Oh your Wilfreda is so beautiful on you Nancy! And I think you can’t go wrong with either pattern with your May Flowers yarn, sooo pretty! And congratulations on not one but two gorgeous future sock patterns! Fabulous! 🥰🎉
Thank you 🥰 I'm going to have to swatch in stripes and with the yarn held double to make a decision 🤓 I'm looking forward to seeing all of your secret knits❣️
Hey, Nancy, Absolutely in love with your Wilfreda__the yarns, the color combo, the 'not tooo wild' pink! You nailed the fit of both sweaters. Your new rainbow hearts sock pattern is sooo 70's, love it! Gotta get the "Tittygaga" pattern for myself. The pink silk/linen yarn is perfect for the tee pattern you showed__the color/yarn would look fabulous with lighter jeans. The color combo you used for your spun yarn turned out very pretty__I must tell you, I REALLY like all your handspun yarns. Each item you've created with them have showcased the yarns beautifully. 💖 Thank you for another great episode, already looking forward to the next! Love, Light, and Knitty Blessings. 🙏😇✨💫🌱🌿🌻🐝🌳🌎💖🙌😺
Thanks Debra for your lovely feedback❣️ I'm very in love with both of the sweaters and I'm so happy to hear that you like the new socks. It's so encouraging to hear that you like the designs 🧦 That pretty linen needs to get on my needles with Fiddlehead coming up in a month today 😬 Happy knitting and I'll see you soon 🥰
What lovely video. Your Wilfreda is such a radiant colour and really suits you. The Zweig and the Blooming lovely socks are gorgeous too. Those rainbow socks are wow. The colour placement is so well balanced. Hope the dog sitting goes well. 🇬🇧
Thanks for being here again 💕 I'm so happy with both of the sweaters and yes, the rainbow socks are 🌈🌈 It's a bit nerve-wracking the first time I show them off 🤓
Cheers to you Nancy 🍷😘 I love both of your finished sweaters so much! Wilfreda is a huge inspiration to me 😊 Thank you! Both new sock patterns will be such fun, I can already tell❣️ Another fabulous visit, lovely lady 😉
Thank you 🥰 I appreciate you being here with me again 💕 I'm so happy you like the new socks...I know that I like them, but never know how everyone else will like them 🤓
Thank you for a great podcast. Your finished sweaters are beautiful and fit you like a glove. I added the knitting calculator to my Home Screen. Thank you for that. I, too, think the mohair needs to stand alone, so I vote for Elton. Happy Knitting!
It's a pleasure to come and have a chat Debbie 😊 Thanks for the Elton vote...it's definitely in the lead. I think I'm going to swatch in stripes and with the yarn held double 🤔
OMG - all of your FOs are so beautiful!! Love your new sock designs! Absolutely dreamy rainbow 🌈 theme yarn sets! I think those skeins would be such an amazing Wilfreda 🎉 Turtle Purl 🐢 yarns are always just so fabulous! 😊
Congratulations to the winner of the stitch marker necklace !!! What a beautiful and generous gift Nancy! Thankyou for another lovely podcast always so enjoyable ! I am incredibly grateful to you for taking your time to share and inspire us all 💕 I love all of the beautiful things you have knit and your wips you always share the best and most helpful tips I wish my dear husband would wind yarn that’s handy lol see you at FFF til then 🥂
Huge thanks to Jeanette for sending it to me! I feel so lucky to be constantly making new yarnie friends either in person or online. So excited for FFF...see you there!
Such a lot of beautiful content Nancy! I think your rainbow yarn would make a beautiful Elton but it will eventually tell you what it wants to be I think. Enjoy all that you have coming up - a very busy time!🌸
Thanks for spending some time with me 💕 Elton is definitely in the lead, but I think I am going to swatch in stripes and with the yarn held double and see what it says to me 🤓
Hi Nancy, it’s very nice to know your wine business is picking up. The yarn is crying out to be an Elton and the colours are lovely. Congratulations to the winner!
Oh Nancy! I love the Wilfreda colours ❤ The combo for the zweig is also so unusual and cool. As you already have knit the Wilfreda I would knit the Elton. It would make the yarn be the eye catcher I think.
I love both your Zweig, and Wilfreda. The Knit City Toronto rainbow socks and the Tittygaga socks are great designs, way to hit it out of the park Nancy! The Elton would be sublime in the yarn you showed in dream knitting. Salty Air tee in the silken linen will be beautiful, and I cannot wait to see your progress by the next episode. :)
Thank you ❣️ I'm so happy you like the sock designs...I know I like them, but it's great to get other feedback 🥰 Elton is definitely in the lead and I'm keen to see how that yarn knits up, but I must cast on the Salty Air next 🤓
I have special yarn put aside for the Elton. When you held up the May Flowers, I swear that my first thought was "Elton"! My stepson is in the Cdn Armed Forces, also. When he was stationed in Latvia, his then-wife did the same, joined him for a European vacation ❤
Elton is definitely in the lead so far❣️❣️ I was worried it would be too crazy 🤪 Thanks Sandra 💕 They are taking this as their honeymoon for their wedding in August.
