love the make along colors

[@tonyalynnd8732]

Those all look like wonderful projects for 2023

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you

[@fivegallonbucket]

Good tip about the yoke and raglan increases combined, as I look down at my latest sweater and see the extra fabric at high bust where I don’t need it...

[@dianebeth3946]

I am very happy I came across your podcast I so look forward to watching each one!! I downloaded the Bee shawl & I am going to give it a try!! It was inspiring & fun to watch your friendship with Becky & your individual choice of knitting it. I think your so creative & your knitting is beautiful!! I Love to listen to the music you play & would love to know who the music is by so i could download look for it.Thank you for an enjoyable visit😊

[@TrudySchwartzBurrill]

Merry Christmas Casey.

[@robyn3349]

Thank you! Some yummy plans! Happy New Year!

[@anzaforbes8819]

I have my list of 9 patterns with the yarns I’m planning to use but those plans might all be dashed after watching this video. I love these patterns 🧡. Send help someone haha😂

[@johnaileenenglish4005]

Thanks for all the great sweater ideas!

[@hawthorngrove3629]

Oh gosh, I have lots of knitting/spinning plans for 2023, some of which I didn't get to start in 2022. I plan to master socks (so far, I haven't managed to knit the heels, I've tried many ways, but I drop stitches). I have a few sock patterns by Fibre Tales, Humlebi socks, Gro socks and Var socks. I'd like to knit the Nurmilintu shawl by Heidi Alander in my naturally hand dyed yarn Scotch Broom Crop by Wool and Pine Gloam Cardigan by Caitlin Hunter in my handpun A Girl's Best Friend shawl by Isabell Kraemer And a Clint Eastwood style poncho for my son with my brown handspun I will talk about my progress on my KZbin channel if you would like to see how I go

[@lorikoury120]

Great video! I hope your voice comes back once and for all very soon! I’m looking forward to trying to keep up with you since my list for 2023 looks a lot like yours. ☺️

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you! I Hope it does too! And yes we have a lot of knitting to do 😂

[@dededraper7016]

Wowza . . . . first time viewer. You've single handedly increased my queue by 4 or 5 patterns !! Look forward to more of your show. Great job !

[@lynnmcentire4014]

I’m trying to knit up my stash. I have 3 sweaters going. I also found a shawl that I’m knitting a lace border on that has been hiding for several years that I want to finish. So much yarn, so little time!

[@janetjroberson2581]

Hello from St. Louis Missouri!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Hello Janet!

[@TaylorOwen]

2:23 you are so flipping hilarious 😂 goodness gracious, I adore you!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Awww thanks Taylor 😘

[@mst7574]

Wow the Calle sweater looks so fantastic. Really thinking about joining the knitalong. If nothing Else it will help me get a sweater on my needles. Maybe even one for myself!!!

[@brookwillow]

I knit my niece a sweater with 100% cotton and it actually turned out nicer than I thought! So I think the cotton merino blend would be especially nice for that petite knit sweater 😉

[@YoungfolkKnits]

I enjoy Cotton content fabric for sure in Arkansas!

[@ruthswarthout1115]

Absolutely love your podcast its fun to see and plan for future knitting i too want to knit some sweaters this coming year you are an inspiration I have been knitting for about 12 yrs but am new to sweaters just did the safe knitting like socks and hats thank you fir letting us see you as you are such a delight 😊 l am 75 yrs young happy knitting and Happy New Year

You have inspired me! First to survey my #memadewardrobe, and then to intentionally plan what will work for my collection.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you! enjoy planning some future knits!

[@jennenns654]

Hahaha Casey. I love it. I am with ya on the changing mind front.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

A million times 😂

[@renamessenger6397]

Great video. Hope you get over that crud soon. I love that you have a stash for 10 years but just can’t acquiring more music luscious fiber. Good luck on the 2023 knitting goals

[@YoungfolkKnits]

I hope so too! Thanks ❤

[@highfiberknits]

AMAZING selections!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thanks! We will see how well I stick to my list 😂

[@CeeCeeCrafts]

I’m looking forward to your 2023 makes & the bougie sweatshirt KAL. I’m going to use the sweater I’m making in a class.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

That sounds perfect!!!

