[@YoungfolkKnits]

4:35 girl!!! 54 knits!!!!!! Wowza so excited to see them while I knit and you chat

[@handmadewithamore]

Fand deine Strickauswahl total schön! Tolles Video, liebe Marlene! 🤗

[@DivinelyGuided2911]

I made a chunky chenille finger knit afghan and 50" x 50: throw this winter and they are super warm and cozy. You should make one. They are amazing and made with Bernat BIG yarn available at Michaels. They also have the chunky yarn at Hobby Lobby. Enjoy.

Loved the April cardigan. I could have listened/watched for another hour whilst I knit! All your garments are lovely. I can't wait for part 2

[@marleneknits]

then you’ll like part 2 - that’s two hours of more 2023 knits 🤭☺️ thank you!!

[@mepmanningknits]

@@marleneknits can't wait!

[@roos7631]

You've made so many gorgeous knits! And also using a knit as something to sleep in is brilliant! Why haven't it thought of that! I have a knitted tee wich turned out a lot bigger than expected. But I think it would be great sleepwear!! Can't wait for part 2😊

[@marleneknits]

that's a great idea, that way it’ll still get worn ☺️ thank you 🧡

[@mhsknits]

Okay but I’m obsessed with the Brighton tee two-toned green stripes!

[@mondayswithfran]

So schöne Projekte! Deine Farbwahlen sind immer richtig inspirierend. 🐑 Freue mich schon auf weitere Episoden 👀

[@isa_bambisa8225]

Nach einem 12-Stunden-Dienst ein neues Video von dir, du Liebe- hach herrlich 😍😍 dazu ein paar Reihen stricken und neue Inspirationen einfangen 😋 vielen Dank für die tolle Zeit und ganz besonders für deine wichtigen Worte zu Beginn: jeder befindet sich in einer individuellen Situation im Leben und das Zeigen aller fertigen Projekte ist kein Wettbewerb oder sollte dazu führen dass man sich schlecht fühlt 🥰 sondern sollte einfach Spaß machen, andere tolle Projekte zu entdecken ☺️Hab einen schönen Abend ❤️

[@marleneknits]

danke du liebe, was für ein schönes szenario, ich hoffe du hast deinen feierabend genossen 🥰

[@brookwillow]

I enjoyed reliving your beautiful makes of 2023! I will def be looking forward to part 2 😊

[@przysnijmisie]

Yay! Couldn’t wait for this one 🙆‍♀️

[@TheNordicharps]

Thank you, tvis was lovely. I actually saw you on the Woolly Worker Marathon and here you are! Looking forward to Part 2.

[@aneilaknits]

What a beautiful collection of hand knits!! I am planning on casting on the April cardigan soon, so will definitely be going back to watch your video on it.

[@jessicathomas162]

You had so many beautiful knits this year! You’re very much inspiring me to add the Judy Sweater to my queue! It’s so beautiful! ☺️🤍 thanks for sharing!

[@marleneknits]

thank you & and yay I hope more people make it ♥️

[@knits.and.cappuccinos]

just had the best morning watching your podcsat and knitting on my version of the stripe hype sweater :) I'm curious about how it will fit though after listening to your experiences with the pattern. Still, I loved seeing all your knits of the first half of 2023 wrapped up and I'm looking forward to part 2!

[@anneserdula1329]

Absolutely beautiful work!!! Wow!!!😊

[@Seotice]

Started my Judy sweater after watching one of your earlier podcasts and absolutely loved the end result, which was a nice relief since just before it I had made a sweater which hadnt lived up to expectations. Echoing your sentiment of it staying in my wardrobe forever! Watching this video as I knit my Stella Quilt Cushion (also found via one of your videos 😂)

[@RachelBearn]

Just started watching your channel and loved this first video! Can’t wait for part two. You’ve inspired my knitting for 2024 ❤

[@Teatime-mq6bv]