Thanks for another great episode! I love the long ones best. You got me through all 4 miles on the treadmill as I watched you and knit rounds on my Tolsta tee.Your makes are beautiful and I look forward to your new patterns! Thank you for sharing your time with us. I liked the new camera settings.
Hi Nancy, beautiful sweaters they look fabulous. Loving the new socks. Congratulations to the winner. The Elton sweater would look lovely in that yarn. Have a wonderful few weeks ❤❤❤
Thanks so much for hanging out with me again 💕 I'm so happy with it and with our Winter coming back again, it looks like I'll be wearing it for a little while yet 🤓
Hi right back Nancy ❣️ Elton is definitely in the lead. I think I'm going to swatch in stripes and with the yarn held double and see how they play together 🤓
Hi Nancy. I love both of your finished sweaters and the fit on you couldn’t be better! You really know how to knit for your body. That’s always my biggest struggle with knitting sweaters for myself but I’m getting better. I would love to see the Elton knit with Amanda’s yarn. I think the mohair would show up so nicely. See you next knit night.
New sock designs are awesome! The rainbow one would be great for Fleece & Harmony’s rainbow sock yarn too. I have some leftover from a shawl. My vote is for Elton.
Adding Wilfreda to the faves! 🙋🏻♀️ Your Zweig is outstanding, makes me want to knit a second one too! We are Thegither sisters Nancy! Your Knit City YYZ design is soooo fab-YOU-lous.. I'm excited to see stranded colourwork in the cuffs. You are continuing to make me a sock knitter!
Hi Leanne 👋 I definitely see another Wilfreda in my future 🤓 I just finished Thegither tonight, so blocking tomorrow and maybe grafting on Monday 🤔 Thank you for the 🌈 sock🌈 love...I'm pretty excited about it !
Congratulations Jo 😊 loved seeing all the beautiful knits on this episode. I am looking forward to the new sock designs. I'm working on the tits up socks at the moment and enjoying every minute of the pattern x
❤morning Nancy!!!!!🎉🎉 Love ur new socks with colorwork!!!!I just did my first colorwork in January!!!!so I am ready for that pair!!! Love that sweater on you!!!! Have fun at the shows!!! Hope to get a few socks in ur knitslong !!!! Elaine 🏠🧦❤️
Morning Elaine❣️ Woo hoo for the colourwork...it's so addictive. Thanks for the sock love 🌈 It's a bit nerve wracking showing it for the first time because I know I love them 🤓
Hi Nancy!! Well I'm not going to say much anything new cause I just saw you last night but I'll say it again!!😂 Your Wilfreda is absolutely scrumptious!! so so so good! and I can't wait to see your Gingersnap done. The details on the cuff ribbing.. looks amazing! I also love the colorwork sock... heck you know I love everything you do! Big hugs my friend, can't wait for Fiddlehead!! Woop!🥰 xox
Thanks so much Lucia 🥰 It's a joy to come and hang out. The Elton is definitely in the lead, but I think I'm going to swatch in stripes and the yarn held double to see what the yarn has to say
It has to be an Elton, because, well, Elton is fabulous!! The socks look absolutely amazing!! Sadly I didn't get a chance to cast on my socks but I did buy your patterns so I intend to rectify my lack of sock knitting this year once I get my knitting for others out of the way :)
I think you're right Linda❣️ I'm going to swatch with the yarns in stripes and the yarns held double because I can't picture how it's going to knit up 🤓
I'm starting to go nerdy on sock structure!. I get a high from doing a "Judy's cast on" and turning heels. I'm on my second pair of socks in less than a month so finally getting on the "sock band wagon"! Love that pink/coral linen silk from YarnIndulgence!
Welcome to deep rabbit hole that is sock knitting 🧦 Happy to have another perfect in there with me. I'm treating myself to the silk tee tomorrow...sigh!!! Can't wait 🤓
😂 when my husband wound yarn for me the same thing happened! I told him I didn’t need softballs 😅 great episode! I love your sweaters and you’ve possibly inspired me to make that Zwieg sweater finally! Cheers!
🤣🤣 I could injure someone with that thing. He told me that I didn't specify how tight to wind it and he is correct 🤓 Thanks Dehnel...I'm in love with both of them 💕
Your finished sweaters are gorgeous! I would suggest knitting the Elton with that yarn. I think the yoke detail will be lost in the Freida. Have a great few weeks until the next podcast!
Both of those sweaters are beautiful. But I think I would do a swatch with the 2 yarns knit together and then another with the yarns striped and then make a decision. You will be able to see how the yarn colours merge and blend better then 😊
Looking forward to April 1. Getting a lavender streak in my hair that day + Tittygaga release! Woo-hoo! I’d opt for the Elton with that yarn, Wilfreda pattern might be lost in that colorful yarn
So fun Claudia 💜 Tittygaga might actually be April 5...I haven't confirmed that yet 🤔 Elton is definitely in the lead and I think going to swatch with it striped and held double.
