Giving My Handmade Wardrobe Away to YOU!! + Trying on Everything I've Ever Made (fashion show)

[@hawkeyegirl3]

Have you announced where you all are moving?

[@KnittyNatty]

Not yet, but soon!

[@theRealBeckyDania]

😢I was enjoying your NYC knit life!!

[@terrirodriguez6137]

Thank you so much for doing this❤ I love making blankets knit and crochet, I don't keep them I work as a nurse in a nursing home and seeing all my blankets being used by the residents is my joy😊

[@shetlandlace]

Any nearby homeless shelter would appreciate warm socks. A battered women's shelter would also appreciate them. I have donated excess pairs of socks to both places, and they are appreciated. Especially if they are machine washable.

[@Mieke256]

Congratulations on the move! Curious to hear where you are going. I wish you all the best of luck in the next month with the moving process! What a generous gesture! And amazing that you are able to let go of so many things! I’m currently reading the book “Craftfulness”, where the authors believe creative making is a form of mindfulness. It’s more about the process of making than about the finished object itself. Which is exactly what you seem to be doing here.

[@amysmillie7290]

You are so generous! Each item is so special! Hand knit items are so labor intensive. These are very special gifts!

[@Jodie_May92]

Such a generous giveaway Natalie, nice to see how far you’ve come with your knitting x

[@janbunnell9609]

I’ve done the same thing, last year and felt so good about giving my knitwear to people who would appreciate and enjoy them more than me ❤

[@judylee3589]

I love all your knitted items but I can't wait to see more shorts - woo hoo! They are tooooo cute!

[@daniellecerverizzo9568]

This is so cool. It’s also a great thing to do if you out grow your knitted garments. Thank you so much for the chance to have some of your wonderfully made garments. You’re amazing!

[@susansmith3264]

You are so generous, giving away your hand knit items! But I love how you are thinking this through and it is helping me see my own knitted things in a different light. Thank you for your insight!

[@carb101]

Love the butter swatch sweater! Very generous of you to share your knits. As for sock - I think you should give them away too. People know what they're getting into. Besides, wool is antimicrobial!

[@mlea79]

You’ve given me inspiration to go through my summer wardrobe. Not knitted items but it’s definitely time to let go and only keep what i love 😊

[@michelewallace8925]

Love your generosity Natalie! All items are beautiful. Looking forward to finding out where your new home will be! Will be praying for you during this transition ❤

[@susancampbell320]

Your podcasts always make me smile. What a generous soul you are to give away your precious knits. Goodluck on your move I hope it goes well. 🤩

[@KnitsByNayla]

That starflake shawl! 😍 I didn’t think I was a shawl person but the second you said office shawl a lightbulb went off! I am always cold when I’m in the office and that does sit so perfectly on your shoulders. I love that project. The colors are great too.

[@katedavy6272]

That was fun! Not much I can use being an oldie. But I learned a lot from your comments! All beautiful stuff to find happy homes for. The result is you now have room to make more!!!

[@sylvietoupin6167]

you are so generous to give away your knitting! the shawl texture time is sooooo nice!! I live up north and I knit shawls to keep me warm!

[@ktw2372]

These are beautiful! How generous to give them away.

[@Sharon-ov6ft]

Thank you Natalie for wanting to share some of your beautiful makes with us! Looking forward to seeing what you make in the future and seeing where you land!🦋🌻

[@cheribartlett6324]

Oh my goodness that was fun! Thank you for your generosity! Looking forward to seeing how the next chapter in your life unfolds. Wishing you, Kent and Toaster the best!

[@amandamcd3803]

This was fun to watch! I found myself cheering for your knits. My favorite is the Prismatic Tee, I’m glad it made the cut!

[@lindseywreathall6449]

Wow! So amazing. I love this and your ability to let go ❤️

[@errintang2315]

So many beautiful pieces, thank you so much for the giveaway opportunity! ❤

[@debebe5889]

Hi, Natalie. I really, really, really enjoyed seeing your knitted treasures again ...some to go and some to stay. ☺️ Thank you for your consistent videos and the time you and Kent invest in them for us!! I would be over-the-moon excited if I were to be chosen as the fortunate recipient of your Starflake shawl by Stephen West!! Hope we hear more about your upcoming move before too long. God bless you!! 🙌

[@lynneishimoto9975]

Wow! Amazing! Hope you enjoy the big move! Can’t wait to follow along in your journey. You’ve knit some amazing pieces!

