I have always been very faithful to wool. Or alpaca. Or any other animal fibre. I tried knitting a summer linen sweater in BC Garn Linho once, but I didn’t enjoy knitting it much, and I had worn it like 2 times before I gave it to my mum. Then I also tried one camisole, although I don’t wear such things, even non-knitted. I just wanted to try, you know, just knit it. By then, I knew I was not a plant fibre knitter, but I wanted to try one more item – a bralette. I used Knitting for Olive Cotton Merino, and despite not wearing the bralette even once, I discovered a summer yarn that I could possibly be willing to knit with in the future.

And the future is now! Being sad I can’t wear my knits during hot summer at all, I decided I would give it another try. At the same time, Andrea Gaughan was looking for test knitters for her Sunshine Tee (in the cover photo), so I applied and was selected. Now, I have a few more ideas for spring or summer knits, and I am eager to share them with y’all!
