The brown looks so pretty! Do that one pls!

The Brown! It just screams fall 🍂🍂🍂

Hi! I like this pattern! However, for a new knitter like me, it would have been helpful to show how and when you changed out the cord and needle size. 😁

Great tutorial. Just wanted to say that some of the time you were knitting you were out of the camera and we could not see you. Also what size cord are you using?

This is life changing! Totally agree with you. Purling is so much more fun now!!

Purling looks complicated but I'll definitely give this a try. Thank you for a thorough tutorial

Loved the tutorial, will love to see how you knit using two colors. If you have a tutorial already could you please share the link? Thanks

I knit stockenette Norwegian Style. After I got the hang of it, I loved it so much better, but for me, when I purl, I guess you would call it picking. I just bring my yarn to the front, grab it and put through. So fast and easy. I think purling this way is fun, but no matter how hard I tired, I personally had issues with uniformity.

As a crocheter all my life, when I learned to knit, I went straight to Norwegian style and didn't even know it. I thought I was doing Continental. I've just never been a fan of having my fingers sticking in the air. For purling, I initially tried Continental purling and was like, "Absolutely not." Norwegian purling saved my knitting journey.

Thank you for the lovely video 🤗 I was also frustrated with the Chiaogoo L & S needle/cable situation & then I found out that they did do adapters & that was so helpful. So I purchased a couple of sets & popped them into my needle case etc. I have been very interested in the lantern moon needles & hooks so your review was so helpful. Thank you 🤗

I think you can buy adapters for Chiaogoo cables

These days many of us cant afford to live unfortunately. So being able to use cheaper uarns is great. I did fiind score in value village saturday. Someone donated bunch of 100% Norwegian wool and i found 5 bags of it for under $20 for all !!! Someone bought it in Norway cause labels are all in Norwegian and most of the yarns are now vintage. I felt like in that old ikea commercial whete woman yells at her husband start the car! after finding good sales at ikea lol I looked prices up and if i bought it all new it would cost me in ball park of around 350 cad.

I adore the fact that you’re using more affordable yarns. I’m a new knitter and I’m discovering the value in some of the yarns I’m experimenting with . Your podcast is encouraging me. Your website, btw, is beautiful.

WOW, congratulations on your contract with Mary Maxim. My family lives about 15 minutes from their store in Paris, ON. We sometimes stop in when I'm visiting. So glad you found your direction. I'm not even close to being a designer and I have a hard time deciding on a theme. I have a mish mash of knits that don't go together but that's ok. As long as we enjoy the process! Happy Knitting.

Thanks for this lovely podcast. Your knitwear designs are so classic and look very comfy. I am so behind on my WIP's but this inspiration helps me get through it so I can cast on once again...or twice again...hmmm. Anyway, love your hair cut. I just cut my hair off too and I don't miss it a bit, especially in this heat. Happy Knitting!

I've subscribed because your video is super-clear to watch the knit & purl techniques of the Norwegian style. Am an English style knitter needing a change ... and a challenge😊. Thank you.

yess plz

Do you think carrying another yarn with the Basic Stitch might help? Or maybe a real loose/large gauge would lessen the squeaky decibels? ;)

Have you tried big twist brand ? It is Joann's house brand value acrylic yarn. I feel like it is similar to the pound of love personally but was curious if you would consider getting some for a review. ❤

I love the color of the merino yarn from LB. Not sure about that weight though I'm so used to worsted or DK a fingering to sport weight might give me a run for my money!

Love the bun! We used to have Rex bunnies. So soft and loveable. ❤

I do too! Because I love quilting, I inherited all of my grandma's patterns. Including one that is postage stamp sized pieces. While I haven't made a quilt with it I have made a square. It is so cool. It is from the 1930's.

I would love some hints on holding the yarn tight but not toooo tight. As a lefty that is my main issue now. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

This stitch has been a game changer for me. I do love it. I keep watching the video on repeat lol as a reminder. 😂😂😂

Happy to see you using affordable yarns. I also have a podcast and live in Canada.

I like Carhartt

That's such great news about Mary Maxim! 🙂 So wonderful! I also enjoyed hearing about your design inspiration. Great video!

That's great news with Mary maxim and lb yarn. I like to watch Emily Kate made this. She is iEnglish but lives in germany. She knits a lot of vintage designs and I like that she is real and shows both success and mistakes. Also kutovakika. She is a Fnish knitwear designer. She just had a baby so might not be as active on you tube. She knitted her own wedding dress.

Tee Name Ideas: The Audrey Tee ~ Also, I'm really loving the yarns you shared. 🙂🥰

I love that you are trying to use less expensive yarns. I plan to try one of them for my next sweater.

Beautiful ❤

Hi Kim, I'm so inspired by your video. First, I love your pink Tee, that shade of pink looks amazing on you. Your white Tee is lovely but I agree the ribbed armhole is small, and for me, the scoop neck is too large. It's just my opinion. Otherwise, I love the white Tee so I would encourage you to keep working on it. It's such a classic style. Overall, your designs are classic and so my jam. I'm so not into designing so thank goodness for people like you who love to create patterns. You are such a kind soul and I hope you follow your dreams. Just and FYI, I tried to get on to your candle website but I couldn't get on. I thought the problem was on my end but I'm not sure. I will try again as I adore candles, especially when I'm knitting. Thank you for a great podcast! Irene

Great Video! Love all of your ideas. 🙂

Сразу видно.что это ваш любимец.это ваше счастье

Its also called russian or eastern european knitting. My mom knitted that way back in former Yugoslavia. I just knit through back loop and purl same as you did. With yarn always under needle. Women in russia in olden days created this way of knitting since its very cold there and they needed denser more sturdy fabric so this is how the twisted stitches kniting came about.

Great tutorial! 🎉❤ Thanks!

Hi Kim, your cardigan is so beautiful and I wished I would have applied to test knit, but I will buy the pattern as I have yet to knit a wool and mohair garment. If you are ever short of testers, please let me know. Timelines help me get stuff done, lol. Newt is so precious, as are all animals. His eyes are so sweet and innocent looking. Congratulations on your new candle company and doing this with your kids is amazing!! So happy you and your family are doing well!

Hi Kim, it's Irene from Trenton. Thanks so much for sharing your knitting. I love the red you used for the cardigan. That's my favourite red. I'm slowly catching up on my podcasts, as usual, and am so happy you posted another one (and I love the rooster in the background). I know I'm super late but I also realized that You tube hasn't been sending me any notifications for months. I wore one of my Claudia sweaters today and your email so I thought I'd better look you up to see if you posted anything else or if you took time off to focus on design. The Yarn Butler your husband bought you is amazing, as is your turtleneck in progress. The raglan stitches are so nice. I'll see you in the next one! Happy designing!

Happy to have found your podcast. The vest is so pretty and cute as you said.

Oh. My. Word. What a difference your video has made! I’m a crocheter who is trying to teach myself to knit. I was practicing Russian style, but was still struggling to achieve a smooth hand movement. Norwegian is so much easier! I’m still very rusty and loose, but I believe I’ll get it. Thank you so much!

Does the purl stitch get stretched out? It seems like a lot of slack is needed. I'd like to use it for ribbing bc switching the yarn to the front every other stitch really slows me down

This is my favorite knitting method
