Anyone else sing along every time to the opening song? 😅
This makes me so happy 🥰
Yes! I also say bbbyyyeee
Yes except currently it’s more like croaking due to allergies. 🤦♀️
Totally! So happy I’m not the only one who sings the song around the house 😂 🎉
Me, too!
For the neckline options maybe try a purled I-cord. That way you have a more similar texture to the rolled but with the extra structure an i-cord provides.
How interesting!! Adding it to the list of things to try! Thank you!
Oooh! I love this idea.
I have never heard or seen a purled i cord - pictures anyone?
I think the 2 row rolled hem kind of keeps the vibe of the sweater while giving it a bit more structure. It is gorgeous!
Totally agree!!
Good morning! Question for other watchers…does anyone else sing along with the opening theme? Just me? Oh, ok. 😂😂
For your cable sweater, I’m leaning towards picking up and binding off. I feel it would look more like what the pattern looks like.
Loving the burnt orange yarn for the next tank. One of my favorite colors!
The Sabai Top is a lovely high neck tank as another option.
Thoroughly enjoy your episodes. The blue sand top is a great, high neck tank top if you're feeling like garter stitch.
I love listening to you talk about design…. May I see knitwear designer in your future….. yes, yes I do!
Thank you!! A girl can dream ✨
Absolutely love the two red colors - your "sock" and the one in waiting. Cant wait to see the finished paper yarn project. Its such a sophisticated fabric. Great episode and cingrats on reaching 10,000 subs!
Thank you!! I’m excited to inject a little more color into my wardrobe. Thank you thank you!! 🥰
Great podcast! You keep everything wonderfully upbeat. I appreciated the time you spent talking about the tolsta and the plans you have to fix the fit. I have pulled out and redone a couple of projects because they weren’t going the way I had hoped because…ultimately….it has to work for me and my life! Hugs to you for brightening my weekend!
Thank you so much 🥰 I definitely think some projects just take a few more tries than others. At the end of the day, some of them are worth fixing and others aren’t. This one seems easy enough to change!! Thanks for being here 🥰
Ohhhh yesssss, the brushed alpaca Missy showed up today. Nice to see her and you. I love your pattern choices and yarn. Noro looks amazing. Can't wait to see the Claire. You might like sabai tank. Highish ribbed neckline. I have to tell you I screamed a little when I heard you say sock knitting in the intro. I swear you would be a sock master. Lots of stockinette in round or cables if you like. I would love to have a lesson or tutorial on German short rows from you. Your explanations are so clear and visual. GSR's make me anxious. I think you could take that anxiety away.
ahhh my favorite time of the week!
but seriously, I haven’t had the best week, and you’ve given me a space to forget about everything and just knit and enjoy immersing myself in the craft. so thank you so incredibly much for providing for me and everyone else who watches this safe knitting space to fall back on!
🥹 first, I’m sorry you’ve had a rough week. All I wanted when I started this channel was to create a space where people could come laugh with me and remember that knitting is supposed to be fun. I’m so glad you’ve found that here 🥰 thank you
I missed your podcast yesterday because I was at a wedding. Saturday morning is reserved for Nora! ❤ Glad to catch it today. I love how you walk us through your process, the highs and the lows. And i vote for the i-cord edge.😊
Well how fun!! Thank you for joining us! Thank you!! I think I have some more sampling to do 😅
I love your podcasts, they’re all about the knitting and great in depth information ❤
Thank you!! 🥰
The top you’re wearing actually reminds me of the Cinna top by Ksenia Naidyon! I think it’s constructed left to right so could be a really interesting project. I know you specified that you were looking for a similar neckline and not the stripes but if you like the shape you could of course leave the stripes out 😊
I will definitely check it out!! Thank you!!!
The color is the tolsta tank is 100% your color! Beautiful!!
Thank you!! I do love the color!
Congratulations Nora! Great pod
I like the two row rolled hem for the big cabled sweater. I think it looks cool and will match the hems elsewhere. It also wouldn't be a huge time commitment if you did it and then had to frog it because you didn't like it.
