You are the definition of a fearless knitter! I plan to tell any new knitters who are “afraid” to take the next step to watch this episode.
Thank you so so much! I am always here to cheer on the beginner knitters! 🥰💛
nora i cannot believe this is your FIRST year of knitting. you have explored more than knitters i know who have been at it for 30 years. bravo. beautiful sweaters. thank you for featuring less expensive yarns.
Thank you so much!! 🥰
Girl! You are fearless. I was a knitter for 10 years before I attempted a sweater. I have sooooo many cowls and shawls. Now I am amassing sweaters.
I think I just enjoying diving in headfirst in most things I do in my life 😅 it doesn’t always work out, but I’m glad I took the same approach in this craft! I also know myself and the way I would wear my knits which meant that sweaters would make the most sense in my wardrobe! Happy sweater knitting!!
Starting sweaters soon. Thanks the video. You're darling.
I have to echo the "fearless" sentiment. Following your journey is so much fun. I held myself back for ages due to not wanting to make something "wrong" and rarely made anything until i got over myself. It turned out allowing myself to be bad at things helped me be better, who knew.
As someone who loves to try new things, I’ve found out that I learn best by doing. It’s something that I am grateful to know about myself and am so happy to share with you all 💛
Fellow CT knitter here 🙋I can't believe you knit multiple sweaters this past year! I also really appreciate you breaking down the cost of each knitted object. It's making me reflect about my own consumption (and fiscal decisions) when crafting.
Small world! Hello!! I’m glad you’ve found it helpful! I just like to try and remain aware, so this was enlightening for me as well!
Oh give the Provence another chance. Don’t let her beat you!!! I’ve never seen a more skilled and prolific first-year knitter, you can do anything!!🎉. It’s great to see the joy you’re getting and creating in this new yarny adventure! And you did a great job modeling too.
I think she will get her time this Spring! It’s so close to just throw aside! Thank you for the compliment 🥰🥰🥰
You are the most brave knitter I have ever seen 🎉 I’m so looking forward to seeing all your new projects in the 2024❤🧶🥰
What! You just started knitting in January of 2023?! That is amazing!
I am in awe of your knitting ability in just a year!! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much!!
To say you amaze me is a boring comment at this point, because since I discovered you I have not commented anything else. What an inspiration you are and how proud you should be of yourself. Your enthusiasm and sense of humor are probably the two things that make you a great knitter and great podcaster. I'm nosey about your March birthday. I have one too, on the 15th. Go pisces. Keep swimming girl!
Thank you so much, this made me smile! I appreciate it! A March birthday buddy! I am the 22nd and my sister is the 17th. I am justtttt on the cusp as an Aries!
Wow, I’ve never seen anyone set/accomplish a goal in such a quick and amazing way! You are so inspiring and your enthusiasm is infectious. What a breath of fresh air you and your videos are! Yay! I see that you finished your Augustins dress! Gorgeous! 😍 That’s hands down my favorite project of yours this year. Although I’m still just a crocheter, my favorite project that I completed this year was my red crochet dress inspired by @olgapoltava and her beautiful crochet dress and tops. ❤️
Thank you so so much! I’m glad you caught the peek!!! 💃 sounds like it was a year of red dresses! I’ll have to check that one out-I’d love to find a little more time to squeeze in some crocheting in 2024! Thank you for sharing!!
You are simply amazing! I have never met anyone who took on knitting like you have. You are an inspiration to us all! Love all the things you’ve made.
Thank you so so much 🥰
Damn girl!! You’re on fire!! Love ALL of your knits from 2023!! Can’t wait to see what you do in 2024! Happy New Year!!
Thank you so much!!! 🥰
I learned to knit last summer (2022) and I’ve made a few items but nothing as intricate as your items…You give me such motivation/inspiration to get out of the comfort zone and go for the big/scary knits!! You go Nora 🎉
i literally went "oh my gosh yaaaay!" when you showed the finished christmas dress, it looks absolutely fantastic. what an inspiring first year of knitting, so glad i found your channel this year ❤
Thank you so much! I’m glad you caught the sneak peek!!! 🥰
Absolutely loved seeing everything from your first year of knitting! I never would have guessed you’d been knitting less than a year if I’d only seen a few of your FOs! So enjoy your videos, you are absolutely adorable. Can’t wait to see what you make in 2024!
