making my back to school outfits | knitting a striped mohair sweater vlog
I've been working on this sweater for the last couple weeks. It wasn't something I expected to like because it honestly started as just a concoction of yarns and a last minute decision to knit a sweater. The only reason I started this is because I needed something to knit while watching a two hour video explaining the entire marauders fandom after finishing all the Harry Potter books and movies and feeling empty inside with nothing else to read from that universe. Oh, and also the 10 hour road trip I did the following day. Now, this sweater has won my heart and is actually a favorite of mine. I will be wearing this too much during the school year and I will be making a few more items for back to school season so expect this to be a series. If you are reading this - guess what my next project is and confuse the people who didn't read the description.

มุมมอง 2.7K21 วันที่ผ่านมา
I made a bunch of summer tops and shorts! This took about 7 Harry Potter books and the length of several mauraders fandom explanation videos (don’t ask). Needless to say, I’ve been spending a lot of free time crocheting and knitting and this video shows some of my recent projects.

your works are soooo good, i love the first sew project you showed!!
Thank you!!
That’s the perfect quilted jacket! I have been searching for a pattern similar to this! No luck yet but 🤞🏼
Thank you! I self drafted the pattern, but I wish you the best of luck!! I know yours will turn out great :))
You can use elastic, or maybe a stretchy thread through the top most row. As long as you try it on before tying it off, you could wiggle around and make sure it sits right
Thanks! I thought about using an elastic but all of my sewing supplies are all packed up and I don’t have access to them so I just decided to do a row of crochet haha
These look so good, watched and enjoyed till the end ☺☺
Thank you!!
Super cute and pink looks so good on you!
Aww thanks!! I like it too except when my face gets really red and matches my sweater lol
@@made.byalena LOL that happens to me too
Amazing!!! I love this tutorial thank you sm 😊
Yay I’m so glad it actually makes sense haha
These are so cute!!❤
Thanks ❤
omg that shell stitch shirt is absolutely gorgeous!!! was it all free hand or did you follow a pattern or tutorial? would love to try it out ahhh ps. so excited to hear about ur secret project LOL !!
Literally just bought the same yarn to try to freehand this today after being easily influenced. Would love a pattern link if possible!
I didn’t follow a pattern but I just did a chain about the length of my chest, and then did shell stitches in the round (5 double crochet in 1 stitch, skip 2 stitches and do a single crochet in the 3rd stitch, skip 2 stitches and do 5 double crochets in the 3rd stitch) all the way around and join it at the beginning by either a single crochet in the beginning or 2 double crochets and a slip stitch - depending on the row (I would look up how to do shell stitch in the round) Then when the tube was as long as I wanted it, I marked where I wanted my sleeves making it even, and then chained the length of a sleeve and just did shell stitch back and forth for a couple rows and then did a few rows where i didnt go all the way to the end (so that it would be a cap sleeve shape) and then did a few more rows all the way to the end to kind if even it out. It was all freehand but maybe I'll film a tutorial in more detail! hope this helps - sorry i dont have a written pattern
everythings so cute!! love watching your crafting process<33 also very tempted to re-read harry potter now
Aww thank you!! I would highly recommend re reading Harry Potter - it was incredible
everything you made was so cute!! 🫶 i love the vest
Thank you!!
This was chill but fun to watch , you seem so genuine too and the things you made were so cute🤍✨
Thank you so much!!
The blue shirt is super cute ❤
Thanks!! I love it too!
Fantastic video, watched and enjoyed till the end ☺☺
Thank you :)
Can you make a pattern for the white and purple sweater
I just followed a basic raglan pattern but I explain what I did in the “crocheting and knitting my spring wardrobe” video :)
Give yor mom one she deserve it
I give her a ton of things haha but she does deserve it
omg hbd! still have never finsihed reading the harry potter series... i'm on book 6 currently
Thank you!! I would highly recommend finishing the series - it’s so good!
Okay I got to 7:50 and now I’m stuck and confused :-(
Hi! I decreased exactly the same way as I did the front panels by doing a decrease and ending one early. The only difference is that the back panel is double the size. Once I got to a couple rows before the end, I stopped decreasing and went straight up while also doing the neck shaping I talk about soon. Sorry I don’t know how to explain it better - where exactly are you confused?
your hair at the beginning is adorable omg the bows
@@v6243_____ thank you!! I love putting little bows in my hair right now 🫶
how much yarn did you use? love this!
Hi! Not sure how much I used exactly, but I didn’t even use a whole skein from what I remember!
Something about this tutorial made strap decreases click in my brain. Thank you for simplifying!
Thank you! So glad it helps you! Honestly not sure if it’s correct but it works so why not 🤷♀️
Your hair is really pretty
Thank you!!
Do you have a written pattern for this? ❤
I haven’t written one yet but I might soon and put it here in the comments!
these videos are so cozy! i feel like we're just hanging out and you're showing me cool stuff. love the vibes
Aww thanks!! 🫶
i'm so glad you were in my suggested videos! these are all so beautiful and i have an itch to go learn how to knit now
Awww that’s so sweet :)) you should definitely learn to knit it’s so fun and you can make the cutest things 💛
What type of sewing machine do you use?
I have a Singer Tradition I’m pretty sure - one of the cheapest options at Joann’s, but I’m thinking of getting a nicer one soon as I’ve been using it a lot and it’s not super great after having it for a year and a half
You are such a BOSS GIRL ❤❤❤
Haha thank you!
The white vest with the pink ribbons, those you can wear 100 times, and I like how you put that double row of eyelet on the bottom of that blue top, do you wind the elastic on the bobbin or put the elastic down and zig zag, because I've never tried this. I hope you are feeling better and Have a lovely week
Thanks!! I hand wind the elastic in the bobbin and turn the stitch length and tension all the way up and it makes it stretchy!
I love having these videos in the background while I craft😍
I’m so glad to hear that!! I also love watching other craft videos while I knit or crochet :)
I Luv you too! Anyway if you want to make a million dollars just teach us how to have energy like you do, what do you eat and how do you have so much energy, write a book about it and then you'll have tons of money!!!!!!!
Haha thank you! I don’t know why I have so much energy I just do
@@made.byalena thank you for writing me back, I was so worried about you, how is your back?
How dyou cut the yarn?
I use nail clippers on flights :)
How long have you been crocheting?? I can't make clothes that well, I think I'm more of a Amigurimi type crocheter 😅
I’ve been crocheting since last January so a year and a half now! You can totally do it :)
You would make a strawberry version of the heart bag!!
That would be so cute!!
I don't have enough time to finish my wip blankets 😅
I totally feel that
That's soo cute, do you have any tips for setting up a business?
Honestly I’m really new to it too but I’d recommend setting up an instagram account and posting a lot of content there! And maybe look into some local markets to sell at :)
Love it! I can crochet but I SUCK at knitting. Maybe I can get better this summer. 😊
Yesss, this summer is the summer of knitting :))
YOU MADE THAT!?!?!