Hi Nora, I absolutely love your podcasts, they're like a walk in the park on a fresh day, you know like "blow the cobwebs away" happy, fun, I save watching them till late evening, when I have my coffee an knitting at the ready and settle down to watch, ahh heaven, what about a crochet slip stich as something else you could maybe try on your cable sweater
Patterns by Jessie Maed Designs are also detailed and well written. I just finished the Mini Mock Neck Tank (shorter neck line for Florida heat and longer in length). Quick and easy knit with a very nice finished garment. Thanks for yet another great podcast😊
Hi Nora. I test knit for Rebecca Clow three times. I tested the tolsta tank in the square neck. I opted for no bust shaping and it was great. Yes, and I’m placing my vote for the icord edge. Thank you for your great podcast. I’ve been here since week one! You are doing fantastic. Keep it up!
Hello!! It’s a great pattern for the amount of options you get! I am sure I’ll turn to it many times in the future!! I appreciate everything that she stands for as a designer too! I have plans to knit another one of her patterns maybe later this year. I just wish that the format of the writing was a little less cluttered. Thank you so much for being here!! 💛
LOL love Osie in his summer hat!!!
Great episode, as always. I'm in love with the paper blend yarn. The color is amazing and I can't wait to see it all knit up. Happy creating 💚🧶💚
Thank you!! I think I’m addicted to the paper yarn…I’ve never worked with something that’s so satisfying to knit up! Rough on the forearms, but the growing fabric just gets better and better! I hope you have a weekend full of making 💛
Nice chat and progresses! I hope you try out a bind off that you pick up back one or two then bring back in next stitch knit creating two and going back one to bind of to one. GL!!
Your tanks and sweaters are beautiful. I admire your confidence in mixing patterns, just testing things and ripping it out. I am currently knitting the Twofer tank. It is v-neck on one side and square neck on the other. I’m using a bamboo yarn. I like the idea of it being reversible. It’s my first garment and it’s very convenient that the edges are “finished” as you work. I’m not super confident with picking up stitches.
Thank you so much!! I’ll have to check that one out! Sounds like fun!! I do appreciate when a pattern includes the finishes throughout the knitting. If nothing else, it just makes for a a convenient ending!!
I find the i-cord bind off suits the cables ..... a much cleaner look ...... put together look 😊
I love your esthetics and showing different options for garments ..... example, the bind off options
Keep up the good work
Thank you!! I’m glad you found that helpful too-I’ll try to keep it in mind for future projects! Thank you 🥰
I’ve used the pick up and bind off finish on several tops/sweaters. It’s a great simple finish!
So good to know! Thank you!!
For the oversized cable sweater, I would do the i-cord or the fourth option that you mentioned.
I also am a huge fan of kutovakika. Currently I am working on the stripe hype sweater (colors and placement inspired by yours) and the sailor swift top (in her white and black combo).
Thank you! Her patterns are just so simply written and really fun to knit!
As someone who is also currently knitting a Claire Vest, I cannot agree more on how well written the pattern is! It’s sooo intuitive and easy to follow. I’m knitting mine in hopes to wear it for my birthday in September :)
It’s so validating to hear that I’m not alone in thinking that! Absolutely amazingly written pattern!! I hope you get it done and absolutely love it!!
Another great podcast Nora. You make my day. You are so talented. Solving problems. Love your purple sock to hold your yarn. I would never have thought of that. Clever. It works. See you next time.
Thank you so much!! 🥰
Love the icord finish
I honestly think that the proposed 3rd option will be the best. It will not add too much bulk, but will give you that more polished look and the little bit of stability/structure you're wanting. I can't wait to see this all done and how you style it!!
I really like the smaller rolled hem on the cabled sweater. I'm excited to see you finish that one! It's a very interesting knit. I'd love yo knit a cabled sweater someday but so far I've only knit cables on hats.
They’re certainly a labor of love, but I just adore a good cabled sweater!
I thought for sure I would like the i-cord edge best. BUT because of your sample sections, I think the purl stitches on the short rolled hem mimic the purl sections separating the cables in such a perfect way, and still give a nice finish and some structure.
Sometimes we just need to try it!! I feel similarly. I think I’ll have to try a few more options, but I like the idea of seeing the purls
I knit a chunky cabled cardigan and it’s finished along the next with just a pick up then bind off and I think it adds the right amount of structure without taking away from the cables. Also suuuuper interested to see how your vest turns out in that Noro yarn!