Thank you so much!!! 🥰
I love that video and your whole story with knitting - wish I’ve documented my first year knitting like this :) Great job! ❤
Thank you so much! I’m so happy that I can look back at everything and see just how much I’ve grown!
Watching this and seeing your progression, achievements and your finished objects gives me so much more confidence in my knitting! I Started teaching myself to knit at the end of November this year, wholly inspired by watching your videos, thank you 🥰
My favourite item that you have knitted is the All Good Dress. I can't wait to see what you make in 2024!
Aww that makes me so happy to hear! I hope you fall in love with it 💛 I wish you nothing but the best!!
@@akaNoraKnits all the best to you too, I hope you have a great New Year!
Holy cannoli!!! Not only are you a brave knitter, but your stitches are so even!! You have some raw talent!! I knitted hats and scarves for about 7 years before moving on to sweaters and socks so I’m deeply impressed!
Thank you so much!!! 🥰
I am reaching my 9th month knitting. You and I similarly continue to tackle something new with each project to elevate our skills. I enjoy watching you. Congrats!
I love hearing about another ambitious knitter! That’s awesome! Thank you for watching!! 🥰
Your red dress turned out amazing! So happy to be along for all your knitting journeys!
Thank you so much!!!
Ya know if you ever use a fiber that won’t spit splice due to a synthetic fiber in it, just knit it in as you go like carrying floats in colorwork. So easy and clean.
Hi Nora👋🏾! Congratulations on a fantastic first year of knitting. I appreciate all of your projects and am impressed by your dress (and the modifications)! I have been knitting for almost 10 years and love that you jumped into a sweater so soon after picking up your needles for the first time (as I did lol). I have 3 favorite knits of 2023 : the Tomorrow Sweater by Alicia Plummer, the Bobbles Optional pullover by Melissa Clulow and the Reading Cardigan by Brooklyn Tweed. I chuckle every time I see the knitted doggie pop whenever your pooch makes himself known too :). I wish you the very best for 2024 and will be watching as I knit along to your podcasts🌞
Thank you so so much for sharing and for hanging out here! 💛🥰
You are so talented and have a great personality and so cute. I can’t believe the things you have knitted your first year. I watch all of your podcasts.
Thank you so much!!! 🥰
Amazing! i’m in my first 6months of knitting. Seeing all the things you did this year blows my mind. you are more than an adventuous knitter, I would say you are almost like a stunt knitter!😅
Hahahaa I love that term! I will have to use that! I just enjoy a challenge! I hope you try something scary in your first year too!!!
Yaaaaay you finished The Dress!!!
Just in time!!!
i think the thanksgiving vest is my favorite!! i love the shape and the yarn choice
Thank you!! I think that one surprised me the most just by how much I love it!
Wow!!!!! I’m so impressed with you as a new knitter. I am an experienced beginner, and you inspire me!
Thank you so much!!! 🥰
The Minto sweater is absolutely insane!! It's so pretty, and it suits you so well!! Definitely on the "to-knit-list" after this🤩
You need one! After you’ve had some rest from your dress! Hahaha
Way to go Nora, very impressive! Thank you for sharing and all the best for your continued knitting journey.
Thank you so much! 🥰
I've wanted to learn to knit my own clothes since I was a teenager in the 80s, but I've always been overwhelmed and afraid to try. I stumbled on your video this morning. You are delightful! Your short knitting journey is beyond amazing! You are very inspirational. I love love love your attitude, and plan to adopt it when I start knitting! Your makes are beautiful!
I really hope you give it a try! Thank you so much for stopping by!!
This was lovely, congratulations on all that you have accomplished this year! I love your sneak peek, can't wait for your reveal!
Thank you so much!! I’m glad you caught it! 💃
Brava Nora…👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻…you are a true inspiration! Thank you for sharing your successes and challenges from 2023. I love your enthusiasm and your creativity. Can’t wait to see what 2024 brings…thank you…🤗🎊🧶💗
Thank you so much!! 🥰
WOW! You are way braver than I am. Good for you! You are correct in saying it is mostly knits and purls and after that just go for it. The worst that can happen is you have to rip it out and start again. You inspire me.
