what I’m working on & how I’m styling my knits and linen pieces in spring • episode 32

[@brideyjade]

Love your styling section!

[@brookemilosh6233]

I am new to knitting, so don't have very many knits to style yet. But I really love how thoughtful knitting has made me in terms of curating my wardrobe, and I really look forward to accumulating more knits to style!

[@fiber.and.floral]

Ah, I love talking about styling handmade pieces and I loved how you did yours! And i really enjoyed the cumulus KAL. I’d been wanting to make it for over a year and it was just the push I needed! So glad you and Julia had the idea❤

[@marleneknits]

So glad you enjoyed it ☺️

[@frommylittlecornerofukrain3607]

I can't stop admiring your stella quilt cushion. Great episode!

[@tzigns]

I LOVED the dress and that jumpsuit was amazing. Thanks for the opportunity!!!

[@stitchwave]

That jumpsuit looks amazing on you!! I'm dreaming of all the perfect cardigans I could make to wear with one of those 🤤

[@MichelleFunk-r9k]

I love wearing my handknits with my NPL pieces! They are a natural pairing. I love that they all have good, functional pockets, not just decorative little things. Being petite at 5’ 1”, its super helpful that they will take and make modifications!!

[@lyndsaymaguire5632]

Love your colour palette, both in your knits and the Not Perfect Linen items.

[@sophiamatskovych3466]

What a nice episode. Green suits you so much btw 🌞

[@nancycox6548]

You have a beautiful and consistent color aesthetic which works so well for you and hence your wardrobe choices. Lovely episode! Thanks!

[@lmjeleonore2055]

Linen and handknits are just the ultimate combo during spring/autumn!

[@skyytreen]

I absolutely adored the jumpsuit with the cardigan look! Linen has been talked about so much in the community recently and I’ve been so tempted to get some for myself!

[@creativechronicles3627]

Linen and hand knits is the best combo! It’s what I wear literally all year long. Love how you styled everything! 🤎

[@brookwillow]

Ooooh I loved your styling segment!! Your outfits are so inspiring and effortless ✨

[@desireh7387]

Oh Marlene, deine Podcasts sind eine wahre Wonne! 😍🙏🏻🌸 Für mich können sie nicht lang genug sein! Immer wieder bewundere ich auch, dass du dich so sicher in deiner Farbwelt bewegst. Alles sieht so harmonisch aus und die Farben sind einfach grandios an dir! 😍🙏🏻 Das kleine Lookbook mit der Kombination aus den Notperfectlinen- und deinen selbstgestrickten Teilen war eine tolle Inspiration! 😍 Es freut mich sehr, dass du so ein tolles Gewinnspiel anbietest! Hoffe inbrünstig, dass das das Glück ja vielleicht auf meiner Seite ist. 🍀☺️

[@mindfulknittingstories-mal9418]

How I love your podcast - your charm and genuine approach! Always happy when there is a new episode. So exiting with your collab with Not Perfect Linen. I love their clothes and already has some in my wardrobe but dream of more. Now I am on their newsletter as well.

[@erinjchafe]

I have been eyeing Not perfect linen for months now! Love love love the styling with knits!

[@Lisamakes]

For helical knitting, I just start doing it for the last third of a skein, so you don’t have two balls attached for the whole project. Helical knitting is very simple. You just slip the last three stitches of a row, then use the new yarn. When you get to three stitches before your first yarn, slip three stitches, drop the second hand, and then pick up the first and repeat!

[@marleneknits]

I’ll definitely have to try it!

[@shannonpruden7136]

I love your style, spring is all about colour!

[@v1mu]

Spring is the perfect time to wear light knits and linen... I love a little cardigan with a slip dress!

[@brescia_handmade]

Love the styling section of your video! Especially the jumpsuit. Great outfit for spring and summer!

[@mimicarre2754]

Thank you Marlene for your lovely inspiring video. It is sooo Nice to wear linen garments with handknits.

[@leahmunoz1731]

I love linen combined with hand knits. Ever since I started knitting I have been more conscious and picky about fiber content in my clothes.

