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.

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!

It will be beautiful 😍

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. :-)

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!! ❤

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

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

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 🐌🐌🐌

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.

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

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!

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 !

Regarding tapering your sleeve, sometimes just going down a needle size will make it smaller in circumference

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.

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.

Would you make another Ranunculus?, I’m definitely going too, but more like yours with negative ease instead of oversized.

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.