I love both of the new sock designs and will definitely be buying the rainbow stripes from Gingersnap at Knit City Toronto ! The Elton sweater would be awesome or how about the Rock it Tee with longer sleeves? Same look with the alternating mohair and wool but a summer version As always enjoyed all your projects and had a good laugh. Thank you.
Thanks so much Wendy 💕 I think I'm going to swatch in stripes and with the yarn held double to see what the yarn wants. Rock it is a great suggestion 🤓
Hi Nancy! So happy there's another knitter who watches F1! I was at the Qatar race last year and omg was it bloody hot. So glad they moved the Qatar race to another time of the year. It was too hot last year. It must have been hell inside the cars. The spectators were suffering, so it must have been x100 worse for the drivers. Anyhow, your Zweig came out great!
I can't imagine being crammed in those cars in their suits and helmets in some of the temperatures 🥵 I always have to have something vanilla knitting for the races so I can just let my hands do their thing and focus on the race 🤓
Thanks for the good times as always , Nancy! Good to hear business is picking up but hopefully you'll be able to carve out some knitting time and hide from the paint fumes. I really need to get my hands on the All Sorts yarn....what was that about using stash only (I ask myself) 😎 For the question about the Cast On (Wilfreda vs. Elton)--go with the pattern that makes you excited right now. I will also say as one with the beefy biceps as well, the Elton sleeves fit me, but more snug than I would have preferred. Hope your flowers come up soon without being assaulted by that frozen stuff. 🌻
Thanks for being here again Jessica 💕 Luckily the painting will stop before Archie arrives, because we have to tidy to all the crap on the floor...or Brad does because I will be at the day job 🤓 I think I am leaning towards Elton, because I'd like to see if i can modify it to get the fit I want 🤔 My first is cropped and very boxy. More snow today and tomorrow and then some sunshine hopefully. March is usually a month of my hopes for spring being dashed 🤣 I've lived here for 25 years, you'd think I would learn 😉
Your heel class sounds fantastic! Is there any way that you can turn it into a video tutorial or a blog or something? I would love to hear and see all of your knowledge on the subject! Great FOs and beautiful designs in Design Chat. I also thought the tri-color cowl was amazing. What a neat idea! Happy knitting!🧶❤️🧶❤️🧶
Thanks for letting me know that your interested in the heel info...I will see it goes and see what I can do 🤓 I'm going to finish up that cowl and get it blocked on Sunday, I hope 🤞
Oh, I’m so happy I stumbled upon your knitting podcast, it’s so inspiring. So now I definitely have to follow 😊 I’m doing a little podcasting my self and think is so much fun. I would definitely go with the Elton pullover since the lovely pattern in the other one (sorry right now I can’t remember the name) will be too invisible in your speckled yarn. I love the yarn it’s so beautiful.
Thank you for spending some time with me 💕 Whats the name of your channel Charlotte? I'm going to swatch in stripes and with the yarn held double to see what the yarn wants to be 🤓
Hi Nancy- my vote is for the Elton CARDIGAN not the pullover. I just think it would be so pretty especially over solid coloured tee shirts in the spring and summer. Or even over anything white. I'm attracted to cardigans myself as I think they are easier to fit but you are the expert on fitting so that wouldn't be a problem for you. That's my 2 cents worth.
just realised I hadn't finished watching this! have you considered Joji's new Milton? Elton with set in sleeves, a-line long line cardi but easy enough to shorten if you don't have enough yarn? The colours you have are gorgeous, wouldn't miss you in a crowd 😂
Thanks Amanda ❣️ Milton has been mentioned a few times, so I'm going to swatch in stripes and with the yarn held double to see what the yarn wants to be 🤓 I hope you're resting!!
Nancy, I went on a hunt through Danish Musings podcast remembering that she knit a sweater by Aegyoknit with mohair/ wool stripes. It’s called Sook Moon Sweater-top down, raglan but similar stripes to Elton- maybe check it out for your oh so beautiful mohair and fingering yarn. So many beautiful sweaters and socks today. I am just finishing a pair of modified for DK Let’s Stay Home Socks since I totally failed at the Njord docks-wrong yarn, wrong size needles, then dropped stitches- after three rips, I change my plan. Lol!
Fun episode. I think that yarn would do well in either pattern but not sure if the yoke pattern would get lost a little in the Wilfreda. What about the Tankard Tee you've made ? Have fun puppy sitting. I absolutely love both of your new patterns coming out. Have a great 3 weeks.
