[@christinemccoy5237]

I really love that colour on you, it accentuates your hair and face perfectly. It is a lovely contrast.

[@marleneknits]

Thank you so much! I felt good in it so that’s another good reason ☺️🥰

[@Sunburntghost]

Total! Das war einer meiner ersten Gedanken, als ich das Video zu schauen angefangen habe und bevor du, @marleneknits, das Shirt überhaupt angesprochen hast: wie wunderbar dir diese Farbe steht! Das lässt dich richtig leuchten.

[@marleneknits]

@@Sunburntghost vielen Dank 🥰

[@danishmusings]

You were such good company in this video, Marlene, and I enjoyed your chat and off-topic ramblings immensely 😅🥰

[@marleneknits]

@@danishmusings thank you so much Helle 🩷

[@Thomas_mic]

Love listening to your thoughts and suggestions when it comes to choosing knitwear that suits your style, your cardigan choices are inspiring!

[@marleneknits]

Thank you so much! 🧡

[@Madaboutewes]

You will LOVE Rhinebeck! Have been going for many years and it never gets old!!!

[@marleneknits]

yayy 🐏🍂🧶 I’m so excited!

[@stinefriishals]

The book club cardigan is sooo beautiful! I really enjoy my Oxford cardigan that I knit at the beginning of the year, and look forward to adding more cardigans to my collection. I’m planning on filming a steeking tutorial quite soon, because steeking is amazing!

[@linsie.loo8]

Loved everything about this episode - the colour of your top, your hair, your plans, how you are just yourself, everything ❤ You are my fav podcast to watch. I also have the Miles Shirt jacket on my list, with no immediate plans to knit. I love looking at the pattern photos and you’re giving me sneaky excuses as to why it makes sense to add it further up my list. Can’t wait to see the progress on your current and future wips in your next episodes. I’m not a professional colour analyst, but I agree with your thoughts on being an autumn. That palette seems to suit you well. I recently did an online professional analysis and was classified as calm autumn too and noticed my colour card has some deeper shades like saffron and deepest plum mixed in with more muted shades, which is probably why your top looks so beautiful on you 😍. Of course any colour that makes you feel beautiful is a colour for you!

[@marleneknits]

wow! thank you so much for your incredibly kind words, for watching and commenting and complimenting 🥰 thank you!! and I also like sneaky excuses to add plans and ideas to my list so I totally get it! yay for autumn 🍂

[@roos7631]

Loved this video to keep me company while knitting. I really want to make a garter stitch cardigan!

[@happyhandsknittingpodcast]

Cardigans are a must for me! I am a Canadian now living in subtropical Australia-our winter gets a bit chilli (10 degrees 😂). It’s cold in the morning and evenings and warms up in the day so cardigans are perfect for popping on and off, buttoning and unbuttoning throughout the day.

[@susanrobertson5137]

The Stria Caridgan is one of my favorite things I've made. I wear it all the time and since I used leftover yarn and a lot of colors for the stripes it feels like it goes with everything. I also love the look of and knitting half fisherman's rib.

[@marleneknits]

thats so great to know Susan! it is giving „wardrobe staple“ for sure ☺️

[@HappilyKnitted]

sounds like you have some great plans :) The dark red colour looks great on you, by the way. I feel like it brings out your natural features quite nicely

[@marleneknits]

thank you so much ☺️

[@jeannert]

this comes at a perfect time as I was thinking of my autumn plans and swatching for the chuncky Mouliné cardigan! Love all the patterns you shared 🥰

[@marleneknits]

aww that’s really perfect timing indeed! happy knitting 🧶🧡

[@morganunraveled]

absolutely love your vibes & subscribed so quickly. this was such a fun roundup of dream cardigan projects! we have SO many in common! I really loved knitting the Book Club Cardigan, it was sooo fun and addictive, I couldn’t put it down 📚🧺

[@marleneknits]

thanks so much ☺️ I really appreciate it 🧡 that’s a great motivator, seeing and hearing about everyone else’s lovely experiences with the knitting of the book club cardigan!

[@RachelBearn]

Sooo many lovely patterns 😍 thank you for a great video of inspiration ❤️

[@myndolin]

I've been finishing up the end of my button band on the Step by Step Cardigan while watching, and it has been a great experience. Though I won't start another right away, I'd definitely make it again. Only recently I've gotten interested in my color season, and though I didn't get it done professionally, I used some great tools recommended online and feel good with the outcome. I'm a true/warm autumn, and my guess would be you are that or a soft autumn. Either way, I think if the colors are within your umbrella season, you can pull them off. The color you are wearing looks great on you! And though electric blue might be a stretch for us autumn girlies, jewel tones are our friends when we want to go bold. So if you are interested in something bolder/brighter than navy, maybe lean into a sapphire blue. I think you'd be surprised how fabulous it would look on you.