[@marthakimball4507]

I love wearing a linen dress with a cropped knitted tee especially in a cooler fiber, or a warmer woolly cardigan on stormy chilly spring days! I have worn my Not Perfect Linen dress to death, I just love it. I have had my eye on one of the wrap jumpsuits and it looks so good on you, especially with the cute cardigan!

[@wovenheart2686]

I love styling linen and wooly hand knits. Lately I’ve been into just layering everything oversized. Long skirts and dresses with long cardigans or oversized sweaters. ❤

[@hannahammarsten2962]

Thank you for such a great episode! I love the little fashion show and the linnen clothes, such a pretty way to style your hand knits ❤

[@JamStitching]

I love how you've styled your knits! The Not Perfect Linen shows off your knits beautifully and the colours are gorgeous together ❤

[@janpraytor6256]

Enjoyable episode. You checked all the boxes. Linen clothing and hand knits are the perfect choice for spring and summer outfits..

[@Craftedbythefates]

I love the styling portion of this episode!!!

[@StephanieArce-rq6xn]

I love the styling video!! As someone who is also learning to sew and knit, I love that I get to coordinate my makes with my own color palate.

[@lemenyh]

Looking forward to wearing my warm weather handknits and adding a couple new ones this year.

[@jenn553]

I am new to your channel - you kept me company while I knit and sewed - I too enjoy knitting for my handmade clothing and love to pair my knits with linen for all times of the year. Thanks for the inspiration. I love your color palette. Thank you Marlene!

[@stitchystephanie]

I love wearing my hand knits with not perfect linen! I've been trying to add a few pieces each year. Thank you for some inspiration and a fantastic give-away.

[@bibipiets4250]

I’m always so happy when you upload a new video. I love your yarn and color choices and you inspire me to sew more! I’ve recently got a sewing machine and I’m very excited to continue my fiber arts journey ❤

[@marleneknits]

I'm so glad! love to hear that 🧡 we love all fiber arts around here!

[@lesliewigby4284]

Really loved the styling section. It’s so inspirational to see how others style their pieces to come up with new ways to show off your hand makes. Also love the tee stash section, some great ideas for projects at this time of year. Thank you.

[@karoline123hej]

I love your colorscheme in the styling! Very relaxed but thoughtful

[@MsSophich]

Ich freue mich jedes Mal, wenn eine neue Folge rauskommt. Immer wieder sehr inspirierend, danke für, dass du deine Sommerprojekte mit uns teilst ! :)

[@silviagowdy7562]

Love linen with knitted seaters. Looks so perfect

[@kennedykings3909]

I love wearing natural fibers like cotton and linen. Your sewing projects are tempting me to pick up sewing!

[@nicolinaballerina]

🍂🌲 I adored the styling portion of this episode. It's given me lots of ideas. I live in Canada where it is still quite cool during the spring months. I usually wear my handknit pullovers and cardigans under my cotton and linen pinafores, topped with a thicker tyrolean knit to stay warm. 🦌🍂

[@dreamy_knits]

Your style is so relaxed and chic at the same time! Loving the linen pieces combined with wool :)

[@marleneknits]

Thank you so much!

[@rozemichelle]

Loved seeing how you style your knits! As a new knitter a challenge I've encountered is learning to feel comfortable wearing the visually interesting projects I've made which don't perfectly harmonize with my current pre-knitting wardrobe.

[@umimmak]

Linen and knitwear is the perfect combination! I think that linen pants and a sweater is one of my absolute favourite summer/spring outfits! 😊 Also, I think that the Caramel Sweater looks great. I really like the way that the dye pools.

[@snpasadena-calif]

Love your autumnal colors. Great ideas for styling knits.

[@emiliep1503]

So nice to see how you style your knits! Looking forward to see more of those styling capsules.

[@ddkrisje]

🎉congratulations Marlene👏 you look so good, I think woolen knits and linen is such a beautiful combination. Enjoy your knitting plans! 🥰

[@malinbjorkman4615]

Long and so so lovely episode, as always! 😍Keeps me company while doning the dishes and other boring stuff ☀️ . And the linnen garnments are sooo beautiful ❤👍

[@geecreekfarm]

Love, LOVE the gathered linen skirt with your mudo jumper!