[@stherrien3333]

What a great episode and so many lovely projects!! Cannot wait to hear about the move!! Thanks for the opportunity to own one of your special handmade items!! ❤❤❤❤ Sue

[@jilljarvis94]

Yay! You’re impressing me so much. Such a fun realization of finding your shirt neckline.

[@brandiabla7653]

It’s so generous of you to share your knitwear with all of us! So much beauty and work has gone into every piece! I don’t ever have time to knit for myself (I have so many knit worthy fam members) that I would love to be gifted any one of the items! I filled out the form, and I wish everyone best of luck for your chance to win!!! Thank you again Natalie❤

[@maryfoster5189]

Your crochet shawl is really great!

[@cupcakemae]

Thank you for doing this! This is so very generous of you, I would feel so lucky to receive something but I know all the winners are going to appreciate whatever they get so much!! Very awesome idea.

[@OldeThymeKnits]

You are always so inspiring in your minimizing things! I like that you are thoughtful about each item and that you took a stroll down memory lane with each item. Lovely episode...can't wait to hear where you're headed next!

[@Blaize24]

This is a wonderful way to move on from things that are no longer right for you. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to maybe own one of your beautiful items. Regarding the socks - any homeless shelter, women's shelter, youth/teen shelter would love to have them. I'm looking forward to hearing where your adventures will take you next.

[@emmafoster2268]

Such a fabulous idea, and so very generous!

[@maryglancy17]

Oh my goodness that was such a fabulous hand knits fashion show of absolutely beautiful work! I enjoyed seeing it so so much. It provided me much more food for thought on my own “capsule wardrobe” plans. I will be going through my own finished objects and reviewing them, washing them up even if I haven’t worn them and gifting the ones I am not keeping. I’ve knit a lot just for the fun of it and like you find while I enjoyed knitting shawls I never wear them and have already gifted all of those except one which I am now prompted to let go as I have never worn it either. Also considering that hey I have never knit myself a cardigan and want to. Thank you as always for the suggestions and inspiration.

[@normalloyd2885]

each of your items are extra special since you've shared the yarns/knitting story of each.

[@BonnieBrown426]

Can’t wait to see who receives the wonderful knits And also, where you are moving to

[@tweetypooky]

All your makings are so amazing! Thank you for sharing them with us!

[@Jessesmom12]

I need to do this myself. You have a great way to spread the love.

[@ellenzotti9654]

Natalie, it is so helpful that you show us it's ok to let go. Great video. I am wondering where the Outstranding Shawl is.

[@JulezySays]

OMG ... any of those shawls would be an amazing gift .... they are art.

[@marianna-gypsysoulfibers141]

What a generous and gorgeous giveaway!! I’m So excited to hear about your next adventure!

[@chaosintheenchantedforest]

Yes ! We would love a sock drawer tour pleas ❤❤ your knitted items are so beautifull😊 i think its really nice you give them away like this ❤

[@kristinahill3708]

Wow well done with your wardrobe purge and how lovely of you to share. 💕

[@jenniferbarr140]

What a great episode! This is so very generous of you…

[@paigechambers8320]

When I saw your Instagram story for this video I immediately thought “fashion show, fashion show!! Fashion show at lunch!!!!” So glad you put that clip in 😂😂 Going through knits is so satisfying! Can’t wait to hear where you guys are headed next

[@dorieknits]

This is such a generous thing for you to do! I cant wait to hear where you are moving to!!!

[@RunWithHooksNYarn]

This is so amazing kind of you!!!! ❤️ As a crochet pattern tester and new knitter, I love this 💜

[@8Gammie]

What a fun video to see all you've made and generous to give a lot of them away. Sending love, hugs,prayers.

[@SarahP_official]

You are so kind for giving all these away ❤ hope all the preperations for the move are going well, I know moving can be stressful so hope it will all go smoothly x

[@yessysdesigns]

Watching this episode right now. Everything you have made is just so beautiful and the yarns are stunning.

