    Can I just say how much I love all of your practical suggestions for styling knitwear! Sharing your ideas on options for different looks really helps us visualize the possibilities.

      Yayyyy! I’m so glad that you’ve found it helpful! As much as I’d love to say I’m the girl who wears the stilettos and slip skirts like you see on Pinterest, I’m in my boots and jeans every day! We gotta make these knits work for us!

    I have a terrible confession. When I first saw you I thought to myself “oh no, she will annoy me to heck”
    Then I watched a bit longer - then I binged everything you’ve done and I was so wrong! You are fabulous!! I love your quirky humour, the little knit emojis at the right points and your way of Looking at things is so zingy and unusual! But at the same time informative and thought provoking!
    So I owe you an humble apology and hope you make a huge success of your channel!
    I will certainly be watching along with every new episode. Thank you!!! ❤

      This is my favorite comment of all time. You’ve made me smile from ear to ear and I genuinely appreciate you sharing this with me! This made me think about the time I met one of my best friends. At first glance, I thought, “this girl looks terribly mean and we will never get along.” After being forced to get to know each other through work, we became inseparable for years! I love a good comeback story! Thank you so so much for giving me a chance and for coming back to hang out! I am so grateful! 💛✨🥰

    I JUST finished a sparkle knit!! I did the Pressed flowers cowl in ALL sparkle yarn ... Sparkle red and Sparkle white flowers (tho the white is less "showy") But this is a great pattern to play with sparkle options (sparkle only the flowers, sparkle only the background, sparkle only the pokadoted sections and so on) .... and had to say a little shout out to the sparkled accessories you gave Ossie at the end 🐶👍

    I wonder if sparkly embroidery would work? With the stellina yarns that don’t have chunky sequins? I’m thinking it could look classy on a pattern like Grinalda (Rosa Pomar). Nora, thanks for your creative interpretations, research and suggestions for ways to style - even though bling isn’t personally my jam, it was a really fun episode to watch!

    • @akaNoraKnits

    It's not sparkle sequins, but my sister has a basic raglan sweater she bought that's a deep pine green yarn with just a touch of gold angelina sparkle in it and it's divine. It reads as just green from afar but when you're close and the light catches it she radiates subtle sparkly gold. It's her favourite Christmas sweater for the office because it looks super professional but it's got that festive spirit to it.
