That is gorgeous! Looks so cosy and makes one wish for snow everyday. 😂

[@norwegianknitter]

Thank you❤️ I love the snow now! But I'm sure I'll be tired of it in March😅😂

[@BettyAnnChappell]

You did a beautiful job. The work is just gorgeous. All those cables!! Wow!!

[@norwegianknitter]

Thank you so much! My hands are very ready to get a break from cables😅😍

[@susanbossung9098]

It turned out beautifully. I would love for you to do a tutorial showing how you do your cables. I couldn’t tell from the video. Love the videos of your family. I was holding my breath watching your son climb the tree. It’s so wonderful that you fiancée will help his son be adventurous and establish his confidence in life. What is your son’s name. Thanks for sharing.

[@norwegianknitter]

Thank you so much❤️ I'm not sure I'd be great at doing tutorials as I'm not very good at explaining how to do things😅 But For my the cables, I cable without a cable needle that I learned from some Instagram tutorials🙈 and for the bigger cables I use a needlereguldo it the "regular" way❤️ My fiancé finds it quite nerve-wracking to watch him climb too, but he tries to hide it so our sons won't see! His name is Alexander🥰

[@letiziamaudcanouet3217]

What a job and a result 🤎🤎, isnt it too big and heavy? Anyway, you can wear it like that without coat 😍. It it good to knit for oneself and not for other people 😁😁😁

[@norwegianknitter]

It was such a labor of love! It's quite big and heavy, but it's definitely not too big or too heavy. It's really great to wear without a coat, but once the colder weather of winter really starts, it will be great underneath a coat too❄️

[@bettygraham818]

It is perfect and so beautiful. Well done !

[@norwegianknitter]

Thank you🥰

[@jilliankonig2759]

Beautiful sweater! Love the snippets of real life with a toddler while knitting big projects!

[@norwegianknitter]

Thank you🥰 I have so many loving memories baked into this sweater🥹❤️

[@marylefave2933]

This sweater is truly gorgeous. What a great new staple for your winter wardrobe. Congrats on the great finish. Hope your friend will be as happy with her accomplishment.

[@norwegianknitter]

It's PERFECT for winter! Oversized and cozy, warm and thick enough to be used as an outer layer on days without too much wind! I'm over the moon about this sweater😍 I hope my friend will love hers as much! She just has to finish knitting Christmas gifts😅

[@MikiCrespo]

Absolutely beautiful cable sweater and the tree hunted 🌲and the Magical reindeer 🦌🦌🦌 Love it❤

[@norwegianknitter]

Thank you❤️ So many amazing memories baked into one sweater🥹

[@mille5913]

Tbh I didn't like the sweater so much in progress but oh my god! After blocking it turned out amazing. And both the fit and colour suit you incredibly!!!

[@norwegianknitter]

Blocking really changed the look! It relaxed into exactly the sweater I hoped it would be❤️ Thank you!

[@KaylaGraystitches]

You did a beautiful job! The sweater blocked so nicely! I’ll have to add this to my ever growing to be knit list 😅

[@norwegianknitter]

Thank youu! It's was NERVE-WRACKING to block this! So many hours and yarn put into a project, it just had to work out😅 luckily for me, it did! And I LOVE the result🥰

[@KaylaGraystitches]

@ it’s honestly the perfect sweater on you 👏👏

[@norwegianknitter]

@@KaylaGraystitches It feels like it too❤️

[@oldwitchknits-Ursula]

Sweater turned out amazing! And such a beautiful vlog again 😍

[@norwegianknitter]

Thank you!!! I had so much fun making it🥰

[@GoSia362]

Takk for en koselig strikkestund 😊 Genseren er perfekt og helt fantastisk 👍❤

[@norwegianknitter]

Tusen takk❤️

[@Peakknits]

It’s absolutely gorgeous and suits you perfectly. Enjoyed the video whilst wrapping and panic gift knitting!

