Are you kidding me? We come here to hear you talk about your designs! Never too much! Here's one non-knitting request for a future episode. Could you show us the different ways you wear your scarves(fabric) with your sweaters? I love that look and you always wear it so well. ❤
Great suggestion! Sure thing! Thanks! Always looking for fun topics so definitely will do! Thanks for watching!❤
Love watching your podcast Beth!! It's never too long
Wondful episode, also because we share a love for boxy and airy summer knits. Hopefully one day you will have a beautiful collection of summer knits of your own design! Enjoy your cruise ❤
Working on it!😉❤️
I was inspired by the boxy shape that all your summer knits seem to be. I’ll have to try it out. It’s a style that a lot of people seem afraid to embrace thinking it will add weight to their appearance. I see how airy and cool it would be over a light, floaty summer dress. I learn a great deal from your videos, thank you!
Thank you so much! I find the boxy shape incredibly flattering and comfortable. Good luck & happy knitting!
Thankyou again Beth, loved seeing your summer knits your so kind to show off other designers, it just confirms to me what a lovely person you are 😊. Can’t wait for your next sweater pattern it looks beautiful ❤
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the episode. ❤
Thank you for a most enjoyable episode. It is so helpful to see and hear your opinions on your summer knits. Lots of the information that you give is invaluable and even more so as it is coming from a designer. I'm in the southern hemisphere and like you a slow knitter, so I would like to thank you again for providing me with lots of ideas for my next summer knits.
Glad it was helpful!
Enjoying a lovely spring day here in NH USA, knitting the yoke of the Glimmerview in test mode, and settled in for a lovely visit with you!
Wonderful! Thanks so much for letting me keep you company!!! Happy knitting!!!
This was fun seeing all your summer tops. They all looked great! A cool relaxed summer look. 😊

Thank you! 😊
I have just found your channel. I live in Australia and this video is one of the best on RUclips for inspiring summer knits. I love your explanation of each piece. All of your pieces were amazing. And discovering you are a designer made my day!. thank you for being so generous with your content,.
Thank you so much! What lovely compliments!!! Summer knits are super tricky especially when you live in a hot climate. Glad you found some inspiration. Thank you so much for watching! ❤
Thank you! Love hearing about your designs! Great inspiration for summer sweaters.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it!
That was great to see the parade of short sleeve tops but I am amazed how many of them are dark, gray, black! All winter we’ve seen your colourful and light coloured sweaters. When the weather is hot I don’t get how a top over a dress isn’t too hot. The cruise sounds terrific…fun times ahoy!
Yes - I do gravitate to charcoal greys and blacks for sure even in the summer. ❤
Thank you for the summer knits parade. I really enjoyed seeing them all, lots of inspiration. Congratulations on Bermy 28 and the whole series 😊
Thank you so much! It was fun to do - I'm so inspired now on outfits for the warmer months! :)
Hi Beth, thanks so much for reviewing your summer knits, I really enjoyed it. Love your choice of colour very inspiring. We r heading into the cooler seasons but I still enjoy knitting with cotton. Thanks again Kim 💋🇦🇺❤️
Thanks Kim! Enjoy the cooler temps heading your way!!!
Absolutely love watching your podcasts and love your style!!
Thank you so much 😊
Hey Beth! So fun to see your lovely summer tops... off to look at some of those patterns - that deep charcoal colour is so flattering for you! Have a fab time on your cruise! Sounds soooo exciting. I'm looking forward to a nice visit on both days, of the Knit City Toronto that is next weekend... Take care, Cheers, Judith 💜
Thanks Judith! Have fun at Knit City TO - that looks like its going to be amazing!!! Enjoy!!!
Beth, I loved this episode! I put several of the patterns in my favorites. I so wish I could knit 24/7 LOL Once I'm done with the 3 projects I have going, I'm going to start my bermy basic. Have fun with the Grocery Girls and safe travels!
Wonderful! So glad you found some inspiration! Happy knitting and thanks for watching!
I enjoyed seeing all the summer knits, I hadn't considered colorwork with cotton yarn, but now I'm inspired to give it a try with the We Are Knitters cotton.
Please do! It's a lovely yarn and summer colorwork is great fun too. Cant recommend it enough! Happy knitting!!!
Beth I love the Bermy you were wearing. Just beautiful. The colors are a favorite of mine. Thanks for sharing your summer knits. Now I have some summer tees that I want to make. So let’s talk about those cherries. First of all yummy. Second I would pick a bucket of them to make jelly. How delicious would that be. I always enjoy your podcasts. Thank you. Have a wonderful cruise.
