    35 kg of yarn means lots of opportunities 🎉🎉🎉 I love these kinds of videos because yarn collections are beautiful 😍 and keeping track of the yarn helps you make good plans

      I'm so excited for all the things I can make with all the yarn! Keeping track is definitely important to me and makes making plans for my yarn so much easier!

    I have been wanting to go through and organize my stash for a while now. I think this video has given me the motivation to finally do so. Thank you. Happy knitting! Can't what to see you knit your stash into all those beautiful patterns you have planned for them.

    You are amazing, Oline.😊 You inspired and motivated me to organize my stash. You have wonderful plans. I often change my plans after buying yarn (at least 3 times 😂). I love your videos, thank you. 🙏 Best regards 🥰

      Thank you so much❤️ good luck going through your stash. It's so much fun & so inspiring!! I do often end up changing my plans too, at least if they have to wait for months before I get to them, haha

      Hei Oline🌞 I just finished my cleaning, I'm a little shocked.😱 I checked three times, but it's not a mistake. My result is 147 yarns, 610 skeins and 31.5 kg. I bought a large shelf and quite a lot could fit there. Now I walk around and look at them and touch them all the time.😁
      And it's all thanks to you.🙏🥰 Thank you Oline 😊

    I love watching videos like these that "celebrate the yarn collection" as there are so many that try to make you feel guilty for having a yarn stash. I have a large stash as well and use Ravelry to organize. I find it easier this way as I can also export to an excel file and organize the tabs by brand and what color/yarn to buy . 😅 I had to pause the video to admire your porcelain sweater - the contrast detail you added to the ribbing is beautiful.

      I love it too! I think everyone has a stash size that they're comfortable with, and that's different for everyone, so we don't need to make anyone feel bad. For big stashes or small ones! A good way to keep track of all the yarn is definitely a must!
      Thank you! The Porcelain must be one of my absolute favorites!

    I loved this in-depth tour of your stash. Fascinating, and I'm rather impressed with all your plans. Plus I'm looking at your porcelaine sweater and envious as I haven't got round to knitting one yet. Lol.

      Thank you! I'm really inspired and excited now that I've gone through my stash, I can't wait to knit my plans!!
      The Porcelain Sweater is so good!! I really recommend it!

    I wish my stash were that "small" - I think I love to buy yarn nearly as much as I love to knit with it! Happy organizing to you 🙂

    • @norwegianknitter
      @norwegianknitter  6 месяцев назад +1

      Buying yarn is definitely its own hobby, haha! Thank you🥰

    So fun to see your stash. I need to go through my yarn and reorganize. You are a fast knitter. Do you know the quantity you knit in a year? I know some that record on Ravelry can know how much yarn the knit in a year. ❤️❤️❤️

    • @norwegianknitter
      @norwegianknitter  6 месяцев назад

      I love reorganizing my stash!! If only it didn't take so long😅 I use knit¬e to record how much I knit, (17,5kg yarn in 2022 & 19,5kg yarn last year) I love looking at the statistics🥰🙈

    Hi Oline, I really enjoyed this video and feel so inspired seeing all your yarns and hearing all of your well thought-out plans. I love the way you have organized some of your yarns in bags and have them labeled with the projects you plan for them. I also find that pulling out my stash and going through it every once in a while really sparks my creativity and reminds me of all the joy and possibilities that knitting brings. Plus your cat is adorable! My two kitties watched your podcast with me.😺😺

    • @norwegianknitter
      @norwegianknitter  6 месяцев назад

      Hi! Thank you! I'm so glad I got that idea for the baby knits. Now I won't forget my idea for the yarn before I have time to cast on😅🥰
      Going through my stash is my favorite way to spark inspiration! If only it wasn't so time-consuming, haha😅
      How adorable that you watch with your cats🥰 say hi from me!

    I was like this 😮 the entire time! My dream is to get my stash that big some day in the future… I live in NEW YORK and the apartments here are too small, I won’t have space to store them! Thank you I enjoyed watching your videos!

