I love Nancy’s scarf, beautiful.
Ms Nancy Marchand is ever evolving fiber maestro. Amazing.
fantastic!!! great to see all the projects and techniques. very exciting.
Fantastic program!! Nancy Marchant is incredible, and you did a great job!
Mind blown 🤯 by amazing Nancy!
You tube sent me your vlog as a suggestion and I’m sooo happy I found you. Love everything you talked about. ❤ P.S. all you expert knitters out there who need a new challenge , try crochet. 😊
Yay! Thank you! I love crochet! So excited to talk about it again with Nancy.
Aimée! I'm so glad you finally jumped on the podcast bandwagon. And what a treat to have Nancy there, she blows my mind!
This was great ! I can't believe Nancy Marchant brain ... These woven cables are mindblowing !
I learn so much from Nancy. She’s amazing!
Wonderful, looking forward to more videos. 😊👍❤
Thank you for this wonderful podcast and the conversation with Nancy Marchant!! Looking forward to future episodes!
I loved this Aimee! Thank you! I am so happy you have started podcasting! I love the cropped sweaters/cardigans you often wear over dresses - I would love an episode all about how you successfully crop a pattern - or the best patterns that are already cropped! Thanks again! I'm looking forward to your future episodes!
Thank you for tuning in! I will make a note to talk about my cropped sweaters. More episodes to come!
love this podcast...brings back memories of Kaffe Fassette knitting I have done in the past...time to get my bobbins out again...piece knitting .... have older pattern books to bring that back too...great point against top down designs of the day
Wonderful podcast! ….and Nancy Marchant? It just doesn’t get much better! Thank you. Aimee!
Love absolutely love your podcast!
This was great! I love this content. Thank you!
A truly wonderful podcast. Well done! It was all so very interesting and full of fun. I’m really looking forward to your next podcast.❤Angela
Really enjoyed this episode. I look forward to enjoying more.
Glad to hear it!
Loved your first episode--it was so interesting and informative! Thanks so much for a wonderful, wonderful segment. Happy knitting!
Thank you for tuning in! ❤️
Great information and wonderful rapport between. A pleasure, so thank you.
Really enjoyed this show - the back and forth was awesome to listen to and to see those wonderful 'woven' knitting. Will have to try that!!
What a fantastic first episode. Enjoyed it very much. Go on with it. I am looking forward to the next one. Greetings from Germany
Very interesting. Learning knitting. Now I can learn weaving, my next hobby. Thanks for sharing.
Truly enjoyed this podcast! It was very educational and your conversation with Nancy was very interesting, as well as, informative about new techniques for knitting a sweater.❤
Great episode! I knew this podcast would be great because everything you do Aimee is done so well. I think it was fun to see that Julia talked you into spinning. Nancy is so interesting and just makes you want to knit all things colourful. I look forward to see more episodes although I am not sure where you find the time so be good to yourself.
Thank you for your kind words. I will definitely be talking more about my spinning adventure this fall. For now I’m practicing with the drop spindle while I am on tour this fall.
What a great episode- love Nancy's work, I have to be honest it looks scary but both of your reassurances that it's not terribly difficult are giving me courage to try one of her weaving designs!
Amazing! Go for it!
Intarsia converted 👍🏽 will do my next project 😊
Nancy, I loved going to Straw Into Gold! Thank you Aimee for a terrific episode!
Such a fabulous episode! Nancy is GENIUS! Unbelievable designs, techniques…sigh…
Although I’ve never knitted any of Nancy’s patterns (…and WHY NOT…???) Aimee is right: sometimes things “look” complicated but are very easy to do. How very true! I am ready to hear about finishing techniques/tips. I learned to knit pre-you tube (and internet) from books, magazines and I have avoided any pieced garments.
Thanks Aimee! I’ll watch the KnitLabs, fun & I just might learn something… always want to learn, I’m like a sponge!
Thank you for the show. I learned intarsia through Kaffe Fassett in the 90-s and I never stopped using it. Never understand the fear of it, it can be messy but patience is golden. Thanks for all the inspiration.
I used to avoid Intarsia until I learned more about it from Kaffe Fassett and some good advice from Nancy Marchant. Now I’m an Intarsia convert!
not only did I knit the same Kaffe Fassette designs and others but never had top down patterns like today as all were pieced even your Nordic yolk...
