Holy cow, girl! You have so much personality, so fun and exuberant (I smiled throughout the whole episode)! What you bring to the knitting podcast world is second to none! And perhaps unknowingly, you have raised the bar for all podcasters. Thank you so much for all the effort you've invested in this, and all your videos for our benefit. So much of what I saw is very exciting and I look forward to seeing knitwear designers level up their game. I always look forward to your videos, keep 'em coming! BTW, love the yellows--super dreamy!!!!

I absolutely agree with her her personality is unmatchable and I’m really lucky that I found her since the beginning.

NO MO MOHAIR! If others love mohair, GO FOR IT! I am so looking forward to new patterns that do not combine whatever with a strand of mohair or suri or fuzz of any kind. I live in a warm climate, my skin will not tolerate mohair and I have yet to find a combination of yarns that will make a Lento without including fuzz. I feel like I'm barred from so many patterns because of the fuzz. Love the podcast! You do a great job with it! Don't think I don't notice all the work you put into it. It shows!

Yes! Agree 100%! I hate mohair. I dislike that so many dyers are selling mohair or suri alpaca combos instead of actual laceweight yarns. I knit a lot of shawls and it's hard to find 800+ yards of a nice merino silk blend.

I would love to knit a skirt! I think there could be so many options for different styles and fabrics. Imagine a lovely drapey silk skirt ❤

The colorwork you’re describing is called intarsia. Larger color works large blocks of color etc, whereas the circular yoke style is called fairisle with smaller colorwork. Although Sari Nordlund’s Lummé is fairisle style even though it is two colors.

Engineering Knits did a vintage full knit capsule wardrobe a few months back! There was a skirt, a sweater, a cardigan, and a vest.

Okay. One more comment--unbeknownced to me, i am channeling 2024 trends. My nephew is getting married in July, and i am knitting the Now, Voyager skirt from 2007. The designer is Annie Modesitt and it has embroidery on the bottom! You inspired me to go for it Nora when you tackled your Christmas dress.

Absolutely in for more modern and graphic colorwork motifs, in both stranded colorwork and in intarsia.

I love mohair but I hate, hate, hate yellow for me. But I know others it looks amazing on. But I do love marling colors. It's so much fun to work with different colors. I did a le pouf cardigan in 2 strands of different variegated yarns and it turned out so pretty!!

Lovely ideas! Now l need some buttercream banana creamy yarn . . . Hmm, milkshake! I have started the Mandala sweater (free!) With some yarn l got for my birthday. Bless her, my mum went back first to switch out a high contrast that l was never likely to wear, then again once l had chosen the pattern, then we went back together a third time because she seems to forget that l am plus size now . . . Anyway, that will tick off the low contrast colourwork trend! I am also approaching the end of an expanding rib, top-down circular yoke, sweater that l started designing for a new knitter at my craft group. Just 1x1 rib at the collar and adding another knit stitch to every repeat every 6 rows (or 8 or 4 l figure for larger or smaller sizes) until it is large enough and then keeping that broad rib pattern down the torso and down the sleeves. Decreasing the sleeve cuffs rapidly at the very end for a balloon sleeve.

Thank you, Nora, there is so much inspiration in your video! I've seen many podcasts for "Everything I knit in 2023", where a theme of no more mohair will be their personal choice this year. Many have found the garments uncomfortable and gave them away or have tired of the fuzz factor. Marling has been one of my favorite Blanket/afghan techniques this year, finding complementary colors and texture very satisfying. I am eager to try this with a cardigan as my final winter project. I'm excited to see what other fun out-of-the-box ideas you have for us coming up!

I always really enjoy your videos, Nora! You have such a fun and friendly presence on camera. This was a really great, inspirational video and I think I want to play with some "marling" in at least one of my knits this year. Just an important point that I sincerely hope you'll take in the gentle spirit in which it's meant. As a viewer who is living with chronic illness & disability, I hope going forward you might reconsider referring to this time period as post pandemic (ie. how you said both "moving on from the pandemic" and "coming out of the pandemic" in this video). I know most people have moved on but the reality is that the pandemic isn't over (cases are extremely high in both the US & Canada where I am) and high risk folks such as myself are still very much at risk, wearing N95s, and sheltering at home because unfortunately most people aren't taking precautions anymore. Words are powerful and people look up to you and so I hope you'll try to use language that doesn't further perpetuate the notion that everyone has moved on and that the risk is over. Thanks for considering this, Nora. 💜

I have been experimenting with marking using the Melange sweater by Petite knit. I have knit four of them so far using different wool combinations each time with varying results and some clear winners. I have used the same bare undied 100% wool with each sweater. And I have held it with a typical merino 80/20 nylon sock yarn, a merino cashmere silk sock, a Corriedale nylon sock yarn, and an alpaca fingering. My favorite feel is the merino cashmere nylon. The drape is amazing. It’s a heavy sweater because of the make up though, it literally weighs the most of all of them, and takes five years to dry. my second favorite is the merino sock. It is a very warm and absorbent fabric that feels great on the skin. Dries quickly and it’s a great addition to the fall and winter wardrobe. The alpaca is great but it is too warm. I get uncomfortable quick. Might be too much alpaca to wool ratio. And the corriedale nylon sock one is rustic haha too rustic I think for a skin touching sweater even with the other strand of wool. It’s does bloom nicely still but it’s rough on me, so I don’t wear it as much though it does look amazing. This one will probably last the longest and it has the least pilling. The alpaca one peels. Has anyone else tried this ?

another great video! I really liked your predictions for this year. looking forward to see what you knit next.

Marling and scrap busting were big a few yrs ago and I think you’re head on with that trend coming back around. I’m so over mohair and love the pieces that I’ve made, but ready to go back to holding a single strand of yarn san fuzz!

I’ll have to look!!

POV: watching this video as I work on a project holding a strand of mohair with a strand of wool fingering 😅😂 TBH, I'm over this trend too and I'm so ready to be knitting with just one strand of yarn!

😂 Hahaha I am so sorry! I have yet to really dabble with the wool and mohair so I feel like I will also be trying it out some more this year to see what I think, but I just feel like it gets so dressy! I really need some good just fuzzy-less sweaters in the wardrobe!!

So many great images! I'm in for texture this year and the semi shear peekaboo. I have Purple Coke planned and ankestrick has an Armor sweater that I am waiting to hear more about. Also totally down for that all green outfit in the photos head to toe knits. YES please! P.S. That yellow looks good on you!

Also...my favorite 2 strand sweater Xarabia. I used 1 strand fingering color called Cherry Bomb! And a solid black lace weight. No Mo.

Look at the cardigan Joji Locatelli just released a few days ago, I bet you’d like it.

Such a well researched and entertaining episode! Thank you for that. I am working on a marled blanket holding two different colorways of the Lion Brand Mandala. They share some colors but not all and the marl they are creating is so pretty. The book Making Marls by Cecelia Campochiaro is the absolute sourcebook for the Marling world! It is great. Hopefully you will continue down the fashion/trends rabbit hole with your videos since it is something I never considered before. I think I may do the Artus Shawl this year since it is mosaic and stunning too. Thanks again!

Thank you for noticing 🥰 I am so happy to hear that this sparked some ideas for patterns! Thank you for sharing!!!

Great, the one color I can’t wear lol. Soft yellow makes me so pale 🥲 I can wear every other color. Sadness it is so pretty!