Thank you so much! Surinam cherry jam is AMAZING! So easy to make too as the pits naturally float to the surface when cooking. It is such a treat! 😋❤
Beth! Your summer knitwear is beyond!!! So elegant, like you:)
Awe thanks Andrea!!! ❤
Loved all your summer designs. As always such a great episode.
Thank you so much for watching!
Hahaha never be sick of hearing about your designs....
Thanks Mindy 😉❤
Can totally relate to mind wandering while knitting! Loved seeing many of your summer knits …. thanks for sharing. Enjoy your cruise and hope to see you again before then, time permitting!
Thank you so much! I hope to squeeze one more quick episode in before the trip. Fingers crossed!
Always a pleasure to knit with you. There is so much inspiration in this episode. My list of summer tops is now very long (and boxy)!
Wonderful! Hope the Boxy shape works for you too!!😂😂😂 Happy knitting!!!
Good Morning Beth! Well, that just made my summer list longer! A few of the sweaters you showed I have already knit but seeing them in a different color or yarn option makes me want to knit them all over again!! Thank you for a lovely visit, enjoy your warm weather…it’s gotten very cold in southern Ontario again. Have a great day 💜
Thanks Kelly! I feel the same way when I see your knits too! All so inspiring! Aren't we so lucky to have such a fun passion?!?! Hope it warms up there again soon and have a blast at Knit City TO - sorry to miss this one!
What amazing knits! Thank you so much for all the summer yarn recommendations. Have a wonderful time on the Cruse, it looks like it will be so much fun. Happy knitting 💚🧶💚
Thank you so much! Happy knitting to you too!!!
Thanks for the beautiful patterns you presented today. Unfortunately the days are not long enough to knit them all.your next trip sounds like fun, I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful time. Safe travels
Thank you so much! Yes, never enough time to knit all the things -such a nice problem to have too! Happy knitting!
Love listening to you talk about knitting! Just got your new pattern and can’t wait to jump in! You are such an inspiration!!!
Yay! Thank you so much! Happy knitting!
SUCH a helpful video! I’ve added every single top to my queue- exactly my taste !! Thanks so much!
You're so welcome! Glad it was helpful! All are fun knits too so you will be busy and having fun! 😉❤
Delightful. I hope you are having a great week
Thank you! You too!
Lovely podcast thank you Beth. So enjoyed seeing your summer knit collection which has given me more inspiration. Love all the Bermy basic patterns and your stripy version is super. So looking forward to the release of the Glimmer sweater. xx
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed the episode. Happy knitting!
Thank you for keeping me company. I have a rare day off to myself and I am knitting quietly on something small today. I too love cotton and linen even if it’s a bit harder on my hands. I have done two sideways linen knits and I love them. Fit is harder and requires some math. Jujuba on Ravelry. I’ve used Juniper Moon and like it too. A little heavier. Made a summer jacket with 3/4 sleeves with it and the Jujuba format. Thanks for all the inspiration. I never miss your podcasts but don’t always comment. You are really impressive. 🇨🇦🧶
Thank you so much! And thanks for the tip on the Jujuba format - I will definitely look that up!
That was super informative about yarns patterns, and your bermy basic! Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved seeing all those super cute summer tees! 😍😍😍💕
Thank you 🤗
Great tops for the summer! I'm in Florida so always love to hear about not only the designs others find great for summer but the fibers they chose and liked (or didn't) and why they like it (or don't). Great call on the boxy--that is the "don't touch" me time of year 😂
Yes exactly! Love that term for the hot season! Summer knits can be tricky to get just right. I've had a lot of not so successful attempts too which is why I'm happy to stick with the shapes and yarns that I find work best for me. Curious what you like to knit for Florida
Congratulations on the pattern launch. A huge thank you for your summer knit review. Living in Southern California I too only wear cotton or linen from May-Sept. Little humidity but hot. Thanks for the inspiration. ❤
Thank you so much for watching! Stay cool this summer!!! ❤
Loved seeing your summer knits ❤️
Thank you!
The Bermy Basic 28 is beautiful in the yarn you used. Looks great on you! Thanks for showing your summer knitwear, so many great ideas. Think I'll start with the Roving Summer Top by Irene Lin. Have a fun trip!
Thank you so much! You will love the Roving Top - a great knit and wonderful to wear too. Enjoy!!!
