tanks and tops that I knit and don’t wear and reflecting on disappointing summer knits

Hi, I’m Rebecca, a knitter based in Toronto, Canada. As we approach summer in the northern hemisphere, I wanted to reflect on my past summer knits in a two-part series chatting about tanks and tops that I've knit and been disappointed with and others that I love. Unfortunately, I consider most of my past summer knit to be flops - and I really wanted to understand why :(

Ravelry project pattern pages are linked below in case you were curious about them. Like I mention in the video, I recommend some of these patterns so it was not always the fault of the designers but my choice in yarn and sizing. I am hoping that these reflections will help guide my summer garment projects moving forward…or maybe I’ll just stick to cold weather knits!
