Knitting an Outfit with Dollar Tree Yarn
ฝัง

- Let's do an experiment...comment a 🧶 emoji if you remember the first time I attempted this project!
In March of 2023 I set out to knit (on the LK150 Knitting Machine) an outfit made with ONLY Dollar Tree Yarn, but quickly gave up on the project because as you'll see in the video, the knitting machine is harder than it looks!
After putting the knitting machine in storage for a while the project became a little "out of sight out of mind" until recently y'all asked me... "Whatever happened to the Dollar Tree yarn outfit???" and I'm SO glad you did!
I had a lot of fun getting out my LK 150 Knitting machine and learning to use it again. With the nerve damage in my arm, I've been unable to crochet as much as I used to and this has been such a fun way to make things with yarn again!
This project ended up taking about 25 skeins of yarn from Dollar Tree with a cost total of roughly $32, and it took me the better part of three days to complete.
Overall I liked working with the Dollar Tree yarn. It's not my favorite yarn I've ever used but it's a solid yarn. You can definitely get cheaper yarn when you buy bigger skeins BUT if you're just starting out and want a cheap option for practice yarn, Dollar Tree yarn might be the way to go!
PS This is NOT sponsored by @dollartree but Dollar Tree if you see this...heyyy :)

Thanks :D
I like your earrings there cool 😊
Knitting machines have a big learning curve, yet people consider it “not really handmade” if it’s made with a knitting machine. Someone still has to sit there and take time, make sure there are no hiccups, and stitch everything in the right way after. And someone is making it by their own will, not in a sweat shop or something.
People just forget that, the machine is run by hand!!
Its not an automated Machine!
right a knitting machine you run by hand (like hers not electric) is a tool the same way knitting needles are lol
Thank you holly! You taught me to crochet (1 yr ago) and now I’m re-teaching my nana! She stopped after my great nan passed (15 years ago) and now we are bonding over crochet while watching tv.
I love making gifts for my friends and family, it just feels so personal!
From, a awkward 13 yr old from England ❤
Omgosh thank you for sharing this kind comment with the me! My Ganny taught me to crochet and I’ll cherish it always 💖🧶 hi to your nana from us in the sunflower family! Happy crocheting!
@@HollyAuna ❤️❤️❤️
adorable!! ❤️❤️
the knitting machine is the villain of the season! 😅
LITERALLY!!!! I was so distraught that I forgot to film the part where one of the needles broke. Lol. 😂 that is for next seasons drama lol
You were so patient to keep going! Any time my yarn comes off or it gets stuck or something goes wrong, I usually just undo everything 😂 love the video!
THE KNITTING MACHINE!!!!!
The brand new holiday movie! Great for the family :)
@@HollyTaylorsVersion1989 LOL
@@hope4thehomeless it was testing my patience lol
The outfit turned out so cute!! You did so good to learn how to do that on the knitting machine, congrats!!
Thank you so much!!!!!!
Don't forget to like the video guys 💜
Awe thank you!!!!! 🌻🌻🌻
I won’t forget
Ok

I forgot
She has so many cute gems in her house. The blanket next to her is so beautiful. And i love the rope lamp, and the gumball machine.
Omgosh thank you I made the blanket!!! Corner to corner crochet!!!
I came here from your second attempt at a knitting machine sweater. The Valentine's Hoodie for Josh. I just wanna say I love your living room. It looks so cute and cozy and I love it.
Omgosh hi thanks for watching and commenting and welcome to the sunflower family!!!!
The color combo of the sweater is everything! You look absolutely amazing in these colors, almost like they make you shine!💖✨
Omgosh this comment is everything ✨
Dollar tree yarn is one of my favorite yarns I crochet and knit in the process of learning how to use a sewing machine. I’m not gonna say knitting machines are not making a product that is not handmade. I think it’s homemade but I find knitting machines to be way more complicated than knitting, but I can see how would be easier for someone I love your videos so much you have helped me with my crochet so many times you have to be one of my favorite TH-camrs
❤
Thank you for such a kind thoughtful comment!
This is so cool.. it's 10 pm in Los Angeles, no snow here.. but we do have lovely 80° weather, and rain in the forecast 😢
And these colors are giving me LIFE!!! You did an incredible job.. congratulations!
Omgosh thank you so much! I spent part of last January in LA and I miss those sunny vibes lol soak it up!