Lovely tops and the walk was just delightful we re having good weather here in edinburgh it’s unbelievable xx
Wonderful! I love Edinburgh! What a special city!! Enjoy your spring weather :)
Thanks for your great podcast. We are about to go into winter, but our summer is so long here in Perth Western Australia that it was great to see all your summer knits and be inspired for our next hot season
Wonderful! Enjoy the cooler temps heading your way!
I love all of your summer tops and I am now totally inspired to knit a boxy tee. I also actually like that the thumbs up show up in the camera when you do that … I want to try it next time I record. Congratulations on another great Bermi Basic. 🎉 🥰👍
Thank you Taci! No idea how the thumbs up worked - I get it when Facetiming friends too. So random!
Thank you for sharing your summer knits and thoughts and yarns…..great inspiration! An Alaskan cruise and knitting….so jealous
Thanks so much for watching. I'm SUPER excited about the cruise! Happy knitting!!!
I love your style and the display of your summer knits from the past. I also just purchased the Bermee basic! Thank you!
Hope you enjoy it! Thank you!!!
Thank you for the suggestions. Very nice summer knits. I just finish the boxy blue and I love it. 🩷
Oh wonderful! So glad you're pleased with it! Thanks for letting me know!
Your summer knits are beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Great summer top recap - I want to make all of them!!!
Happy knitting!!! 😂😂😂❤❤❤
I look forward to the Berry 26. Thank you.
Coming soon!!!
You ticked all the boxes today, Beth - thank you! Loved seeing your summer knits - I like to make one a year going into summer. A couple of years ago I made Cocoknits Leonie in a linen tape by Habu - love it. This year I made a Ranunculus in a mixed yarn base of silk, rayon and a bit of linen and I think it'll be perfect. I might even try a second tee using some Katia linen in my stash. Looking forward to your Glimmerview!
Oooh the Leonie is just my style! Thanks for the tip! I've added that to my list! I love all of the Cocoknits designs... ❤
Hello! I loved seeing all of your summer tops. I added some to my queue! You have to do another episode with your summer knits!! Trunk Island Tank and Chevron Vest are both my favorites! 💕Funny, we are on the same wavelength as I wore my Deschain this past week as well!! I knit mine back in 2019 in Juniper Moon Farm Zooey. Great knit! xo Kate
Thanks Kate!!!! Im sure a few of my summer designs will be highlighted in the upcoming months. Have to reserve a few things for the summer holidays (and less knitting :)) Thanks for watching!!!
What a great episode!
Thank you!!!
Linen is definitely my fabric of choice especially here in the south.
It is lovely and just gets better with time ❤
Thanks for the summer knits inspirations. I have added several to my list. What a nice treat to eat free cherries on your walks. I wonder if they are sweet or sour. So many delightful things in Bermuda!
You are so welcome! Glad you saw a few that appealed! The cherries are super sweet when fully ripe. Really refreshing and lovely.
My current knit is using Kelbourne Mojave and I love the softness and drape. Almost done ...want to take it on the trip 😊. Loved seeing your summer favs!❤.
Its a lovely yarn, will definitely have my eyes peeled for that on the trip! Love to try to use it exclusively for a garment. ❤
Your sweaters are also beautiful, and you have a meticulous attention to detail. Thank you so much for showing them. I’m excited for you to be going on the cruise with Joji and the grocery girls. I logged on only a few minutes after the registration opened and it was already too late. But I will be on the Canada and Eastern New England cruise with Jodi and Tracie in September, very much looking forward to that.
Oooh the East Coast cruise looks fabulous! I am super tempted and hoping they do that route again. Would be so interesting to leave from Quebec and go through the St Lawrence River. Enjoy!!!
I just started watching your podcasts. Really enjoying. I just figured out the meaning of your number sequences on the Bermy pullovers. Great idea. I could use one for my my Big Birdie . I live in Huntington Beach. We have pretty warm mild climate here, like you, except for Jan and February. I love my J Crew undershirts. They are getting pretty old so now I treat them gingerly. I wear them under everything in the cooler months. Have a great summer! Heading to Flock next week.
Oooh have fun at Flock! That looks like it’s going to be an amazing event! Yes the Bermy Basic is perfect for any yarn. I think I’ve knit one with Big Birdie too - fabulous yarn! Happy knitting!!!🧶
Great Episode, hope you all well!
Thank you for watching!!!
I'm in Seattle. You'll love the Alaska cruise!
Yay!!! Cant wait!!!
Gorgeous sweater you’re wearing. Love the colors. You should know that I’ve learned quite a bit from just having recently found your channel. Although Sometimes I don’t know what you’re talking about! 😂. I’m just returning to knitting after many, many years. And sometimes it’s daunting! But I enjoy your videos. 😊
I'm so glad! There is so much online to learn more and more about knitting. Its endlessly inspiring. Thanks for watching!
