I am a 17 plus year knitter. I am a level 2 craft yarn council certified knitting instructor and I am working on my master knitter certification. First let me say that you would have an easier time knitting with cables needles. If you ever want to learn more about knitting, swatching to figure out the number of stitches I am happy to teach you. But I am really proud of you for giving this a go. It is hard. Many knitters struggle with the purl stitch. Many knitters never knit a sweater.The way you added the new color is not the normal way to add a new color. But it is the same way I use to do it too. You can put knit in time out and she will eventually behave. You did really good.
@@lolam.9291it’s funny. I’m left handed, left handed crochet as well, yet I taught myself right handed knitting because it closely resembled left hand crochet! 😅
Few things: -yarn labels are your best friend! -you used stockinette stitch (1 row knit, 1 row purl) -when doing stockinette stitch, you are going to knit the right side (the side with the v’s) and purl into the rows of the wrong side with the purl bumps on them -the hole/mistake looks like an accidental yarn over -doing sleeves on circular needles is so much easier because you can avoid all the seaming and weaving. You did so good for this being your first time!
I’ve only knitted scarves. I haven’t knit in a few years, so I was thinking of donating my yarn stash. Well, now you’ve made me believe I can knit my own sweater 😅
Lol this was me too i gave my yarn and needle to my sister cuz i promised id never do it again and then not to long ago i went back searching through her things to get my stuff back 😂😂😂
I only have ever knitted scarves and a few beanies, but sweaters? That's scary to me. I've attempted to create a sweater dress a few times, but had to give up since I always messed up with the pattern (plus the pattern wasn't the easiest to follow for a beginner either). This gives me hope that I will get better at it, because I don't wanna give up trying to create clothes. And when that happens, I'll attempt learning crochet and then to actually sew (which hasn't gone really well do far, lol)
You know? Yesterday night I tried to knit a top… (160 stitches) and I had to start over many times. I ended up feeling like a failure and just gave up. Then, I went to bed and watched this video and realised it’s okay and that it happens to every knitter. Sometimes it’s difficult to see here on TH-cam because they barely show the mistakes or the real process, so thank you. Loved it!
Totally recognise that crochet mentality, just figure it out as you go, I still refuse to work from a pattern. A few tips from a fellow intuitive knitter: * Gauge so you know how much to cast on, after that you can sort of freestyle it. A good start is half the battle won. * Look into the Italian cast on for ribbing. * If you knit your ribbing on a smaller needle, also knit the first 1 or 2 rows after the rib on the small needle before switching, makes the transition look nicer. * Keep your crochet hook close to fix any dropped stitches or other mistakes, a lot less time consuming than unraveling all the rows. * Practice on different increase and decrease techniques so you can shape your parts, makes it a bit more like drafting a pattern as you would in sewing.
I SO admire your courage to dive into a project and finish it! That tells a lot about you! I use to knit as you do, from the ‘seat of my pants’ 😂 but I have to tell you one of the most wonderful gifts I gave myself was to find a great knitter who was willing to teach me how to do it properly. The best thing I learned was how to ‘read’ my knitting and now I’m able to correct my errors as I go. I feel like I need a book to write the things you have encouraged me to do 🤗. In fact as I write this I am sewing my about my 25th bucket hat
Fun tip for when you’re learning new techniques! There’s something called a life line where you weave in scrap yarn or thread into your stitches so if you mess up and have to unravel you don’t risk dropping stitches. There are some good TH-cam videos showing how to do it :) it’s saved me a lot of time 😅
there's a way to knit called continental knitting where you hold the yarn in your left hand, and it's a lot easier when you're a crocheter learning how to knit because you also hold the yarn in your right hand when you crochet:)
just wanted to say that when this video first came out i read your comment and decided to give continental knitting a try (after several breakdowns trying to do it the other way) and so far i've made a beanie, a top and a sweater. so thank you. i had already given up on knitting and now i find it so easy
Are you KIDDING me with that sweater??? It is PERFECTION!! I'm so inspired. I'm totally going to try knitting. Thanks so much for this wonderful video!
i love circular needles but THE ONE craft store that's actually close to me only has like really small sizes so i haven't been able to knit anything with them. until i find bigger needles, I'm gonna use the straight ones and i actually like using them ngl
For the ribbing, it's a lot easier to do it in 2 or 3 pattern (so k3, p3 or k4, p4 or whatever) than it is to do k1, p1 because the emergent pattern is much easier to see when it's larger. You won't have to visually remember which is which, you'll be able to just see which is the knit or purl section that way. I love the color combo you chose, it's surprisingly cute.
