Julie Turjoman’s designs have appeared in Interweave Knits and Knitty. Check out this link in Ravelry for her designs.
She compiled Brave New Knits (link to book in Amazon) and has self published a NEW BOOK: Knits that Breathe.
She saw a need for those that live in warmer climates, and the ladies that suffer Their OWN Personal Summers (aka HOT Flashes). These were designed to be used with silk and bamboo for the ultimate beautiful layers. https://www.amazon.com/Knits-That-Breathe-Breezy-Projects/dp/0991148606/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1402590664&sr=1-1
She invites all to join the Julie Turjoman Designs Ravelry Group where you can stay tuned for her future publications.
What a fantastic show! Loved listening to Julie describe her breezy patterns. I think the book was written with me in mind. We can get up to 45 degrees here in the Summer in Australia, how nice would it be to be able to wear your knits all year round.
Thank you Marly for another fantastic podcast.
As another Chicagoan, I agree, we have terrible weather and having something breezy to wear is definitely a requirement. Lovely designs. Thanks for sharing this gem with me Marly.
Great show, Marly! Love Julie’s designs, especially the Iced Frappuccino from her breezy collection! It will be wonderful to wear in Texas! So glad to see these type of designs using these yarns!
What an AMAZING interview. Julie’s book sound like a MUST HAVE!!! Thank you Marly for hosting such great guests!

Enjoyed hearing your chat together. I think we have a great need for breezy knits. I live in an area where I can appreciate garments that flow. Thanks for the collection.
The breezy light yarns and designs sound wonderful for the South Carolina heat I’ve still not adjusted too. I miss wearing my knits.
Wonderful! My sister is allergic to wool and would love some breezy knits!
What beautiful designs. They would be light and breezy in our hot Australian Summer.
Loved the show ! Entering the word breezy to enter to win the book …

I want to knit something breezy to wear after a day at the beach!
Finally!!!! I AM SOOO EXCITED THAT SUCH A BOOK EXISTS!!!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH JULIE! Thank you too Marly! If it weren’t for your podcast I wouldn’t have heard about it. I’m looking forward to making these much needed “BREEZY” knits.
From one “hot” person to another…Keep cool and knit/crochet on!

I love the idea of having knits for the summer! You need something breezy to keep you cool! Thanks for another great show!
I love the idea behind Julie’s book! I’m in Texas, and we could definitely use some breezy knits here, not just during the summer but all year long.
I love these designs. Thanks Marly for introducing Julie as a designer. I can’t wait to make some of my own breezy knits.
In California a breezy sweater is perfect

As a cyclist, I’d love to have some breezy knits to wear! It’s always chilly enough to want a sweater, but still too hot and sweaty to want something really hot.