[@marleneknits]

thank you for sharing! I’m looking forward to casting that one on for sure :) I do love petrol-y teals and such so I guess that’s my wild card that’s a lot more saturated and deep than my usual more soft autumn range - I think it is all so interesting and fun to chat and think about 🤗

[@wyldweaverandwyrm]

I love your colour choices for the Tessellated cardigan, I'm starting mine soon for the year of the cardigan MAL/mosaic MAL.

[@marleneknits]

yay! 🥳 happy to be knitting it alongside more fiber friends!

[@KnitandGrace]

Loved catching up with you while I work on the double knit button band on my Book Club Cardigan. Can’t wait to see how your plans end up shaping out! ❤

[@marleneknits]

can’t wait to see you wear that cardigan ☺️ thanks Mia!

[@amybrass4538]

I just finished the Chunky Mouline cardigan - lovely pattern!

[@marleneknits]

oh that’s wonderful to know! 🤎

[@onepinkplumknits]

We have so many similar makes in our future (including all the fair isle)! I’m knitting the book club cardigan at the moment and test knit the nocturnal cardigan, which I have already worn so much (you can look at my last two podcasts for a peek). My favourite and most worn cardigan is the willa cardigan by Sari nordlund.

[@brookwillow]

Such a cozy video ☺️ thank you for the company while I knit on a sock!

[@marleneknits]

I‘m glad you enjoyed it, Ahna! 😊

[@makesbysophie]

Oh wow du hast meine Gedanken gelesen! 🥰 Genau dieses Video habe ich in meiner Herbst/Winter-Planung gebraucht. So viel neue Inspiration. Danke :)

[@marleneknits]

juhu, wie schön 🧡 danke dir!

[@T139w]

The noctua in the petrol-y donegal yarn would be goooorgeous😍😍😍 Loved this video!! Very inspirational 😊

[@marleneknits]

aww thanks!! 🤎

[@JenniferRoughOut]

Ooo, these are all such nice cardigans! I'm definitely feeling cardigan vibes for this autumn. I have a couple of the ones you mentioned on my list too (bookclub & tessellated!) and now you've given me some more to add... thank you! 😍 I also was looking at a couple cardigans by Isabell Kraemer (I really like the Mariechen and I love her yellow color-block/striped version of the Kallias). Earlier this year I made the Alku by Meiju K-P and I love it-- can highly recommend!

[@JenniferRoughOut]

Ooo, and I also have the new cropped version of Mam's Cardigan by Teti Lutsak on my list. It's a pretty bulky yarn, so I think it would knit up quick!

[@marleneknits]

the Alku looks really impressive! and the ones by Isabell and Teti look lovely as well! thanks for sharing some of your favorites with me 🧡

[@PaulineCoady-dd9hz]

I used to do colours with my students in Home Ec. I think that you are likely a summer/winter. Blue would be lovely on you. I see more warm pink tones than peach skin tones.

[@lillianbarker4292]

I think she’s an autumn. We look good in teal and brown. As an autumn, I’ve had to learn about colors that look good with earth tones so that we don’t always look muddy 😂.

[@marleneknits]

thanks for your take on it! I do believe though that I am likely a soft/warm autumn with tendencies towards spring sometimes! I have warm features, green/brown eyes etc and pastel/bright/clear/cold colors don’t suit me as much so I‘m pretty sure that I‘m not a winter though I agree that blue suits me well! it’s very interesting for sure.. and very much agree with you Lilian! 😄🤎

[@oldwitchknits-Ursula]

The colour of your t-shirt suits you very well. I have learned that you can also borrow some colours from your season neighbours. I am a deep autumn and found that some of the cool toned dark colours from deep/dark winter suit me better than some from the very warm palette of true autumn. And whatever makes you feel good is probably good! For the unspun - I can highly recommend holding a silk mohair with it. Helps a ton with pilling. And in my experience its better than a suri alpaca. Lastly, despite having knitted a bunch of cardigans already I have about 15 more on my wish list 😁

[@marleneknits]

that sounds like it makes a lot of sense! thanks for sharing & definitely it’s most important to wear what makes you feel good ☺️ I was thinking of holding more like an alpaca lace strand (love working with the one from isager in the past for example) that’s less fussy and noticeable than either the suri alpaca silk or mohair silk options out there! but I definitely think either option would help with pilling :) never enough plans and ideas 🥰

[@oldwitchknits-Ursula]

I tried using just alpaca lace with a single strand of nutiden. It helped the knitting the same way the mohair did (less breaking) but doesn’t help to prevent pilling unfortunately. But I absolutely love alpaca lace otherwise und use it a lot to hold with other yarns. My latest “discovery “ is holding it with Tynn Line. Creates a beautiful fabric!