Aweeee thank you for this comment
just learned how to crochet and i love your channel and im watching as i learn more to my crocheting journey 🌷🫶🏻🎀
That’s awesome happy crocheting!!!!
@HollyAuna you are such a breath of fresh air. Just starting the crochet journey. Learning the basics. Was teaching classes for Michaels as I learned but that has disappeared overnight. I just love your positive energy and turning oops into wooops! You have accomplished so much and inspired many. Congrats👏 on your lovely knit🧶 reasonably priced🤑 ensemble. Wear it in good health. So glad I found you out here in cyberspace. 💖✨💖
awe thank you for the sweet comment! I'm so sad that the lasses at michaels went away!? Hope you can continue to learn to crochet here and other youtubers videos as well
no ones gonna talk about the crocks in the snow ;o; lovely video btw
LOL i love my snow crocs :) like literally theyre lined on the inside and the bar across the back is like snow shoe material. I literally wear crocs every day of my life
great job!!!! love the colors!
Thank you!
I love watching your videos and crafting because I feel like i'm hanging out with a friend.
This made my day!
I love your earrings (I did that too but with only one marker not multiple) and you are really fun and entertaining to watch
Awe thanks so much earring twin 💖🧶
I LOVE HOW THE OUTFIT LOOKS !!!!
Thanks uuuu im obsessed with it lol
How Fun! I will be happy to learn how to crochet!! ❤
yay i hope you love crocheting :)
I think you just gave me the solution to my crochet sweater problem, I don’t use a pattern and startet with the arms and crocheting them round, but I didn’t know how to fix the shoulder, by using a dropped shoulder for the mid section everything should work out. THANK YOU ^-^ 8:07
Awe yay I’m so so so glad let me know if it works!
You could make a cowl and add it to the top for a neckline…just a thought for later on when you want to “refresh” the sweater
Oo good idea!
YOUR AN AMAZING PERSON AND YOU DO SO MOUCH JUST FOR US❤❤❤ LOVE YOU HOLLY
This comment made my day 😭💖 love yall
You look amazing! The outfit looks so cute! It was honestly nice watching as if we were chilling with you on your knitting adventure! 😂

That is a super cute outfit

Love your knitting machine -I hope to own one soon. I have been binge watching knitting board machine Projects and notice quite a few use waste yarn for the beginning and end of projects. I love the colors of your sweater😃
I love your videos and your earrings ❤❤❤😊
Thank youuuuuu! I made the earrings lol 🥰
Omg I love your earrings ❤❤❤❤
The stitch maker ones!? I made them 🥰

That sweater is EVERYTHING! 😍🌻🥰 I'm in love with the sleeves!!! Also, I'm new here!! I'm looking forward to more videos!! ❤

