Can we just take a moment to recognize and appreciate ALL of the adorable little artistic detailing that goes into Nora's videos!?! All these cute little cutouts of yarn in the colors she's using and the super cute Osi that pops up and just all the little details that just add to her videos. I love it! The Ranunculus turned out beautiful!!! I can't wait to see the finished vest too!!! You are so inspiring and fun to watch.
Thank you so so so much 🥰 I enjoy editing the videos with all of the flair, so I am just glad that you guys enjoy it too! Thank you so much 🥰
I’ve been thinking the same thing!
@@akaNoraKnitsagree it’s amazing and so fun ❤❤❤
Definitely agree with you! Nora is very refreshing & fun to watch!
I agree!! And how fun is Nora's Byeeee!!!! at the end. Love it!!
You are such a beautiful person! Your episodes are top notch! ❤ Thanks for all you do!
Thank you so so much 🥰
OMG the knitting police graphic and sound... ❣️ 🧶🚔😅
😂😂😂😂 it will make a regular appearance I think!
My 16 month old heard your intro and ran to the phone. He thought you were Ms Rachel! Apparently she’s all the rage with the toddlers.
Oh my goodness 😂😂😂😂 what a compliment!!!!
Now that’s adorable, little people are such awesome judges of character 💐
I uses one of those water swim noodle thingys to block sleeves. No creases
So smart!!!
Great idea…thanks for sharing!
Love the Minnie Mouse voice and all the cartoon edits. Really enjoyed your video.
Thank you so much!! 🥰
I enjoy your podcast so much with your joyful enthusiasm! I can’t believe you have only been knitting for a relatively short time and you have so much knowledge and are a productive knitter too. I can’t wait to see how the vest turns out.
Thank you so much 🥰
WOW - it’s like the worlds most elegant long-sleeved tee! You truly did nail it. Now I want a sweater in that yarn!
Yayyy! Exactly what I was going for! Perfect for transitional seasons!
Hi there! I just found your channel this morning. Love it!!! I can’t believe you’ve been knitting less than a year! Your work is beautiful. I’ve been knitting about five years now and I also don’t have any knitting friends near me. That’s why I watch RUclips knitters! 🧶😊❤
Thank you so much!!! It's nice to hang out, even virtually! 💛
Thank you so much for posting this video! It was one of many that I watched when I was preparing to make my own Ranunculus. I'm a very beginner knitter as in the only things I have ever knit before were scarves, and your video helped give me confidence that I could do it. I went with the short sleeve option, BO as I split for the body, then I did 9 rounds of 1x1 ribbing before using that same bind off for the bottom hem. As much as I despise the German Short Rows, I really love the effect that it has on the garment.
You have such a talent for modeling!
Oh my thank you 🥰 there are many awkward photos that don’t make the cut!
You going full chipmunk trying on the neckline sent me! 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
You totally win! I love picturing you prancing though the forest in heels and your gorgeous sweater. Yay!!!! Love the Ranunculus review.
🙄Ok so your first this week lmao xoxo
😂😂😂😂
Thank you!!! I have no issue being that person 😂
Your Ranunculus is amazing! It looks so great on you; I’m not surprised you got compliments the first day wearing it.
The vest looks so intriguing. I can’t wait to see it finished.
Congratulations 🎉 on 4K subscribers. Your videos are so much fun and just adorable 🥰. Happy knitting 💚🧶💚
🌴☀️soooo my comments aren’t posting for some reason…this is my third try😫
So happy to see you 💃🏽and look at that Ranunculus in all of her glory!🎉 it finished beautifully Nora WOW! The sleeves 👚are lovely, I did the same & was my spooky stitch (never did an I-cord bind off on a sleeve) but glad I tried it!
Your IG photos are magazine worthy so beautiful, organic & all Nora🌹. My version has a strand of mohair😳 gets everywhere while knitting AAAAND wearing, feels great…massive nuisance, 7:26 I was crying 😂 laughing
About your wip, with the hand dyed yarn reminded me of a pattern I found to use up some of that yarn it’s called Sorrel by Wool & Pine, I think it’ll look flattering on our body type & comes in summer or fall/winter patterns.