Thanks so much Sharon 🥰 I think I'm going to swatch with the yarn held double and in stripes to see what the yarn has to say 🤓 Archie may make an appearance in the next episode 😬
Hello Nancy! Thank you for keeping me company with my morning knitting! Your sweaters are beautiful and I agree the bright colors really suit you as you are sparkling while wearing them. I love the rainbow sock and cannot wait to snag a set from Kim in Toronto. Are you coming to Toronto to Knit City too? Take care and happy knitting! 💜
Morning Kelly ❣️ As you know, it's such a pleasure to come and chat all of the yarny goodness 🧶 I am so happy with both of the sweaters and with more and more snow coming for us, it looks like I'll be wearing them for a little while yet. And I will be at Knit City with my friend Deborah Yarn Indulgences. I am her booth buddy, so I am very easy to find 🤓 Can't wait to "meet" you in real life
I think you should make Elton, but because you don't care for drop shoulders (like me), have you considered Milton by Joji? It also has the mohair stripes and has set in sleeves, but is a long line cardie. That's what I'm knitting at the moment and loving the look.
Thanks for the Milton recommendation ❣️ Are you knitting the longline? I'm going to do some research on the Ravelry project pages and see if I could make it work shortened. Are you using fingering or sport for the main colour 🤔
Bah humbug, I hate rainbows… lol kidding kind of, I love moody rainbows, n jewel toned rainbows…it’s probably that I’m a cool toned junkie. All that said, that’s the bestest most glorious set of rainbow colorwork socks I’ve EVER seen in my life!!! I’d probably do the broken or rave set, but holy cow that’s lovely! Congrats on the boob socks, and make another willheim? Wilhamena? Not the joji (tho I love her); you know u want to ;)
Bah humbug 🤣🤣 Rainbow isn't my default either, but the colours are just so vivid and fun 🌈 Still pondering the sweater which is a good thing because the linen tee needs to get going soon 😎
Your Wilfreda & Zweig sweaters look fabulous on you. I'm a big fan of both Gingerbread & Gingersnap, such a great wee stitch pattern on cuffs & hem. Like you I'm not a huge fan of drop shoulders with lots of fabric in body of sweater. Have you looked at Joji's Milton cardigan? She says Milton is a brother to the Elton combo. I'm currently knitting Milton with a group of friends as a Joji KAL. Has lovely shoulder & neck shaping. Otherwise your beautiful yarn would look great in another Wilfreda.
Love the All sorts colours. Such fun. You should use that beautiful wool into a Wilfreda. I’ve enjoyed knitting two pairs of socks using your patterns. Where do you get your sock blockers?
Hi Brit 💕 Thanks for your Wilfreda vote...I'm going to swatch in stripes and with the yarn held double to see what they look like. I'm sonhaopy to hear that you've enjoyed your socks 🧦 The plastic blockers are from Knit Picks online shop. The metal ones I got from Laviolette, when they were open 🤓
I'm a little late to the show but I'd knit the Elton. Love the yarns for the giveaway! I hope I can finish my 2nd pair in time (unless we can enter unfinished socks if we don't have time to finish?)
Elton is definitely in the lead! I'm planning to swatch in stripes and with the yarn held double to see 🤓 Definitely enter your almost finished socks 🧦 I'm going to do a little minisode tomorrow as a reminder about the KAL and to show off the gorgeous prizes 🎁
Thank you Klaske 🥰 I don't have a Ravelry group for the KAL, so you can tag me on Instagram, share on Facebook or send me an email with your entry. All of those places are linked below the video in the description box 🤓
Goodness! Can't believe I've won such a beautiful prize. Thank you x
Congratulations Joy! 🎉
Woo hoo Joy 🎉🎉 I'm so glad it's going to be enjoyed 🥰
Joy,
Hope you will 'bee' happy wearing your new necklace! 😛 🙏😇✨💫🌱🌿🌻🐝🌳🌎💖🙌😺
Congratulations- such a beautiful prize 🌸🐝
NANCY ...the sock design is fanfriggintastic ...thank you so much
I'm so glad you love it Kim! The colours just pop 🌈
Love your Rainbow Heart socks!
Thanks Pam 🌈
I love your podcasts, your sense of humor, and your designs.. 🩷
Thank you Rosemary...that's so kind of you to say 💕
Congratulations to Joy! And congratulations Nancy on making so many beautiful garments and socks!
Thanks so much Beverley 🥰 It was so great to get the sweaters off the needles so that I can enjoy wearing them❣️
Great new sock designs!! Beautiful sweaters!! And gorgeous yarns!! I vote for the Elton with the yarn you showed. Enjoyed!!
Congrats Joy!!🙌🏼🎉🙌🏼
Thank you for the sock love...I'm never sure until it goes put into the world. I know I like them 🤪 Elton is definitely in the lead so far 🤓
Congratulations Joy..🐝Love your Wilfreda
Thank you Beverley...me too! It's so fun in that colour 💗
Oh your Wilfreda is so beautiful on you Nancy! And I think you can’t go wrong with either pattern with your May Flowers yarn, sooo pretty! And congratulations on not one but two gorgeous future sock patterns! Fabulous! 🥰🎉
Thank you 🥰 I'm going to have to swatch in stripes and with the yarn held double to make a decision 🤓 I'm looking forward to seeing all of your secret knits❣️
WILFREDA, WILFREDA, WILFREDA. It will look amazing in that yarn.
