Summer Cast Ons & The Books I Can't Stop Thinking About

🧶 New cast-ons, WIP updates, and a stack of books I can't stop thinking about. This episode is the definition of a summer knitting vibe.This week I'm casting on TWO new patterns just in time for the 4th of July holiday: the Avenue Tank by Tori Yu and the Twisted Tea Shirt by Briana Lupino of Little Wolf Knits. I'm also sharing progress on my So Faded sweater, DRK Everyday Sweater, and Honey Petal. All Andrea Mowry designs, because clearly I have a type.Then we're talking books. I finished three this month (including one that absolutely wrecked me in the best way), and I've got six more queued up for July.