[@hundredyearhouse]

I have been eyeing the not perfect linen pieces for a while. Thanks for the knitwear pairing inspo! ❤

[@sylviafikiert4825]

Love watching your podcasts 😊 I like to style cropped sweaters or short sleeve tees with dresses 👗 or linen pants with knitted tops. Now that I got back to knitting I try to wear my knitted and crochet tops daily!

[@emilyanthony9658]

I love the way you styled your linen and hand knits! I also agree that a dress and sandals is the go to for spring and summer!

[@kendrakulberg1811]

I love the way knitting has taught me to be conscious of fibers! the linen looks beautiful with the knits

[@juditazukauskiene3036]

A perfect combination in the morning: coffee, my knitting, and your podcast. So much inspiration for my future projects. Thank you. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@marleneknits]

Ohh thank you ☕️☺️🧶

[@amandalouro9340]

I love wearing my handknits with linen! I think it’s the perfect combo 😍

[@JSohn-lg1hv]

I do love the combination of knitting and sewing ❤

[@kellys5956]

Loving this episode and the linnen pieces you've chosen! They are the perfect pieces for all year round I would say. I really love the look of them and will hopefully get around to sewing a few pieces myself for the upcoming hot weather!

[@maszynka_do_sera]

This was such a relaxing, inspirational video. Thank you. I'm glad to have found this channel. It's comforting to know that there are people who share my interests, and not even that far away from me! ❤ Also, your colour pallette is *chef's kiss*

[@knifeofdreams86]

I rediscovered linen last summer and I cannot wait to have a warm enough weather in the UK to start wearing it again. I have a pair of rust coloured dungarees and I love pairing them with either a plain white t-shirt or a grey handknit sweater I made last spring. Having some Note Perfect Linen garments would be a dream 🤍

[@elinahilden4339]

So nice to see how you style your knits and linen clothes! Love not perfect linen, just hope they would have larger sizes in all of their beautiful clothes.

[@katiebonnell3756]

I love your style, and thank you for sharing some of your outfits, it's great inspiration! We moved to a warmer climate, so it's inspiring to see how you've paired your handknits with linen. :)

[@megancalderon661]

Enjoyed this episode. Especially the part where you show your knots and linens styled. 🎉thanks for sharing with us.

[@marci_ciencialova]

I loved your little video of how you style your knits and sewing projects, more of those for me please! You are so inspirative ❤

[@katefisher7493]

I love notsoperfect linen . I have a couple of their dresses that my knitwear go over so nicely. I love how they allow alterations to fit our own unique bodies. Just like our knitwear!

[@Designs.Madebyjo]

I loved your styling section of this video Marlene, a really cool addition to your traditional podcast, those redwood trousers are stunning and that jumpsuit looks great on you! Great to meet you at WoollyGood last weekend! 🎉

[@marleneknits]

Thanks so much Jo, I very much enjoyed meeting and chatting with you ☺️

[@sentamungersdorff9758]

I always watch immediatly when your podcasts come out! Thank you for your inspiriration and knitting soul!

[@marleneknits]

Wow, thank you! 😊

[@lbokochte2622]

I'm not that good with commenting but just wanted you to know that I love having your videos on when I knit 😊. Both the pods and the vlogs have such a calm presence

[@marleneknits]

Oh thank you! ☺️

[@samanthamccamish624]

I have so enjoyed watching all your videos. Watching the way you style your outfits is one of my favorite parts about your videos. The colors you pick are always so lovely. I have definitely been inspired to try adding some linen pieces to my wardrobe.

[@Supercinda]

Love your styling episode. I also really enjoyed your Switzerland 🇨🇭 episode/vlog. Good luck to all of us! Your clothes are amazing.

[@geraldineleonardis]

Oh Marlene I love your style and your Notperfectlinen outfits so much! 😍

[@kathieschenberg4452]

Loved all outfits, but my favourite is the green jumpsuit with the cardigan. These colours together are perfection ❤

[@marianmaher4real]

Your styling is so fun and beautiful. I love linen! Thank you for sharing. 👏

[@heidishomestead9475]

I’ve been exploring the options at Not Perfect Linen and it was helpful to me to see how the clothes look on you. I think they have a nice variety of choices and tons of options for colors! Beautiful. Anyway, I’ve been watching your episodes for a couple of months now and I really enjoy seeing your makes. Thanks for sharing.

