Be careful not to stress yourself too much about the wedding dress too close to the wedding. You want to enjoy the time leading up to the wedding not be extremely stressed! The good thing is that your dress and sleeves already look perfect. iI you did no more embellishing than just the belt you would still look stunning. Winter princess! I am sure some nicely placed pearls of beads will look beautiful but I truly don't think the dress needs it. It is the opposite of boring the way it is now (the length needs to be finished obviously). And your Dagmar looks amazing!
Thank you so much❤️❤️ Yes!! I definitely don't want to end up super stressed out😬 But I also want to work on the wedding dress the whole time leading up to the wedding, both so it can be part of the whole journey and to give myself time to figure out exactly how I want it😅🥰 The belt did A LOT for the whole look, and getting the sleeves done helped too! I don't want to do too many embellishments, but I don't feel like the main wedding dress is very bare. When paired with the mohair, it's fine because there is so much going on with the different fabrics, but on its own, it's very plain/too plain? And I think it's very likely the mohair will have to go at some point throughout the day😅 But as I said, I can't really make my mind up😅😂 The length might be a good place to focus first!
@@norwegianknitter In the end all that matters is that you are happy with it! My style is very simple so I don't think the dress will be plain without the sleeves. The mohair skirt adds a lot of interest. But if you want some more - go for it! I would probably try to make a drawing of the bead placements. Or copy the placement from a picture of a wedding dress. Coming up with a design completely on your own isn't easy. It will be gorgeous in the end whatever you do.
Knitting burn out gets me so so bad around the holidays, i’d worry less about the deadline and more about the finished work like you said! you’ll like what you gift to them way more if you take your time!! also maybe have a goal for each project and inbetween each goal weave in 2-3 ends. I do that for mine i do like 10 rounds on my hat and then move to my sweater to do something i don’t like, for example i added my zipper! everything is so so so pretty!
I have struggled a bit with that earlier year, I always start gift knitting too late😅 I'm going to try not to stress about the deadlines! I like your idea of setting goals like that! Thank you❤️
I have never thought of using my left over yarn to make felted chair cushions, what a great idea! I use mine for toques and mitts. Your wedding dress is going to look so beautiful💖
Loving all your structured knits and your sunday socks are great, I might need to make a pair for myself. My structured knit of the moment is the Storm Slipover junior by petiteknit, I'm making the smallest size for my granddaughter, also as a trial run at textured patterns as I've not really worked from charts before and i want to make the sweater version for myself. I hope you get plenty of knitting time to finish all your lovely projects.
Thank you so much! I highly recommend the Sunday socks! How is the Storm Slipover? I have considered making something in that structure, but I can't make my mind up. Good luck with your granddaughters slipover and later your sweater! I hope I'll get plenty of knitting time too🥰🙈
I can never believe just how much you put on your needles in a few weeks' time! I would be stressed too, though, with that many knit gift ideas. I started my gift knits in August, and while I'm sure I'll get them done, I'm struggling to prioritize. Best of luck with finishing the Basket of End Weaving before the start of the year. You've got this!
When I go through it like this, I can't quite understand it myself😅 I'm always good at stressing myself out with gift knitting, I always end up on a crazy deadline. Luckily, I started Christmas gifts early this year. Usually, I wait until December😅 Thank you!
Hi Oline! Oh my goodness, both of your cabled sweaters are stunning! You are definitely inspiring me to cast on the cabled Lauder vest which I have the pattern for. You have a perfect reason to delay gifts until after the holidays because of your wedding dress! I think that gifts are wonderful anytime of year and so I am wondering if you might feel less stressed if you got more knitting done on the dress sooner rather than later. I think that if it were me, I would want to get all of the knitting finished on all parts of the dress and then decide where to put the beads as the finishing touches (but of course that is just me). I am almost finished with my first Emotional Support Chicken which is a great stashbusting project, and of course there are so many beautiful blanket projects out there where you can make squares and have it be like a memory blanket of your different projects!
Hi! I'm really loving cables this fall! And they are so much fun to knit!! I hope you'll get to cast on your Lauder Vest soon❤️ I think some gifts will be delayed, but I have gotten a head start on Christmas gifts, so I might be able to get to all of them🤞🏻 I'm going to focus on getting as many parts of the dress finished as possible, but I want to continue working on it all the way until the wedding. I cast on for the dress 22nd of February this year, so I think it would make it extra special to do the last touch 22nd of February 2025, which is also the day of the wedding🥰 I hope I'll get time for an emotional support chicken this year!