🤣🤣 Thanks for your vote Sheila!! I think I'm going to swatch in stripes and the yarn held double and see what speaks to me 🤓
Hey, Nancy,
Absolutely in love with your Wilfreda__the yarns, the color combo, the 'not tooo wild' pink! You nailed the fit of both sweaters.
Your new rainbow hearts sock pattern is sooo 70's, love it! Gotta get the "Tittygaga" pattern for myself.
The pink silk/linen yarn is perfect for the tee pattern you showed__the color/yarn would look fabulous with lighter jeans.
The color combo you used for your spun yarn turned out very pretty__I must tell you, I REALLY like all your handspun yarns. Each item you've created with them have showcased the yarns beautifully. 💖
Thank you for another great episode, already looking forward to the next!

I think that yarn would be beautiful in the Elton. And I love the idea that your husband is helping make magic knot ball....that is awsome.
Thanks for your vote Mary❣️ Elton is definitely in the lead 🤓 I think he enjoyed the process and I need to find some more scraps for him 😊
Lovely to spend my evening with you, Nancy! Since you ask, I vote for Wilfreda. 😊
Thanks for hanging out with me Kathleen 💕 Thanks for the Wilfreda vote...I think I'm going to swatch in stripes and with the yarns held double 🤓

Hi Nancy. Beautiful sweaters as always! My first thought when you showed your Wilfreda was that it was a fabulous length on you.
Thanks so much Shelley 🥰 I love it a lot❣️❣️

Big round of applause over here Nancy 👏👏 Thanks for the camera feedback...I thought the colours were much more like real life 🌈
I meant to say, the sweater you are wearing fits you so perfectly! It gives you a really lovely shape.
Thank you ❣️ I didn't do my usual a-line shaping on either of them, but the redistribution of stitches fits me really well. I'm very happy 😊
Another lovely episode, Nancy :) You always give me loads of inspiration and a chuckle 🥰
Thank you 💗 I'm looking forward to seeing snippets of your trip tomorrow. I'm knitting and having a pj day 🤓
Thanks for the decease rate tool. Lovely projects. I enjoy your helpful details and willingness to share what works on your body.

Thank you 😊
Lovely new sock patterns. That mohair is spectacular. Needs to be seen by itself in the Elton. Thanks for sharing. Take Care.
Thanks so much Donna 🥰 Elton is definitely the leader, but I think I'm going to swatch in stripes and with then yarns held double 🤓
Lovely podcast Nancy. The Zweig looks beautiful on you and fits perfectly 😍
Thanks so much for hanging out with me again 💕 I'm so happy with it and with our Winter coming back again, it looks like I'll be wearing it for a little while yet 🤓
Hi Nancy! My vote is for an Elton, I think a tonal Wilfreda would be nice. Your knitting is just beautiful!!
Hi right back Nancy ❣️ Elton is definitely in the lead. I think I'm going to swatch in stripes and with the yarn held double and see how they play together 🤓
Hi Nancy. I love both of your finished sweaters and the fit on you couldn’t be better! You really know how to knit for your body.

Thanks Pamela 💗💙 I'm so happy with it 🤓

I definitely see another Wilfreda in my future 🤓 I just finished Thegither tonight, so blocking tomorrow and maybe grafting on Monday 🤔
Thank you for the 🌈 sock🌈 love...I'm pretty excited about it !
@@knitsiphappy also couldn't help but chuckle at Oscar the cat...he knows the buttons to push haha.
I'd make the Wilfreda from that lovely yarn. But then again I like wild colours in my yarn. Ooo and that silk and linen yarn is stunning!
I think I'm going to swatch with the yarns held double and striped and see what looks best. I can't wait to see what it looks like 🤓
What a lovely episode! I’d vote for Elton!
Thank you Tammy 🥰 Elton is definitely in the lead 🤓
Love the colours you chose for Thegither cowl - simply gorgeous!
Thank you ❣️ I'm always relieved when 3 colours play nicely together
I so enjoy your podcasts. Looking forward to the new patterns.
Thank you 🥰 That's very kind of you to say ❣️

Oh Nancy, that would make a gorgeous Wilfreda!!! It's so you!! 💚
I think I'm going to have to swatch to see which way I like the yarn better...single for stripes or held double 🤔
Hi Nancy!! Well I'm not going to say much anything new cause I just saw you last night but I'll say it again!!😂 Your Wilfreda is absolutely scrumptious!! so so so good! and I can't wait to see your Gingersnap done. The details on the cuff ribbing.. looks amazing! I also love the colorwork sock... heck you know I love everything you do! Big hugs my friend, can't wait for Fiddlehead!! Woop!🥰 xox
Helloooo 👋 Can't wait to see your Zweig in person in 20 days 😃 Happy knitting and I hope it keeps you sane 🤓😬
Love your Zweig! That blue!
Thank you 💙 That blue was what I picked first and then I was trying to find something to go with it 🤓
Love both your sweaters, but the colour of Wilfreda is something else😍. Love your rainbow heart socks! So beautiful!!