[@jesslamx]

I like having an ever changing list too😂 definitely have a few pullovers on it for the kal and I’m really enjoying socks right now

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Same!! 😂

[@robinlogan2025]

I found you via wool knit hands and I am so glad! I wanted to try a pullover this year and it looks like I will be knitting the Camp pullover. I look forward to watching your podcast

[@solangethompson4251]

Ooh, lovely projects ahead. I love all the colours you chose, can't wait to see progress. Happy knitting.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you! 😊

[@QueenBaha]

💗💐💗💐💗💐💗💐💗💐💗💐💗

[@loveatfirstknit]

Your episodes are always top notch and chock full of inspiration! Thank you for sharing

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you so much!

[@sherismith9517]

This was so fun. I can’t wait to see the changes as well as the plans.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

I’m sure there will be many changes haha

[@ceb2737]

I have made the hazel sweater. I’m an odd one that likes knitting ribbing. One of my favorite sweaters that I have knitted

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Ooooo im so glad to hear that! It makes me excited to cast on

[@ubrylinsky]

Kaci, you have so many projects planned - don’t think you’ll be sleeping much next year 😂. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

I know!! I’m sure they won’t come to fruition

[@katieyoung930]

Thank you for taking the time to share your plans for the year! So excited to watch the process!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thanks for watching!

[@wildflowermagicknits]

Native fibers is the best!! She's taken over my yarn stash lately 😍

[@mikithompson745]

So many amazing projects. Can’t wait to see what you make.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thanks so much!

[@EdenYell]

We should be friends. Maybe we could hold each other accountable for finishing our cast-ons 😆

[@kgillespie4463]

Just watching this back-to-back with your previous episode focusing on the KAL. More inspiration and pattern ideas -- how am I going to decide what to cast on with so many amazing possibilities!?! Thanks for sharing.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

I want to knit all the things!

[@myphotoworldjeankd4001]

Great knitting list. I hope you get to stay on track with your knits. I make intentions list and I get distracted by new “Shiny” yarn. So my intention is to knit from my stash this coming 2023.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

You can do it!

[@catherinecunningham7126]

Sooooooo excited to see your knitting goals come to fruition. I really want to try Spin Cycle yarns. One of these days!!!! I have never knit a sweater but I really want to so that will be my major goal for 2023!!!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing your goals and all of your beautiful yarn! Gives me ideas! Merry Christmas! 🎄

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Oooo you will Have so much fun knitting a sweater!!!!

[@QueensYarnBoutique]

I'm so excited to see your Easy V!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

One of these days

[@alinabadus8735]

So much fun to think about and plan future projects! Looks like you have a nice, cohesive palette and awesome yarns. I'm curious to see how the yak mix will hold up for socks?

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you! And yes I think they will do well with the nylon and wool content.

[@sonjagerstl6593]

Gorgeous knitting plans! Can't wait watching your progress! I also want to knit Caitlin Hunters "Ilya" (still waiting for the yarn ...) and "Bressay" by Marie Wallin ... and the "Winters Beach Cardi" by Andrea Mowry ... or "Elah" by Isabell Kraemer ...😅 ... and a lot of other beautiful sweaters, which are not published yet. 😎 All the best for 2023!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

There is just not enough time in the day

[@Vivcatkemp]

Oh my goodness! Yes to lists and then changing plans😂! I think it’s super helpful to make these plans even as we change them because the general change will often be in the same category with a similar aesthetic. I want to knit the Half & Half I was in process, but had to rip out because I had screwed up my wrap & turns😢 In the end it was ok because I changed my color combo (I was not too far, but that cast on) The other thing I want is my triangle shaped shawls because the sit so perfectly on the shoulders when I’m sitting (and homeschooling) Last thing, never apologize for your stash! It brings so much joy 😊 I have too much and some old skeins but they don’t mind hanging out 😅. Some day I would enjoy a stash tour and how you store your yarn. I normally “toss” my stash (see the Yarn Harlot’s annual tradition) a couple of times a year & it is so inspirational ❤

[@YoungfolkKnits]

I’m restarting my half and half as well! I didn’t like my edge 😅

[@Vivcatkemp]

@@YoungfolkKnits lol 😂 I’m going to slip 2 sts at the end of row to do that nice icord type edge

[@audreyofnuthatchhill]

I encourage you to cast on the Current Mood shawl. It's a delight! In fact, I bound off and wove in the ends on my own version while watching your lovely video. 😄

[@karachickering6769]

Loving the cutaway closeups of your yarn. And absolutely drooling 🤤 over that Full English colorway 😍❤

[@YoungfolkKnits]

It’s so beautiful in person!

[@Carmen-bu3gx]

Your colour sense is soooo good! How much do you love a blue and toffee/orange colour combo? Can’t wait to see how your knits go in 2023.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Oh thank you!