Well that’s so helpful to know!! Thank you!! I will definitely try it!! I am addicted to the Noro paper vest-regretting not having picked up different colors 😅
I wonder if a Chinese Waitress cast off would look nice on the neckline of your sweater. It might not be stretchy enough, though. Never seen it used to finish a neck edge and maybe there’s a reason for that…🤓
When I want mindless stockinette, I swatch random yarn from my stash. I’m a tight knitter so always go up one needle size from that recommended for the yarn. If I don’t like the fabric I do a second swatch. Just baby ones, about 6 by 4.5 inches. I tag the yarn with the needle size and gauge. That way my stash is labelled up ready for knitting. My tension has been consistent enough so far for that to remain accurate. I keep my swatches labelled too in a little folder, like a sample book. I guess my swatch folder is my sock 😂
Oh I love the I cord finish ❤. I’m just about to start sailor swift 😊. You are definately making me look at mochi patterns too 🙈
I like your idea of picking up that v-neck edge & then binding right off. You might look at the Chinese waitress bind-off - it gives a really interesting finish that looks good from the front or the back, so it might be nice for your neck edge
You could crochet along the neckline which will make it a little bit neater. Anyway it will be nice!
Icord edge looks finished.
My favorite podcast right now. So well done and your high energy and graphics are adorable.
Thanks so much for your honest review of patterns!
Of course 🥰💛
I definitely like the I cord best, mainly because the stitch (V’s) match the rest of the sweater (stockinette) and blends right in. Unlike the rolled edge where you get the garter stitch and doesn’t blend in.
PS how do you get the same exact timing and posing for your pre and post blocking videos?!?😂
Tip for showing off wips or fo’s, try putting the garment on a hanger when holding them up, it’s a lot easier to show off the project :)
Such a great tip!! Thank you!!
@@akaNoraKnitsno problem!
Ok … your jingle works! I just drove 5 hours from Northern California to Southern California and I kept singing your jingle!
Enjoyed listening to how you are working through your ‘ now’ knitting. Though I would never make or ware the patterns you are making, it’s very interesting to see your process. Happy Knitting ~ ‘Also known as Nora knits!!’
😂 that makes me so so happy!! I always find it so fun to knit vicariously through other people!! I’m glad you’ve enjoyed 💛
The project is probably called Vest Claire in the Ravelry page because the original language was Spanish and the pattern is titled in Spanish, but the title in the English translation is Claire Vest.
You've really sold me on Mochi Knits
I hope all of her patterns are written like this one! It’s just so well thought out!
About the neckline, I have a tee with only a raw garter edge and because I wanted to keep it simple and flat, I just crocheted a slipstitch round on top to keep it from growing. Maybe that would work for you also...
Love Veronica Lindberg patterns, very professional.
Doing an i-cord on the Tolsta could make it fit perfect, might be worth trying before frogging! I would do a pick up rate of 3 for every 4 where you want it to be tighter :)
I am team i-cord edge on your sweater! The biggest benefit would be stability, but I also love the look of something so structured next to a texture that is very drapey. In my mind, the cables remind me of the flow of curtains, and even curtains need that sturdy hem to hang from. I fear a looser edge would eventually impact the stretch of the stitches it's next to.
What a great analogy! I think you are so right! Thank you
I vote i-cord for the neckline. I don’t love i-cord on a lot of things but I think it goes great with this sweater texture.
I’m planning to make One Wild’s Soft Walk Tank. They always get fit just right and it looks like the perfect simple tank project. Plus there is an extra that helps with using any yarn/gauge for the pattern.
I like both the 2row rolled edge and the icord, though think I prefer the icord because it is stockinette, while the rolled hem shows the purl side.
Hey Nora! I totally understand how you feel about the cable sweater. I've had the same experience, where I loved the stock photo of a sweater and then realized the edges were unfinished and was like, "Uh, no. We're gonna finish these." I'm still not sure why I'm cool with it on model, but not on mine. :) With your decision for the neckline finishing, I'm wondering which finish would be most useful for how you want to wear it. If you are wanting it to be stretchy, but more structured so it won't be stretching out, I would suggest the little rolled hem. I think if you do your fav stretchy bind off, you would get more bounce back than with the icord bindoff. However, if you're wanting it to be able to rely on the structure more, I would choose the icord bindoff.