Isn't it amazing what those 2 yarns produced?!? Thank you for your lovely feedback 😊
Thank you for the episode 😊💕🌻
It's a pleasure to come and have a chat 😊 Thanks for hanging out with me 💕
Elton all the way. I just finished the Milton. cardigan which is just a long shaped sleeve shawl collar version. You should look into it.
Thanks Jenn!!! I'll definitely look at Milton and Elton is very much in the lead in the votes so far 🤓
I love the colours off your wilfreda ❤
Didn't they pair up beautifully 😍 Thank you 💕
Your FO’s are beautiful! I think you should make the Elton. Looking forward to your new designs! Take care, Terry
Thanks so much Terry 💕 Elton is definitely in the lead so far 🤓
i vote for the Elton !! Gorgeous yarn !!!
Elton is definitely in the lead 🤓 I think I'm going to swatch in stripes and with the yarn held double and see if that helps make the decision 🤔
I would do the Elton sweater! Enjoyed the episode as always great makes!
Thanks so much Lucia 🥰 It's a joy to come and hang out. The Elton is definitely in the lead, but I think I'm going to swatch in stripes and the yarn held double to see what the yarn has to say
It has to be an Elton, because, well, Elton is fabulous!!
The socks look absolutely amazing!! Sadly I didn't get a chance to cast on my socks but I did buy your patterns so I intend to rectify my lack of sock knitting this year once I get my knitting for others out of the way :)
Haha!!! Elton is definitely in the lead 🤓 Thank you so much 🥰 #neverenoughsocks 😉
I would chose the Elton sweater because I think the lace would be obscured with that gorgeous yarn on the Wilfreda.
I think you're right Linda❣️ I'm going to swatch with the yarns in stripes and the yarns held double because I can't picture how it's going to knit up 🤓
Oooh-that Dr Who Felici is very pretty!
I'm knitting with that yarn right now and enjoying it 🤓
I'm starting to go nerdy on sock structure!. I get a high from doing a "Judy's cast on" and turning heels. I'm on my second pair of socks in less than a month so finally getting on the "sock band wagon"! Love that pink/coral linen silk from YarnIndulgence!
Welcome to deep rabbit hole that is sock knitting 🧦 Happy to have another perfect in there with me. I'm treating myself to the silk tee tomorrow...sigh!!! Can't wait 🤓
😂 when my husband wound yarn for me the same thing happened! I told him I didn’t need softballs 😅 great episode! I love your sweaters and you’ve possibly inspired me to make that Zwieg sweater finally! Cheers!
🤣🤣 I could injure someone with that thing. He told me that I didn't specify how tight to wind it and he is correct 🤓 Thanks Dehnel...I'm in love with both of them 💕
Your Wilfreda is gorgeous!!!
Thank you Anne 🥰 Looks like I'll be wearing it for a little but yet 🥶
Your finished sweaters are gorgeous! I would suggest knitting the Elton with that yarn. I think the yoke detail will be lost in the Freida. Have a great few weeks until the next podcast!
Thank you Jacquie❣️ Elton is definitely in the lead 🤓
Both of those sweaters are beautiful. But I think I would do a swatch with the 2 yarns knit together and then another with the yarns striped and then make a decision. You will be able to see how the yarn colours merge and blend better then 😊
Definitely a good idea Alison because I am struggling to picture how this yarn is going to look. It's a pretty bright colour 😎
Your FOs are stunning! I just finished my first Njord sock and will CO the second when our kitten is Not nearby! Happy Knitting!🧶 😊
Thank you Lynn 🥰 Haha...oh I'm sure your kitten would love it have a little play with your yarn 🤓
Looking forward to April 1. Getting a lavender streak in my hair that day + Tittygaga release! Woo-hoo! I’d opt for the Elton with that yarn, Wilfreda pattern might be lost in that colorful yarn
So fun Claudia 💜 Tittygaga might actually be April 5...I haven't confirmed that yet 🤔 Elton is definitely in the lead and I think going to swatch with it striped and held double.
I’d love to see you knit the Elton with the sweet skein o’mine yarn!
Thank you❣️ Elton is definitely in the lead so far 🤓
An Elton for sure. Would love to see how that yarn knits up in that pattern.🙂
Thanks for the vote Lisa❣️ Elton is definitely in the lead, but I think I'm going to swatch in the stripes and with the yarn held double 🤓
sweaters are so pretty and that basket! wowzers
Doris-Ann hit it out of the park...it's perfect 👌
I love both of the new sock designs and will definitely be buying the rainbow stripes from Gingersnap at Knit City Toronto ! The Elton sweater would be awesome or how about the Rock it Tee with longer sleeves? Same look with the alternating mohair and wool but a summer version
As always enjoyed all your projects and had a good laugh. Thank you.