I'm convinced I need to crochet a cardigan now because that's sooo pretty
Do itttt
watching this while following your crochet vest tutorial loll:)) love the sweater girl the colour suits you so well! also it must've been so frustrating to keep losing all that footage😭😭
Oh my gosh please send me a photo of your finished vest on Instagram @madeby.alena !!! And thank you 🫶🫶
@@made.byalena of coursee!!<33
Not the birds 💀
Was indeed quite terrifying 😭
this is incredible!! I've been knitting for a couple years and my first sweater was definitely not as refined as yours, amazing! How long did this take you to knit?
Thank you! It took me about a month because I started mid December and finished mid January!
The second one is sooo pretty
Thanks!!
I’m glad mom speaks up about her preference ❤, everything you made is so beautiful
Thank you!! I always want my mom to like the things I make for her :)
What size are you making? :p
In this video I’m making a size small but the pattern should be adjustable to most sizes!
I would love to recreate the white top. Do you have a tutorial or maybe how you made it in more detail? If you dont mind me recreating it. Also ur vids are so fun to watch and really calm! :)
I am planning on making another one soon so I’ll film a tutorial for that :))
u so cute and i luv ur style!! also thrifted yarn + handmade clothes is the best sustainable combo :)))
Aww thank you :))
I love the summer colors 🩷🩷
Thank you 🫶
You’re so talented!!!! TFS!!!! Keep up the good work and wishing you the best success with your store! 🤗
Aww thank you!! ☺️
Congratulations, watched and enjoyed till the end ☺☺