That's the truth!!! Thank you so much 🥰
Omg you got the dress finished! It's beautiful. I'm so impressed by how much you've knit, I'm only half way through my first dress (which I started about 6 months ago) and you've finished 2 this year! I also love the korshavn cardigan. I want to knit one but add crochet fruit so it looks like a fruit basket.
Just in time!!! I think I need to chill on the dress knitting in 2024 lol. They take up soooo much time! I’M OBSESSED WITH THE CROCHET FRUIT IDEA! Please keep me posted on that! 💛
I normally never commend (because yay anxiety) but I just wanted to tell you that you really are my comfort youtuber to watch and you inspire me a whole lot
This made my heart so happy 🥰 thank you so much!!!!
LisaR: Your Ranunculus - WOW ! Also , Sari chevron is gorgeous! It's the only one I've seen that definitely has zero Charlie Brown vibes .. Sari is such a great talent , but I wasn't drawn to this one until seeing yours - SoooGOOD! I've been knitting a long time , its a sweet reminder of the early days:) wishing you many more years of happiness while fearlessly trying "all the things"as you do now 😊
Thank you so much!!! I think my Ranunculus is the piece I'm most proud of despite the fact that I wear it the least. Thank you so much!!
Congratulations Nora!!! What an amazing parade of finished, and almost finished knits, from 2023! Not only a year of knitting, but your 1st year of knitting. Wow. I love your channel and can't wait for 2024!
Thank you so so much!! 🥰
It had been an absolute joy following you on the start of your knitting journey!!! I've thoroughly enjoyed your videos and you've definitely been an inspiration for me. I've just finished my first Ranunculous and currently choosing yarn to start my Lykke! Thank you for sharing the good, the bad and the wonderful ❤ I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, your dress is fabulous! Happy New Year lovely 🎉 xx
Aw thank you so so much! I appreciate you joining me on this journey and how cool to share a common thread of projects! Sincerely, this warmed my heart. Thank you so much! 🥰 Happy New Year!!!
I need to go yarn shopping with you. You’ve got an amazing ability to find bargains. I’ve been checking the thrift stores because of you. 🥰
I have always been a bargain hunter!! Haha. It is who I am in all aspects of my life and I love the thrill of the hunt in knitting! I love that you’ve been in the thrift stores! It’s just so much fun!!
Same! My area of CT thrift stores have Red Heart if anything!
I'm diving back into knitting, and this is so encouraging! Thank you!
Welcome to the party! I hope you enjoy every step of the way!!
You are an inspiration! 😍 I've been knitting for 15 years and I knit my first sweater last year. Many of the techniques and knitted items you accomplished this year are on my 2024 goal list. 😊 My daughter watched this video with me and we clapped and cheered along with you pretty much every time you said you were proud of yourself! Looking forward to 2024!!
Thank you for joining me in my joy!!! Congratulations to you on setting your goals and accomplishing them! 💛
You are FIERCE!!! I love your passion and openness to share your challenges and triumphs!!! So fun to watch! Inspiring!
Thank you so much!!! I’m here for all the ups and downs! 🥰
Impressive first year Nora. I’m ending my 4th year and just finished my first sweater in November. You are an inspiration to all knitters. The perfect state of mind to be successful too. I found your channel when I did a search for the Ranunculus (i haven’t made it past the lace yoke because my count got off so the little flowers don’t align up. Can’t decide if I should rip back or keep going.)
Your knits are truly amazing. I will be following you to see what you knit next year.
So
All the Best! 🎉
Thank you so much! Thank you for joining me!! That lace yoke almost got the best of me, but I’m so glad I ripped back restarted! I’d just consider it a practice round. Thanks for being here! 🥰
I also started knitting this year! I found your channel a few weeks ago and I just assumed that you had been knitting for a while haha. Your fearlessness has definitely inspired me to push myself even more. I started knitting with the sole purpose of knitting socks because I like how they look. I have made a few pairs of socks, 2 oslo hats, a beanie, and I had a novice sweater, but I didn't like the yarn combo I chose so I frogged it. I'm also amazed at your speed of knitting, I couldn't imagine knitting as much as you do in a month or two. It takes me like 2 months to knit a pair of socks lol. I'm excited to see what you'll do in 2024!