Thanks so much Wendy 💕 I think I'm going to swatch in stripes and with the yarn held double to see what the yarn wants. Rock it is a great suggestion 🤓
Hi Nancy! So happy there's another knitter who watches F1! I was at the Qatar race last year and omg was it bloody hot. So glad they moved the Qatar race to another time of the year. It was too hot last year. It must have been hell inside the cars. The spectators were suffering, so it must have been x100 worse for the drivers. Anyhow, your Zweig came out great!
I can't imagine being crammed in those cars in their suits and helmets in some of the temperatures 🥵 I always have to have something vanilla knitting for the races so I can just let my hands do their thing and focus on the race 🤓
@@knitsiphappy I also stick to easy knitting when I watch a sport event, otherwise I sit and tink more than knit lol
💯
I love that sweater on you
Thanks Marie 💕
Elton 👍
Thanks Denise 🥰 I appreciate the vote 🤓
Thanks for the good times as always , Nancy! Good to hear business is picking up but hopefully you'll be able to carve out some knitting time and hide from the paint fumes. I really need to get my hands on the All Sorts yarn....what was that about using stash only (I ask myself) 😎 For the question about the Cast On (Wilfreda vs. Elton)--go with the pattern that makes you excited right now. I will also say as one with the beefy biceps as well, the Elton sleeves fit me, but more snug than I would have preferred. Hope your flowers come up soon without being assaulted by that frozen stuff. 🌻
Thanks for being here again Jessica 💕 Luckily the painting will stop before Archie arrives, because we have to tidy to all the crap on the floor...or Brad does because I will be at the day job 🤓 I think I am leaning towards Elton, because I'd like to see if i can modify it to get the fit I want 🤔 My first is cropped and very boxy. More snow today and tomorrow and then some sunshine hopefully. March is usually a month of my hopes for spring being dashed 🤣 I've lived here for 25 years, you'd think I would learn 😉
Definitely Wilfreda Nancy
Thanks Emma❣️ I think I'm going to swatch with the yarn held double and striped and see which one I like more 🤓
Your heel class sounds fantastic! Is there any way that you can turn it into a video tutorial or a blog or something? I would love to hear and see all of your knowledge on the subject! Great FOs and beautiful designs in Design Chat. I also thought the tri-color cowl was amazing. What a neat idea! Happy knitting!🧶❤️🧶❤️🧶
Thanks for letting me know that your interested in the heel info...I will see it goes and see what I can do 🤓 I'm going to finish up that cowl and get it blocked on Sunday, I hope 🤞
Those new socks are both amazing as well as your sweaters. Hoping to be able to fit your class in at the Fiddlehead Fibre fest
Thank you Sharon 🥰 I can't wait for Fiddlehead 🤓
Oh, I’m so happy I stumbled upon your knitting podcast, it’s so inspiring. So now I definitely have to follow 😊
I’m doing a little podcasting my self and think is so much fun.
I would definitely go with the Elton pullover since the lovely pattern in the other one (sorry right now I can’t remember the name) will be too invisible in your speckled yarn. I love the yarn it’s so beautiful.
Thank you for spending some time with me 💕 Whats the name of your channel Charlotte?
I'm going to swatch in stripes and with the yarn held double to see what the yarn wants to be 🤓
Great podcast as usual 👍
Thanks so much Barbara...that is lovely of you to say 🥰
I would knit the Elton sweater with that beautiful Dream knitting yarn! Sorry probably not what you want to hear😂
Elton is definitely in the lead 🤓 I think I'm going to be doing a swatch in the stripes and with the yarn held double 🧶
Hi Nancy- my vote is for the Elton CARDIGAN not the pullover. I just think it would be so pretty especially over solid coloured tee shirts in the spring and summer. Or even over anything white. I'm attracted to cardigans myself as I think they are easier to fit but you are the expert on fitting so that wouldn't be a problem for you. That's my 2 cents worth.
Thank you Marilyn❣️ I appreciate your vote for Elton and your 2 cents 🤓
just realised I hadn't finished watching this! have you considered Joji's new Milton? Elton with set in sleeves, a-line long line cardi but easy enough to shorten if you don't have enough yarn? The colours you have are gorgeous, wouldn't miss you in a crowd 😂
Thanks Amanda ❣️ Milton has been mentioned a few times, so I'm going to swatch in stripes and with the yarn held double to see what the yarn wants to be 🤓 I hope you're resting!!
Nancy, I went on a hunt through Danish Musings podcast remembering that she knit a sweater by Aegyoknit with mohair/ wool stripes. It’s called Sook Moon Sweater-top down, raglan but similar stripes to Elton- maybe check it out for your oh so beautiful mohair and fingering yarn. So many beautiful sweaters and socks today. I am just finishing a pair of modified for DK Let’s Stay Home Socks since I totally failed at the Njord docks-wrong yarn, wrong size needles, then dropped stitches- after three rips, I change my plan. Lol!
