      I love Noro, and I fob’s get to knit with it nearly enough. Although I fear I won’t be casting on for a while. Good luck on the MKAL!

      This is my first SW MKAL. I'm super nervous. The past MKAL's are so knitting intensive.

    • @knotfancyknitter
      @knotfancyknitter  2 года назад

      Don’t worry too much! I’m going to try to keep up, but if it doesn’t happen it doesn’t happen. It is still fun

  • @RosemondeKnits

      I love this yarn! I hope it’s ok that it’s a single ply. I am so excited to see how it knits up

    I just finished a baby sweater and beanie. The sweater is the Gidday sweater and the beanie is quick ombré hat. Both were super easy and free patterns. Your shawl choices are fabulous. I have FOMO for the MKAL, but have too many projects going to make it happen.

    • @knotfancyknitter
      @knotfancyknitter  2 года назад

      I does kind of push your other projects aside! Thanks so much for watching. I will have to check out those patterns. I always love a free pattern!

  • @CkDutchess
    @CkDutchess 2 года назад

    I was initially disappointed when you decided not to use the purple/grey combo, but you chose such gorgeous colors! I can’t wait to see how they work up together. 💜💜💜

    • @knotfancyknitter

      Let’s see if I can get this thing cast on! I hope everything goes ok

    @SuzKnits 2 года назад

    Ive just finished a neckline where picking up stitches was involved ... I can relate to your issue of having to recount and adjust until you had the right number lol.

    • @knotfancyknitter
      @knotfancyknitter  2 года назад

      I didn’t even fix it before the MKAL. I guess that’s a problem for November at this point! 😆

  • @Preciousknits7916
    @Preciousknits7916 2 года назад

    Hello from south suburbs of Chicago. Love what you are doing with your dyed yarns and I think a pale pink would be neutral enough for the dot pullover that would accentuate the noro. I'm doing the west Mkal as well so I can't wait to see your colors evolve. Have you been to yarnify, they have a nice selection of yarns too. Happy knitting and thanks for sharing.

    • @knotfancyknitter
      @knotfancyknitter  2 года назад

      Yes! I have been to tarnish. They have a great selection. Their new space is lovely. Good luck with the MKAL

    • @knotfancyknitter
      @knotfancyknitter  2 года назад

      I know!! It is enormous. I am dying over here - but I also love how it is knitting up

  • @nancymorgan5505
    @nancymorgan5505 2 года назад

    I find it funny that you said your going to your LYS to buy a deeper pinky/red color which to me is a lot like the third one you dyed!

    • @knotfancyknitter
      @knotfancyknitter  2 года назад

      I know!! I got close to what I was looking for, but the one I dyed up was too purple for my taste. I love the one I found, and so far it’s knitting up so nicely!

  • @gwendolenshepard9124
    @gwendolenshepard9124 2 года назад +1

    I'm mixing up my choices that may make people cringe, but I'm working on a super limited budget. My yarn is a light grey, 2 different skeins of a pink ( one fuscia one a deep pink) and a deep color for the accent that has streaks of all the other colors. Sorry I'm not sure how to spell fuschia.

    • @knotfancyknitter
      @knotfancyknitter  2 года назад +1

      I think that sounds beautiful! One of the best parts of the MKAL is seeing everyone else’s color choices. Good luck!

    I am jealous for those who have lots of time to knit! How many hours do you typically knit a day?

    • @knotfancyknitter
      @knotfancyknitter  2 года назад

      I knit for an hour in the morning before I wake the kids up for school, before bed as much as I can stay awake, and whenever I am sitting around in school pickup line or activities (ballet, swimming, etc). It really adds up 😊