Hi Beth! I always enjoy your podcast, but even more today. I just received an old family tree document from a family member today and it starts over 250 years ago in Bermuda! Such a fun discovery. I loved the summer sweater show and tell. Great inspiration for my own summer knitting. Living in Georgia I also like looser summer knits and have used both the Sandnes Garn and Juniper Moon Farms Zooey yarns. Thanks for a great podcast!
What an amazing discovery! Wow your family was here on this little rock in the 1700's!!! So cool!!! I would imagine they were heading west from the UK? Curious what the last name was for your family at that time. Bermuda is small and there were finite family names back then. Thanks for watching!!!
@@bethmacdonaldstone the name was Rivers. Yes, I think they came from the UK and within a couple of generations went on to South Carolina. I don’t know anything else so hopefully they weren’t fleeing the law. ;)
@@deedeewalker1564 That's so interesting! I don't know of any Rivers here on the island now so they all must have migrated off. Such a small world - I find genealogy so interesting and learning how really interconnected we all are! ❤❤❤❤
HiBeth, I have only just started knitting again recently and your Bed my 28 will be on my to do list, loved the yarn over increase pattern😍. Enjoy your old casts.
Oooh that's a great pattern to get back into knitting. Enjoy! Thanks for watching!
Thank you I have decided on the yarn so it will be my next cast on. X
Thank you Beth for a showing all your summer knits. I’ve made a list for this summer and just started knitting one in de rerum Penelope, lovely yarn. I did purchase de rerum Antigone to knit the mid ocean tee, the ball felt softer than my swatch, it’s a little crunchy, I hope it softens up. Funny, you mentioned de rerum Robinson, just purchased this as well to knit the Wild Posy tee. I completely agree, sandnes garn line is wonderful and so economical. Looking forward to the next podcast.
Wonderful! Yes I'm back to knitting with the Antigone and it does feel a bit crunchy but interestingly I dont find it hard on the hands. It does definitely soften when washed. Have fun with the Penelope and the Robinson. You cant go wrong with any yarns from De Rerum Natura❤
I love love love your collection of summer knits. And black is my favorite colour! You are such an inspiration for me! Thank you! Elise
Wonderful! Thanks! All were a pleasure to knit too, have fun knitting!!!
Love your designs❤ love from Ireland x
Thank you so much! Ooh Ireland! Definitely a bucket list destination for me. Such an amazing knitting history there too!
I feel the same exact way about non natural fibers and the holes shirt. I had the same issues knitting mine. James is great tho! I'm so impressed you try other patterns. Not many designers do that but you always learning something. I cannot wait for your pattern with my advent this year. All the best Beth! - Kimberly
Yes - I think the Look at My Holes shirt works for some brains but not all. Interesting! I wonder what it is about it but I just couldnt maintain the stitch count!. I LOVE knitting from others patterns and learn so much from doing so. Kind of craving another, may have to cast something on as a nice mental break :) Thanks for watching!
Watched last night and now I’m adding several knits to my 2024 list! And I’m doing more than one in my favourite colour! All your comments hit home to me re boxy and loose and drapey - comfort is so important to me! Thank you!
So glad it resonated! Thanks so much for watching & happy knitting!!!
Enjoyed your Summer Knit Show; will add a couple to my Faves list, thanks. I'm working on Agave by Yumiko Alexander, and I purchased more yarn to make her Doodles pattern as well. Her patterns can be made in a variety of yarn weights (I'm using a lace weight doubled); you won't have issues using your fave yarns I think. They're loose, airy, & fit your boxy criteria to a T. Take a look; I think you may find a few to add to your own Faves list. 😊
Oh wow! I just looked Yumiko up and she is right up my alley!!! I've added quite a number to my list. Thank you!!! The Agave looks fabulous as does the Doodles. I also really like the Lily - all stunning!!! Thank you so much for the tip!!! I may just have to cast one on ASAP!!!
Beautiful knitting desigms 🩶🖤🤍💜
Thank you! 😊
This beautiful fruit looks like a fruit we have in Brazil called Pitanga… its delicious and full of vitamin C. ❤️
Just looked it up and yes that's exactly it! So interesting and thanks for telling me the Brazilian name. It's sooo tasty and refreshing!
Really enjoyed spending time with you today. Thank you for a great run through of your Summer knits ❤
Thank you so much for watching!❤
Hi Beth, kudos to you in completing “look at my holes”. I attempted the knit without success. I could not understand the cadence of the pattern and stitch count. I ended up knitting the Topaz Tee instead. Thanks for showing your summer knits.