Hey, just ran over here from knit sip something (edit, Happy. Found it lol). I don't usually watch it but anyway, her what she's wearing section... She does an edging that you need girl! I think she said it's a purl, knit, knit. It has a bump, then a tiny curl back. Amazing.
Having just knit the pattern (feelgoodcablesweater)….i did it all to pattern….,I think you need a small simple edge…I’d go with just picking up stitches & then bind off. The cables are so strong I don’t think you want anything too overpowering at the neckline.Looking great tho…❤
Highly recommend the tonight top by lily kate makes. I’ve made 2 now for my daughter who is 27. It has a turtle neck but I made a folded rib neck. The finishing is so great.
I’ve been eyeing that one for a little bit now too! I’m happy to know you enjoy it! I’ll add it to the list!!! Thank you
For your cabled sweater I would go for the finish where you just pick up and then bind off. I recently did this for a vest I was knitting and was really surprised with how well it turned out. Also i would worry that an i-cord would pull the neckline to much :D
That low v-neck looks stunning on you!! And actually, the whole garment looks great (tho I too would finish the edges). I’d keep it and make another one rather than frogging. Also, cotton can always be shrunk a little bit by careful drying, so stretching doesn’t mean a lot.
Thank you!! I think it actually looks way better in the video than it does in real life. The edges just don’t sit quite right and I think a few less stitches would be better. My dryer is so aggressive I am terrified to throw any hand knit objects in there 😬
@@akaNoraKnits lol I stand there with my hand on the door, so I don’t forget, and often just a few minutes will bring cotton back into shape-and then of course with wear it stretches again. Think of how your jeans behave. I wouldn’t dry any wools.
I like the shorter rolled edge, but I feel like that means you're leaning towards the i-cord because whenever you ask one of these things you always go for a different option than I'd go for lol
😂😂😂😂 I am genuinely so torn between both of those options!
What has kept me from the tolsta (both tank and tee) is the excess amount of fabric that seems to go from the shoulder edge to underarm. Maybe thats just the fit rebecca prefers but like you were showing with the bust shaping, there us just too much fabric going on there? Even in the pattern photos (i dont think her green one is modeled with the bust darts but i could be wrong?) there is just so much underarm bunching happening?!
I guess I hadn’t noticed in the pattern photos that the triangles do appear to be like folded in on the sides? So there is excess fabric that’s just kind of tucked in? It’s certainly a strange option if that’s the case in the final object. I’m curious to see how mine will fit differently after I fix it
I agree that the 2-row rolled edge matches the cable vibes the best.
First of all, sorry for the suggestion on the Tolsta that didn’t work.
Second, the designer did the cami in black and did a white crochet edging along the top. I don’t know how that would look with the pretty plum you have, but if you wanted something that pops?
I like the I-Cord edge
Great podcast, as always 🤩
For your sweater neck edge, how many i-cord stitches did you do? I would do just 2. I also saw below someone recommending a purled i-cord. I have to youtube that right now!
Now to the Tolsta. I agree with you so much. I was eagerly awaiting this pattern. I was going to do what your plan was/is - cami front, vest back. I have done a few v-neck tanks and the arm hole shaping/decrease rate has been very similar between the different patterns and designers. The Tolsta is very different and made no sense to me. On a closer look I saw that there is all this fabric in the armpit in Rebecca's pictures. Really don't want that! And then I realized that I actually don't like how wide the v-neck is. So I completely made up all the shaping. Luckily it turned out really well. I also found a bunch of mistakes in the pattern that shouldn't be there. A bit disappointing.
Once I finish one of my summer wips I'll cast on the vest claire and I am really excited about that one!
If you love the pattern style (I do too) I can highly recommend patterns by Susanne Mueller/Paula Strickt. She is not fully size inclusive but her patterns are really good. I just purchased her newest Tropez sweater which is actually crochet!! Wish me luck with that 😁 (I don't crochet - yet)
I like the rolled edge out of those 3 choices. It’s beautiful!
Thank you!