[@leslienero7884]

Nice to see your podcast again! I do hope you will get your voice back and feel better. I need to organize my 2023 knitting plans and this was just what I needed. I splurged with yarn purchasing these last couple of months and have discovered the joy of getting beautiful yarn in the mail! (I got that sock yarn from farmer's daughter too) This is indeed dangerous, but a plan for knitting all the things will help. Look forward to your next video!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Happy mail is the best ❤

[@verapaelman1820]

Thank you again for the inspiration. You are so talented … Merry Christmas and best wishes for a happy, healthy, peaceful and creative 2023 🎄❤️ Vera (Belgium)

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Thank you for watching Vera ❤

[@knotanitter]

My goodness what a great episode- so much in here I need to re watch and take notes! I’ve never done a KAL and feel this is the year!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Haha thanks for watching!

[@ruthmcniff4765]

It’s nice to hear your knitting plans. I’ve just about cleared my needles- finishing with some super bulky hats. I can’t decide what’s next…. Vest? Cardigan? Sweater? Hmmmm. I am planning to join Bakery Bears blanket year-long KAL as well as Knitty McPurly’s Lent Shawl knit along. I really enjoy the support that comes with a kAL!

[@hannahgknits]

Absolutely love those Sheepcamp colors! Also- how did I not know you live so far from a yarn shop- how do you do it?!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

I know 😢 I have to order all my yarn online

[@tamaratafoya9466]

No judging here, just curious because you have chosen so many beautiful knits this year. How many projects do you feel comfortable having on your needles? If I remember correctly, there is no limit!! YOU GO GIRL!!! I think I may be able to knit all these in my lifetime. ; ) As for me, I only feel comfortable having three going at once. If I can’t stand it, I may have four, but that is pretty rare.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Honestly I prefer one! Lately I’ve got 5+ 😭😭 send help

[@rachelraye285]

2023!!! I also have sweater #20 on my list to knit. For your KAL, I think I want to do the arctic light sweater by Kika knits or the throwback by Andrea Mowry. But I am also staring at my Kim Hargarves patterns wanting to make another one.

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Those sound wonderful!

[@melyndaezell8206]

And I’m over here just hoping I can get my sweater done on time for the #bougiesweatshirtkal 😮

[@YoungfolkKnits]

You can!!!

[@katrinalevin4064]

I am new to your podcast and really like your knitting honesty and content. I am currently finishing the Moxie Jacket by Caidee. I want to finish this so that I can cast on my first Felix sweater and then the Daily Sweater, Purl Soho pattern. Happy knitting. I am currently sewing a dress and a pair of wool pants too.

[@leitesta1725]

Awesome as usual Kaci!! I just went thru my stash and planned my 2023 and I have 30 projects ! 😂😂😂 I am inspired to at least try!! Thanks for the enabling ❤ I hope you feel better soon. Take care of yourself!!!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Go for it! 😂

[@laurellae]

I just made my 2023 knitting list last night! I plan to finish my Melting Marl blanket (my only WIP heading into 2023 with me), then I want to knit the Acorns & Antlers sweater, Festive Yoke Pullover, Stripes Sweater, Travelers Cardigan, Alku Cardigan and the Aurora Cabin Shawl, as well as many pairs of socks and maybe a few hats. 😅

[@YoungfolkKnits]

That is an amazing list!!!

[@KnittingWithCatHair]

Ahhhhh.. sooooo many inspirational knitting ideas in this video! 🤣 Thanks for being a bad influence, as always Kaci 🥰 Can't wait to see your Bressay when you get around to casting it on 🤗💕

[@YoungfolkKnits]

I got to hurry up! When does the MAL end?

[@KnittingWithCatHair]

@@YoungfolkKnits August 1st. I also have to hurry up 🤣

[@michellec3808]

Love the split hem on your sweatshirt. Do you mind me asking when you got that?

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Yea! Good ole’ Old Navy 😂

[@carolinemercer9779]

I’m hoping to spin a decent yarn for making a nurtured sweater by Andrea Mowry! She designed it using some of her earlier hand spun so hopefully I can manage it 😅

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Yes!!! That sounds perfect!

[@the_busy_beaver_brooke]

I have 2 quantity's of sweater yarn for hubby and I but never knitted a sweater before (I crocheted a kids sweater) so that's my big goal this coming year! And then I do want to do a pac man Afghan for hubby he's been asking for it forever (it will most likely be crocheted, a flip flop project so my hands don't get to sore knitting) but the main color is black so hard to see 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@YoungfolkKnits]

You got this! Although black yarn is so hard to see but so fun once it’s finished!