[@norwegianknitter]

Thank you! I'm also panic gift knitting at the moment! Time flies too fast in December😅

[@Royalblue-em7np]

Oh my, you’re done! And it’s absolutely gorgeous…I especially love the split hem. Thank you for all the details as I will now be making one as well. I have 22 skeins of Beige heather Sandnes Garn Fritids that I didn’t know what to do with. Now I do! 😊

[@norwegianknitter]

I'm done!! Finally! My hands NEED a break from cables now, but I'll miss it❤️ I'm so glad I went with a split hem! I think it compliments the design so well🥰 Yay, it's always amazing to figure out what to do with stash yarn! You're in for a treat with this one😍

[@taniaknitting]

Hi Oline!! Your sweater looks amazing!!! It is so beautiful and looks great on you!!! Great job ❤

[@norwegianknitter]

Hi! Thank you so much❤️ I'm so happy with it after blocking!!

[@simoneclarke5104]

Your sweater turned out so beautiful, and I love the split hem💖! Thank you for sharing all the other festivities, it was fun🥰

[@norwegianknitter]

Thank you🥰 I'm so glad I did the split hem!!

[@KatharineAldridge-x7r]

Love this video. ❤ Thank you for sharing your sweater journey

[@norwegianknitter]

Thank you so much❤️

[@paulamacdonald3222]

Your jumper is beautiful. Your family are too. ❤

[@norwegianknitter]

Thank you❤️

[@hirzst]

Happy New Year! Sweater no 20 has been on my list for almost a year. You inspired me to add it to my WiP pile, using Drops Alaska in the wheat colorway. Your sweater looks amazing on you. I agree that a split hem looks great on an oversized sweater. I will do the same. Take care and thanks for sharing❤

[@norwegianknitter]

Happy New Year🎉 Good luck with your sweater! It's such a fun project🥰 Thank you so much!

[@purple.elefante_knits]

its so beautiful!! You’ve inspired me to learn how to knit cables to knit this sweater for myself. it looks too cozy

[@norwegianknitter]

It was so much fun to make! And it's such a cozy sweater, it's just heavy enough that it feels like it's giving me a hug😍 Good luck learning cables!

[@Mkasia5]

What a masterpiece Oline!❤❤

[@norwegianknitter]

Thank you! It feels amazing to have finished it❤️

[@elizabethLoney]

What a wonderful sweater. It looks so cosy and you managed to finish it before Christmas. I wish you and your family a wonderful festive season and a happy new year when it comes. Thanks for the amazing year of content and for all your time creating it. X

[@norwegianknitter]

It's one of my favorite sweaters I've ever made! I loved the making process and LOVE the finished project😍 Thank you so much! I wish you a wonderful festive season and a happy new year too❤️

[@judithhirschhorn7249]

Beautiful sweater!!

[@norwegianknitter]

Thank youuu!!

[@AmniconStudio]

It's beautiful! 💜💜

[@norwegianknitter]

Thank you🤎

[@slavkanovakova]

Wow, the sweater is so beautiful!! It seams oversized enough ;-) And the idea of splitting the hem was perfect, I really like it!

[@norwegianknitter]

@slavkanovakova I'm so happy with this sweater! It immediately became one of my favorites, and I've lived in it since finishing it🙈 Finally a sweater where I got the positive ease I was looking for! The sleeves are still tight compared to the body, but I am just so happy that they are loose! I'm so happy I split the hem! It's so much more flattering this way, in my opinion❤️

[@PriscillaWhite-Tocker]

Oh my goodness, Oline, absolutely stunning. The cables, the style and fit of the sweater, the split hem you chose to do, everything. Plus the color looks beautiful on you, a lovely neutral that is timeless. Congratulations! Another beautiful vlog for me to watch as I work on some Christmas socks for myself. As I have said many times before, thanks so much for all that you do and share with us. One question -what are the KNIT awards?

[@shetlandartist217]

The gammeldans is just like watching a dance here in Shetland, i guess it's easy to see where it comes from. Love the sweater. I'm knitting the Dagmar jacket in Alaska at the moment. I love the yarn but it definitely takes a lot of it. I think i have to buy some more to finish it ☺

[@norwegianknitter]

How fun! That gammeldans is called "reinlender" here if that rings any bells❤️ A Dagmar jacket in Alaska sounds so great, but the cables do really eat the yarn😅

[@shetlandartist217]

@ kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYmTZnanhZKFhMksi=KIZefW1GAMZ1KXj8 It’s not exactly the same but feels the same 😄

[@malgorzatabatog7992]

I love cable sweaters. On my list is pachira sweater, minto knitonomy, the Belle and Sebastian pulover

[@norwegianknitter]

Me too! They are so fun to knit, look great, and I love telling people that "I made it" when they ask😍🙈 You have so many great plans! I might have to steal some!

