Fun podcast episode! As for a name for the tennis matching set, how about something with the word “love” as it’s also meaningful in tennis?

[@theknitsitch]

Omg this is so cute maybe “Love matching set” instead of love set match 😂

[@starcrossedknits]

yesss let me see if i can think of something that uses that! i was also thinking of using "doubles match" in it somehow??

[@faithgoalder7797]

my brilliant friend is one of my fav books/series!! also highly recommend giovanni's room and in the dream house

[@starcrossedknits]

i've heard great things about in the dream house, so i'll check out giovanni's room too! sounds like you have amazing taste in books, thanks so much for the recs!

[@janiyahl.9456]

You can add an elastic in the tube top on the top hem for it to fit your body

[@starcrossedknits]

that's a great idea, thank you!

[@helenlayley]

If you have found more yarn then extend the bandanna into a shawl! It's gorgeous! And shawls are so so good for summer evenings . . .

[@starcrossedknits]

honestly i really should! you're right, especially in the bamboo yarn i think this would be really comfy and perfect for cooler summer nights.

[@theknitsitch]

That bandanna wound be really cute as a bandanna top ❤ Recently learned I can read and knit at the the same time and am reading Howls Moving Castle in the sun while I knit and it makes me so happy definitely agree about reading more in summer ☀️

[@starcrossedknits]

omg you are living the dream! i can't manage to handle a physical book and my knitting at the same time but maybe one day i'll get there! but wait bandana top is such a cute idea

[@karlygreen6872]

You might be able to get use out of the bandana by using it in your hair!

[@starcrossedknits]

i tried that but i think it looks a little goofy since the knot where you tie it is just a bit too thick! would be so cute if it worked out though, the photos on the pattern page on ravelry show some in people's hair and it's SO cute. i should remake it in silk tbh :')