Would you make another Ranunculus?, I’m definitely going too, but more like yours with negative ease instead of oversized. Thanks jfor another awesome video🌹, I miss ya already & going to watch again. Have a great week and hug OSI 🐶 for me tks☀️🌴
👑 technology 😅 thank youuu! Isn’t that little I-cord so fun?! Thank you so so much, we have so much fun taking them! I shall look into the Sorrel! I would definitely consider making a summer version of the ranunculus! I’m trying to not repeat patterns for a little while, just because of my feelings with the Korshavn and how I’m not so excited by it, but I would definitely try it for the summer!
@@akaNoraKnits I used Surroro to make the Daily Pullover by Paula Pereira & didn’t use any technique to combine the skeins…I regret it. That’s one thing I don’t like about malabrigo, they don’t have dye lots 🙄.
I think you’re going to love the Sorrel top. I haven’t repeated patterns either but I want to do ranunculus again bec my version was with 100% linen with a strand of mohair. It’s for cooler weather & I cropped it. I need one for winter & it’s quick to knit up.
Have a great week, so nice as always to see you pop up in my feed…hug Osi 🐶plzzz😬
Best vibe on the internet
✨🥰🥰🥰
Finally a knitter with the same of my size and my body type. I love your vibe. I love your taste. I’m gonna replicate everything you make. I love your colors. I love your suggestion keep going just keep going.
Instant subscribe
Omg thank you so much 💛 it feels so good to find like-minded (and bodied) people!
Hi Nora - your Ranunculus is beautiful! I knit one too and love it. However my front neck rides up a bit too…I know the front short rows are there so that the eyelets look like a necklace going around…so I hesitate to take them out next time I make it (and I will make it again)…so I’m considering doing a few extra short rows in the back instead to maybe drop the front neck down a little…we will see. :-)
Oooh good idea! Definitely keep us posted if you decided to give it a try!
I haven’t n\knitted one yet and would probably make a cold weather one, but what if I did the larger neckline? Would this be a problem? I have the pattern but haven’t studied it yet.
Just found your channel- really enjoy it! I am amazed by all your great knitting skills and video making skills ! 😊
Thank you so much! Welcome to the party!
Great job a funished Ran #2! Spiffy and all that drape. So cool about your Cardi! Maybe smaller size needles instead of decreaces or ommitting a weave to two halves meeting to complete one basket. The vest is a cute pattern and coloring as a Autumn Thanksgiving 🦃 might add more increases all the way thruough the back or use bigger needles in back and the smaller in front. Good Luck and Thank you!
Your sweet and adorable little graphics really make your videos stand out in a sort of oversaturated youtube genre. I watch a lot of knitting content from technical tutorials to knitwear design to just chatting while knitting and i am just really enjoying your style. Your little pop ups would make excellent stickers hint hint hint
Thank you so much! You may be on to something 😉
You might want to think about the front short rows. I have heard they are designed to make the textured stitches in the yoke resemble a necklace
Yes, and they do…but I think that in doing so, especially since my gauge was off, they raised the neckline a bit and I believe it would be more straight across if I hadn’t. I know plenty of people have omitted them, I’d have to look into projects on ravelry !
You are crazy cute! The fibre you used for your Ranunculus is beautiful - love the colour too. I am Canadian....hence the different spelling. BTW - I have 4 Ranunculus sweaters....yes .....seriously! Plus I made one for my yoga/friend. Such a great piece. I also agree with the other comments....thank you for your artistic detail.
A few things: LOVE the chipmunk recap of your first Ranunculus try-on 😂, your FO is beautiful, and I'm waiting in anticipation to see what your Christmas cast-on will be! ❤
😂 it had me laughing all over again! Thank you so much! I can’t wait to share it with you 🥰
just stumbled upon your channel and fell in love with your cozy vibes, personality, and fun edit style!! immediately subscribed and am so excited to binge while stitching away 💗 truly a BEAUTIFUL ranunculus btw! ✨
Aw thank you so so much!!! 🥰
I just love, LOVE the colour of your Ranunculus!!!❤. I think it looks perfect on you… I also followed the Ranunculus pattern to a tee, and I had a problem with the neckline as well. I find the pattern did not provide for a larger neckline, unlike the example pictures. I actually wanted a boat neckline as opposed to a crew.
