❤ love the sweater. I am so excited as this will be my first Norma sweater attempt. Can't wait to see the porcelain sweater in another colour

[@nestledinknits]

Thank you ♥️
It's definitely a fairly easy pattern, go for it!

[@wiesvanderbeek1507]

Hi Mathilde, I just found your podcasts and immediately subscribed 😅 So inspiring to see you talking about knitting. Love your pattern and yarn choices

[@nestledinknits]

Thank you so much for subscribing ♥️ let me know if there's anything in particular you'd love to see from me!

[@leslienero7884]

You're so close to finishing your wips, I encourage you to do it! Besides, there are now so many other things you want to knit.

[@nestledinknits]

I definitely am! Focusing on finishing my Cumulus Blouse & Moon Set Tee before I can cast on anything else, but then my older WIPs will still get priority I think
Thanks for the encouragement ♥️

[@lindapayne9474]

Congratulations on over 1,000 subscribers!

[@nestledinknits]

Thank you Linda ♥️

[@AliceOfSpring]

I'm on KAL with you. It's great althoug I only swatched so far. Can't wait to cast on. Very nice knits you have, nice colours❤

[@nestledinknits]

I haven't made that much progress on it either so don't worry about taking your time ♥️
Thanks for watching

[@KnitCheek]

Excited to join the Kal 🥰
Love your channel!❤

[@nestledinknits]

Thank you ♥️ glad you joined us 🥰

[@Knit-A-Rainbow]

Thank you for sharing my I cord bind off in the round tutorial 🩵
I always use the same needle for my I cord bind offs and just keep my tension on the looser side.
Congratulations on 1K subscribers 😊

[@nestledinknits]

Thank you for making it, it helped a lot! For some reason I can't make my tension looser, even though I tried :( but using a needle size bigger helps!
Thank you ♥️

[@lorishockley3891]

I have yarn for the porcelain sweater in the cream and bright blue like the sample! I can’t wait to make it this fall!

[@nestledinknits]

Couldn't go wrong with that colour combo 🤭 we'll be working on it at the same time then!

[@twopurlsinapod]

Hello! I'm commenting for fun 😁 Congrats on the milestone chicka!

[@nestledinknits]

Thank you ♥️♥️♥️

[@lavendercottagefibrearts]

Love the colour choice for your Book Club KAL! I haven't tried it myself but I've heard putting mohair in the freezer (in a waterproof bag obviously) can make it easier to frog as the fibres are less sticky. I found a good video for joining I-cord in the round from Roxanne Richardson.

[@nestledinknits]

Ohhh thank you I'll definitely try that then, when it comes time to frog the bottom of the body!
I may have forgotten to include it in the description 🙈 (will add it now) but I used a tutorial by Kimberley McAlindin that was great too!

Bonjour Mathilde!
J’ai découvert ta chaîne grâce à two purls in a purl. J’habite en France aussi, en région parisienne. Allez courage pour tes en cours, t’y es presque!
Pour le book club kal je ne suis pas sure de pouvoir participer car en ce moment je n’ai pas trop le temps, et quand je tricote je préfère des choses simples, par contre en ce moment je lis beaucoup et je t’encourage à commencer À court of Thorns and roses, mais attention tu risques de vouloir lire plus que tricoter. Si tu lui donnes un chance, je te conseil de lire le premier tome sans attendre grand chose et juste te laisser aller. Perso j’ai beaucoup aimé les lire mais ce n’est pas non plus de la grande littérature.
Je suis super fan de Emily henry aussi, j’ai dévoré ses 5 livres. Tu les as tous lus?
Bon tricot et bonne lecture,
À bientôt,
Sara.

[@nestledinknits]

Merci pour ton message Sara ♥️
Pas de pression si tu ne veux pas participer au KAL, il y en aura sûrement d'autres plus tard 😊 depuis que j'ai filmé le podcast j'ai commencé A court of Thorns and Roses, je pense que vu que je n'avais pas d'attente particulière ça va je suis plutôt agréablement surprise, c'est pas le meilleur livre au monde haha mais oui il est quand même plutôt intriguant !
J'ai lu tous ses livres oui, je les ai adoré aussi ! Tu as lu le dernier ?
N'hésites pas à me contacter sur Instagram pour papoter si tu as un compte 🥰
Bon tricot !