I would definitely prioritize finishing and binding off the dress before I would do the beads. You can wear the dress without beads if it comes to a time crunch, but you can't wear it if it's no bound off ;) Either way it is going to be beautiful!
It's always fun to catch up with you. I also have enough yarn for all my projects this year and I keep reminding myself of it. Did you see that dress Sandnes Garn shared? I'll send to you on Instagram. Reminded me of your wedding gown. I think your dress should be whatever you love it to be. Simple elegance is beautiful too. All the best, Kimberly
Thank you🥰 Projects I don't have yarn for are always the most tempting ones😅😂 I did see the dress Sandnes Garn posted, I even got to see it in person since I was at the knit awards🤩 It's such a beautiful dress! Have a great week!
You are so beautiful with the wedding dress! U look like an Ice Princess ❄️ i would personally finish everything that i know what to do.. all the sure parts and then in the meantime think about the rest of it❤
I would start the porcelain sweater and his birthday sweater so if he sees you knitting you can say it's for your son since you're using the same color of yarns for both projects!
It's the best feeling when the zipper zips!! If he paid a bit less attention to knitting, I would! Especially since he's stated explicitly that he wants the Melange Sweater, I think he'd suss me out pretty quickly😅
It may help if you write a list of everything you have on your needles first, then the projects you have the yarn for. Then number them in priority order and stick with it! Don't allow yorself to be diverted or distracted. I know only too well how easy it is to be tempted by new ideas crowding into your head. I agree with some of the other coments that the wedding dress should be your priority because Christmas and birthdays will come around again but not your wedding day.
The hardest part is sticking with it! But you're 100% right, I need to write down my plans and stick to them! The wedding dress should definitely be the main priority, but hopefully, I'll have time for everything else too🙈
I used drops daisy with a mohair to make my champagne cardigan and is hasn't pealed a lot at all. I think like any Marino that is not superwashed, it is soft and more delicate, but holding it with a mohair helps with less pealing. I still wash all my knits by hand. I feel it helps my knits hold their shape without the friction of a machine.
My Levitate Wrap in Daisy & Kid silk has pilled less than my zipper sweater in only Daisy! But for me, Daisy has pulled a lot more than other non superwash merino yarns. But I've heard it depends on your body temperature, ect, when it comes to pilling too. I don't think I'll ever be a person who washes all my knits by hand😅🙈 But for Daisy, I'll make sn exception❤️
@@norwegianknitter I hear you! And I truly believe in doing what works for you. 😉 keep creating your beautiful knits and teaching us from your experiences. That's how we all learn in this community, from each other, and I think that is a beautiful thing!
I would say - make skirt first. In the worst case scenario it is better to have longer outer skirt than dress. Maybe make it to 10 cm before the the end and outsource some lace finishing? This would solve diffrent gauges problem if your grandma would be interested to help you (I think she'll be honoured if you ask her). I had a shawl made by my aunt at my wedding and she's forever a part of this day for me even though we weren't that close. Just imagining your grandma helping you puts tears in my eyes- I am way too invested in your dress story 😂
I'm leaning towards making the skirt first, too! Also, because that's probably the thing that'll take the least time😅 Me and my grandma and I have very different tensions, so I don't know how well it would work to let her knit on the skirt. But getting the knitters in my life to add something of their own to the day would make it so special!
@@norwegianknitter yes, we already "talked" about it. That's why I thought something like augustins blanked border (but maybe rounder - like Rune by Naomi Parkhurst?) could be a better choice because you can block the lace more easily and the difference in tension wouldn't be visible. Also, excuse me if I'm to intense with this idea. It's just that other people could bring a lot of joy were you feel already uninspired. I definitely would do it for my daughter who doesn't want to be married 😉 whatever you choose I hope you finish it quickly and have a hudge fo dopamine boost. You well deserve it!
Finally finishing the wedding dress will be such a dopamine rush! I've delegated a lot of the non-knitting tasks that come with weddings to my mom and grandma🙈
I always just have someone I know “ask” me out loud for a sweater I am planning to make for my hubby then I just pretend that’s who I’m making it for . In the end he seems to know but I think they are so excited to get something we made them the whole way along .