Your lights flashed in agreement when you said ‘I should not have done the bust shaping’ 😊
😂😂 the AC is sucking all of the power out of the house on these hot days hahah
For the edge of the cable sweater: I used to pick up and bind off in those situations, but now I single crochet around the edge, and it gives a similar look but so much faster!
I was wondering about a single crochet as well! It would look the same as binding off.
I think I’ll try both!! Thank you!
Love your podcast, Nora. I would recommend the Sabai top by Susanne Muller (PaulaStrickt) for your new yarn. I've just knitted it and it's lovely. Also, for the neckline of your cable sweater, I would pick up and then work a round of purl stitches, then bind off. I think the purl bumps would make the edge look neat.
Thank you!! I so appreciate the suggestion-I’ll have to check it out! I’ll definitely try it remember the purl edge for my next round of samples! Thank you
The real Saturday is here! -The fake was also very good, let's do it again! 😆- Today I have no knitting to go with the video, but while I work you make my day more bearable, Thanks Nora!
😂😂😂 thank you for joining me!!
As much as i dont like mixing knit and crochet, i would be interested to see how a row of sc would look around the neck line. It would hide the raw edge without distraction from the cables maybe xx
lol I do love a chance to sneak in a little crochet! I think you’re right!!
@@akaNoraKnits good luck! I'm sure whatever you settle on will be fab! Xx
or a slip stitch crochet edge seems easier than picking up stitches just to bind off right away 😂 might just be because I personally hate picking up stitches
Loved the podcast as always 😄About the feelgoodcablesweater, I would actually love to see how the fourth option of picking up stitches and just binding off look, but otherwise, I would go with the i-cord. Maybe even the i-cord with a purl from Kutovakika's pattern to make it look flatter. Good luck with that and I hope you have a lovely rest of your weekend ❤
Thank you!! I think you are so right! I have more sampling to do 😅
I like the 2 rolled edge simple is best! Love ya
Thank you!!! Love you!! 💛
For the cabled sweater, I like the i-cord idea; but maybe at a smaller gauge to keep it from being too bulky? Also, perhaps a simple crochet slip stitch border would tidy up the edge without adding bulk. Luv seeing all the progress on it! Keep on truckin'!
I think you’re so right about something less bulky! I hadn’t thought to try a crochet slip stitch, but that could be exactly what it needs! Sounds like I have more sampling to do 😅
@@akaNoraKnits the crochet slip stitch *could* be a bit tight, but yeah, could work at a loose enough gauge. Good luck playing around with it! And thanks for sharing your process - helps to remind me that when I hit roadblocks in my own projects, it's all part of the creative process of this wonderful hobby! 🥰
Hi Nora! I also knit the Tolsta tank with a vest back and cami front. I raised the front vee about an inch. Mine should be finished by now, but my applied i-cord around the neck pulled in the bottom of the vee a lot, so I need to re-do that, as well as knit the i-cord finishing around the armholes. But, otherwise I love the pattern (already have another vest version).
Re: a tank pattern you might like, I’d suggest the Mixed-Rib Cami by Florence Miller, the Seagrass Tank by Samantha Guerin, or the Leela Top by Caidree
I love the fact that the pattern allows for so much creativity! I adore the look of that Mixed-Rib Cami! I need to find the patience to do that much ribbing across a garment. I’ll have to check out the others! Thank you!!
I’m knitting the Tonight Top by Lily Kate makes and would recommend. Someone here on TH-cam (balanced
Skein maybe?) did a really great review between the tonight top and the midi mock neck top by Jessi maed
hi nora! love the pod (:
i would personally prefer the option of the i-cord edge, or the pickup and bind off method for the feel good cable sweater.
also- where do you get your fun knitted visuals? i've always been curious, but always forget to ask.
Thank you!! I think I’ll sample a few more great suggestions to get it right! I love that I can turn to you all!! I use a combination of Canva, ProCreate, AI and the whole Adobe family to create all of the graphics! I’m glad you think they’re fun too 💛
I recently finished my Tolsta tank Cami version with Coboo. I love the idea of flipping it and wearing the back on the front. Do you think making a tank with two backs woodwork for a higher neckline?
So fun!! I totally do! I think the back has a really pretty boat neck and as long as you add a finish to the edge, it looks just right!
How smart to try 3 different edges!