[@annagjoede7858]

Tillykke!! Fantastisk sweater du har lavet. Den klæder dig så godt!! Tak for den fine 😮sammenredigerede video. Interessant at se hvordan du strikker. Continental med norsk vrang? Min mor og bedstemor strikkede på samme måde. Så det gør jeg også!♥️ Det er langt fra alle i Danmark der strikker ‘norsk’, især her i Københavnsområdet hvor jeg bor nu…..😮 Men jeg kommer fra Skagen og deroppe tror jeg de fleste strikker ‘norsk’ som jeg. 😮 Jeg er vokset op med strik fra inderst til yderst og de smukkeste gensere og kofter…. Dine Mariussweatre er fantastiske!! Overvejer stærkt at strikke sådanne til mine børnebørn!!! Dine farvevalg er så fine! I julen skal jeg øve strik for første gang, med mit 6 årige barnebarn, som er et rigtig krea-pige. 🥰 Det bliver top-hyggeligt! God jul til dig og dine♥️

[@HelenaTucker-u3j]

😊Your sweater is beautiful

[@norwegianknitter]

Thank you so much🤎

[@michelleellis1290]

Another beautiful piece and an amazing video. I would be interested to know how you’ve found yarns that you’ve used have worn. I use drops yarn but I’ve only just started so don’t know which ones to use. Wishing you and your beautiful family a happy Christmas and a happy and healthy new year ❤

[@norwegianknitter]

Thank you! It's honestly a lot of trial and error finding yarns you like😅 I really like the Nepal/Lima/Flora yarns from drops, and of course, the merino wool they have! This was my first time trying Alaska, and I've lived working with that yarn too! For me, the fiber, price, and feel of the yarn is the most important when choosing yarn. Rubbing the yarn on your neck is a good way to check if it's itchy for you or not🥰 Happy Christmas & New Year to you, too❤️

[@abramas005]

I crocheted a teddy bear for my dog, she hasn't gotten a new toy in a bit so I figured I'd make her one for christmas, I also knit my great grandma a bandana cowl with some mohair I got in my stash also I can't believe it's only 6.. well already close to 5 days left till christmas, it seems like it was just july

[@norwegianknitter]

Wow! What a fun project! A teddy bear for Christmas🥹 Stash yarn is the best for Christmas gifts!

[@studygoose]

I love this sweater♥Do you recommend this yarn?

[@norwegianknitter]

Thank you! It was a really pleasant yarn to work with, but I can already see it pilling a fair amount, so it really depends on if you're willing to depill every so often🥰

[@borbolettaazul]

Fine, I loved the color of this sweater now u can buy Alaska for 1,50 realy a good price.❤

[@norwegianknitter]

I love how affordable drops is! Especially Alaska! I'm so happy with how the color turned out for this sweater! I think it compliments the cables perfectly❤️

I'll try😅😂

[@gingerglitter]

My best tip for squeezing out water after hand washing is to roll it into a towel and step on it! no agitation and maximum water removal!

[@norwegianknitter]

@gingerglitter Thanks for the tip! I have a question about that, tho, won't the towel just get soaked? I did do the towel "trick" when drying this sweater, but after squeezes out water for minutes first, and the towel was still SOAKED?

[@gingerglitter]

@@norwegianknitter yes so this is after I have repeatedly squeezed with my hands so there is no more water coming off with my strength. I then gather the knit, especially if it is something heavy I don't want to get warped, wrap it in a towel it won't dry on and then I step on it. I then take a different towel to have it dry on but it has significantly reduced my drying time especially now in the winter when i don't have light or warmth haha

[@norwegianknitter]

@gingerglitter Ahhh, yes, that makes sense! I did pretty much the same thing for this sweater, but we have heated floors in the bathroom, so I lay my knit directly on the floor. Heated floors are a life saver for drying knits in winter!