That was great…, just great! Not only because you knitted a lot, but because there are many projects I really want to knit, too as they are just beautiful. And with all the information you added I am now prepared to avoid one or another …. hmmmm… not SOOOO optimal detail. I am also thankful that you mentioned that the Sunday yarn feels a bit scratchy. I was right before buying it in a sweater amount because so many knitters use it. But I know that I am very very sensible and now will try it with something smaller first now. Also interesting that one of the Sundays is prewashed…., have never thought that…, so thank you. Well, I would like to watch part two soon but a short look to my watch told me „better tomorrow“ ;) So thanks again! It was informative and very enjoyable…, like your other podcasts (so a bit needless to mention it every time). I am very interested in your ravelry page although I am one who is just at the beginning of using it and have to learn a much,… a big much… Looking forward to,watching part two and all the other videos which will hopefully follow in 2024. Btw…, it’s a little bit late… but I wish you a happy New Year! Thanks again!

[@marleneknits]

It’s not the Sunday but the duo by Sandnes that I find a bit scratchy! Thank you so much & I hope you have a great year 😊

[@amywinner]

I loved this and look forward to part 2! The gift knits reaction from the two cousins is both hilarious and heartbreaking haha

[@jamiethrogmorton2540]

I liked that marked heel, good idea and unusual!

[@jenniferbailey365]

Happy New Year, Marlene! Look forward to Part 2!

[@ihesharema]

So excited for this review!!!! 😊

[@hyggekrogknits]

So interesting that your Anker’s bonnet was too small even though you sized up. Every time I knit a PetitKnit baby pattern it ends up huge! I feel like I spend about a third of all of my videos ranting about how big PetitKnit and Knitting for Olive baby patterns are 😅

[@DivinelyGuided2911]

It's called the rinse cycle when you wash in the machine.:)

[@marleneknits]

that’s intersting! I put my knits in sometimes just to press out the access water after hand washing and particularly not use a cycle where there could be any (other temperature) water coming in to shock and felt it, so that’s why I was calling it just the spin cycle I guess 🤭

[@SundayMorningKnits]

Oh I ADORE all the striped projects you made last year!! They're all so beautiful!!!

[@gewoonhanne]

Thank you for this amazing overview! Looking forward to part two :)

[@annalvollmer]

Can’t wait for part 2!

[@kalianaeliart6758]

I would be really interested in a planning video :) For the washing machine, would use a cold Wool cycle help ? So that all the water for washing and rinsing is the same temperature ? I am very wary of washing hand knits still :)

[@marleneknits]

yes possibly but still the cold water for rinsing in winter could be even colder than the cold wool cycle water and shock the knitted piece! I’d still prefer hand washing my knits as well ☺️

[@vivianneyiwei6610]

Thank you for sharing this overview! What do you use to de-pill your wool items? Do you have like a comb or one of those electric devices? 😊

[@marleneknits]

I have a little electric debobbler, I’ll show it in my next part of the video series on 2023 and it’s by Philips!

[@zoejames5001]

Where do you get your tags from that are sewn into your sweaters, they’re such a nice touch!

[@marleneknits]

different places! my personalized ones are from an etsy shop and then I also got some from petite knit and other shops :)

[@anjar.3154]

So ein gemütliches Video als Strickbegleitung... Beim April musste ich schmunzeln, als Du die Hermione's Everyday Socks gezeigt hast - genau die stricke ich gerade, während ich Dein Video schaue. Tolles Muster, macht richtig Spaß.

[@marleneknits]

wie schön ♥️☺️

[@lisefrydenlund4147]

Wow, you knitting so much Nice. I agree it's not always easy knitting for children, but it's fun to do, at least some times. I've been a knitter for 50 years ør so now and I still learn. I'm looking for part two. Hope you understand I'm from Norway and I'm not so good in English. Happy New Year and happy knittingyear to you.

[@marleneknits]

thank you! ☺️ it really is fun! I understood your message perfectly I think, happy new year! 🧡

[@knitting.your.life8]

I find drops belle a bit scratchy as well, it’s getting better with wear. I assume that it’s because of the linen, it’s a bit rough in this yarn, while Sandnes Linen doesn’t have such problems. I love your color choices, amazing color palette ❤

[@marleneknits]

great point, thank you! 😊

[@MusicByViva]

I love the sweater you're wearing in this! Is there a pattern for it?