Yes it was tricky for sure! I was always off stitch counts. I'll have to check out the Topaz Tee. Thanks for watching!
Hi Beth. I cannot stop creating a third bermy basic….
😂😂😂 They are addictive!!! Happy knitting!!! ❤❤❤
Love all your summer knits and your podcasts. Thank you!
Thank you so much for watching!!!
Beth, such a great episode! I live in a climate that is warmer than yours, less humid but with little to no breeze. If I don't do the proper attitude work, wardrobe adjustments, or trip planning, I suffer as the temps rise and linger from early May through late September. I love your style aesthetic, so I found your episode to be inspirational and encouraging. Thank you for being so thoughtful!
Thank you so much for watching! Glad you found it helpful and inspiring too. Take care & stay cool!!! 😂❤
Really enjoyed this one. Plenty of podcasters do lists of patterns they like, but I found the actual garments more inspiring…. thank you. We have humid summers so it has given me much food for thought.
Oh great! Glad you found the episode helpful. Summer knits can be tricky for sure... Happy knitting!!!
You a delight to watch. You're inspiring and always offer great tips.
Thank you. 🤗
Thank you!!!
Never ever sick of your designs...never!😊❤
Thanks so much 😉❤
Great summer knits. You love your boxy look as well as a definitive colour palette! Great yarn suggestions! Thanks Rosie
Thanks Rosie! Yup I definitely have a bit of a uniform going on in my closet! 😂❤
Thanks for sharing all you have- boxy is becoming my go to shape!
Have a wonderful time on your cruise!
Thank you so much! Super excited! And yes to Boxy sweaters - they just feel so comfortable!!!❤
You are so interesting and enjoyable to watch. Thanks for sharing your summer knits. Safe travels✈
Thank you so much for watching! ❤
Yay! I’ve been waiting for the 28. Thank you! ❤
Hope you like it! Happy knitting!!!
Hello from Swansea, Illinois.
Hello!!!
Good Morning, Beth 🌄 Just purchased your Bermy Basic 18 - just adore your designs & esthetic. I live in Florida & today the temp will be 95-97°F - WAY too hot for this early in the season 😮 Certainly makes it a challenge to be an obcessive Knitter who adores wool & silk - but your designs are certainly helping me out ❤ Have safe travels to Alaska - perfect time of year to be heading to the far north, right?? 🥰
Oh wow that is HOT!!!! I hope you've got really good air conditioning where you are!!! Have fun knitting the Bermy Basic 18! Sending cool thoughts your way!!!
I COMPLETELY get you when you talk about being a “Daydreamer knitter.” I am working on Ysolda’s Broch Beanie, no colorwork design could be easier, and I have frogged it three times because I keep screwing up the decreases! 🤬 I’m actually knitting on it and watching you right now which, come to think of it, is not the best idea. 😂😂😂
😂😂😂 Good luck with that! Happy Knitting!!!
Thanks Beth! Great summer tops tips, cool to wear black/grey in summer.
What are your thoughts on Silk Tweed La Bien Aimee for Bermy 28?
Oooh that would be lovely! That's their new summer weight yarn right? I haven't had the pleasure of seeing it in person but everything from LBA is perfection. You cant go wrong!
Loved your podcast! Great inspiration! Thankyou!
I could not find the Bren? Looked under Allison Jane too on Ravelry.
Could you please spell Bren for me? Maybe thats the problem.
Thankyou
Oh sorry, it's spelt BRIN. Such a great pattern! Happy knitting!!!
When did you start knitting? And how long did it take for you to reach the level that you are at now?
I started when I was young but left it until I had my child about 16 years ago. I'm fairly obsessive so knit a lot and keep persevering. Always making mistakes and always trying to learn from them. A fun and creative puzzle.
What do the little cherry things taste like? Do they have a pit or seeds?
They are lovely. The texture is overall very soft. Thin skin, VERY juicy (they pop when you bite into them) with a round pit in the center. Very refreshing. Very sweet and can of course be a bit tart if under-ripe (too orange in color). 😋❤
@bethmacdonaldstone They sound lovely. I wish I could try them, but I guess I'll have to live through you and other people. There are so many lovely places to go and things to see, do, and taste, and not nearly enough time and money for all of it.
Just got your latest sweater pattern and I think it will be my favorite as it is fingeringweight. Thank you so much for the discount.🥰🧶❤️
Thank you! Happy knitting!
