May Knitting Podcast & Summer Knits | SABAI Top, (More) Socks, Leora Tank, WIPs & Yarn!

May has come and gone, summer is officially here, and I have so many knits to share. Finished Objects (FO) include two garments (yes, one is the Sabai Top!), cozy accessories, and socks, plus WIPs, yarn acquisitions, and some surprise finds — it was a big making month! 🧶Welcome to KnitMech, where fiber meets function! I’m Erin—a mechanical engineering professor and mom, rediscovering my childhood hobby of knitting. I share projects, plans, and the occasional nerdy twist on knitting. Please like and subscribe to join me on the journey! Questions for You: How do you wash your cotton/linen summer knits? What color pom‑pom should go on the Noventa hat — pink, brown, or black? Have you knit the Sabai Top? Did you modify it? Let me know in the comments! Happy knitting 🧶 ▶️Chapters 00:00 Intro 00:36 FO1 09:07 FO2 11:29 FO3 14:28 FO4 17:53 FO5 19:44 WIPS 25:37 Acquisitions 📝Patterns I Mentioned 📃Sabai Top, by Susanne Muller 💵~$6.50 USD https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/libr... 📃I’m So Basic Socks, by Summer Lee 💵FREE https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/libr... 📃Bernadette’s Cardi, by by Mary Annarella 📃~$9.00 USD https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/libr... 📃SoHo Scrunchie, by Tori Yu 💵FREE https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/libr... 📃Noventa Cabled Hat, by Andrea Riddle and Lora Marin 💵FREE https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/libr... 📃Leora Tank, by Corrina Furgason 💵Part of the Warm Nights, Cool Knits Book https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/libr... 🚨Check out my Ravelry page for more details on yarn choices, sizes, and patterns. https://www.ravelry.com/people/KnitMech 🎞️Episodes I Mentioned:    • Nina Chicago Yarn Shop Review & Haul...SWE...      • April Knitting Podcast Recap FO & WIPS | B...   🚨YouTubers I Mentioned:    / @theknittingpaige      / @alimakeseverything   knitting podcast, knitting vlog, finished objects, WIPs, yarn haul, Sabai Top review, cotton linen knitting, summer knits, knitting for olive, Sandnes Garn Line, Trio 2 yarn, sock knitting, Summer Lee Knits, cardigan knitting, mohair knitting, scrappy knits, knit scrunchie, knitting modifications, beginner knitting patterns, knitting inspiration, knitwear podcast