He knows me and everyone I know too well😅❤️ And he pays attention to knitting, so he knows the yarn and colors I used for the other Melage Sweater, I think he would catch on🙈 It's not the end of the world if he does, but I really want to be able to suprise him🥰
Could you use the 100g left over from the Sophie Shawl to make long fingerless gloves/wrist warmers to go with it? I really want to make the Zipper sweater too but I’m not sure I have the skills. I just swatched for Cardigan No. 8 for my daughter in law. She is so knit worthy ❤ I’m almost to the decreases on an Oslo Hat. Also knitting socks for a 6 yr old. It’s finally cooled here and the mojo is very strong! I think your sweaters are beautiful! The Dagmar is quite popular and I love the color you chose!
Maybe! It would make quite thick fingerless gloves, though🤔 I hope you get the confidence to make yourself a Zipper Sweater one day! It really isn't as hard as it looks!! Knitting for knit worthy people is the best! Thank you so much! I hope you keep your knitting mojo high going forward and have so much fun with all the knitting❤️
@@norwegianknitter It might also look cool with pearls on the cuff of the sleeves and/or the hem of the skirt. maybe cool or might be too much🤷♀ can´t decide
Be careful if you want to put beads on the skirt because it could be very uncomfortable when you sit down. The wedding dress is lovely as it is to me but you’ll look fabulous whatever you decide. X
Hei! Kjedelig at ulla di blir tova i vask!! 😮 vasker du ullplaggene dine alene? Uten andre plagg av andre fibre (som lager ekstra friksjon)? Og med milo? Jeg kjører all ull i vaskemaskina, og har aldri opplevd det du beskriver. Her hos meg har vi «mykt vann» kanskje det kan ha noe med det å gjøre?! Lykke til! Jeg heier på deg! 🙌🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Hei! Vasker ofte ull sammen, men separert etter farger. Men den første vasken får de ofte alene, og med milo! Jeg har heller aldri opplevd at ull tover i vaskemaskina, men hørt mange slite med at drops Daisy tover lett, selv om de kun har sentrifugert f.eks. Tusen takk!
@@norwegianknitter Ok. Jeg anbefaler i alle fall å vaske ull bare med andre plagg av ull. Jeg har 4 Drops daisy gensere (2 med mohair) de får loballer men har enda ikke tova noe.. 🤞🏻 Krysser fingra for oss begge framover!
Vasker ull sammen med bare andre ullplagg ja! Så rart at daisy ikke tover for deg. Det tova seg jo ikke for meg med prøvelappen heller🤔 Jeg håper det ikke gjentar seg, men holder meg nok til håndvask av Daisy fra nå😅
Does your fiancé ask what you're currently knitting on, or do you usually tell him what it will be and for whom? Because I was able to knit my husband's birthday present right in front of his eyes and since he didn't know what it was going to be, or that it was going to be for him, he never paid any attention to it and was very surprised at his birthday. I always have loads of different projects going at any time, which also helps.
He either asks, or if I've knitted something similar before he's able to tell from looking at it😅 When I knit my melange sweater, he recognized it from when I had made our sons melange sweater the year before. I have loads of other projects, too, so at least I have something else to work on while he's home and awake😂
What a shame about Daisy felting 😳 - and pilling. Disappointing. Have you washed Nord in the machine? I don‘t understand it being marketed as a sock yarn when it specifically says it should be hand-washed, so I‘ve been avoiding it… it looks like it would felt really easily. I just made seat pads in Drops Snow for my daughter and family and they worked out really well 😊It was the first time I felted anything. Have you timed yourself sewing in ends?! I bet you are surprised at how little time it takes and that could motivate you 😉
Yes, it really was🫠 I had hoped the felting would help the pilling, but alas.. I'm pretty sure I have washed Nord in the washing machine, but not more than once or twice. I have some socks in drops nord, and they have not felted in the washing machine, but they are pretty close to being felted at the heel, ect, from wearing them. I have tried to time myself, but I get so easily distracted and end up doing everything else at the same time, too, so I can't get a representative time😅😂
Enjoyed watching your podcast as always. My mind was blown with your beautiful wips. I was surprised when you said you took your beautiful cabled sweater with you for travel knitting. I too love a good cabled sweater but that’s my wip that I focus on and don’t anyone talk to me or for sure I’ll mess up. I love to gift knit as well but I often make socks they are appreciated and require much less of a commitment. As for your fiancé, he’s a better man than my husband. My husband pays no attention about what I’m knitting and would be clueless if it was for him. 😂
Thank you! Looking back at it, I can't understand why I chose an all over cabled sweater to be my travel WIP while traveling alone with a 3 year old😅 Luckily he was content with his books, so I got to knit some🙈 Socks are great gifts! They are my grandma's go-to for gifts, and often my aunt and mothers too, so I figured we had enough sock knitters in the family😅😂 We have an agreement that I pay attention to his special interests (tractors & farming) and he pays attention to mine (knitting) It's makes it so much more fun to chat about our days/hobbies🥰
I think you just knit right in front of him and wherever and don’t say anything about it, if he asks what you are knitting just say it’s for yourself or another person in your life that he wouldn’t guess …. I think it will be hard to get it done in a month without him seeing it so seems easier to just fake him out 😂
@heatherr9201 I would do that if I could! Unfortunately, he's too interested in what I do😂 He very well knows it's the same yarn and colors I made mine and my son's melange sweaters in. I could maybe fool him for a bit, but he would realize once it started really looking like a sweater😅

Good idea! Do you have any favorite patterns for ornaments?
