number one. I have many notes, and I am up to Episode 41. Thanks for sharing your love of the crafts!
I too would love to have the "recipe" for those summer knits. They fit so well and the drape is beautiful. I do really appreciate your podcasts because of their focus on knitting and your obvious love for your craft. I feel the same way. You are good company to be in.
I would love the recipe for that top. 💕
Selma, you make me feel like knitting everything, I need longer days ...
lol we all do!!

Love the Rota and the Agave
Love to see your older knits and how good they have held up. I love the pattern ideas too
Thank you! 😊
Gracias por compartir, ese cardigan me gusta mucho.
Un saludo desde España ❤❤

Aww thank you Julie!! 😘😘

Thoroughly enjoyed this episode and great summer knit ideas! I am going to try the Lang Lino yarn! Thanks for sharing!
I’m laughing to myself, every time you cut and come back, imagining you screaming at your family that you’re podcasting. I appreciate that you can keep going!

Hi Selma, you shared your skirt recipe and I love it and made 2 skirts for my sister.

So glad you like the skirt recipe!!!
The KFO pure silk stretches a lot with wear, I usually size down for projects with it :)

What yarn did you use for the Corran cardigan you were wearing? It’s such a beautiful blue.
It’s a discontinued yarn that was a wool nettle blend.
Love idea of wildflowers top. Color you have chosen is lovely.
Great video! I love that Flex pattern. Off to add it to my faves!
I am interested in the tee recipe
Hi Selma, great catch up. Lots of inspo!! I too am knitting summer and winter items in tandem. Seems like we only have 2 seasons here in Alberta now - summer and winter 😂. Look forward to seeing you next time and very curious to hear what happened with the Nutiden 🤔 Bye for now 👋🏼
Hello 👋 unfortunately the nutiden has been a fail and something to explore in the next episode!
Hello, Selma. Love, love your podcasts. Thank you. I would love for you to share your "recipe" for knitting tops. The Acker tops are on my "to do list" , but would like your suggestions on how to add back neck height using German Short Rows.
I'm on the same page as you with the vellichor! I had swatched once but didn't cast on. Material for a KAL, perhaps? For motivation purposes? I have a bunch of Holst garn coast I was thinking of using for that one.
ETA: I'm in Nova Scotia and I know what you mean, we have an even shorter summer here. But it's so beautiful!
The Lamana knitted a bit longer in the lavendar colour silk yarn would look lovely. The Siesta Tee would be nice in the darker blue or bright pink. The Andrea Mowry perhaps in the burnt orange. But not a fan of that style. The Anka Tee would be nicer. I will have to knit the Corran. The colour reminds me of a lace cardigan I knitted in my 20s for my mother who has long gone for 30 years.
I love your podcast. Your knitting is so beautiful. I would really love a recipe for the v-neck top.
Selma, have you seen that Rebecca is planning to release a summer Tolsta? I am waiting for that pattern as there are a couple of versions that I can see knitting for summer and layering pcs for Spring and Fall.

Daring is nice mesh option

I suspect we would call your winter spring!! lol 😆
Omg I loved this, Selma, thank you! I wish it wasn’t quite this hot here in summer cause now I wanna cast on a summer top too! 😜🙌🏻🧶🥰💕😘

Great review and advice thanks Selma 🥰
Glad it was helpful!
Lovely ideas, thank you Selma ❤
Glad you like them!
Your ring in your right hand is beautiful. May I ask where you can purchase one? Thank you your knits are always beautiful.

Just so you know the know merino cotton KFO is a lovely yarn but….it is a tiny stitch …I did Yamagara

Loved all the summer recommendations! Planning to visit Ottawa sometime in probably May. My daughter-in-law just started knitting and wants to take me to the yarn shops in Ottawa. I was telling her about the ones that you have recommended before in your podcast.

