Welcome to the world of podcasting!
I have to admit, that I really haven’t had the time to watch other podcasts recently, but I’m so happy that UA-cam suggested yours because I’m loving YOU and your passion for knitting, your content and especially hearing about your intentions for 2024, and your audio/video quality which is AMAZING already!
I’m definitely looking forward to binging your other videos and becoming virtual knitting besties.
😘 Kim
Love all of your videos & watching a fellow Australian. I started my fibre journey with crochet but wanted to make socks. Crochet didn’t feel great on my feet so I’ve learnt to knit using you tube. Socks was my first knit project watching the crazy sock lady (9” circulars) but DK weight. This went quicker and easier to see. Definitely not an experienced knitter but always have socks as one of my wips now!
I started crocheting a year ago and then tried knitting. I am working on a sweater that I started at the beginning of the fall 2023. I can’t work on it often but it is coming along. I do understand about your weather as I live in the Phoenix area of Arizona in the USA. It gets to the 120s F in the summer. It’s like walking into an oven. The first time I went to the movies here I couldn’t figure out why people were bringing blankets in. I learned why by the time the movie started. The AC was kicking.
Hello from Northern California…. I live in a milder more Mediterranean climate… still can wear sweaters a few months a year, but we don’t get snow…. A few yarns I love that work for pretty much year round for me are ….Hobbii cotton silk, hobbii happy place yarn, fibers natura linen and drops belle ( Line or the Tynn Line are basically the same and all ones I love
I love your enthusiasm and energy for knitting. I hope to watch many more podcasts and that you'll continue to find joy in filming these. I've no defined plans or projects this year. I'll just take it as it comes, but I do want to make more tops. I'm in Texas (USA) and we may have a similar climate which greatly impacts our yarns,fibers and projects. I do not consider myself a "master" knitter; however, the majority of what I knit is socks.
Your sound and video quality are excellent and your voice is calm. Instant subscribe!
Your goals echo mine also, socks, brioche construction techniques and color work
it's interesting that Lion Brand has the Nuboo ... I think it's the same as their Truboo... I'm not a fan.
I'm going to get the touch of linen by Lion Brand... someone told me it's really nice.
Another one is Lion Brand cotton bamboo... I really like this yarn :))
I’ll have to keep an eye out for Touch of Linen and Cotton Bamboo - I haven’t seen them yet but I’m intrigued! 😊
Hello from Texas! It’s already pushing 26° during the day and it’s early Spring. We only have a couple months of cooler weather, so I feel your pain. Love my hand knitted sweaters 😭
Hello!! Oh yes it sounds like we’re definitely in the same boat. The weather was officially below 30 degrees yesterday and I almost leapt on my knitwear closet 😂
What at great introduction to your new podcast. I think your already a pro and such a delight to watch. I'm watching you from Bolton, Ontario, Canada.
You might want to try watching Anna Knitter she has a great podcast too. She'll give you a lot of tips on sock yarn. Now onto your next episode.
I just bought 2 mini skeins of Regia :))
OooOooOoo! Enjoy 😁😁
Great to see an Aussie podcaster. 🎉loved it. I’m from Western Australia.
Well done! I hope you do try brioche knitting. It’s makes a very lofty and thick fabric though, so you might want to save it for home decor things. Ps. I had to explain to my husband what FO stands for. Lol
HA! 😆 lucky he has you around! Home decor is a wonderful idea - I bet brioche would look super pretty as a couch cushion cover 😍
Very enjoyable podcast, you are a natural and I look forward to your future podcast.
I am a late starter to knitting from Sydney, so very much a beginner. I retired two years ago and never had the time previously.
I too can not wait to conquer socks, I will feel accomplished when I do :-)
How exciting to have started knitting recently! You have so much joy ahead of you and in Sydney you will even have the opportunity to wear some thicker knits out and about 😁 we can take on the challenge of socks together, I can already tell that they will be TOTALLY addictive to make 🤩
@anne-mareehern we are the same person! From Sydney (now Tassie), retired & after a few failed attempts half way through my first sock 🙂
@@shyliewoods Tassie is beautiful, a lovely place to retire
Hi Nadine, how wonderful to find your podcast. I live halfway between Cairns and Townsville, so understand the heat problem ! I am obsessed with beanies, hats, shawls .
I love to knit, and crochet.
What a joyous way to look after our mental health.
Hello! My goodness, yes you would definitely understand the heat challenge!! From everything I've heard, you're in a beautiful part of the world. I totally agree - knitting really is a beautiful form of self care.