The sky is the limit! That's what we human can do. Love your courage to start making something you've never make, that's the spirit. If not try, you will never know. Now because you did try, you know can do wonders! congratulations on your success, that's a beautiful sweater. Wishing your future project a success too. Love this video.
Well done! That was a great strategy to turn it upside down to achieve ribbing at the bottom. I am a long time knitter but have never finished a sweater. You’ve inspired me to go for it! I’m taking a refresher/upgrade bootcamp (crochet for knitters) class at the moment, and after seeing yours, I’m now really tempted to make that beautiful crochet sweater as well. ❤️
I am a crochet addict I think knitting looks so much more difficult, but knitters have said they find crocheting way harder too lol I’ve always wanted to try, but i kind of like the natural looks crochet gives because clothes in stores are never crocheted, they’re factory knitted. But it’s all about taste because I love the finished knit sweaters I see! You did a great job!
Knitting a sweater currently and I thought joining the collar was way more complicated but just watching this made it so easy to grasp omg The sweater looks super cute!! You did awesome!
I learned how to crochet this year and now i want to learn how to knit! You have inspired me so much!! I first started watching your sewing videos because i thought i was gonna start sewing on a machine but i realized my mum's sewing machine is broken and then i started crocheting and realized you do too😂❤ Now i watched your videos and i want to start knitting and i love you so much and i respect you so much that you're all energetic and go out of your way to make videos for us❤❤
girl i just started knitting and you're the first person i see knitting a sweater with straight kneedles. I wanted to learn how to knit with straight ones first since they're what i've got at home for now, but all the tutorials i've seen give instructions for circular kneedles so you've just given me courage to start knitting a sweater
I reeeeally recommend circular needles if you want to knit again, you can get sets of interchangeable ones so that you have every size you need! Makes sleeves so easy as you can push the stitches back onto the cable and switch out your needle size once you’ve done the ribbing! Also definitely a good call to use chunky yarn for your first- I’ve just knit a jumper using DK and it took 3 weeks (and I’m pretty fast!) x
I like circular ones too, but tbh I don't see the benefits of interchangeable ones when many patterns call for multiple circular needles of the same size. It's cheaper and faster to use regular ones.
I never knew that technique, interesting! I learned from my Mom and she taught me to wrap the yarn around my left index finger and then you pick it up with the needle instead of wrapping the yarn around the needle like you showed
I appreciate you showing all your struggles and stuff in this video! I have a hard time picking up on things when I'm learning them, which is a bug reason I've been scared to get into knitting. However, seeing you able to overcome adversity during this whole process was a really good reminder for me that it might be messy when I start learning
That is actually very impressive as a first knitting project 😍 I love it! And 3 days is also quite fast 😍 The thing with the ribbing.. You can also get it done with an uneven number of stitches if you learn how to identify your stitches and then you'll just notice by the look if you need to knit or purl. At least that's how it was for me, it just took some time getting used to knitting 😅
Ohhhh I have these needles and never realized they hold your work together. I had to check immediately after you mentionned it and omg. How did I not notice this before. Thanks for the tip. I'm mindblown
You know what I think you did an awesome job as someone who has done basic knitting and followed some simple patterns over the last *cough* 25+years *cough* I wouldn’t have the confidence to just go for it. You did it paid off well done Jenna!!! Also I’m still obsessed with the crocheted one you wore in this vid I watched your make of it loved it but my god it’s an expensive kit 😳 I could buy 3 jumpers for the price but it wouldn’t look as cool.
Omg I love knitting too!! I like that if you make a lil mistake a few rows back, you can go back down through one stitch to fix it!! Gahd, it's magic 😂
You can knit ribbing with odd or even number stitches. When you end one row with knit, you start the next with purl and when you end a row with purl you start the next with knit. I knit and crochet and find them both easy. Different crafts...both very relaxing.
Crochet hooks are your best friend when knitting, just so anyone knows. Helps a lot when when you mess up and have to redo a row instead of using your fingers to pick up the stitches from the previous row
You're really making me consider knitting a sweater. I also have never knitted anything and only have the long knitting needles (which by what I know make creating knit wear harder). I've only ever crocheted stuff until now and have been too scared to try actually starting a knit project even though I'm a _sucker_ for sweaters so who knows maybe this is the year I'll try
You''re amazing. I know this is an old video, but have to say that I'm so impressed that you just dove right in to this project, and adjusted to the little boo boos. I love this sweater. Love your channel.