Well thank you for joining me on my knitting journey!! I think speed is always relative, but I also like to make it clear that I am not a particularly fast knitter! I am just fortunate to have a lot of time to knit and do try to squeeze in those rows whenever I can!! Happiest knitting!!
Great job Nora on all your beautiful knits. Love that you break down the cost of your knitting garments. Look forward to seeing more of your projects in 2024. Bravo!!!
Thank you!!! 🥰
You are awesome. Your first year knitting journey is almost identical to mine. People thought I lost my mind. Now I’ve been going strong for almost 12 years. Fearless knitters unite!!! 💪🏼
Aww yay I love to hear that! I always say the best way to learn is to just dive right in!!
If only I could Like this video multiple times... Great inspiration for new knitters...
Thank you so so much!!
🌴☀️OMG the red DREEEEESSSSS 🤭 you finished it 🌸 so beautiful on you. I can’t even take it so many advanced knitting projects in a first year of knitting, no one can tell me that girls don’t ROCK💃🏽I’m totally celebrating with you Nora🌷. I’m working on Andrea Mowry’s Big Cozy Cardi which has a huge square from hell to knit. I’ve already modified it by working a chunk of stockinette instead of the pattern stitch to give my hand & arm a break as I was for the first time ever feeling pain during knitting.
I’ve made many things this yr but my favorite knit this year is the Daily Pullover by Purl Soho. I also made it with Malabrigo Surroro, I think its one of two knits this year that I’ll definitely make again, the second is the Musselbrough Hat. I also made the Easy V sweater by Caitlin Hunter with Fishermans Wool & a Patons wool.
You’ve done a fabulous job with increasing your knitting techniques toolbox. There is NOTHING you can’t knit now💐 Thanks for this surprise video, happy new year to ya…and guess what…your next scheduled podcast is on my birthday…wooohoooo so thanks in advance for that video in advance..🤭total birthday present to meeee☀️🌴
p.s. OMGGGGGG the red dress😲😲😲hmmm who thinks she might have finished in time for Xmas? hehe💗
Thank you!!!!!! 🥰 The huge square from hell 😂😂😂 sounds like you have been busy!!! Happy Birthday to you!!! 👑💛✨
I'm a crocheter learning to knit and what I loved most is your use of dirt cheap yarns. It was so comforting to see a sweet deal create gorgeous pieces.
Since lurking in knit spaces, it felt like fancy, handdyed yarns were treated as a standard. A shock, since the crochet world loves a good deal 😅.
Anyways, I've been itching to see a knitter who appreciates the cheap yarns too. So thank you for being that person😊
Must be that post-crochet life still running through me! You can knit with whatever you want!! I think that knitting tends to use up less yarn than crochet does, so people tend to justify the pricier yarns a bit more. But I think that balance is key, and really happiness! I hope you fall in love with knitting literally anything! 💛
Yes, Nora!!!! I am so jazzed that you walk us through your knitting journey. What gorgeous knits and fun stories. Go you!!! XO
Thank you, Jennifer! I'm just happy to be here!!
Hi Nora!!! I would say the Christmas dress was my favorite, and it looks stunning on you; but the other things you have knit have been beautiful as well. I found you during the ranunculus drama, as I was having my own ranunculus drama. After about 5 cast ons, I found Sundragon Knits videos, and cast on November 14th. I am on my last row and will then will bind off🥳. I really have enjoyed it: I have wanted to make it for a while. I’m planning a lace weight one to wear over a slip dress for my son’s wedding. And I like the Frank Ochre too😂. You have made my knitting journey more fun!!! A great big ol’ thanks to you!!! Happy New Year!!! Jane
I am a very fearful knitter so seeing your projects give me a lot of inspiration. Also for your one sweater, you should see if braiding the unwoven ends is possible. It will save you so much time
I'm so happy you found some inspo here. And I cannot believe I never thought of that!! Thank you!!!
This was my first episode of yours. I cannot believe you've only been knitting for a year! You are amazing! Great job on all the finished objects and not letting a pattern get you down. I can't wait to see what you knit in your second year....must say, I am very jealous of your thrift stores! What great yarns you have found.