I figured it be easier than doing the whole thing and not liking it 😅
My two cents....I like the 4th option you mentioned for finishing the neckline of your cabled sweater!
I think I do too!
I'm leaning towards the two row edge, the i cord is a little bit much I feel.
I really like the linen-paper fabric, but I think I couldn't use it for a garment. The chance that I spill something on it is just too high!
I’m so torn 😅 hahaha I always say that about nicer garments!!
I'd do the Icord edge :)
Well you sealed the deal I must get the tolsta tank pattern. I have watched Rebecca's videos and all these great knitters sharing their projects and now I can't stand it. I have projects with deadlines . I have wips, I have hibernating projects that I really really mean to get back to. I have stuff that needs to be frogged. But I also have purple cotton linen blend yarn and extra needles and as soon as your video is over I will have the pattern too
😂😂😂 sometimes, it’s just nice to have an easy go-to pattern that has allllll the options to suit your mood!
@akaNoraKnits it also helps pacify the husband when he scans thru the credit card charges and says with bugging eyes, another pattern?????!!!!! How many is that this month????? You can't even knit that many things in a month!! But honey it's a really good value like 12 patterns in one!
Hi Nora, im knitting the tolsta tank and have ripped back my first try as i dodnt like the fit. On my second go now and im omitting the slip stiches and plan to add an i cord, the fabric curled a lot with the slip stitch and was not good. I'm hoping this second go will be just right 😃
How interesting! I feel the same-to be fair, I also felt that way looking at the designer’s photos, so I always figured I’d add an edge to it. I think that’s the nice thing about the tolsta, that you can use it as a base for more creativity
I like the 2 row rolled edge
I-cord edge looks best and keep in mind this pullover will grow. So it will get big around the neck too.
Check out the Sabai top. Also I'd go for the icord :)
I think because the sweater pattern is "busy", a more simple edging...the rolled edge would look great...less is more!
My LYS, Taming the Ewe, in Gadsden AL has Asaginu on clearance in ur color.
I liked the look of the shorter rolled neck but I also don’t think I would necessarily want a rolled neck on a sweater either lol I think I’d choose the icord, I don’t think it takes away from the cables.
Thank you for the feedback! It’s a weirdly tough choice hahaa
Ah, so looking forward to this video! But I have to say, to prevent my eye from twitching too too much, that in the last video you were talking about the Clematis top and saying Cleh-mah-tis. It's Clem-a-tis, with a short A.
Ok I can go back to watching now 😂
Hahahaa I always appreciate annunciation tips! Thank you!
Out of the shower and ready to relax with Nora! Is anyone else doing the Ravellenics? Getting all my projects set up and hopefully lots of motivation!
Woohoo! Thanks for being here!!
What is the Ravellenics?😊
@@sandracroley9784 Good Morning! Ravellenics is a knitting challenge through Ravelry during the Olympics.
@@TheSablelou thanks! I'll go look into it 😊
@@sandracroley9784 It’s a really fun way to work through stash or give you the extra motivation to finish that project that’s been on the needles for a while . . .
Did I miss an episode? I feel like I haven't seen the finished sand cardigan, last I remember you were working on the buttonband O=
😅 you have not missed a thing! It’s on a little summer vacation havaa
Hi, have you checked out pattern bt The Wolf Knits for a tank top.
For the Tolsta Maybe you could just rip out the top front and do decreases exactly where you pinched it?
I was wondering the same thing, but I think that would definitely take away the ability to wear it backwards…definitely something to consider though!!
I think the 2 row rolled hem kind of keeps the vibe of the sweater while giving it a bit more structure. It is gorgeous!
@@akaNoraKnits makes sense!
How about the flatter I chord like on the saylor swift tank? That’s what I think I would do for the neckline of the big cable sweater
I think I’ll try it!!
hi it may be too late but couldn't you just undo the fronts and decrease out the extra dart stitches above the bust, as if you were sewing in the dart? btw I haven't watched the whole episode.
Team two rolled edge!😂
How many stitch i-cord did you use? If you think it is too bulky- could you use a fewer stitch i cord?
I think I should try a smaller i cord! I’m pretty sure I had done 5 stitches to match the back of the neck
Do the Icord edge. Complements the cables
I think I’ll try a smaller i cord too!