Hello from the US! I LOVE your channel and have been binge watching it while working on my first sock! I picked it up when I didn’t meet gauge for my current project because I have to wait for my needles to be delivered. I have an interchangeable set, but I really prefer fixed circulars (chiaogoo). I will say that I am using a linen/cotton yarn called Mojave for that project and I’m excited. I’ll let you know what I think about the yarn. Our climate is pretty extreme, very cold in winter and very hot in the summer (100+) so I’m hoping it will be a good summer yarn.
So glad I found your channel. I am watching all your episodes. You bring such a calm and soft platform. Your love of knitting shines through. Looking forward to all your episodes and projects.
I learnt brioche a couple of years ago and had been intimidated by the way people spoke about it prior to learning the technique. I wouldn’t necessarily call it “hard”, but it is a new technique that requires practice. What I found difficult was fixing mistakes or dropped stitches. My suggestions to a newbie brioche knitter are to use a slightly grippy, non-super wash yarn that is more likely to stay in place if you do drop a stitch, and to use lifelines to make it easier to rip back if you do make a mistake.
My first brioche project was The Collective Shawl, by Joji Locatelli. It has sections of two-colour brioche broken up by sections of garter stitch. It sounds like this might be what you’re looking for. Other designers with brioche patterns worth a squiz are Lesley Anne Robinson, Stephen West, Andrea Mowry and Nancy Marchant. I hope these suggestions help you begin your brioche journey. ❤🧶
I started out crocheting for about 10-ish years but wanted to learn to knit just so I can knit a pair of socks... 5 years later all I want to do is knit socks, I always have a sock on the needles when I'm on the go. Loved your video, can't wait to see more content. ❤
Nadine, great intro! I subscribed right away because I really hope your vlog will become successful. I’m from Vancouver Island, Canada but have been to Brisbane and can relate to the heat 🥵 I love linnen and find it cooler then cotton to wear but it can be expensive :/ Good luck 👍🏼👍🏼
So happy to have UA-cam suggest your channel! Lovely video…catching up on all of them now 😊
Hi Nadine, greetings from the UK (which is a little chilly at the moment!) Enjoying your podcasts, especially the ten Sophie shawl alternatives. I'm not the greatest knitter, and am probably better at crochet, but I enjoy both very much. I am trying to reduce my yarn stash at the moment as it's slightly out of control! Thank you for the inspiration.
Just found your Channel and am now subscribing 😊 BR @nadiawind
You might like the Alpine Bloom by Caitlin Hunter. I knits up great in Linen, plus it is color work.
Nadine. You’re adorable. What a great first video.
For your sock knitting, check out the crazy sock lady patterns. She is amazing
You are a refreshing delight! Thank you for adding to the Yarny community and looking forward to seeing more of you ♥️
So glad to find your channel! I live in the Sunshine State in the USA: Florida. Our climate is very similar to yours and so I find I knit shawls the most especially for the air conditioning and when our temps do drop down (sometimes) during our winter. I am coming to Australia with my family for the first time during your winter this year and our last stop is Brisbane! So glad to hear about Australian knitters, etc and find an Aussie knitting podcast. We also need more reasons to cast on new projects and try new yarns and patterns, right? Thanks for sharing your time.
My first brioche pattern was about 4 years ago. It was the Alaska skirt. It was such fun that I knit it twice! I don’t know what you would use plant fiber wise to make it cool enough for Australia but it is a really fun and straight forward project to learn on.
What a lovely natural video, I agree with the fit of the contiguous yoke being great and not slipping off of the shoulders. I recently knit Winding Bands cardigan and it would have to be one of my favourites to wear for that very reason. I think with socks there are lots of different options, toe up, cuff down, all the different heels, the needles you choose to knit them with, so it is just a matter of trying lots of different ways to see what suits you. I do love knitting socks and often have one on the go. It's a great take out knit or just for a break from a larger project. I have recently found beautiful self striping yarn from and indie dyer here in New Zealand, so it's a super simple plain sock that is make beautiful by the fibres and the lovely colourful stripes. I have just relocated from the North Island to the South where the climate is cooler so I'm looking forward to plenty of me Winter knits. Great time to have found you while I settle in in a new to me city.
Doing a quick binge to catch up on your videos, as I just found you. And am really pleased! I live west of Melbourne but, despite the cooler temperatures here, I don't enjoy wearing acrylic or anything heavier than an 8 ply. So snuggly, thick garments of our Northern hemisphere creators are gorgeous to see but not really of interest to me. Looking forward to some Aussie-friendly, relevant content.
Welcome!! Such a lovely compliment to hear that my videos are bingeable 😄 I feel the same way about those gorgeous, warm sweaters - fun to watch but I don’t know that I would ever make most of them!