[@rowenapaterson4003]

Always loved linen and your styling with knits has got me thinking. The Not Perfect Linen jumpsuit is gorgeous!

[@claudeandwilbur]

I love linen paired with a hand-knit piece! Especially a dress with a cropped sweater or cardigan. Love your spring style and thank you for such a great giveaway!

[@allisondevisser3474]

I love the colour combinations with your linen clothes and knitwear! I really enjoy your podcasts!!

[@katiebroekema6374]

I love seeing how you styled your handknits - I can see how they will work for spring and fall as well. ❤

[@dlindsay913]

Not perfect linen is in fact perfect to wear anytime! It's especially beautiful with handknits for a contemporary look. So enjoyed your knits, WIPs, and cast-on ideas.

[@DearDiary.LetsKnit]

Your curated spring outfits are perfection 🤩

[@Strohhalmchen]

Linen and wool is just a lovely and classic combination 😻 I only have one linen shirt by now so a skirt, dress or pants would be lovely to add to my wardrobe 😊

[@GilaStrick28]

I changed to linen last season, a perfect match with all my knits. Marlene, your style is beautiful!

[@napandknit]

I've been dreaming of a lot of cardigans this spring to have some better layering pieces! Loved watching the styling portion and your beautiful cumulus blouse!

[@cassiestrawbridge7581]

It's quite cold where I live this spring so I feel like I haven't changed my style yet. It's still cold enough to wear a sweater with mohair which I pair with jeans and my Blundstones. I do wish I had jumped on the tiny scarf trend earlier because that would be a perfect addition to my wardrobe this spring. Happy spring knitting Marlene.

[@katierichardson8834]

I love that linen jumpsuit! I could imagine wearing it with a cream colored knit on top!

[@mimamona5158]

Yeah🎉 Another great episode! Love watching them. I enjoyed seeing how you styled your beautiful linen pieces. I am grateful for getting new ideas ❤ I also love to wear linen in spring and sommer. Most likely dresses😊

[@galanthusknits]

I LOVE your style, Marlene. The linen paired with your knits are so lovely. And I really like the way you styled your hair in this video too. Also, thanks for hosting the Cumulus Mini KAL. I just finished my Cumulus and it's out on the deck, drying in the sun as I type this. It was a lot of fun to be a part of the KAL!

[@marleneknits]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you had fun with this KAL as well 🌞

[@Hailah]

I love everything you made and I always like your choice of colors 💕

[@smilinglizards1]

I’m loving the coastal aesthetic this spring/summer and I’m looking forward to styling linen pants with my lighter weight wool sweaters and sandals!

[@skills_by_ils]

The way you style your knits with the linen pieces is stunning! ☀️

[@CreatingHannah]

I love styling my knits over long flowy dresses or pants (or overalls!!) Linen is really the best combo with handknits

[@ElizabethLandau1]

Thanks for sharing your styling ideas. I’d love to see more of that in future videos. ✨

[@knittingPrana]

It´s really lovely and inspiring to watch your podcasts and i want to say you have an excellence taste choosing what you knit and sew. By the way the linen jumpsuit is very very beautiful.

[@kellykoehle9120]

The linen trousers that you sewed look very good on you. I love the drape of linen fabric. Thank you for a fun episode!

[@vassakal]

I have been loving your content! Such a great mix of knitting and styling. ❤

[@AmyBaldwin3]

I've been wanting to try not perfect linen for a while now! I just love all the pieces I've seen other knitters style with their handmade pieces.

[@NK-jo9kz]

So eine schöne Podcastfolge! Super spannende Projekte und die Stylingvideos sind mega cool 😊

[@anaellebilloet2005]

Oh I so love your colour aesthetic, I am definitely in the ‘granola girl’ camp as well. Linen and hand knits go so well together, a match made in heaven ❤

[@marleneknits]

[@nancyzimmermann3949]