Thank you!!! It’s probably my favorite color ever lol. I know so many people have experienced a little struggle with the neckline too. I’m glad I’m not the only one!
I had a project that was holding my needles hostage for YEARS! It was the "Marcelina Cabled Scarf" by Rae Blackledge.... so like you had decided to do on you Korshavn Cardigan, I had done for this project. That "minimal" knitting I would call my "vegetable knitting" 🥦(you gotta eat your vegetable before moving on to dessert 😳) and that worked for me, and after 4 years i did finally get my knitting needles back! It just took some hostage negations of making the effort to work on it every day one vegetable🥦 a day at a time #snailknitting 🐌🐌🐌
Cracking me up 😂 it’s wild how just changing your mindset makes the project so much less daunting! I’ll be stealing your veggie analogy 😉
Your Ranunculus is gorgeous! Can’t wait to see your thanksgiving vest! I never would have considered splitting up the yarn that way to avoid pooling/stripes-genius!! ❤
Love your podcast! and all the details. Thank you for taking the time-it makes your space very special. BRAVO!❤️
Thank you so much! 🥰
Already one of my favorite knitting podcasters! Thank you for your fun, interesting and inspiring content. 💜
Ahhhh thank you so so much 🥰
Your ranunculus is lovely, the color is divine ❤ knitting off gauge is a great skill to master and you did it🎉. I have knit 7 of them and although I go down a needle size so gauge is a little tighter that pattern flies off the needles in a few days for me which is one of it’s great features, give one a go on the recommended gauge and you will see why they are like potato chip knits to so many knitters . Thanks for the fun podcast , love your energy
7?! Holy cow! I think you're right--I'll have to give it a try! Thank you 🥰🥰
Such a beautiful sweater. The color and the fit is stunning. I like your before and after blocking pics. That should be a tutorial of its own. Im still in awe of the fact that you havent been knitting that long. You must have a atrong math brain...and takent of course.
I don't know if I wrote this: the Ranunculus looks very good on you both the colour and the fit is 🔥!
Also, the vest experiment is going surprisingly well, the variengation looks pretty good,.great work on dividing it and combining the yarn, I have never knitted with hand-died yarn so the entire process was fascinating
Thank you! I am shocked by how well my little experiment is going 😅
LOVE LOVE LOVE 💕 your gorgeous Ranunculus 🎉 nice progress on your cardigan and great start to your thanksgiving vest! Your episodes always make me smile! 😊 hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Thank you so much!!! 💛🥰
Regarding tapering your sleeve, sometimes just going down a needle size will make it smaller in circumference
The variegation looks great. Even a few darker spots, they make it look authentic not forced. I just found your podcast, look forward to much more! 🎉
Thank you so much! I am so surprised by how well it is going so far 😅
You can break up the pooling, by doing some duplicate stitching through them with the lighter colour when you are complete. Just a thought…..
you could also use different colored highlighters... instead of marking out
I wonder how a few pumpkins for a Thanksgiving decoration would look. If you have yarn left over that is.
Love the ranunculus.
Thank you!!
I just finished my Ranunculus last week and I completely agree with you about the front short rows and the sleeves with the diagonal slant. I wore
It yesterday and was contemplating taking out the cuff and making it straight or a bit shorter. Beautiful sweaters.
So interesting! I love the details but don’t feel like I need them in another. If my sleeves happen to lengthen with wear, I would consider the same!
Have knit 2 Ranunculus and love this pattern. Will omit the Front short rows next time - I want my neckline to be slightly lower and think eliminating the front short rows will accomplish this. You mentioned this, as well, so I was pleased you had the same thoughts. For both versions I knit the larger neckline and it was good and would do this again. Just found your podcast and love it! Thanks for sharing your knitting projects and thoughts!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who experienced that with the short rows in front. Thank you for watching!!! 🥰
Your information about how the yarn does with blocking is very helpful. I am using this yarn for another sweater pattern so this information will be nice when I block.
I am glad that it is helpful!
I love your Ranunculus and can’t wait to see your finished vest!!!
So. Much. Fun! You’ve inspired me to try a Ranunculus!
I hope you love it!
You are the cutest!!!!🧶❤️🤩
What fun!! Love both of your sweaters!!
Thank you!