Thank youuuu

I love the outfit
Thank you!!!
Its so cute i loved watching this while crocheting
Awe thanks for watching!!!! Every Monday at 5pm ct we do a live stream called “Monday crochet” Hope you can come crochet with us!
Super under rated!
Omgosh thank you!!!
I LOVE the outfit!!! It turned out GREAT Holly!!!! 💜💜💜
Thanks so much 😊
I remember seeing that video when u bought the yarn! 🧶Glad u finally finished!
I made hats and mittens for my kids using dollar tree yarn! I know I could have just bought them hats and gloves there but I needed to break in my sentro lol
so glad we finally finished it too!!!! love that you made hats and mittens using the yarn! so cool!
I love it! Especially the sweater and gloves!!!
Thank you! I want to make more sweaters for sure!
I bought a bunch of cotton yarn from a dollar store with the idea to make a blanket. Its a stiff yarn and i have no idea what me from last year was thinking, this yarn is not for blankets and i didnt even have enough for a blanket. I had bought a flannel blanket to go behind to make it softer and warmer. My way of making it fit is use another yarn I have a bunch of and do a round on all the squares i have, a couple rounds around it all and it will fit the flannel, and then add a border. It should serve me well until I can make a better blanket 😂😂
A good use for cotton yarn is cat toys if you have a cat or know someone with a cat!
The outfit is adorable. I'm curious how well Dollar Tree yarn washes and dries. Could you do a video about that?
thank you so much! I'll absolutely make a short the first time i wash it to show yall how it does. Honestly i'm curious myself lol
Wow that’s an icy road!!
Right!? We were really snowed in
You are literally so talented. I’ve been trying to learn to crochet but it doesn’t work for me. It’s probably because I’m using chunky yarn tho. Anyway, I hope I become as amazing like u.❤
omgosh you are too sweet! i believe in you! Crochet is hard at first but so fun! I made this tutorial i hope it helps!
This is amazing!!
Awe thank you!
Finally! I was wondering about this it turned out amazing!!!! Around 30$ for a HANDMADE sweater, hat and fingerless gloves.. whaaaaaat!
right!? i honestly think i can do it even cheaper with buying a bigger skien in yarn but maybe i'll have to that in a future project lol
❤❤❤
💖💖💖
i was wondering what happened to this series!! so glad that you didn’t give up on this idea because it’s so cool 🧶
LOL just took me awhile to get back to it but I'm so glad we finally finished it :)
Love this video!!! I love the knitting machine. I might just get mine out of the back of the closet. Thanks!
Awe let us know if you do!!!! Also do you have any tips for not dropping stitches lol
It looks so good when I saw it on the live and through the process
Thank you so much!!!
You are adorable! So cute!!!
Awe this made my day !
I loveuuu❤❤❤❤❤❤ur vids are so good
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
I LOVE YOUR EARRINGS❤❤
Thanks I made them!
Love this! So glad you did it!
thank you :) :) :)
I love how when you were making the sleeves, you were wearing the sweater!
I was literally so excited to just start wearing any part of it 😂😂😂
@@HollyAuna LOL 😂 😂😂😂😂
Yay it’s starting!!
Yay!
Noice job. And it is very impressive regardless if it was machine or manual, sweaters are beasts of a project that I am I happy to not tackle yet as a manual knitter. I still need to learn how to do socks and gloves, then maybe I'll go for it.
Still amazing and glad you were able to enjoy the snow days.
I really loved making the gloves and will definitely be crocheting some soon!!!!
I don’t think I could crochet a full sweater with regular size yarn lol it takes forever
Just became apart of the sunflower family :) ❤
Welcome to the sunflower family!!!!
New here. You remind me of my daughter and I think she would love those too. I like the use of different sizes/types of yarns. That's super fun.
Welcome to the sunflower family!!! 🌻🧶💖
Holly... are those stitch marker earrings?!?! 😂
Yep! Made them 💖
i love your stitch marker earrings ! they are so cute!!!☺✨ you did it so well !!😍😍☺💗☺😍✨💗😍😝

It was testing me 😂
I should try a project like this if I can ever find the time to do it lol
ooo yes let us know if you do!
I love it! You're so stinking talented at everything you touch! 💕🩷💕🩷💕 The two different lengths on the sweater hem looks like a high low sweater! I wouldn't have known it wasn't intentional had you not told us!
awe thank you and LOL yes i mean of courseeee i meant to do that lol
@@HollyAuna Hehehehe! 😂😉

Love how "snowed in" is two inches, Tennessee wouldnt survive in wisconsin for 10 minutes 😂
LOL right? When i moved here i was SO confused, we just don't have the infrastructure here at all for snow
Omg 9 months, three straight days, I have adhd too Lolol 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
We need that skirt to happen. I know you have more scrap yarn. Where are you hiding it ❤😂
I do want to figure out how to make a skirt I’ll actually like / wear cause I like skirts. I just can’t figure out a yarn skirt 😂🤷🏻♀️
I love the dollar tree yarn! It's so much nicer to crochet with than Red Heart yarn.
it really is good quality!
WOAH-
😻
I just saw the YT short where you bought all that yarn and immediately came here
You came at a good time since they video was posted a year ago 😂😂😂
Amazing! ❤❤❤
Thank you!
I want to get a knitting machine like that …
It’s definitely hard to learn but it’s fun!