Welcome!!! Thank you so much! There have been so many unsuccessful trips to the thrift store, but I have been so lucky!!
Amazing! You did this all in one year. Great job. You did what I did years ago - knit a sweater first-ish lol. Best way to learn. I find many new knitters just want the item done asap which is why they do smaller items however if you really want to learn - make a garment :) takes longer but best way to learn in my opinion. All beautiful items you have made.
Thank you so much!! I always feel like it’s good to just dive in! I learn best by doing, so why not just do?? Thank you for watching!
Wow. So inspirational! I’ve been knitting off and on throughout my 64 years of life and I still haven’t tackled a full on adult all-over cable sweater, nor an adult dress. You are awesome! And I love that you budget by using free patterns and great deals on yarn. I spend WAY too much.
Thank you so much!! I enjoy a good bargain and I feel like I have found a good balance this year in saving and splurging for different projects. It makes the whole process more fun for me! I say dive in to a cabled sweater! It’s definitely one of my most worn!! Best of luck!
Wow! 🤩 What a first year you have had. Such a lot of beautiful projects and your Christmas dress is stunning. There's no doubt you are very talented. I loved your Ranunculus too. The only thing I can think of as a challenge for 2024 is to try colour work - maybe a Norwegian style sweater as your next Christmas project?? I look forward to following your channel this new year. Happy 2024 😄
Thank you so much!! I think you are reading my mind!! ✨
First time watching your video. Amazing what you have done as a new knitter. Looking forward to watching future videos!!!
Thank you!!!
I really enjoyed watching this, as a newish knitter who seems to have a similar 'what have I got to lose?' approach to projects. I, too, have been very thrifty about yarn, which makes it easier to take chances on new stuff. My favorite this year was a worsted weight (fas) red cabled sweater whose pattern photo inspired me to learn to knit, but I took 3 years, unlike you and the Augustin dress
I’m happy to hear of another ambitious knitter!! It’s all relative!! As long as you enjoyed it and I hope the finished object is something you love and are proud of!!
So so amazing! They're all beautiful! - Kimberly
Thank you, Kimberly!!!
You are amazing!!! You should be extremely proud!!
Thank you!!!
You are such an inspiration I loved how you jumped right into knitting without fear. You’re awesome.
Thank you so much! 🥰
What can I say! Way to go! Pretty impressive projects for your first year.
Thank you!!
What ?! It’s your first year knitting ? Waouh, so many projects, and challenging ones 😮 My first yearS of knitting i just did ugly scarves and barely wearable sleeveless sweaters 😅 You’re amazing i am impressed !
Hahah thank you!!!! 🥰
I am in awe! I knew you were a new knitter but had no idea how far you’d come in a year! You’re fierce! I thoroughly enjoy your can do attitude and projects.
Thank you so much 🥰
You not only are a fearless knitter, you are a fast knitter. Your Christmas dress came out amazing. Can’t wait to see what you knit in 2024 ❤
Maybe I should time myself one day, because I don’t really feel like a fast knitter. But thank you!! 🥰
Nora - you are amazing…”gee I think I’ll learn to knit…and make sweaters!” Plus I love your yarn thrifting adventures too. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!!! 🥰
Afterthought heels are great. Nice work
What a wonderful first year of knitting you had. So many projects. So many customizations. So many different items. And to top it off, your Christmas dress looks amazing!
Thank you so much! 🥰
You took on some amazing knots and learned quick!
Wow!!!! One year of knitting your doing fabulous!!!
Such a great video! My favorite knit I made this year was my zipper sweater by petiteknit. I finished knitting in July and finally sewed in the zipper 2 weeks ago. I have been wearing it daily! As for the project that you made, it was definitely the ranunculus! Seeing your journey knitting helped me be more accepting of my mistakes, learning to laugh at them , and being okay with frogging back. Plus your finished object was beautiful! Excited to see the Christmas dress!
Thank you so much! I can completely relate to that! Some things just take time 😅😂 the ranunculus will always hold a special place in my heart! I’m so glad that you were able to laugh with me and bring that into your own craft. Thanks for being here!