[@jewelse1975]

I’m surprised about the Alpenglow and Tessellation Tee! They both look good on you.

[@SS_S.]

Oh wow, what a generous gesture! It's midnight and I really shouldn't be starting this video on a worknight... but I wouldn't miss this.

[@Cyndi159]

The star flake shawl is beautiful, and looks beautiful on you🥰

[@hazelmorris678]

Natalie how great is your giveaway of your beautiful knits. ❤keeping my 🤞🏼Thankyou for your podcasts xx

[@alissamarie1321]

I’ve been watching for so long I feel like I’m the one parting with some of these !! Thank you so much for the giveaway 🥹❤️

[@MarinelLuybe]

Love this fashion show, you have such beautiful beautiful beautiful makes!!! ❤ But oh my god, my heart broke for you a couple times when you said I'm ready to let this go... I'm very good at that with "normal" clothes, not so much yet with handmade items... AND what a bombshell to say that you're moving next month!! Really curious to see where you guys are going!

[@amara560]

I love watching all the gorgeous items you have made, and thank you so much for your incredible generosity❤

[@thebooknitter]

I love your color and Many looovely pieces ❤ i still think it is very kind of you to give them away😊

[@laurienowland8584]

Thank you for your generosity! You’ve inspired me to go through my closet!

[@tinahooper3470]

Hi Natalie. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work with us. Hope you have a safe move. Love you guys.

[@sarahmisfitknits]

Loved the fashion show! Now I have a few more patterns in my queue lol. I also love a good decluttering. I enjoy living more minimally and keeping the items that I really love. I did submit for your Like a Cloud cardigan - That is a beautiful sweater that I would happily bring into my small wardrobe and probably wear it threadbare 😂

[@mannajakuki3025]

Hmmm... 🤔 Having to downsize from NYC apartment... that sounds like vanlife or long travel, but knowing how much we all love 🐕, I’d but my money on vanlife ❓

[@heidiclarke2333]

That was my first thought to, especially now Kent is on board.

[@TheWanderingPurl]

Such a fun video! I loved all of it and bravo you for being brave enough to let go of so much! Of course we want to see your socks!

[@pickledpoppycreativestudio]

Ohmygosh this is SO AWESOME! I would die to have ANY of these pieces in my collection, incredible! 😍😍😍

[@ToriBissell]

Honestly, this was such a fun video to watch.

[@seraph511]

I wish there was a way we could all swap our knitted items with each other! ❤

[@jenniferkesler7934]

Completely off topic, but Okoboji?! Saw your shirt on your honey cowl project page! Grew up going and all my best memories are on the lake!

[@JamelieC]

You are very generous, thank you so much for this giveaway! ☺️ 🤞

[@_KarenS]

Between you and Kathleen from Yarnia, I'm now convinced that I need a Tegna in my life...

[@hiimchuckiewannaplay]

This is so incredibly generous!! I already filled out the form from memory because I've watched so many of your videos LOL! Fingers crossed I win something but also so excited for everyone who gets to cherish a little knitty natty FO themselves!

[@ydotlkknits]

Oh no now that I've seen that Starflake Shawl I'll never be able to Unsee it D: I think I'm in love at first sight with that pattern. I was sat here thinking about how I could never make a shawl because I couldn't see myself wearing one and then you presented THAT BEAUTIFUL PIECE- sigh. *adds to Ravelry queue*

[@provie1494]

Another fun video. I hope your move goes smoothly. Happy knitting.

[@zetsubou1960]

OMG!!!! I had a nagging sensation that you are going to move on!! So exiting! Such beautiful garments, lucky those who'll get them. Can't wait to hear where you, Kent and Toster will head out next! ♥

[@carblarson8868]

That pink boxy Joji sweater is a good color on .

[@melinabrousseau9717]

Really fun video Nathalie! I always enjoy seeing all the things people have knit in the past. I might have to put my name for a few of the sweater as we have the exact same measurements!! 🤭

[@taylorlt0806]

This was so fun watching you modeling your makes. I loved them all. You are very talented. If I am lucky enough to win any of my selections, I am willing to pay the shipping. Thank you so much!