Sometimes naivety is golden. I saw a scarf called Chatham, an intarsiaI beautiful scarf. Its a Malabrigo pattern. It is a four color all over intarsia with a very interesting construction. I really enjoyed making it, it looked up video help here on youtube and Wall-ain a few days to a couple weeks I had a beautiful scarf. Later when I started to knit more things I kept hearing people had feared trying Intarsia. I never knew anyone feared it. I needed to learn it, it was all new to me, it was just my second project. I love the outcome, its a very useful technique that may interesting items can be made using it. My first project was a chevron lace baby blanket for my daughters first baby. To be fare I am a retired artist, art instructor, Beta tester, demonstrator, author.
I learned Intarsia early too. It was the technique I used to knit a baby hat for my son. I believe this was an early knitting project after I picked it up again after a hiatus as a teenager/young adult. I just learned the technique like learning short rows. Just dug in and did it. It wasn’t perfect but it was fun! I am so excited to knit Intarsia with everyone this fall!
Love the new show ❤. I learned intarsia from Kaffe too and knit a lot of it in the ‘90’s. I love the results and still make an occasional piece in intarsia, but it isn’t my favourite type of colourwork as I find other techniques more relaxing and meditative.
Thank you, I really enjoyed every minute🧶 I even got a little curious about spinning 😊
Can’t wait to see you next time 🌻
Thank you Aimee and Nancy and Julia. What a wonderful new show. I love it.
Thank you so much for tuning in!

GREAT podcast!! I enjoyed everything!
Really loved seeing Nancy Marchant's "woven" knits! What unique and beautiful work. I'm now putting that on my list of techniques to learn!
Woven knitting is so much fun! I highly recommend her e-book!
This is such a great video! Thanks ladies.
You might just have convinced me to try a drop spindle again!
Yay with the spinning - now you MUST dye fibre for us 🙂
This was wonderful! So amazing to see Nancy’s new work and to see the admiration for her in your expression ❤❤❤
Loved this! Can't wait for the next episode.🥰

delightful. have Nancy back soon, please! you guys are so cute together. your synergy is great.
Hi Aimee, fantastic podcast! What a treat to see Nancy Marchant intarsia it’s so exciting. Thank you Julia.
I remember Straw into Gold. I think I still have a couple of skeins from them. I love hearing the process of a designer playing with yarn and new options. Looking forward to more videos like this
What a treat! Loved the chance to spend a bit of time with you and to see Nancy's new projects. Thanks to both of you for the reminder to keep challenging myself with my knitting.
Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
Wow, this is so amazing! Ever since I saw the short sneak peek of the vest with all the Corrie Worsted colors I've wanted to make it!
Thank you! Very soon you could make your own! I can’t wait for the next versions that Nancy Marchant will share with us!
@aimeesknitlab yes, I purchased the pattern and am going to try making into a vest
Watching you in the lobby of my hotel before day 2 of Flock where I will give you the biggest hug❤
I was so happy to hang out yesterday! Hope you’re having a great day today.
Grateful thanks for your amazing first episode. My mind has been blown! I can't wait for the next episode. I'm 73 and I have learnt so much about knitting since lockdown. Thanks Aimee. Take care. 💖
Glad you enjoy it! More to come…
Love it! Wonderful podcast! Nancy Marchand is extraordinary and so are you!🌸
Straw into Gold! I went there when I was at uni at Berkeley! Flashback!!! 😮
Fabulous Vlog! Thank you Aimée and Nancy. I'm excited to see Nancy's denim sweater with the holes. Looking forward to future Vlogs.
Such a fun video!
So much fun! I immediately bought Nancy’s e-book. Have always loved intarsia because I too, am of an age, and it was all the go in the ‘80’s. All our jumpers were pieced, no circular needles etc. I do hate sewing though so fully embraced the top down era!
I’m so inspired now to return to my knitting roots. Thank you so much both of you!!
Love your attitude! I learned to knit sweaters in pieces and want to get back to my knitting roots.
Love this format!
Thank you! There will be more to come!
I am both a knitter and weaver. What an nice way to combine both of my crafts.
❤️❤️❤️
Just love you Ladies🤗thanks for an inspiring morning
I enjoyed your podcast and I am so intrigued by Nancy's weaving knitting. I am learning to spin on a spindle and I find relaxing . I am a bit obsessed!
Fabulous podcast and such a different approach! Loved listening to Nancy - what talent!!
Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️❤️❤️
As a knitter, I definitely enjoy spinning - I'm not counting or watching pattern repeats, and I went with an e-spinner since it takes up much less space!
I’m curious about e-spinner! I’m sure I will be asking for advice about it soon. :)
Thank you! That was so much fun! Looking forward to the next episode and seeing what you and Julia made over your break. Now I'm think what about using hand spun yarns in some of Nancy's woven patterns? And I'm so excited about her future woven knitting books! The corrie sample vest may be one of the best knits ever!
