    Oh Nora, I laughed out loud when Captain Von Trapp showed up with Bloom and Grow! You are a clever one and so talented!

    I just finished watching all your episodes and I am so glad that RUclips suggested your channel to me.
    I love your vibe and admire your editing skills. This is next level podcast watching! 🤩
    Also a big applause to your boyfriend, who filmed your Rhinebeck experience so very well. It was like walking around together with you. ☺️
    And lastly I have to say that I am thankful you started this channel. You‘ve come so far in just almost 2 years of knitting. You inspire us to just ‚go ahead and dive on in‘. 🤗 Greetings from Germany. ~ Kat

    Idea: you could wear last year’s red dress for Thanksgiving, then the new one for Christmas…and start that kind of pattern so you don’t wear the same dress to two events right in a row!

    Hi!! I don’t know if you’ll read this, but I’m usually the one reading in all the suggestions! I have a trick I use when I’m trying to finish something tedious (like a certain double knit button band) I’m working on an icord bind off of my Stephen West MKAL and it is slow moving… to make me feel accomplished, I put a stitch marker a few inches ahead of where I am. When I get there I either take a break (or move the marker a head another few inches because I actually feel like I’m making progress!) I feel like it makes it move along faster and I enjoy it much more! I hope that makes sense! And maybe it will help you!❤

    Omg I’ve been thinking so much about that Artemisia sweater ever since you shared your original plans for test knitting it. I never thought I’d like boucle yarn, but it looks absolutely amazing! I can’t wait to see it all done!

    • @akaNoraKnits
      @akaNoraKnits  22 дня назад +2

      I am the biggest fan of boucle since working on this sweater! It’s crazy how texture can change everything!!

    I think you were right on the money with choosing these dark brown vs black yarns to make your garments lately. The color is so flattering on you! 👏🏾

    The skirt looks fabulous on you and I'd love to see it with black boots and your black leather jacket for Fall. I totally love the boucle sweatshirt for both the color and the cuddliness. Its what i think of as a sweater guaranteed to get you hugs. Congrats on another great podcast!

    • @akaNoraKnits
      @akaNoraKnits  22 дня назад

    Don't you have leftover boucle from the boulevard bag? This sweater would look fantastic in that pink 🤩

    Hi, I've been wondering how many years and projects it takes before someone is no longer considered a beginner knitter. I’ve had a hard time thinking of myself as an intermediate knitter. But then, when I consider my skills, I realise there’s no way a beginner would typically be able to do all that. I also think you have a lot of skill, so you’re not a beginner knitter, but maybe a newer knitter. You still remember what it's like to start. I also think (sorry if I’m being presumptuous all the time) that you are a courageous and fearless knitter.

    Hedgehog Fibres sells alpaca bouclé yarn and they have a sensational catalogue of vibrant colours (variegated and tonal) 🌈
    Best of luck with the WAK kit. I have a very low opinion of them because their sizing is so limited (the Lovely Sweater maxes out at a 50" bust for the XL, and you can tell in the photo it's meant to have a LOT of positive ease, meaning it only works for people with a much smaller bust than 50"). Also, I have friends who have bought WAK kits and run out of yarn, even when making the smallest size.

    • @akaNoraKnits
      @akaNoraKnits  20 дней назад +1

      I'll have to look into the Hedgehog Fibres boucle! Thank you for the suggestion!
      I had only noticed the lack in size range after it was pointed out to me, so thank you--and it will be my first point of feedback. I'm definitely curious to see how the kit works out and perhaps another voice urging them to incorporate more sizes would be helpful! I always appreciate your insight, Whitney! Thank you!

    Looooveee the boucle sweater. I just saw Banana Republic is selling a super similar boucle sweater this year.
    I think one in yellow or a coral pink would look so fantastic

    Beautiful work! I had a flash of inspiration yesterday as I watched Creabea podcast. She revealed a new colorwork design. The design is an uncomplicated geometric pattern. Mi would like to do this using Bouclé yarn for the colorwork.

    Hey Nora! Once again, you have piqued my interest in finally maybe trying to knit with boucle yarn. Maybe this sweater could be a knit-a-long at some point. I especially love the idea of making it in fun colors with a different color for the ribbing!

  • @Unitubeful
    @Unitubeful 26 дней назад +1

    Though it would be super cute that you and Ossie have a matching sweater i really would not recommend you do that due to Ossie nails possibly getting stuck in the strands of the booclay yarn and it causing some issues when an itch may occur for little Ossie

    • @akaNoraKnits
      @akaNoraKnits  22 дня назад

      I never even thought about her nails getting caught but you’re so right!! Perhaps hers should have the boucle just on the collar!! We could reverse match!!