[@5millionfireflies]

Your Alpenglow is 🔥 ❤

[@katharina_prg5552]

#question: What would you change when knitting the Something Cozy again? I fell in love with it when I saw it on your podcast and finally got the yarn so I’d love to know any tips. ❤️ Love your fun podcasts! (The tutorial on how to put on a sweater might have been the best so far. 😃)

[@heathertucker7056]

What an amazing video! I loved every minute of seeing all your knitting! Such an inspiring and liberating feeling to send unwanted things out into the world. I would love to see a sock parade sometime. I’m sure charities and homeless shelters would welcome used socks. I knit for a charity every Christmas that takes new socks called Socks against Suicide.

[@ritatomar645]

So nice, congratulations for your fo's. god bless you

[@DoSoKnits]

For the socks, i would suggest looking into Knit the Rainbow. They accept hand knit donations to give to homeless LGBTQ+ youth in New York (and Chicago, I think now 🤔) But their mission seems really important and the socks would go to a good home.

[@KnittyNatty]

I'm familiar with them! I'll ask if my unworn pairs would be acceptable to donate. Thank you!

[@yoyarngirllisa3716]

For your socks, I think a homeless shelter would get great use from them! Can't wait to see where you and Kent end up next.

[@jackiethompson1787]

What an an incredibly generous and awesome giveaway. Even if I don’t win, thanks for spreading the knitty love! ❤️

[@RKCALGARY]

This video is a great idea to hold one accountable to actually go through with purging!!☝️. Also the photo you shared of you wearing the v neck T is the same photo in the channel intro. Now you have to change it to you wearing the sweater with the scoop neck T. LOL. “Oh no, the V neck!”

[@nicola.p]

Downsizing from a New York apartment 🤔 that means my guess is a move to an RV or van life. Travelling the US to visit all the yarn shops and yarn shows 😁

[@amandawilliams9740]

#question Not so much a question as a guess... are you looking at possibly Van Life? Looking forward to following your next adventure!

[@kathyphillips3473]

Omg this is too much fun. if I win some thing you made it would be so super awesome number one because it’s beautiful and number two because it came from knitty Natty ,, love and stitches. 😃

[@marinamorales5049]

Que divino todo lo que tejes,suerte con la mudanza🙌🏻🇺🇾

[@susanmartorana2282]

Thank you so very much for sharing all your hard work! One quick question…when I went to the form link, not all the items were listed. Did I do something wrong?😢

[@alekfelis]

I can see myself to sign up only for "Like a cloud", the messy one 🙃. As could you imagine to receive something so dear, and then on the third week cats to pull a loop in it, I'll gonna cry for days! Did someone heard if they will be shipped labeled as a gift or as a order, because it make difference on the customshouse? Good Luck, everyone!

[@lindakost4736]

Great show. Really enjoyed it. You are going to be ‘hashtag questioned’ to the moon with where are you moving. 🤣. Best wishes!❤️

[@sylviamaxwell504]

You are so generous, I would love wool socks if they have a loose top ribbing, my ankles swell...would pay shipping ❤😂🎉

[@janetshepherd9062]

How did I miss that you are moving? Did you say where you’re heading? Going to guess you are going to RV around the country for awhile. Hope so. That is so much fun!

[@AnnikenAllis]

#question Considering how many stephen west mystery shawls you're getting rid of, would you knit one of his mystery shawls again?

[@renealee]

This is awesome!! Thanks so much for doing this! I am such a slow knitter. I have tons of wips though. Lolol!

[@hebulanebula]

Fashion show at lunch 😅 I donate all the time, and like you said...if someone says they like something I am wearing..I give it to them . ❤

[@noeleenbyrne5197]

I'd like to put my name down for Toaster, lol

[@Mobuchholz]

Such an awesome video! I love hearing your thoughts about all of these different pieces and getting inspiration for making some of these items for myself. I would be so incredibly happy to win any of these items and I'm basically the same measurements, so yay! (fingers crossed)!! Thank you for the very incredible and generous gesture 😊

[@ericacatlett8412]

Plllleeasse try to revamp your cardigan design. I need it in my life.

[@enilegnave21]

Were you going to announce the winners of your giveaway items? Thanks.
