Best tip I ever got: Always pick up 1:1 and then correct the number of stitches on the first row you knit! That way the pickups aleayd look perfect! I usually go down a needlesize for the pickup and then change back directly next row. (I’m Swedish - in case you think my English is bad🤪) /Maria
Nora don't stress about having a project on the needles for too long, my longest is...well I started it when my nephew informed me that his girlfriend was pregnant, baby great niece is now 9.5 yrs old, Yes that is YEARS. I also have a shawl/blanket since January 2023, a sweater that I started in November 2023, in the meantime I have finished about 11 projects that I have kept track of besides sewing some projects bags (6 in 3 different sizes s, m, l), sewing curtains for my dining room.... I love that you have taken that some projects will get done when they get done! It does stress me out to have so many projects on and not having to finish anything but I work on which ever I have a mood to work on and that has been so soothing and all of a sudden I find my self finishing two or three within days of each other.
Something I've started doing when picking up is pick up all the stitches, and make decreases in the first round to get the desired amount - I find this leaves a really neat result! So excited to see the final skirt, I'm thinking of getting yarn for one once I've made a dent into my stash for gift knits!
Try using stitch markers to mark every 10 or 20 stitches on the Boucle so you can take a quick glance each round and make sure you haven't added an extra stitch
Nora, the cardigan is stunning! I’m in love with deep browns and cannot wait to see the Osi sweater. As a New England girly I want to recomendé the Vermont Sheep and Wool Festival. I went Saturday and it was amazing! It was my first wool festival and I loved every minute and it was a beautiful setting. Happy knitting
Well your looking rather gorgeous today Nora and your wearing those beautiful earrings again they look great with your dark top. Tolsta is going well slow and steady wins the race as they say lol. Have to say I love the mint cream might have to get some myself and I’m glad your enjoying the cardigan pattern another enjoyable Saturday sit down with you
I can't wait to see how your Cordelia skirt fits with the waistband done. I'm also excited about your new cast-on for the test knit. That boucle yarn is scrumptious, and your dog is just precious.❤🧶🐶
I had fallen down the Ravelry rabbit hole trying to decide what to cast on next & feeling paralyzed in my decision! Seeing you knitting up the Beatrice cardigan has motivated me to try it as well - maybe even in the same color! Yours is beautiful! I also have some boucle in my stash that I’ve never known what to do with, so now I’m anxious to see how your Artemisia test knit works out. Love your videos!
I hope you give the Beatrix a try!! It is one of my favorite knits I have ever worked on and I can only imagine it will get so much wear. It’s been a treat to knit!!
For anyone looking to figure out a pickup rate for your own numbers, use a calculator app (or Google) and divide the # of STS you want to pickup by the # if STS you have and reduce the fraction. The number on top is how many to pickup and the bottom number is in how many. Sometimes it takes some fiddling to get the nicest numbers possible. I prefer this method cuz I don't have to visualize it at all, the numbers just tell me what to do 🤣
You’re gonna love having the Sand cardigan this winter! If working the button band has become boring and tedious. Maybe working the pockets will motivate you! I can’t wait to see it finished! Sent with much love, care, and appreciation for your videos.
Good Morning! Hoping to finish my Storms and Saints shawl and then move onto finishing my 1st Florrie Scarf so I can start on my 2nd Florrie scarf! But then there might be a small bump in the road as I just found out the yarn is in the mailbox! So there may also be a cast on! The knitting world is my oyster! And what a great day! My Nora is on! Does it ever get better than this!
The name 'Storms and Saints' grabbed me so I looked it up on Rav -- thank you! It's exactly the kind of clean, simple pattern I look for to simply show off the drape of the yarn. Cheers --
@@Citroen_2cv I picked this pattern because I had a very special skein of yarn gifted to me by my dear friend. I wanted a simple pattern to show off the yarn! And, it’s a pattern that I can use up every gram!