Yep I started learning knitting a few months ago. I'm normally a crocheter.....I think I just like yarn and anything to do with yarn and the more ways I can learn to make things with yarn makes me happy😊😁❤️🧶🪡🧵
Yay sweater turned out amazing.!! I just finished my very first scrap yarn crocheted sweater, and even though I haven't knitted in a while, you've inspired me to try to knit a sweater now too.
The sweater looks great on you! I didn't expect to watch a twenty min video of someone knitting a sweater, but your personality is so fun and engaging! Made me laugh multiple times throughout the video. Now I must go back to finishing up my sweater. (Time to do all the dreaded seaming and weaving.)
I just started knitting and a trick I use to remember what row is knit or purl is I make a note of where the tail is when I start (like "purl starts at tail" and or "knit ends at tail").
I love knitting I knitting squares to make a cardigan knit 21 stitches to make the squares, you giving it a go it's great as you keep learning you will do well I love the colours again great video.
Oh wow, the result is so cute!🌸🤠 But omg you are making it way harder then it has to be - I mean - if you start using your needle to actually pick up the yarn instead of using your whole hand for every little stitch you'll safe so much time and effort! Also I know somebody else commented this but you actually don't have to redo all your work to fix a single stitch: remove the stitch from the needle, gently peel the work down to where you want to alter it and then with a crochet hook you can put the stitches back together
omg ive been trying to figure out how to make a sweater for months. i dont kno why it never dawned on me that i could just knit the chest and back pieces together like that, its so cute!
thank you for this!! im trying to knit (for the first time ever) a sweater inspired by that one house of sunny cardigan and this makes me more confident in myself!
I Love you❤❤❤❤ already and I will send it to my daughter in case if she want it. You are a joy to watch. Blessing young lady and keep knitting.BTW I'am crocheter but I'am gonna try knitting now😢
imagine those who has this business like handmade knit sweaters,they put alot of work just to finish one and with intricate designs,their works should be paid with justice💫
I've been crocheting for a little over a year now and a few weeks ago I tried to learn how to knit. I had Several breakdowns (like, actually crying about it) because I simply could not do it. I'll just stick to crochet
I love your cropped jumper, and I love the crochèted wavy one you're wearing. "Everyone still has their eye balls!" 🤣🤣 That bit made me giggle a lot! 😄 Thoroughly enjoyed it! Your tension on your knitting is so much better than mine. Im going to find the wavy sweater you did. Its inspired me to try the stitch again as I messed up whilst trying to make a baby blanket. Thanks again for your fun filled video. 😊😊🥰🥰
That's awesome!!!! First sweater that's great itoo love crochet but I've been knitting for a week now so far a sweater but didn't do sleeves yet but I did in the round and safe to say I failed but I'm going to do something new to it. Lol. It turned into an over sized vest and I'm maybe size medium and it looked like an x large so... You can imagine my disappointment in the time spent thinking I'm doing good and I used huge needles but it's all a learning experience. I'm going to try it your way though. Makes way more sense than whatever I was following. Also love the reality of oh shucks it isn't the right size let's undo. I would make the ribbing longer just to cover the tummy but that's just me lol. 😅 great job I love it
I have made many sweaters. Making a swatch is casting on about 10 stitches and knitting for 10 rows and measuring how many stitches you get to an inch and multipy that by the number of inches you need and then plan out your pattern. this would take a ton less time.
Next time you should block all of the pieces before you put it together. This way you can stretch the fabric to your wanted dimensions and make sure the pattern looks nice and clean :) Loved the video!
you should try it again im interested i seeing what you have in store next to knit. this definitely makes me think i can do the knit a sweater soon if i practice so thanks :)
I consider myself a beginner in both crochet and knitting even though i've been doing it for almost 10 years but i haven't really made major projects. Mostly stuck to beanies, bags, and keychains. I think i'm ready to make my 1st sweater!! You''re experience doing it seems like i can also do it!😊😊 ps you somehow remind me of another youtuber, Jordan Orme. The vibes and the humour😅
This is how knitting should be-- relaxed, non-competitive, fun. Our clothes don't have to be perfect! Enjoy life!