Your intentions resonated with me as mine are similar. This year I intend learning to knit socks and make more tops/sweaters/cardigans either crochet or knit. I’ve completed a crochet 4ply top - short rows, raglan, new stitch patterns- and I love it. Just started a knit raglan and learning German short rows with m1L, m1R. I would love to have a wardrobe of handmade tops but haven’t found a fibre I really love either. I’m doing mosaic crochet for the first time in a CAL in April and looking forward more learning. I’d like to consolidate these learnings before moving on to new adventures. Love your pattern discussions and calm, smiling demeanour.
Hello and welcome! Gosh, you have tackled a whole lot of techniques. It sounds like you will have a full closet of hand made garments before long! ❤
Absolutely loved your video. Your voice is very easy to listen to. Looking forward to future videos. I have subscribed. :)
I really appreciate your comment - it’s always weird hearing your own voice but I’m glad others don’t mind it! Thank you so much for subscribing 😁
Hello from Pennsylvania USA. Enjoying your podcast and your accent😊 I also enjoy knitting and listening to knitting podcasts.. so relaxing and it is like sitting with a friend and knitting. Maybe you could share some of your favorites with us.
Hello!! That’s a wonderful idea. I’ll put it on my list of video topics 😊
I am watching this from Belgium (Europe) where the weather is rain (a lot). A year ago I started knitting socks and have not stopped knitting since.
Once you start you never stop 😉😆
So happy to have found you! Liked and subscribed almost immediately!
I live in Israel and totally get the lack of opportunity to wear the warmer knits. I find myself knitting a lot of tops in cotton and bamboo. Fortunately, we do get to travel to Europe a bit so I do have a chance to wear the woolies. And the office A/C is freezing all year round, so I have my office shawls to wear.
Hello and welcome!! Thank you so much for liking and subscribing 🩷🩷 how wonderful to be able to travel to Europe and take your knits out in the wild 😁 office shawls are a great project for the summer months, aren’t they!
My dear Nadine, I also live in a terrible city where there is always sunshine...almost. The beautiful Lisbon. However, for obsessed knitters like us, it's a baaaaad thing!! Sometimes....don't want to be ungrateful! I am not experienced but I always have a pair of socks, or two, on the needles....Loved your podcast. Lots of love from this portuguese ❤❤❤❤❤ and thank you for sharing your precious thoughts on this obsession of OURS .... I watched your latest episode and now I am watching them all😊❤
...as I fold the laundry...Listening to you makes it more bearable ❤
Pozdrawiam z Polski :)
I’m another Brisbane knitter! I was very happy to find your videos! I have been knitting on and off for a long time, but watching UA-cam knitting videos has really pushed me to learn new things. I’d love to be able to knit socks without a pattern or adapt a pattern to a different yarn. I hope you keep making videos!
Woohoo! How fantastic to find another knitter here in Brissy. I like watching UA-cam knitting videos for the same reason - there are so many talented knitters out there and it’s quite inspiring to see them tackling new things. Thank you for your lovely comment 😊
Great job. Yay for an Aussie based podcast. Look forward to following along. I love watching knitting podcasts but always find the yarns inaccessible or super expensive.
Thank you so much for the lovely comment! 🩷 I’m right there with you - I get major yarn envy watching most knitting podcasts because I can’t seem to find the yarn they talk about anywhere or it’s expensive enough that a whole sweater quantity is definitely a special occasion purchase.
Hi from Canada. It is brutally humid here in the summer but I still knit on. I love your podcast - so easy to follow and well put together. Great intentions. My intention this year is to knit a Marie Wallin pattern. I also agree that it is the process and not the production that I love :) Looking forward to seeing more of your podcasts.
I’ve just had a look through some Marie Wallin patterns and WOW - such beautiful colour work. A great challenge for this year! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the podcast.
Do you have any idea on what brand of linen yarn you’ll try? I’m from Melbourne, nice to ‘meet’ you 😊
Hello! Lovely to meet you too. My sister lived in Melbourne for a little while and I loved visiting her in the cooler seasons - great for getting some wear out of my sweaters. I'll have to do some research on linen yarns I think - I've only come across a couple. Please do let me know if there are any you've got your eye on! :)
You’re a natural in front of the camera! 👏Very enjoyable. Thank you. 🌷
You’re too kind, thank you so much!! 🩷

Hello from New Mexico, USA! I am happy to have come across your channel! I also follow many knitting channels and watch daily. I love your personality and look forward to watching your videos as you develop your new channel. I also live in a place with warmer climate and have knitted with cotton, wool blends, and linen. There are several I like and I hope you find one you like.
Hello!! I’m very happy to meet another daily podcast viewer / enthusiast 😄 thank you so much for your lovely comment.