Curious how you’ll find knitting with the bouclé - I happened to be eyeing some this evening and wondered how it would be to knit, and if it’s tricky to count stitches. It makes a lovely texture and will look comfy but still put-together as a sweatshirt! Osi stole the show 🤎 🐾
One quick tip on the waistband elastic. You probably know hhis already, but make sure you buy the "non-roll" elastic, especially since the 1.5" regular elastic would roll easily and become uncomfortable as well as funny looking. Ok, i absolutely adore the chestnut boucle yarn. That sweater is going to look incredible on you. Congrats on your progress so far, on reaching 11k subscribers, and your Fall knitting plan which i watched yesterday. I have to catch up on last week's video, since we had no power until Tuesday. Happy Knitting!
The boucle project looks good. I have a lot of rust colored boucle and matching plain mohair, unraveled from a thrift store UFO, but I am in a warm climate and could not get much wear out of your project, sadly.
Oh noo! It seems like such a perfect pairing for your yarn! It might be worth it to look into the Boulevard Bag by Lily Kate France as a fun accessory for your boucle!! I love mine!
i messed up 1 stitch in my sweater i’m knitting right now and your philosophy was in my head when i got a little annoyed about the mistake. it’s just perfectly handmade🤍
I was watching Laura Penrose’s Autumn vlog episode 2 and thought you’d want to know that there’s a part where she’s knitting and watching YOUR podcast!!! 😊❤
Sufficiently coherent! Did you see the below comment about putting in stitch markers for boucle (check every 20 rows or so, and go back without having to ladder down--which is a bitch in boucle!). On fixing mistakes: I'm in the camp that says: a) catch them early by pausing frequently to admire your work [also good for wrists]; b) fix them if you catch them fairly soon--in fixable places; c) fix them or even tink or rip back, when they are just unbearably wrong; d) leave them if they are in hidden places, or if you decide they are an emblem of your own originality and creativity (like your imperfectly perfect idea).
With your Beatrix cardigan and the "mistake fixing", I'm not sure if you said you TINKED back to the row that had the wrong stitch in it, then laddered down to fix it, then of course re knitted that row. If you did, I have a hint that may help in the future. If you are not continuing in the round so you can come back to the offending line, then use your barber cords and just rearrange the needles to the offending line, then ladder down, fix, then rearrange the needles again. No tinking required.
Thank you so much!!! I am a firm believer in washing hair no more than twice a week and I let it air dry after washing, then style with heat for day one and touch up after that!
I honestly would sew down the waist band and leave a couple of inches open and use a safety pin to feed the elastic through. I think it would be easier. Obviously I could be wrong. 🤷🏻♀️😂
Could you tell me where you ordered your chestnut boucle from and what quantity is needed for the emmas knit sweater? Is the trim (neck and cuffs) in DK or fingering weight wool?
mohair.dk/en/mohair-garn/?srsltid=AfmBOopH5ABn-OhiqGqodvzJgvbC-vS5oGKvjXrLJ65LUzzxlml7mRDd I ordered 5 skeins of Boucle and the cuffs/collar are intended to be knit in the 2ply Mohair from the same place held double!! (my size called for 200g of that!)
I see absolutely nothing wrong with knitting for yourself!!! I told my family last year that I would no longer be gifting anything at Christmas and would instead gift everyone something special and handmade for their birthday and it has gone extremely well! I will 100% be doing the same this year!
Oh these knits are so good so much inspo so little time. Hi sweet baby Osi, we hear you, you're adorable. I love your earrings, i wish heavy earrings didnt bother my ears 😬
Best tip I ever got: Always pick up 1:1 and then correct the number of stitches on the first row you knit! That way the pickups aleayd look perfect! I usually go down a needlesize for the pickup and then change back directly next row. (I’m Swedish - in case you think my English is bad🤪) /Maria
Your English is perfect and that is a fantastic tip!! I will definitely have to try that one of these days! Thank you!
OMB the new graphic of Osi in the Brien sweater and cap! Too cute!!
Nora, I am more in the camp that mistakes must be fixed. It’s a wonderful skill to develop and we are proud that you took that on. Great job
And UA-cam explodes at 42:40!! Can we all take a moment to notice how ADORABLE your wee dog is?! I am in love. 🤎
Hehehehe I know!!!! She’s the cutest and the best girl ever 🥰

