2024 Spring Knitting Plans - using up stash and creating year-round staples

[@lindapayne9474]

Wow! I think the skirt and sweater set would be stunning on you! Love the idea of skirt and vest. For the Norma sweater, I vote for the navy, orange and graynish combo.

[@theknittingpaige]

Thanks for the feedback I think the sweater set will be a staple once it's off my needles :)

[@socalledcrafts]

Uhh the set would be amazing to see!

[@theknittingpaige]

Life got in the way this spring, but I am planning to cast it on at some point!

[@socalledcrafts]

@@theknittingpaige Understandable... I missed the (self-imposed) deadlines in a dress I'm knitting that was supposed to be ready for a party that is TODAY! 😅

[@aliciahiggs5452]

I have been eyeing that cameo best for well over a year. Would love to see how yours works up!

[@theknittingpaige]

Thanks! I have been obsessed with vests recently and I think that one is such a lovely combo of being simplistic and classic without only being stockinette.

[@zzaradina]

So glad to have you back!! I loooove all the plans you have, but I'm obsessed with the skirt and sweater set!

[@theknittingpaige]

Thank you :) I also love the skirt and sweater set and I was stoked to see that I have enough yarn in stash to make it!

[@Jess38]

The skirt and sweater are incredible! I'd love to see the set first!

[@theknittingpaige]

Thank you! I wound up casting on the cardigan no 9 as my first spring project, but I hope to get to the skirt soon!

[@opencirclestitches]

I know you want to use that greenish color, but I think the Norma sweater would look so good with the navy, orange/red, and white!

[@theknittingpaige]

Thanks :) I am still indecisive about what colour to knit it, but I agree that it could be a beautiful combo!

[@jordnthomas]

i would be really interested in seeing the skirt knitted up. i saw another podcaster talk about the skirt but she never ended up knitting it!

[@theknittingpaige]

I plan to cast on the skirt soon!

[@Baghwanita]

The skirt and sweater are absolutely stunning. such a good plan to do the skirt for spring and then the jumper for august? knitting. I would love to see that whole set and the red cardigan and the Norma in the light colors were stunning for spring.

[@theknittingpaige]

I love the set and I like you're idea about splitting up the set! The sweater could be fun to knit in the summer for a break from summer fibres!

[@highfiberknits]

Welcome back! Love all of the plans SO much; especially that RED ❤❤

[@theknittingpaige]

Thank you :) I'm happy to be back and working to find time and space to record and knit.

[@arwarnt4005]

yayy I'm so happy to see you on here again! I'm excited about every project haha

[@theknittingpaige]

Thank you :) I'm happy to be back!

[@sptaylor9]

I recently knit the mini mock tank with the de rerum Ulysse in Bouleau and I LOVE it and loved working with that yarn

[@theknittingpaige]

Yea I'm curious to swatch it, if the gauge doesn't work, I'll probably knit off gauge or buy a lace weight to hold with it.

[@natalieknits]

Can’t wait to see the cardigan no. 9 and the Norma sweater!! They both immediately went into my queue when they were released! The red cardigan will be stunning !

[@theknittingpaige]

Right! They’re both look like they’ll become timeless staples

[@TRaceTK]

Love the orange and navy together!! The Norma sweater is on my “must make” list. I am very interested in all your plans.

[@theknittingpaige]

Thank you! I am excited to watch it come to life!! It's such a gorgeous sweater and with my indecision on the best colour combo, I feel like it could be a pattern I knit again.

[@barbaraamping5659]

Love your positive vibe❤️

[@theknittingpaige]

Thank you so much :)

[@moiragarner1253]

You are back 🎉

[@theknittingpaige]

woot woot!! Thanks for the support :)

[@helenmt2000]

I gasped in excitement when I saw this video pop up in my subscriptions!! Your skin looks radiant and I love this hairstyle on you btw. So happy to hear you’ve been well. Congrats on the new job! I love the navy and orange together for sure. The Cameo vest is also calling my name. Such beautiful details. The buttons can also really make a difference on the garment. I’m interested to see how Ulysse works up for it. I’m currently using it as a sport weight and love it so much and would love to use it for patterns that call for DK, but not sure if I could get gauge.

[@theknittingpaige]

Thank you so much! And right it’s such a cute vest!! I have some other yarn in stash that could work for it if I can’t get gauge or I might just knit off gauge and size up? We shall see 😊

[@tess7510]

Not sure if this is too late but I think the sage is getting lost next to the orange... I think I would do orange/white over the navy since that beautiful soft sagey color is really looking just gray next to the orange at least on my screen

[@theknittingpaige]

Thanks for the input! I am hoping to work on it this summer/fall so you're not too late

[@heatherr9201]

Yes… navy is my “black” too….

[@theknittingpaige]

Right! I find black is too dark, but navy is perfect!

[@meganmeyer1157]

Love the skirt/sweater set! I am wondering if unspun yarn will hold up for a skirt though. It seems like that garment will get a fair amount of wear and tear from sitting down. I’ve never knit a skirt or dress so I am by no means an expert!

[@theknittingpaige]

It's a super cute set! That is a great consideration. There would likely be lots of pilling. Maybe I'll wait to cast on the skirt until my nata dress is done and if I have enough trio 1 leftover I could hold it with the roving yarn for the skirt.