[@marleneknits]

it’s the harlow v neck by caidree :)

[@foreverchasingthesunsets5842]

Enjoyed your video and your knits! My goal is definitely to knit more than last year (which is not much) and get a lot of my WIPs out of the way. ☺

[@marleneknits]

thank you :) sounds like a great plan 🧡

[@218lorna]

Gorgeous knits! I happen to be just starting a sweater using Sandes Garn Double Sunday, and it says Non Superwash on the label.

[@marleneknits]

ah good to know! thanks ☺️

[@pfitschipfeil]

Ich habe ebenfalls die Macaron Mittens (Gloves) gestrickt und dasselbe Problem: Der Handschuh verschiebt sich am Handgelenk. Ich habe die Gloves etwas länger gestrickt und sie verschieben sich dennoch.

[@marleneknits]

ach mist! das ist echt schade!

[@DivinelyGuided2911]

I really like your sweaters and your socks. How long does it take you knit a pair of socks? I've never tried that yet, but I would like to. Why don't you get some brown rit dye for your hat that is fading?

[@marleneknits]

thank you! knitting one sock can take between a weekend and 2 weeks.. it’s really depends on how much I focus on it! but I love it and would highly recommend trying it! the hat is a brownish red and I still like the look of it so no need for over dyeing for now :)

[@johannad.1965]

yuhuuu endlich 🎉🥰

[@sheilamccart7553]

You didn’t mention the Tolsta tee, how was it?

[@marleneknits]

ahh I‘m sorry that was the one I frogged because the yarn wasn’t working - I hope to be knitting the pattern in a cotton again this summer and will report more on it - I liked the pattern though when I first knitted it last year :)

[@saoirsebrey]

Loved all the striped knits you did last year! I'm hoping to cast on the Judy Sweater soon! As soon as I saw wearing it in a previous podcast episode I knew I needed to knit it asap 😂 It's so gorgeous! 😍

[@mayou94]

Hallo Marlene, vielen Dank für dein tolles Video. Ich hätte eine kleine Anmerkung bezüglich des Shirts, das du für deinen Cousin gemacht hast. Der Grund, warum er es kratzig gefunden haben könnte, ist wahrscheinlich das Leinen im Garn. Wenn man sehr empfindlich gegenüber bestimmten Fasern ist, kann das sehr kratzen. Ich kann zum Beispiel auch kein Leinen tragen. Das gleiche gilt auch für so was wie Hanf und manchmal auch Ramie. Vielleicht hilft dir der Hinweis, wenn du wieder ein Geschenk stricken möchtest. 😊

[@marleneknits]

hey, danke für den hinweis! das kann natürlich auch ein grund gewesen sein - ich habe auch gehört, dass manche menschen das gefühl von gestricktem sensorisch einfach nicht auf der haut mögen 😊

[@tamima8415]

3 Werbungen innerhalb von 18 Minuten?!! 😢 Geht es hier nur noch ums Geld machen? Eine Sache ist, etwas dazu verdienen zu wollen, was völlig ok ist - eine andere, nicht genug zu bekommen. Das ganze Video mit Werbung im 6-Minutentakt gäbe knapp 14 Mal Werbung. Ich bin raus, auch für zukünftige Folgen. Sowas unterstütze ich nicht 🤷‍♀️

[@marleneknits]

hallo tami - danke für dein feedback, schade dass es so hart formuliert war. ich habe einfach nur die voreingestellten settings aktiviert - diese bearbeite ich im normalfall immer nochmals und kürze 3/4 aller automatisierten werbepausen raus. dies habe ich heute vergessen, so einfach ist es.

[@nadinedetain6765]

Thank you to separate accessories from garments next time as I could not watch until the end of the video as I got too bored. Sorry.

[@marleneknits]

No need to watch any further if you get bored of course! I quite liked the way in which I structured these videos and since I took a lot of time and effort to make them I’m quite happy with them as well! I might rethink the format for next year, we’ll see :)

[@skinvet]

What a horrible and unneccessary comment