Your ranunculus is FAB! Thanks for the details...I really want to cast one on... but, I have two Christmas gifts I have to finish. Maybe my NYE cast on!
That sounds like a great idea! Thank you 🥰
Thank you for your podcast! I love it!
Thank YOU! 🥰
I omitted the short rows in the front and i was glad i did. Didn't do the short rows on the sleeves as i went to the wrist. It's such an amazing pattern and your's is lovely
Beautiful job on your ranunculus!! I haven’t knit this one yet as I’m a bit intimidated but you inspire me, Nora! Great video as usual!
Thank you! Verdict is that it’s not quite as intimidating as I thought!
Nora your Ranunculus looks wonderful👌
Thank you!!! I love it! 🥰
Love everything about your podcast and editing . Great work Nora❤️
Thank you so much 🥰
Whooo hooo 🎉🎉🎉 The Ranunculus looks great!!!! Well this mother has the pattern but not knit it up yet lol … just finished the Darling Cardigan today!!! Great podcast again
Yayyyyy for an FO!!! Thank you 🥰
Nor since you change from 30 stitches to 45 how did you manage when you came to the laces sections if you don’t mind sharing. Because despite on German twisted co I ‘ve to Yang Indian my face very difficult to pull out. Thanks I ❤ your video.
I got a good giggle about you thinking your cardigan has been on the needles forever - I finished one this year that I had on the needles for 5 years 🤭
Oh my! I do have a wip or two that have fallen to the wayside 👀 I just get too excited to have the finished piece to let them dwindle…sometimes I wish I could be more comfortable with that!
@@akaNoraKnits I'm definitely a process knitter who suffers from castonitis lol 🤣
Congrats on the FO! It’s absolutely beautiful. I need to knit one still, but love getting your pros & cons first. Lol
I finally have an FO as well. My So Faded is finally finished after 3+ months. #snailstitchesclub
Thank you so much! Yayyyy it’s a good week for the snail stitches!
Your Ranunculus is gorgeous! I want to cast one on soon. For the arm decreases in your cardi- are each basket an even # of stitches? If that is the case, then you can do the decreases under the arm at the beginning and end of round, continue to work in your pattern...it should look fine. Just try a few rows and see if you like it.
Thank you so much! That was kind of what I had in mind for the decreases!
It will be beautiful 😍
While I realize you split the three skeins in half the normal way for knitting… the graphic gave me a heart attack because I instinctively assumed you just cut the whole skein in half like that 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 could you even imagine?!
Lovely! I have some beautiful sport wt silk/linen blend from Magpie Fibers, i wonder how much yarn you used for this Ranunculus sweater? The information about sizing for yours is super helpful. I may be able to just do the size 10 using the US7 needles like you did! but…how much yarn did you use? 😊
I should have mentioned that of the three skeins, I have about 15 grams left of my last one! I will try and update my ravelry page with more specific details before the end of the weekend! Thanks for the reminder!
Beautiful Ranunculas. Could you say how many hanks you used?
Thank you!! I used just under 3 full skeins of the Malabrigo susurro!!
Thank you.
Not everyone and their mother has knit it yet cause neither myself or my daughter have knit it. 😉. But maybe some day.
P.S. BTW, Nora you are far from #snailstitches
Seems like a fun bonding pattern! 💛 and I think it’s deceiving the difference between being a fast knitter and just spending a LOOOOOOOTTTT of timing knitting! Every week is different, but I squeeze it in wherever I can!
❤❤❤
German short rows make the front neckline not “choke” you. So you don’t want to omit them instead ,you want to do more short rows.
Lol math wool work still got me confused
It is beautiful, proud of your determination to finish. Have to tell you, personally, (although I know the “in” thing right now), but the floppy wrists on all the latest sweaters (Made or bought) not a fan, - but I am a generation older than you so, thats my excuse!!LOL
😂 thank you! I love the look of the droopy sleeves, but all functional goes out the window 😂
Oops...talent.
This pattern has led me to depression. I have started it 6 times and something goes wrong every time. I hate it. I am stupid.
You are not stupid!!!! I had 4 false starts and wanted to throw it out the window in the beginning 😅 I flat-out didn’t enjoy the lace part, but I am happy with the end result! I don’t think it’s for everyone!!
❤❤❤
