knitting my first cardigan! 🧶 april cardigan project vlog • marlene’s knitting podcast

[@KatharinaB23]

Your cardigan is breathtaking. The yarns look so good together and your needlework is very neat. I definitely like to watch your videos as much as other podcasts - and I think even more than them 🥰You're my favourite knitting podcaster and to me all of your content is stunning. Your authenticity and openness around difficult topics stands out to me here. But that doesn't mean that you should pressure yourself into creating more content than you are comfortable creating. Take the time you need and it's totally ok if that means it is not on a fixed schedule (and not our place to judge or demand more). Your wellbeing comes first and so you don't burn out in the long run (please 😅).

I have troubles keeping my sleeve cuffs tidy as well….but I learned recently that some ppl knit their sleeves on small circumference needles. I haven’t tried this yet but I will on my next long sleeve garnment. Your cardigan is awesome!

It was sooo nice to see your journey knitting up this cardigan! Now I'm thinking of knitting one up 😩

[@marleneknits]

Oh you have to!! It’s such a great piece to layer over t-shirts and tops and you could also just use a handdyed DK from stash maybe? the next cardigan I‘ll make will be suri or mohair free just to have more various options I think :)

This was so cozy and comforting to watch, I loved it, and the finished cardigan is stunning 😍 I really had to laugh at the bolero throwback - we didn’t have those dance lessons but somehow they were a thing nonetheless .

[@marleneknits]

thank you hannah! ☺️ bolero throwback 😅 I guess it was just a kind of early 2000/2010 thing!

Stunning ❤

Wow so nice!! This must be a joy to wear! I also really liked this kind of video, it was so calming and liked hearing about your thinking process. There only is one thing that I would like to say, and maybe this has something to do about my audio settings. But I found the music a bit to loud in comparison with the parts where you where talking. But I just turend the volume down a little bit at the music parts, so I still really enjoyed it!🥰 And youre one of my favorite (knitting) youtubers, I really like all of your content. Your channel is the only one where I have the notifications on, so I get really exited when you post a video and 'plan' to watch it with my favorite wip at that moment. But I don't mind that you don't have a regular uploade schedule. It's so nice to see al the effort and qualitly your content has! But the most important thing for all of us is that you enjoy making this content😊

[@marleneknits]

hey, thank you so much for your kind words and a heads up about the audio! I’m trying to be really cautious about this while editing but I guess I forgot to turn down the music this time especially in the beginnging right? I usually turn up my speaking tk everybody will be able to understand it and turn down the music a lot so it’s more of an ambiance thing than actual music listening - but I guess I mess up this time - or so you feel like this with most of my videos? (cause then I will try and turn it down even more in the future!) thank you so much again for the feedback! ✨🫶🏻

@@marleneknits Hi Marlene, it was only in this video and indeed especially in the beginning😊 And maybe it still has something to do with my audio settings. Have a lovely day!

Hi there! I just watched your first video. I really enjoyed it. I am a new knitter and would love to try knitting this same cardigan. I was hoping to find a really good step-by-step tutorial for help. Do you remember how many skeins of each yarn you purchased? I definitely don’t want to run out of either. Because this is my first card again I’d rather just order extra. I’m thinking about doing the size large as well.