Wow! That is amazing! And so are you! Keep going😊
Thank you!!
it's so funny, I'm watching your video as I'm knitting socks with the patton kroy yarn. I'm doing them on straight needles ankle-down. Your stuff looks great!
I love when that happens! Thank you!! I hope your socks make their way off the needles 😂
Wow! I had no idea you only have a year into your Knitting journey! You are golden girl! I love your channel. You make everything so beautiful. I really tune in to see your fresh eyes to the modern (and classical) style knits and inspos.
One of my knits that I was so proud of this year was ‘Look at my holes’. While, (by the comments), it came easy to most, it was a huge challenge to me! However, after ripping back several times, I got into my rhythm. It turned out beautiful! I didn’t let the mistakes defeat me! Cheers to our 2024 creative journey ! 🧶🤍✨
Thank you so much!!! 🥰 Congratulations on tackling that one!!
So fun!! You have come a long way baby!!🎉🎉🎉
Hi! I love all of your podcasts but I especially loved this one. I'm inspired to try more new things in 2024 because of your "take it in small chunks" philosophy. I really like that and one of the stitches I've been afraid of is Brioche but I'm going to find a beginner pattern and tackle it so thank you for giving me the guts to DO IT! I think I am overthink things sometimes but you've definitely inspired me so I'm going stash diving tonight. My favorite project of yours is definitely your dress - so beautiful! Hugs from Texas!! Happy New Year!
Awww this made my heart so happy! Thank you so much! One step at a time and don’t be afraid to rip back or take a break! I think I have to try brioche this year as well! We shall see how it goes! Good luck!!
Jonna mentioned you on their most recent podcast. So happy she did. I really like that you broke down the cost of each project. So many podcasters spend unrealistic amounts of money than what I am willing to spend. Well done!
I’m so grateful to her! Kim and Jonna have been so warm in welcoming me to the podcast world! I’m glad you found the cost breakdown helpful! I really like to be aware of how much I’ve spent on my hobby too!
Can’t wait to see what’s next! There is nothing boring about your choices! Exciting knitting journey!
Nora Girl! You knit a whole ass dress in your FIRST YEAR OF KNITTING. That alone is an accomplishment! I love your blog and can't wait to see what you come up with in 2024. I'm planning the all good dress, and next year I want to tackle brioche 😵 and colorwork (stranded and mosaic)
Hahah thank you!! The Allgood is seriously alllll good! Such a relaxing knit! Just miles of stockinette and comfy but chic! I think you and I have similar goals! Good luck to us 😅
Haha Good 4 u dear !!! GBU and congrats on marriage . May both of U be blessed by the Lord .
Such a great idea to look at your sweaters for the year this way. Very informative. Thank you!
I highly suggest doing a little inventory check for all knitters! If you can find themes or gaps in your knitting, it is so helpful moving forward!
Nora! felicitarte por ese maravilloso vestido rojo terminado! te ha quedado de locura! hermoso! Feliz entrada al nuevo año!
Gracias!!!! Feliz año nuevo a ti!!
as a beginner knitter who also started as a crocheter, i’m incredibly grateful you included the amount of time each project took. i’m used to things like shirts, sweaters, etc building up within 1-3 days. i started on my first sock ever last week and couldn’t believe how long it takes with such fine sock yarn 😭😅 i kept thinking is this normal, is it supposed to take this long?? but now i definitely see knitting is just a whole other process within itself! i do prefer the way knit garments look so i’m excited to progress. awesome video, thanks for the motivation!
Hahahahaa right?!! It definitely takes some getting used to, but I’ve learned to enjoy the longer time frames! I hope you stick with it! Please feel free to message me anytime if you are finding yourself stuck! I’m sure our similar background could come in handy! Happiest Knitting!
I was definitely not this adventurous when I first started knitting. Well done! (Not that I’ve been knitting for a long time but still) I don’t get a lot of knitting time so my favorite thing I knit this year was a WW2 vintage cabled sweater vest. Ranunculus is in my list too!
Thank you!!! That sounds like such a fun way to knit!! Thank you for sharing!!