[@sadcrab29]

I really want to knit the book club cardigan! My favorite cardigan I’ve made thus far (twice) is the seasons cardigan by ozetta

[@samanthacarter3909]

Suggestion! I wanted to make the stria last year but was short yarn too. I ended up making the Tavalli Cardigan and it mimics the half fisherman’s rib by doing broken rib. I thought it was a nice alternative since I was working with less yarn

[@marleneknits]

that’s a great idea - thanks for sharing! I‘m still hesitant though since i just bought the DRK pattern and I don’t have rosa p‘s pattern yet so I obviously want to make the most of my pattern library ☺️

[@swietoju]

I love you hair, now I need to grow out mine!

[@marleneknits]

thank you ☺️ do it!!

[@RicaKramer]

Hey. I am still working on my long summer cardigan while watching this. I think we have completely different styles of patterns we like, but i find you quite charming. My favourite cardigan i ever made is more like a coat and its the Winterfolk cardigan by Joji Locatelli. I love things with hoods. And i think the color of your shirt suits you well Greetings from dharamsala

[@marleneknits]

hi, I think that’s lovely, I don’t always look for podcasts either where people make the exact same things that I‘m making ad well, some variety is nice isn’t it! 😊

[@biristef9490]

I am knitting the Miles Shirt Jacket with unspun yarn from Hillesvag with a silk mohair together. I hope it will not peel so much...I have heard that it could help, I got also inspired by Inga. It is a very nice cozy project. Nice video, thanks :-)

[@marleneknits]

yes! that’s what I have heard as well! ☺️ thank you

[@nikitinaknits]

Dreaming of knitting book club cardigan 🥰

[@marleneknits]

it’s just such a lovely pattern, I totally get it 🥰

[@stefanidoucette8217]

I'm working on the step by step cardigan right now in Noro Madara and it's so good! Hope you enjoy it too, it's a quick one!

[@marleneknits]

sounds like a very enjoyable project and the madara is such a fun yarn ☺️ thanks!

[@felicianunez7662]

Your hair is looking 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@marleneknits]

aww thanks Felicia! I‘m so happy to have most of it back to my natural color and that my friend understood perfectly what I wanted the cut to look like ❤️

[@knittencraft]

I think all of us knitters are ridding the same wavelength. My current WIPs are the Tessellated Vest and the Boo Club cardigan. I saved the Hesper Cardigan yesterday. great minds think alike I suppose!

[@marleneknits]

totally!! 🥰

[@bigblackdogfiberarts]

The Dressika app was split 50/50 between Bright Winter and Bright Spring for me. I put in 10 photos and got 5 of each result. Lol Pretty sure I’m the winter since I look a thousand times better in silver than gold and I look fabulous in Fucshia lipstick. Lol

[@marleneknits]

at least it was super clear on bright‘ that’s a great starting off point in my opinion and at the end of the day you should go with what you love anyways, so bright winter it is 🤭🩷

[@bigblackdogfiberarts]

Yeah. And it won’t stop me from wearing the autumn colors I love so much. Odd thing is that I’m a blue eyed, super pale, natural redhead (that is fading rapidly to white lol). Autumn colors make me look a bit more than a bit sickly. Lol

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Your hair is looking 💯

[@marleneknits]

aww thanks friend ☺️

[@verylikecheryl]

I had a moth problem and investigated possible solutions and was told that vaccuum packing is fine for short term storage but it can cause damage if you store yarn this way for a longer time. Wool has a natural crimp and loft that is compressed in a vaccuum, leading to flattening and distortion of the fibres. This can permanently squash the yarn so that it doesn’t bounce back to its original quality and it can weaken the fibres, which then break when you finally unpack them. Anyone else had experience of this? Is it true? And how long is too long?

[@marleneknits]

ugh that sounds awful, I‘m sorry!! and yeah that sounds like it makes sense but unfortunately I don’t have any great answers for you! I think ideally I wouldn’t squash them too much and maybe rather put them in plastic bins for example - my goal is also to have a bit of a smaller sweater quantity stash long term to not have this problem but oh well 😄😅

[@satsumamoon]

I just knitted some baby alpaca that had been vac packed for 5 years in a warm attic...so not even a nice cool place. No problems. Its blocked washed and on its fitfth wear.

[@ifeismaking]

grateful for my moms massive freezer. and yes it is a generational thing hahah

[@marleneknits]

😂😂

[@jeniwrightsonkramer]

Hi Marlene, if you and your friend would like to stay in my guest house for the festival, i’m going too and i only live 20 mins from the campus. I’d love to host you both ❤

[@marleneknits]

hi Jeni, that’s so kind of you to offer! my friend has a family cabin in the area as well so we’re good but definitely come up to us and say if you see us at the festival, I’d love to meet as many fiber friends as possible 🧡

[@annabelle7123]

I think you could improve your video, a bit hard to hear what you are saying but it was better when you scooped in or just scooped down to pick up the yarn~

[@marleneknits]

have you tried turning up the volume? so far my set up is pretty low-tech but I’m thinking about getting a mic! I’ve observed though that they can be quite expensive and not always improve the audio quality on other videos in a big way - in my experience I have to turn the volume up or down depending on the podcast I‘m watching since non of them are the exact same and that works fine for me ☺️
