Trivial Knits Episode 14 - My Knitting Plans for 2026 (including my Make Nine & other goals)

In this video, I discuss all my goals and intentions for 2026, including plans for this channel, "rules" around yarn and pattern acquisition, my Make Nine for the year, the patterns I hope to repeat-knit, and the journal I'll be using to track it all. I'm also on Ravelry and Instagram as TrivialKnits If you're looking for something in these show notes that I didn't include, please post a comment and I'll do my best to reply with the info you need! The items shown in the video thumbnail are the Diamante Shawl (WIP), Night Lights Shawl by Andrea Mowry, and Ole Hat. Details for all patterns and yarns discussed in the video are below. Today's trivia question comes from The Knitter's Book of Yarn by Clara Parkes (Bookshop affiliate link: https://bookshop.org/a/8521/978030735...)