Thanks for the hunting for me❣️❣️ I like that a lot with a raglan instead of drop shoulder. I love your DK modification 🤩 That's a great pivot 🤓
I love Brunello 🎉
Me too 🍷🍷😎
Fun episode. I think that yarn would do well in either pattern but not sure if the yoke pattern would get lost a little in the Wilfreda. What about the Tankard Tee you've made ? Have fun puppy sitting. I absolutely love both of your new patterns coming out. Have a great 3 weeks.
Thanks so much Sharon 🥰 I think I'm going to swatch with the yarn held double and in stripes to see what the yarn has to say 🤓 Archie may make an appearance in the next episode 😬
Hello Nancy! Thank you for keeping me company with my morning knitting! Your sweaters are beautiful and I agree the bright colors really suit you as you are sparkling while wearing them. I love the rainbow sock and cannot wait to snag a set from Kim in Toronto. Are you coming to Toronto to Knit City too? Take care and happy knitting! 💜
Morning Kelly ❣️ As you know, it's such a pleasure to come and chat all of the yarny goodness 🧶 I am so happy with both of the sweaters and with more and more snow coming for us, it looks like I'll be wearing them for a little while yet.
And I will be at Knit City with my friend Deborah Yarn Indulgences. I am her booth buddy, so I am very easy to find 🤓 Can't wait to "meet" you in real life
Ooh I just love your beautiful Wilfreda! I have plans to start one soon too tho I have a lot of wips on my needles right now…
Thank you Monica...I'm in love 💗 I highly recommend it 🤓
Gurl, everything as always is amazing. Loving LOOVVEING the rainbow heart socks. Pls tell us ur publishing the pattern after knit city.
You've made me smile Lacie 😃 Thank you and yes all of the collaborations will be available on May 18, I think, but I'll let you know for sure 🤓
Elton is my vote.
Lots of votes for Elton...he's miles ahead 😎 Thanks Noreen 💗
I think you should make Elton, but because you don't care for drop shoulders (like me), have you considered Milton by Joji? It also has the mohair stripes and has set in sleeves, but is a long line cardie. That's what I'm knitting at the moment and loving the look.
Thanks for the Milton recommendation ❣️ Are you knitting the longline? I'm going to do some research on the Ravelry project pages and see if I could make it work shortened. Are you using fingering or sport for the main colour 🤔
Bah humbug, I hate rainbows… lol kidding kind of, I love moody rainbows, n jewel toned rainbows…it’s probably that I’m a cool toned junkie. All that said, that’s the bestest most glorious set of rainbow colorwork socks I’ve EVER seen in my life!!! I’d probably do the broken or rave set, but holy cow that’s lovely! Congrats on the boob socks, and make another willheim? Wilhamena? Not the joji (tho I love her); you know u want to ;)
Bah humbug 🤣🤣 Rainbow isn't my default either, but the colours are just so vivid and fun 🌈 Still pondering the sweater which is a good thing because the linen tee needs to get going soon 😎
Your Wilfreda & Zweig sweaters look fabulous on you. I'm a big fan of both Gingerbread & Gingersnap, such a great wee stitch pattern on cuffs & hem. Like you I'm not a huge fan of drop shoulders with lots of fabric in body of sweater. Have you looked at Joji's Milton cardigan? She says Milton is a brother to the Elton combo. I'm currently knitting Milton with a group of friends as a Joji KAL. Has lovely shoulder & neck shaping. Otherwise your beautiful yarn would look great in another Wilfreda.
Thanks for the Milton recommendation 🤓 Are you doing it long length? I'm going to check Ravelry for shorter versions.
Wilfreda 😊
Thanks for your vote 💕 I think I'm going to have to swatch with the yarns held double and striped to see which I prefer 🤓
Have you thought of True Nature pullover? I made one and it turned out great. Fingering weight hand dyed.
That's very pretty! I just popped that in my library 🤓
Love the All sorts colours. Such fun. You should use that beautiful wool into a Wilfreda.
I’ve enjoyed knitting two pairs of socks using your patterns. Where do you get your sock blockers?
Hi Brit 💕 Thanks for your Wilfreda vote...I'm going to swatch in stripes and with the yarn held double to see what they look like.
I'm sonhaopy to hear that you've enjoyed your socks 🧦 The plastic blockers are from Knit Picks online shop. The metal ones I got from Laviolette, when they were open 🤓
The Elton.
Thank you❣️ Elton is definitely in the lead and I can't wait to see how that yarn knits up 🤓
I'm a little late to the show but I'd knit the Elton.
Love the yarns for the giveaway! I hope I can finish my 2nd pair in time (unless we can enter unfinished socks if we don't have time to finish?)
Elton is definitely in the lead! I'm planning to swatch in stripes and with the yarn held double to see 🤓 Definitely enter your almost finished socks 🧦 I'm going to do a little minisode tomorrow as a reminder about the KAL and to show off the gorgeous prizes 🎁
Nancy your finished knits are beautiful. Where on Ravelry can I find your sock knit along?
Thank you Klaske 🥰 I don't have a Ravelry group for the KAL, so you can tag me on Instagram, share on Facebook or send me an email with your entry. All of those places are linked below the video in the description box 🤓
