As winter approaches in the northern hemisphere, many of you may be asking this anguished question: Am I in a #NordicNoir? I've created a handy guide!

Flow chart with various questions and answer paths that will let the user know whether or not they are in a Nordic Noir. Hard to describe the diagram with only text, sorry.

My mum deteriorated and then hit level ground for a while and I hope that you find some level ground soon ☺️🙏

I’m 30 pages in and feeling like it could turn into a really good read! Thanks for your affirmation!

My next reading group read. I’ve had this on my shelves for years!

Great Circle, by Maggie Shipstead - the cover shows livid skies in red and navy, which is being crossed by a tiny and vulnerable looking plane

You should wear what you want! I am never confident about what goes with what. I wish I had more colour sense. I’ve got millions of white t shirts.

Thank you! Yes it feels very special and I’m looking forward to wearing it! Might wear it tomorrow actually. Thanks for your kind words!

You should be a stylist! You sound like you understand colour so much better than me. I’d put you in charge of my wardrobe

I’ve surprised myself. It’s my first tank top x thanks!

Of course! Thank you. It’s called Audrey. It’s on my Ravelry. I’m piedknitter x

That’s very kind of you. Icelandic yarn is incredibly light and also warm

Of course! It’s Audrey - it’s on my Ravelry - I’m Piedknitter x

Piedwarbler @piedwarbler.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Yeah! Thanks! I’m quite surprised how pleased I am with it. I just need to remember to cast off more loosely round the neck on my next projects! Really appreciate your help!

Thank you @debbietknits.bsky.social for all the help! Also a big thank you to Littleberry on Ravelry who helped me find the right pattern for the yarn after I bought the yarn without a pattern in mind, except I knew I wanted a tank top!

That’s my finished knitted tank top in yellow Einrum + 2 Icelandic wool with strand of mulberry silk 🧶 I’m happy with the way it’s turned out

Good idea, yes, I’ll bear that in mind. I hadn’t given it a thought which clearly if you’re working with natural wool and not superwash is something I do need to think about x

Currently reading this - after reading Anne Glenconner’s Manners and Mischief, Craig Brown’s A Voyage Around the Queen (most marvellous fun) and Sean Song by Charles Spencer, in September

It is the same one, but I think it’s just that I have put it in a dark back bedroom?!?! We will see when it’s dry! (Fingers and everything crossed)!!

Piedwarbler @piedwarbler.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I haven’t heard of Soak! Woolite is the only one I know. I was thinking of doing some colour work, is there anything to know, like should you be careful with what yarn to get?

Piedwarbler @piedwarbler.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Oh thanks! That’s good to know! I don’t know that.

Let me know how that went. I have read that Princess Anne carries one in her handbag on royal engagements, for an energy boost. Seems like a good idea. I am not keen on bananas unless they are at a perfect stage of ripeness, and even then the little bits of string make me 😟