@@annaasund1201 exactly what I was thinking
How smart!! I never thought to do that but will keep it in the back of my mind for future! Thank you!!! Good luck with gift knitting!!!
Try using stitch markers to mark every 10 or 20 stitches on the Boucle so you can take a quick glance each round and make sure you haven't added an extra stitch
Totally going to do this! Thank you!
That “red” on the Tolsta is gorgeous! I’ll have to get some for meeee!! 😏
Could you tell me where you purchased the Boucle yarn?
Nora, the cardigan is stunning! I’m in love with deep browns and cannot wait to see the Osi sweater. As a New England girly I want to recomendé the Vermont Sheep and Wool Festival.

Thank you!! I have not been to Vermont in FOREVER! I will definitely have to add it to the list! Thank you for the recommendation 💛

Good morning. Good to see you. Glad to see sweet Osi. You do such beautiful work.
Thank you so much!! 🥰
Did u think about a sewn bind of for the skirt? Like a kitschener stitch or so…
Loved your video. You are so positive.🥰

Lovely fall podcast 🤍 love love love the artemisia sweater and Beatrix sweater !! 😍🥰
Thank you!!!
I love your row counter hack! 😊

I’m definitely going to do my best to get to the bottom of the boucle knitting experience! I’ll keep y’all posted! She always does 💛💛💛🥰

I most definitely have to remember that!! Thank you! Thank you thank you thank you 🥰 so happy to have you back on the grid!! 💛

Some are worth fixing and others aren’t!! Don’t let it keep you down ! I love that you’ve embraced your little signature
I was watching Laura Penrose’s Autumn vlog episode 2 and thought you’d want to know that there’s a part where she’s knitting and watching YOUR podcast!!! 😊❤
Yayyy! I haven't caught up with her vlogs yet, but that makes me so so happy! Thank you for sharing 🥰

Thank you. Another lovely episode. Can you share your hair care routine.. it always looks so healthy. X
And your make up, beautiful autumnal colours. X
Thank you so much!!! I am a firm believer in washing hair no more than twice a week and I let it air dry after washing, then style with heat for day one and touch up after that!
If you do the vest Tolsta, you can also wear it as a Christmassey sweater vest
Oooh that’s so right!!! I just got a fun new collared shirt that could be perfect for that! Thank you for the suggestion!
I honestly would sew down the waist band and leave a couple of inches open and use a safety pin to feed the elastic through. I think it would be easier. Obviously I could be wrong. 🤷🏻♀️😂
Hahaha it very well could be easier that way! I just can’t stand pushing elastic through waist bands 😅
You HAVE to knit Osi a matching sweater 😊😊
Could you tell me where you ordered your chestnut boucle from and what quantity is needed for the emmas knit sweater? Is the trim (neck and cuffs) in DK or fingering weight wool?
mohair.dk/en/mohair-garn/?srsltid=AfmBOopH5ABn-OhiqGqodvzJgvbC-vS5oGKvjXrLJ65LUzzxlml7mRDd
I ordered 5 skeins of Boucle and the cuffs/collar are intended to be knit in the 2ply Mohair from the same place held double!! (my size called for 200g of that!)
I have so many Christmas knits to start but honestly I just am more excited to cast on stuff for myself. I’m feeling like a selfish knitter.
I see absolutely nothing wrong with knitting for yourself!!! I told my family last year that I would no longer be gifting anything at Christmas and would instead gift everyone something special and handmade for their birthday and it has gone extremely well! I will 100% be doing the same this year!
Oh these knits are so good so much inspo so little time. Hi sweet baby Osi, we hear you, you're adorable. I love your earrings, i wish heavy earrings didnt bother my ears 😬
Sooo little time! Thank you 🥰 I will say that they’re not nearly as heavy as they look but I totally know what you mean!!