[@the_busy_beaver_brooke]

@@YoungfolkKnits I've done a few things but nothing this big...it I'll happen he really wants it...hoping to surprise him for him s birthday in June

[@Plantsandmusicandyarn]

I think one of Aimee sher’s patterns would be lovely with the nutiden! She uses it a lot and I’m test knitting for her right now. She’s incorporating bust darts into some of her patterns, like the building blocks cardi I’m knitting right now and I’m pretty excited to see how it affects the fit!

[@sylviafikiert4825]

So much inspiration Kaci! I have done my make nine list 2023 but like you said it might change at any time 😂 I am joining your KAL with a crochet sweater which I wanted to make for a long time now 😊 Wishing you and your family all the best for the new year 🎉

[@YoungfolkKnits]

We like to change our minds. ThTs no crime 😂

[@janet_Luv2_Knit]

Great episode as always. What was the yarn that you mentioned from South Africa? Did you purchase it in the US? Thanks

[@YoungfolkKnits]

It is Yama fibre and she is on instagram which is how I found her. So soft!

[@The-Vintage-Needlecrafter]

Hi , I love all your videos. I have a question ❓ how do we participate in your knit along? I've never done a knit along before so not sure what to do. Other than knitting my sweater of course.😄

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Yes! All you need to do is knit or crochet a sweater during the time line and post a picture with hashtag #bougiesweatshirtkal on instagram or post a picture of it in the thread in Ravelry ❤❤❤

[@vickistanton9078]

I am the queen of mispronouncing words, so believe me when I say I mean no disrespect nor snobbishness, but you have adorably mispronounced the word cognac! It made me chuckle. It is pronounced Koh-nyack. I only comment because I appreciate being gently told when I mispronounce. I suspect like me you were a precocious reader and learned words from books when you were very young and no one around you was using those words! I can't tell you how many times I have found out that I have been saying a word wrong my whole life! I adore everything about you and your podcast. Happy Holidays

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Hahaha thank you. 😂😂😂 believe it or not I know how to pronounce it but I never say it and sometimes words come out of mouth very sideways 😂 i never know how I’m gonna pronounce something most days of the week. Apparently my brain likes to keep it interesting 🤪

[@nancyevans5696]

Did you say double Sunday was on sale?

[@YoungfolkKnits]

I found some colors on sale at mother knitter

[@balancedskein]

I, too, am guilty of demanding my freinds' opinions and proceeding to do whatever I want (likely not what they suggest) lol! Why are we this way???

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Girl! We just know what we want 😂

[@nightsisterknits]

What is the yarn you mention at 17:47 I’ve listened 12 times and can’t figure out what it is!

[@YoungfolkKnits]

It’s the Sonder dk from sonder Yarn co!

[@nightsisterknits]

@@YoungfolkKnits I heard that one, it's the contrast yarn for that sweater that I can't figure out! Sounds like you're saying wool lolo but for the life of me can't figure out what yarn that is 😅

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Oooo yes! It’s spincycle dyed in the wool - in the color wololo

[@nightsisterknits]

Thank you! I kept looking at it thinking it looked like spincycle but was going crazy trying to figure out this "new" brand of yarn that I'd never heard of.

[@donlanghorne9656]

[@apippin774]

Ok you obviously have never order cognac at a restraunt..cognac is pronounced “cone..yak” 😂

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Hahaha thank you. 😂😂😂 believe it or not I know how to pronounce it but I never say it and sometimes words come out of mouth very sideways 😂 i never know how I’m gonna pronounce something most days of the week. Apparently my brain likes to keep it interesting 🤪

[@theinquisitiveknittingpodcast]

Love to hear about your knitting plans for 2023. My plans is a bit fluent but I do plan to knit from the stash. I have a couple of projects in mind though - The Gilet Åster cardi by @_.nale._, the Steinbodi sweater by @wynja and Heden sweater by @leenihoi for your KAL

[@YoungfolkKnits]

I like your plans!

[@hazelhollowhomestead]

Have you seen the new pullover pattern that Rebecca (Crea Bea) has going to testing 🤌🏻 it’s delicious and looks so cozy

[@YoungfolkKnits]

Yes!!! It’s so gorgeous! I wish I wasn’t testing so many things or I’d apply for it 😭

[@hazelhollowhomestead]

@@YoungfolkKnits it really is! I applied, but I think I’m going to make it either way 😍