    • @norwegianknitter
      @norwegianknitter  6 месяцев назад

      It's definitely a dream come true to have all this yarn!! I can imagine storage being a problem when living in a tiny apartment😅 Hopefully your dream stash will be a reality in the future!! Thank you❤️

      Thank you!! A well organized stash is just mesmerizing to me🤩🫶🏻 can't wait to look at it and plan even more projects🥰
      Happy knitting!

    Wonderful video 😊
    Great idea to group together knits for different categories! Now I want to knit baby knits too😊
    I love your summer knit plans also, you select beautiful patterns.
    I knit several sophie scarves for Christmas gifts last year. Plus socks and hats. I started Christmas knitting in August and my stop date was a hard December 10th. I got everything shipped out and felt free to knit whatever I desired. This year I have already started my Christmas knitting. But I am still going to stop December 10th.
    You are a talented knitter and so very thoughtful.
    Have a lovely day

    • @norwegianknitter
      @norwegianknitter  6 месяцев назад

      Thank you!! I used quite a lot of time trying to figure out how to store my stash, and I'm really happy with the results!! Can't wait to get started on all of my plans🤩
      Starting Christmas knitting early is so smart of you!! I want to start early this year too! And having a cut-off date is so smart! I think I'm going to steal your way of doing it, haha.
      Thank you so much!
      Have a lovely day!

    I've also been organizing my stash and trying to pick out projects for my yarn. I'm finding myself with a lot of 1 or 2 random hanks of yarn these days from gifts, so trying to knock out some small projects right now. But then I went and ordered some yarn for a baby blanket I want to knit, so I'm not making it any better 😂
    I love how organized the yarn for baby knits are, I think it's a great idea, and I'm going to probably do the same with a lot of my yarn. Thanks for the good ideas!

    • @norwegianknitter
      @norwegianknitter  6 месяцев назад +1

      I'm so bad at using my leftover skeins, especially if it's only 1 or 2😅 I need to do a month of only doing scrap yarn projects sometime soon🙈
      Which baby blanket are you going to knit?
      I'm so pleased with the baby knits idea! Can't wait to add more plans (and knit them😅)

    • @beewitch6747
      @beewitch6747 6 месяцев назад

      @norwegianknitter yeah I'm trying my best to use up what I have. I just get so distracted with bigger projects haha.
      I'm going to knit a blanket on ravelry I saw called the Catnip blanket! Knitting in baby size, but most likely my precious cat will get some good use out of it lol. I just thought the design was so cute and I had some drops nord in my stash, just had to order 3 extra skeins!

  • @CasualKnitter
    @CasualKnitter 6 месяцев назад

    I have also done some spring cleaning in my yarn collection and discovered 160 skeins of yarn! Which is 16 kg of opportunities!

    • @norwegianknitter
      @norwegianknitter  6 месяцев назад

      Yay!! Opportunities with yarn are Mt favorite opportunities🤩

    • @norwegianknitter
      @norwegianknitter  6 месяцев назад

      Thank you❤️ That's why I like having some yarn without a plan, so I can think and change my mind about that yarn, haha. But I do change my mind every now and then for my planned knits too😅

    • @norwegianknitter
      @norwegianknitter  6 месяцев назад +1

    I LOVE stash and planning videos! I have a few knitting friends but none of them are as crazy as me and wouldn't be interested in a two to three hour show and tell. I wish I could invite you over to show you all my yarn 🤣
    I knit my son a Monday sweater in Drops Cotton Merino and it wears and washes great. I definitely prefer wool over plant based yarns but I enjoyed knitting with that yarn and it's a great sweater for spring and fall.
    For a striped sweater for your son have a look at the sibling sweater by Laura Penrose. Also comes in an adult size.

    • @norwegianknitter
      @norwegianknitter  6 месяцев назад

      I love stash and planning videos too!! None of my friends who live nearby knit, so I force my fiancé to sit through a lot of yarn/knitting talk😂 my favorite thing with youtube is being able to share my passion for knitting with like-minded people!!
      Thanks for letting me know your experience with cotton merino! I look even more forward to working with it now!
      I have seen the sibling sweater! And I LOVE the look of it, but it's knit in DK weight, so I I'm pretty sure I don't have enough yarn to make it🥲
