Nova sweater is cute. Go for it, you can knit any sweater as long as you know what a knit or purl stitch is. There is always tutorials on U tube. Don’t worry 😉 pick one and go Girl you get this!
Thanks for the motivational words!!! I’m more so worried I wouldn’t be able to find a good pairing yarn for the colorwork or I don’t have enough time to finish it before the holidays :(
I just found your channel a few days ago and love your podcast 😊 As a beginner (I've been knitting for a year now) I can totally relate to stitcking with PetiteKnit and other popular designers. I feel like I'm on autopilot with their patterns, I know what to expect and I'm relatively certain that I'll like the end result lol. I'm furiously knitting the Lulu Slipover now, hoping to have enough time to get to a proper holiday sweater. I decided on the Holly Sweater by KFO a while ago, I usually don't like the look of a circular yoke myself, but I just couldn't help myself with this one 🙈 I also keep telling myself that next year I'll knit something more versatile 😅
The holly sweater is so pretty!!! I hope it turns out well. It would be perfect the holidays. Sometimes I knit for the finished object and other times I knit for the process, so sometimes they’re not as versatile too!
I really like your inspo, if you’re open to color work, I’d highly recommend Augustins sweaters by Anne Sophie Velling because her charts are very clear, she also has other interesting sweaters that have cool constructions that would be perfect for the holidays
The nova sweater looks like the colourwork is easy. Not too long floats. I suggest you invest in a 16” neckline cable especially if you intend on continuing knitting. Circular construction is easy. If you can do a raglan, you already have the skills. The increases are just distributed differently. If you make a conscious effort to not pull the colourwork tighter as you go, you’ll find it to be not too hard.
Yes I agree. The tensioning is key! I’m an English style knitting so not sure if the switching between the 2 colour strands will be annoying but I’ll never know unless I try! This would definitely be one of my first color work projects to try though. Been eyeing this pattern for so long…
I’m working on the nova sweater at the minute, on the knitting chart, are the stitches meant to match up with it? For example, on row 2 i did knit knit YO but when I got to the BOR marker, I only had 2 stitches left and couldn’t complete the last YO. Is this normal, I’m new to knitting charts and colour work 😅
Sorry can’t help! I haven’t casted on yet but if I do I’ll definitely film a knitting podcast talking about it! Usually charts are pretty straight forward to follow but I haven’t done colorwork before and only followed charts for lace work and cables! Hopefully your project works out

Omg this is soooo cute. www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/northern-augustins-no-6 that seems a little hard for a first colorwork project though :(

I just added these patterns to my favourites. Have you consider PetiteKnit's Ankers Sweater?
I haven’t but that’s a nice sweater! If u end up knitting it I hope it turns out well!

I won‘t spend any time writing up tubular cast on or bind off. Just link a good video.