Oh wow! You finished the dress! I was thinking of you all day on Christmas wondering if you finished. It looks fabulous. When you first said you were going to go for it my thoughts were "of course because she is so adventurous - but no way will she get it done!". I'm impressed. As a knitter with decades of knitting I am super impressed with what you took on and achieved in your first year of knitting. Go you!
Thank you so much! I doubted it myself!! I will admit that it was very down to the wire, and definitely ate into my Christmas relaxing time, but it is done!!
Hi from Denmark. Hjerte is the Danish word for heart. So fitting that you love your dress. It is beautiful. And the 212 is a great yarn.
Ohh and garn is yarn. So heart- yarn
You look so beautiful in you Christmas dress 😭
Thank you so much!!! 🥰
Perfect thing to watch during my lunch hour/knitting time.
You've made amazing progress in your first year, Nora. Your knitting is beautiful, and I love your ambition and bravery to just try it.
Don't know about you, but it feels like you've been streaming forever. You're made for it x
Thank you so so much 🥰🥰🥰🥰
@akaNoraKnits you more than deserve it 😘 did you see your shout out on Kim and Jana by the way? X
Adventurous! Bold! Inspired! When I was a new knitter I was afraid to try big projects and learn all the new techniques! I think my favourite garment you knit is the warm-up sweater in the lite lopi just because of how much fun your stripes are! You played around and created a sweater that looks like it came off the rack! My favourite knit this year was a FlaxLight sweater by Tincanknits that I made using impulse bought yarn from a vacation to Montreal. Looking forward to 2024 and super congrats on finishing the Augustine dress!! 🎊🎊🎊
Wow thank you so much!!! I really love that one too!! What a compliment 🥰 I am overdue to check out some Tincanknits patterns! Thank you for the reminder!!
So proud of you. Bravo
Thank you so much 🥰🥹
W O W !!! Great video and great knits!!
Thank you!!! 🥰
Wow, I've been knitting on and off for about 10 years and still haven't been brave enough for socks! Nice job! I am hoping to try socks in 2024.
They’re overrated hahaha 😂 personal opinion, but I think I’d rather knit hats for now!! Definitely worth trying though!
Hey girl! I atarted knitting exactly a year ago as well, completely fell in love with knitting and have completed 3 sweaters and a gazillion hats and scarves 😅 absolutely loved this video and yay for new knitters!! I wanted to let you know for your sweater with a too wide neckline, you can try putting in an elastic thread to tighten it up a bit! Might be just the fix you're looking for!
Yayyy another newer knitter! Thanks for watching & for the tip!!!!
What a talent you are! 👏🤩
This was one of the most enjoyables 2023 Knitting round-ups I have watched, especially because it is so interesting to see your learning and knitting evolution through the months. You are most definitely a fearless knitter, throwing yourself into a cable sweater for a test knit! wowzer! Definitely inspiring me to take risks more often! Happy NY Nora, looking forward to more episodes and to witness your second year of creativity.
PS: My most favourite knits are complete opposites: I have a super fun multicolor Lento sweater that reminds me of the joy I get of mixing colours and having fun with them in a simple sweater. And then my Alder sweater, a great pattern and a test knit experience I enjoyed thoroughly, and a proof to myself that I can learn whatever when I put my mind to it, if I give myself permission to try and succeed.
I don’t think I realized how crazy that was until I said it out loud in this video 😅 thank you so much for the compliment! It really means a lot !!! That lento is something that peaks my curiosity! Definitely have to look into it this year. I love your mindset-I believe the same. Thank you for sharing and happy new year!!

Congratulations-you should be very proud of all that you tackled and completed in a single year. When I came across your you tube earlier this year I had no idea how new a knitter you were. Your videos are always upbeat - thank you, happy new year. What will you knit in 2024?

🥹🥹🥹 right?! Thank you!!!! 🥰
Love this episode. You are a courageous knitter. It’s great how you jump into a project and make it your own. Be proud of you all your accomplishments. I thought you’ve been knitting for years. Thanks for sharing this webs. You inspire me others to just go for it! We’re always learning in the process . My goal moving into 2024 is to complete at least 6 sweaters and to learn a some new techniques like steering, brioche, and do mosaic knitting.
Thank you so so much! 💛 it sounds like you and I have some similar goals for the new year! Good luck with all of yours!!