If it doesn't have at least one mistake in it, your work is TOO perfect, imo
it adds a little personality✨

hi can i learn from u abit，ive wanted to pick up knitting again because ive stop for around 4-5 years and i only done scarf！
Can you teach lefties? 😝🤚🏼
@@lolam.9291it’s funny. I’m left handed, left handed crochet as well, yet I taught myself right handed knitting because it closely resembled left hand crochet! 😅
It’s how I used to add color to projects crocheting. So I can see where she probably got it from, she did say she like to crochet.
Few things:
-yarn labels are your best friend!
-you used stockinette stitch (1 row knit, 1 row purl)
-when doing stockinette stitch, you are going to knit the right side (the side with the v’s) and purl into the rows of the wrong side with the purl bumps on them
-the hole/mistake looks like an accidental yarn over
-doing sleeves on circular needles is so much easier because you can avoid all the seaming and weaving.
You did so good for this being your first time!
There wasn't any laddering, so the hole looked like an accidental yarn-over to me (a classic beginner's mistake).
@@emilydfdjkbe looked back and you’re right. Will update that, thanks!
do u know what yarn she used
@@187.evelina unless she said or showed the label there isnt really a way to know. There are so many yarns out there.
@@UnsolicitedThoughtsOfARose true, I just cant find a yarn that is good for sweaters
I’ve only knitted scarves. I haven’t knit in a few years, so I was thinking of donating my yarn stash. Well, now you’ve made me believe I can knit my own sweater 😅
SAME. I knew I held on to my needles and yarn for a reason lol
Lol this was me too i gave my yarn and needle to my sister cuz i promised id never do it again and then not to long ago i went back searching through her things to get my stuff back 😂😂😂
I really wish I could see the sweaters that you guys wind up knitting!

Circular needles are 100x easier to knit with too!!

What a crazy ambitious first project! I’m really impressed! I’ve been knitting for about a year now. It’s really hard!
This has me convinced that I could design my own cardigan to fit over my "Muffin-Lovin-Mom-Bod"; 100% inspired
Knitting a sweater currently and I thought joining the collar was way more complicated but just watching this made it so easy to grasp omg

Ohhhh I have these needles and never realized they hold your work together. I had to check immediately after you mentionned it and omg. How did I not notice this before. Thanks for the tip. I'm mindblown
hi can you please tell nissan the name of the needles??
You know what I think you did an awesome job as someone who has done basic knitting and followed some simple patterns over the last *cough* 25+years *cough* I wouldn’t have the confidence to just go for it.

I love it. Love the colours, the design, the length. Looks cozy.
Omg I love knitting too!! I like that if you make a lil mistake a few rows back, you can go back down through one stitch to fix it!! Gahd, it's magic 😂
to make your cast on row not so tight, you can hold both needles together and cast on both needles and that will give you a much looser cast on row
You can knit ribbing with odd or even number stitches. When you end one row with knit, you start the next with purl and when you end a row with purl you start the next with knit. I knit and crochet and find them both easy. Different crafts...both very relaxing.

Love this and want this! Stunning pattern and colours. So glad you kept knitting, you’ve inspired my next knit. Jumper here I come.
I love it, it looks like something Harry Styles would wear
You can add a ribbing after. As well as leaving lifelines which are strings strung in the row to help when u have to rip out rows
I just started knitting and a trick I use to remember what row is knit or purl is I make a note of where the tail is when I start (like "purl starts at tail" and or "knit ends at tail").
this is THE MOST honest knitting video ever! Subscribed
I think its really cute and the fact that you figured it out on your own is pretty amazing . Props to you.
Ok! This is probably the only way I can knit a sweater right now!! I cant wait to try!
I love knitting I knitting squares to make a cardigan knit 21 stitches to make the squares, you giving it a go it's great as you keep learning you will do well I love the colours again great video.
watching this as I crochet my first sweater and its golden entreteinment!!
this convinced me i can make one myself..... im excited to try!!!

This came out really great given how chaotic the process felt lol. I love it!

Same here ♥️😊
this is exactly what I was waiting for after the scarlet and sam crochet top:)))
thank you for this!! im trying to knit (for the first time ever) a sweater inspired by that one house of sunny cardigan and this makes me more confident in myself!