@@norwegianknitter I like the tiny socks and sweaters the best! The mini stockings and trees are cute too.
Does your fiancé ask what you're currently knitting on, or do you usually tell him what it will be and for whom? Because I was able to knit my husband's birthday present right in front of his eyes and since he didn't know what it was going to be, or that it was going to be for him, he never paid any attention to it and was very surprised at his birthday. I always have loads of different projects going at any time, which also helps.
He either asks, or if I've knitted something similar before he's able to tell from looking at it😅 When I knit my melange sweater, he recognized it from when I had made our sons melange sweater the year before. I have loads of other projects, too, so at least I have something else to work on while he's home and awake😂
What a shame about Daisy felting 😳 - and pilling. Disappointing.
Have you washed Nord in the machine? I don‘t understand it being marketed as a sock yarn when it specifically says it should be hand-washed, so I‘ve been avoiding it… it looks like it would felt really easily.
I just made seat pads in Drops Snow for my daughter and family and they worked out really well 😊It was the first time I felted anything.
Have you timed yourself sewing in ends?! I bet you are surprised at how little time it takes and that could motivate you 😉
Yes, it really was🫠 I had hoped the felting would help the pilling, but alas..
I'm pretty sure I have washed Nord in the washing machine, but not more than once or twice. I have some socks in drops nord, and they have not felted in the washing machine, but they are pretty close to being felted at the heel, ect, from wearing them.
I have tried to time myself, but I get so easily distracted and end up doing everything else at the same time, too, so I can't get a representative time😅😂
Enjoyed watching your podcast as always. My mind was blown with your beautiful wips. I was surprised when you said you took your beautiful cabled sweater with you for travel knitting. I too love a good cabled sweater but that’s my wip that I focus on and don’t anyone talk to me or for sure I’ll mess up. I love to gift knit as well but I often make socks they are appreciated and require much less of a commitment. As for your fiancé, he’s a better man than my husband. My husband pays no attention about what I’m knitting and would be clueless if it was for him. 😂
Thank you! Looking back at it, I can't understand why I chose an all over cabled sweater to be my travel WIP while traveling alone with a 3 year old😅 Luckily he was content with his books, so I got to knit some🙈
Socks are great gifts! They are my grandma's go-to for gifts, and often my aunt and mothers too, so I figured we had enough sock knitters in the family😅😂 We have an agreement that I pay attention to his special interests (tractors & farming) and he pays attention to mine (knitting) It's makes it so much more fun to chat about our days/hobbies🥰
I think you just knit right in front of him and wherever and don’t say anything about it, if he asks what you are knitting just say it’s for yourself or another person in your life that he wouldn’t guess …. I think it will be hard to get it done in a month without him seeing it so seems easier to just fake him out 😂
@heatherr9201 I would do that if I could! Unfortunately, he's too interested in what I do😂 He very well knows it's the same yarn and colors I made mine and my son's melange sweaters in. I could maybe fool him for a bit, but he would realize once it started really looking like a sweater😅
Excuse me what is your name again I’m not an native English speaker and I can’t hear really well. I didn’t find it written anywhere.
Totally understandable! My name is Oline, it's a Norwegian name🥰
@@norwegianknitter oooh ok! First time I see this name, it make sense. Beautiful name btw. Thanks for your reply ☺️
Thank you❤️
