fall knitting plans for 2024 | lots of cabled cardigans, chunky sweaters and fun accessories

i was thinking about knitting the braidy loop sweater too!! can’t wait for fall knitting to start :)) ❤

The Braidy Loop sweater and Elara Cardigan are on my list too! 😊

I was a tester for the Elara Cardigan, I knit the red one! I used the knitting for olive heavy merino + mohair combo. It's a lovely lovely pattern, so so fast. 

I personally found that using too fluffy of a yarn, like 2 strands of alpaca, that I lost a lot of definition of the cables. I did a swatch with a rust color and I couldn't really see the cables at all. My only advice is if you go fluffy with that pattern, to use a lighter color.

Looking forward to your plans ! I heard that Rico creative make it tweed is a great alternative to Noro yarns at a much better budget maybe that's a good option for your step by step sweater? Happy knitting :)

Hii, I recently knitted with drops mohair (very itchy, can't have skin contact) and brushed alpaca and kfo mohair (can wear directly to skin). The brushed alpaca is twice as thick as the mohair, so the fabric of my sweater truned out very dense. Drops bruhed alpaca is still itchy, but it hasn't any hard hairs like the drops mohair. I need to wear a turtleneck under for sure. I hope it'll work for you 🧡

Knitting for Olive mohair is a lot more soft then Drops. I would rather not use mohair then using Drops. It’s expensive but compared to others of that price range it’s better quality (cruelty free silk and traceable mohair) and the color selection is much better.

Hey, about mohair and itchiness, I’ve heard of Midnatssol by CaMaRose which is lace weight and baby alpaca / tencel / merino and is much cheaper than usual mohair (KFO and such). People are saying it is very soft and is nice to wear close to the neck, I have yet to try it though

hi there! thanks for another lovely video 🤍 i'm going to leave yet another comment on the drops vs kfo mohair thingy, bc these two could NOT be further apart!! as an extremely sensitive-skinned girlie i've tried several & to me the drops kid silk is a ball of yarn from hell, whereas the kfo is the only one that does not feel itchy or scratchy in any way 🥰

Braidy Loops is next in my queue! I have some beautiful Noro I’m going to use for it, which I am so excited for

the brioche chunky was my first brioche project and a favourite classic scarf. It's warm but also airy and so soft

oh my gosh!! i’m the one who knit the elara cardigan in rauma fivel! thank you so much for the compliments💕
it was such a fun, fast knit and rauma fivel is definitely perfect for that mix of fluff and definition. it’s very warm and knits up wonderfully:)

The Braidy Loop sweater is so dreamy!! 😍

You may, of course, already have heard of it before but just in case 😊- as for the Oslo Hat, actually you need two skeins of Double Sunday for your size plus literally a few metres from the third skein. If you’re going to make two hats in the same colour, you may count two skeins for you and three for your boyfriend.

hey :) I just discovered your channel and I am so happy I did. I love listening to your voice :)
Your plans seem like a lot but you have some great ideas! Can't wait to see them becoming real :)

new sub and i must say your patterns and style are gorgeous but one complaint and i am so sorry but it isn't only you but a common thing i been running into for unending years by now and that is , no one uses autumn colors in their crochet and knitting work. i am just so baffled by it because when winter season hits everyone runs for the snow colors, then the bold christmas tree reds blues greens golds and silvers with the sparkles and shine. For spring everyone reaches for pastels and summer everyone reaches for the meadow and open fields colors along with beach side colors. But when it comes to autumn no one reaches for the pumpkin , cinnamon, nutmeg, pecan , chestnut, oranges, blacks, maple tree reds, golden hues of lothlorien leaves, deep plum purples and so many variations of autumn tones abroad that i do not have a name for but when it is seen in forest trees and nature during the autumn seasons everyone scurries for the hot cider and those chilly crisp bulky sweater and jeans long trail walks with their loved one. Why isn't anyone using autumn color tones in crocheting and knitting is beyond me !!!!! and leaf patterns are so needed for these colors.

If you haven't tried cabling without a cable needle yet, I highly recommend it. Much less fiddly than using a cable needle, and makes knitting cables so much faster and more fun.

Hi, great patterns! I love many of those too. I am finishing up a ranunculus that I used the drops brushed alpaca silk for 1 strand and it was wonderful to work with and feels amazing! I have Fibromyalgia and have Super sensitive skin so I have issues finding yarns that work for me. I wanted to let you know that works for me and I've worn the sweater for a while around the house to make sure. I'm doing the bottom ribbing and have finished everything else so I definitely have the full effect of the drops brushed. Hope that helps... 1 thing, I did go through more of it than I thought I would so I'm glad I bought an extra skein. For reference, I held it double with KFO merino.

Czesc! Happy to have found your channel. I'm also Polish, also living abroad (Sweden). Currently thinking about either starting to design patters, or starting a podcast. Or both :D One of the things that has been inspiring me is seeing so many designs by Polish creators gaining popularity recently, there is definitely some momentum building <3

so happy to have found another cozy knitting channel <3 I work in a yarn store in Sweden and we sell both the kitting for olive mohair and the Isager mohair, as well as other brands, and the unanimous opinion from our customers is that the Isager mohair is the softest one, so maybe give that a go if you wanna try some mohairs that wont itch! also for mandy's sophie shawl I'm pretty sure she just stopped increasing earlier than in the pattern. A lot of people knit the sophie patterns with leftover yarns and weigh it as you go and by the time you have exactly half of the yarn left you start decreasing, that way the shawl might become smaller but you use up every single gram of the yarn!

Hi Wiktoria! Really recommend you to make hats - I was growing up on my knitting journey with them, but this year I want to try socks chapter ( and I'm a little bit scared of second sock tirednes ). When you said Polish name of knitter I was in schock! You have such a good english accent! Warm greetings from Poland