I Love you❤❤❤❤ already and I will send it to my daughter in case if she want it. You are a joy to watch. Blessing young lady and keep knitting.BTW I'am crocheter but I'am gonna try knitting now😢
I love it! It looks trendy and the colors are just rly pretty! Ok, mb it is time to learn how to knit.
You did such a great job and I love how you just jump in and do it! You should look into circular needles and continental knitting! Keep creating!
I love the asymmetrical sleeves so much!!! I'm an avid crocheter, and this makes me wanna try knitting oh no
imagine those who has this business like handmade knit sweaters,they put alot of work just to finish one and with intricate designs,their works should be paid with justice💫
I love it. You did a great job!
You can use a crochet hook to ladder down to fix stitches. It makes it really easy to do it.
You're really interesting and I love your humor. I'm having a good time watching your video. Thanks!
I have never knitted a sweater before either I think yours is really cute!
those needles are so cool! (but i would recommend trying circulars before you invest that much in a set of straight needles)
I've been crocheting for a little over a year now and a few weeks ago I tried to learn how to knit. I had Several breakdowns (like, actually crying about it) because I simply could not do it. I'll just stick to crochet
I started knitting first and crochet was like torture for me. Then I found out that you can crochet left handed and I got it lol
When I get a notification that you have uploaded a video, my happy time begins 📸❣️🍊♥️🥳 😘🥰🤩❤️.
Same
Same here! 😊
Start with ribbing or seed stitch to prevent the rolling. Very nice!
Lovely and so much fun and beauty!!
I love your cropped jumper, and I love the crochèted wavy one you're wearing. "Everyone still has their eye balls!" 🤣🤣
That bit made me giggle a lot! 😄
Thoroughly enjoyed it! Your tension on your knitting is so much better than mine. Im going to find the wavy sweater you did. Its inspired me to try the stitch again as I messed up whilst trying to make a baby blanket. Thanks again for your fun filled video. 😊😊🥰🥰
Unbelievably good! It looks so cute on you. Great job. 😊😍😍
That's awesome!!!! First sweater that's great itoo love crochet but I've been knitting for a week now so far a sweater but didn't do sleeves yet but I did in the round and safe to say I failed but I'm going to do something new to it. Lol. It turned into an over sized vest and I'm maybe size medium and it looked like an x large so... You can imagine my disappointment in the time spent thinking I'm doing good and I used huge needles but it's all a learning experience. I'm going to try it your way though. Makes way more sense than whatever I was following. Also love the reality of oh shucks it isn't the right size let's undo. I would make the ribbing longer just to cover the tummy but that's just me lol. 😅 great job I love it
I wasnt doing that dandy but i think im getting there as this video progresses
I have made many sweaters. Making a swatch is casting on about 10 stitches and knitting for 10 rows and measuring how many stitches you get to an inch and multipy that by the number of inches you need and then plan out your pattern. this would take a ton less time.
aww how creative Jenna! 💖
I freaking love your channel. Love the sweater. You go girl 🧶🧶
that turn out so nice for your first time knitting Jenna😍
Next time you should block all of the pieces before you put it together. This way you can stretch the fabric to your wanted dimensions and make sure the pattern looks nice and clean :) Loved the video!
For ribbing you don’t always have to use smaller needles. You can to make the rubbing tighter but you don’t have to
you should try it again im interested i seeing what you have in store next to knit. this definitely makes me think i can do the knit a sweater soon if i practice so thanks :)
i'm so happy i found your channel :)
Now I really want to learn how to knit. And I will :D I love your jumper. It turned out great!
That’s really good for your first time of knitting I am crocheting and I made a water bottle holder it wasn’t the best because it was my first project
hands up for this channel becoming a knitting account !!!!!
ME
I have the same montreal starbucks mug too! Love those around the world series :) always fun to collect them!
😍 the sweather was so Nice, and it is just your frist time knitring🙀☺️👍
The knitted one looks great too!!
Easy Cast on , make Crochet loops ones you have your Lenght , catch each Loop on to your Knitting Needle,,, super simple
I consider myself a beginner in both crochet and knitting even though i've been doing it for almost 10 years but i haven't really made major projects. Mostly stuck to beanies, bags, and keychains. I think i'm ready to make my 1st sweater!! You''re experience doing it seems like i can also do it!😊😊
ps you somehow remind me of another youtuber, Jordan Orme. The vibes and the humour😅
Wow this makes me believe my dream of making my own sweater can come true
I think its cute! I could never teach myself to do that💜