Your summer top showcase is wonderful! So many ideas. I think the pink mesh top would look fantastic on you!
Thanks for mentioning your inspirations. Loved the Agave and bought it right away.
Last summer I knitted the Suri Shirt by Caidree using the Tussah Silk. It turned out beautiful, I love it. It was actually the recommended yarn for the pattern 😊
Another enjoyable podcast. I have just finished knitting the Rota Top and used creative linen from Rowan for mine. I just love this top and this yarn gives beautiful stitch definition. Can not wait for warmer weather to wear it. My next knit is the Adriata and then would love to knit the Anker Sweater. Thank you for sharing your knits with us.
Thanks for this inspiring video. The Flex is on top of my list and I have the same yarn (Lino by Lang). The Velichor is a wonderful knit! I often wear it as a vest in spring and autumn over a long sleeved Tee or even a blouse. I can only recommend it ❤ It will be a nice new item in your vest collection
Thank you, nice episode Selma 🌸🌺🌸Greetings Anita
Thanks for the ideas for summer tops! I LOVE the idea of that charcoal/bleu striped top.
Thanks Selma for all your ideas. I have brokken my elbow, so my knitting is a bit on hold. Love your podcasts. Greetings from Nederland❤
You inspire me Selma when you do these episodes, I really enjoy them, Thank you!🥰🇨🇦Sharon.
Glad to hear it!
Sliding into winter here in NZ but you have really inspired me with all of your summer knit suggestions. Now I’m looking forward to next summer. Thank you Selma 😊
Your Tussah Silk would make a great ranunculus!
Very inspiring 🧶 Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing my Talulah Tee, dear Selma! ❤❤❤ It means a lot to me and I am very grateful! Thanks for another lovely episode!
You are so welcome 🤗
😘 Thank you for keeping me company while twisting 70 skeins of yarn :D
My pleasure my dear!!
I like Patons Grace and colors are great.
Thank you for a great episode to inspire our summer knitting. I love a lot of your summer knits, especially the Daring, Jana 2, Talulah and Nila tops. I made the Rota Sleeveless Top and absolutely love it! I made it with Sandnes Garn Line. There is a sweater version that I am interested in making too. Have a great few weeks, and I can’t wait to see what your summer knit will be. Cheers!
You are so welcome! Glad to hear what you have made!
Bonjour
De jolis modèles présentés pour ce printemps et cet été.
Hâte de voir ! À bientôt

Merci!
Thank you, dear Selma to mention my new design "Austern Shirt" in your episode... ❤❤❤
You're welcome 😊 lovely designs!
Thank you so much for sharing summer knit ideas. Living in Ecuador I don't have too much need for full on wooly sweaters but spring /summer tops are always appreciated.. Have a great day
Glad you enjoyed it!!
I always enjoy your podcasts Selma - you're an amazing inspiration - each FO and started project is a beauty! Yikes, I'm just about to finish the raglan and start the body of my first Lento, I need to figure out how to (if possible) avoid that issue; like you, I didn't look at a huge number of completed projects on Ravelry prior to the start (although I remember thinking I wish the schematic was more detailed). 🧶It was interesting to hear how you're choosing projects for the Nutiden yarn, I have some in stash and am anxious to select the appropriate patterns - this insight is helpful. Have a great spring and thanks for another great episode ❤
I think the issue is likely mostly due to the yarn. I think a more drapey yarn would not cause such a problem and also a size with less ease. And thank you 😊😊
I was in the test knit for the Talulah Tee test and the fit is soooooo good and it was a pretty quick knit..... I LOVE mine and get sooo many compliments on it...... I highly recommend it!
That is awesome! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for this episode, I found it very inspiring.
The colours that you have chosen are lovely and you seem to suit all of them beautifully.
I am looking forward to seeing what you make.

Thank you so much!
J’ai un t-shirt en pure Silk de Knitting for Olive, c’est le plus confortable à vie… je l’adore. Moonset tee
Merci!!
I gain so much knowledge from your podcasts! I am currently working through all your podcastd starting at number one. I have many notes, and I am up to Episode 41. Thanks for sharing your love of the crafts!
Oh my goodness!! Thank you so much for the lovely comment 😊🤗😊
I too would love to have the "recipe" for those summer knits. They fit so well and the drape is beautiful. I do really appreciate your podcasts because of their focus on knitting and your obvious love for your craft. I feel the same way. You are good company to be in.
Thank you ☺️
Thank you for this episode full of inspiration Selma! I like to knit (and to wear!) those spring/summer tops :)
😘😘😘
Great choices all around 🧶
So many lovely projects. Really enjoyed your video. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Hi Selma, Loved all the inspiration. Thank you. 🤗
You are so welcome!
I love the blues you have chosen for your spring and summer knitting. Thanks for the podcast of summer knitting.
You are so welcome!
Pink is 90% of my clothing. Love that colour pink. 😊
Perhaps you are biased 😆
