Summary AI

In this episode of Evan Knits Things, Evan shares her crafting progress from July 23 to July 30, 2026. She starts by showing off two finished objects: a Wartortle cross stitch piece and a handspun Jaunty sweater by Andrea Mowry, which she knit from her own handspun yarn. She reflects on the Jaunty's shape and notes it will be a while before she can wear it due to the warm weather.

  • Finished the Wartortle cross stitch and the handspun Jaunty sweater
  • Worked on the Best Dressed Vest, fixing a too-tight collar by ripping it out and redoing it
  • Made progress on Plod the African Flower Triceratops, with the body done and the head in progress
  • Finished spinning a skein of Jakira Farms Silver Merino, with a mini skein for chain plying practice
  • Bought spinning fiber from Clockwork Fiber Co and 316 Dye Studio sales
  • Read seven books, including a five-star finish for 'This Inevitable Ruin'