That’s so exciting about you using your hand spun for some Woven knitting. It will work! Give it a try!
Terrific podcast, looking forward to the next one.
A very interesting and engaging podcast! Will be watching out for future episodes.
This was FUN!!
❤️❤️❤️
What a fab podcast! Absolutely loved it 😍 so much inspiration!!
It's so lovely to sit and knit to your videos, I'm so happy you are doing this longer format! I have been on pins and needles for Nancy Marchant to start spilling the beans on this ah-mazing technique since she posted the woven vest. Just went on Ravelry and downloaded the ebook. Thank you all for your gifts to the knitting community.
So happy you tuned in! I’ve been meaning to make longer content just needed to work up the courage! It’s not easy to talk to yourself but I’m getting used to it. :) Nancy will be back again very soon!
Terrific episode! So inspiring and informative. Thank you!
Hello from Norway! So interesting knittingpodcast. I learned a lot. Lokking forward to the next episode
Im using fingering weight yarn by you in the color Le Petite Nuage for socks. Stunning color
Thanks for a Fun series…Loved it! Can’t wait to see what’s next!!
So glad! More to come…. :)
At MDK, they always say “pull the thread up from the tangle” and it works!
Agree 💯
SOOOO exciting!!! What a wonderful channel and I look forward to your episodes. I am such a La Bien groupie so how fun to hear more about what you’re knitting and inspiration with guests…❤
Thank you so much!! I wanted to have some less structured episodes for Aimée’s Knit Lab. thank you for tuning in! More to come… ❤️
So glad to see you doing this. Love you and your yarns❤️
Thank you so much! I am still figuring it all out but it’s definitely something that I’ll do again and again! :)
One more world to conquer, one more venue to master. You go! 👌🥰😉
Good show, Aimèe! I really like the format, and I am eagerly anticipating learning all the things.
Thank you! I’m hoping to keep it organic! If there is anything you’re interested in, do let me know here in the comments!
Thank you for your" first" Podcast. Sooo fun with Nancy. Looove it. So beautiful things Nancy is knitting.❤❤❤
You are so welcome! Nancy will be back again to chat with me later this year!
@@aimeesknitlab in September I visit Paris, so hope I can visit your boutique.
Our brick and mortar has been closed since may 2021. We sell online and we have one reseller in Paris called Lil Weasel. Enjoy your visit to Paris! September is a great time to visit the City of Lights!
Just downloaded Nancy’s book. Will be fun to start using scraps. 🎉
That new base looks amazing 🤩 I love that sea glass colour.
Thank you! I am knitting Seaglass right now and it’s soooo nice! 😻
Guys "il colpo d'aria" is a really serious thing in Italy as well! Kids can "easily die" out of those (according mother's opinion). Her in Finland it is not, but wind is strong enough for draft to be forgotten and I wear scarves in summer as well unless the temp is above 25C. (By the way... 18C is not cold... Below 10is starting to be chilly, below 0 is starting to be cold... -10 is cold) 😂😂😂
Come to Finland and you will see. Trust me I am an Italian expat in Finland.
Wow, this is impressive and very inspiring! Thank you for this podcast!
Terrific explanations!
Great pocast. Still afraid of intarsia but I do love that It's colorwork without the thickness.
I am just learning how to knit my first garment so I’m making a summer tank top but I’ve been crocheting since I was nine and I’m 68 so often on so I’m a crocheter mostly, but wanting to be a knitter learning how to knit
So wish there was a little class to do the sample swatch in the Nancy Marchant new intarsia ebook. This was a fun podcast!
I have 2 intarsia projects that I feel inspired to start now!!
👏👏👏
The Volut sea glass is spectacular!!!
this looks like such a great technique for stash busting!!
You could add your handspun in sections in the woven knitting projects
I think a knit-a long is in order. Nancy is a true gem. BTW- does Nancy knit continental?
Aimee, agree completely about “busty” colorwork sweaters. Not for me!!! 😂
Wow, so inspiring, I want to do intarsia now.
🙌🙌🙌
Ok, it looks to me like what Nancy calls the “background” could also be called an “alternating weft.” It’s being knit and/or carried across the rows, is it not (in a reverse Stockinette whereas the other weft is knitted to stand out like a horizontal stripe)? Whereas the “warps” are the vertical knitted stripes being created via intarsia? So the “weft” and the “background” are both being carried all the way across the rows, isn’t that the case? At least, that makes sense and looks like it to me. Thanks.
I would love to have some crochet
I Will be talking about crochet very soon!
