In this weeks video, join me as I go through my entire collection of hand-knit sweaters and make some tough decisions on which ones to declutter. It's time to evaluate which ones still bring me joy and which ones could find a new home. I'll share the stories behind my favorite sweaters, the patterns I used, and the challenges I faced while knitting them. From cozy winter warmers to delicate spring layers, my collection spans a wide range of styles and colors. As we dive into this decluttering journey, you'll get a closer look at the craftsmanship and love that went into each stitch.
Decluttering isn't easy, especially when it involves handmade items filled with personal memories. Whether it's a matter of fit, style, or sentimental value, each sweater has a story, and I'm excited to share them with you. If you're a fellow knitter or someone who appreciates the art of knitting, this video is for you! Maybe you'll get inspired to tackle your own collection or start a new project. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more knitting adventures, tips, and tutorials. Let's declutter together and make room for new creative endeavors!

im absolutely astounded by how many of these are self drafted and how amazing they look!!
Thank you, your so sweet 🥰
Lol me and my notepad writing down name patterns 🤣👁️👁️✍🏼
OMG, someday I’ll make every pattern ever (assuming I live another 1000 years)
@@BreathingYarn we are truly pattern hoardes🤣🤣🤣 and proud of it I am for sure!!
Me too 😂
I adore these sweaters! I love that you are not afraid of colours. I know that style is very personal and I think there is generally no wrong way to make clothes but it's just so refreshing to see things knitted in other colors than just beige or cream. And it's also nice to see someone knit with Drops yarn.. after watching knitting podcasts, I often feel like I should buy better yarn but I simply can't afford that.
Color intimidates the hell out of me but it’s soooooo much more fun 🌈
I was not that happy that I woke up so I really appreciated your reminder to be and to be mindful of that. Thank you. You have made some beautiful items.
Thank you and I’m glad you woke up today 🥰
@@BreathingYarn Thank you so much.
Just a crocheter passing through who is also too intimidated by knit patterns and videos. So instead, she binges lovely knitters like you. You're so fun to listen to! The brown fuzzy sweater, and your first sweater were my favourites.
You definitely don’t have to, but I’d recommend just going for it with knitting a sweater! It can always be unraveled. Obviously though, I’m totally biased. I’m so excited to start on my first crochet sweater though. Super nervous but also excited. 😆
@@BreathingYarn That's true, just jumping in might be my only option or I may never start😂 Good luck on your crochet sweater!
Honestly, as someone who has crocheted since childhood and was always to intimidated to learn to knit, DO IT! It's not nearly as hard as you think. Learn continental and go for it! It's easier than crochet, imo.
@@uschilou Funnily enough, I tried continental and found it SO hard. My brain keeps thinking the right needle is a hook😭. Imagine trying to crochet using a needle, it's like that.
I'll absolutely take the leap though!
@jazz-axy9924 Ugh yes, try watching Norman from Nimble Needles. His learning to knit or beginner knitting playlist really helped me.
The secret is to wear the sweaters indoors but keep your house RIDICULOUSLY cold all winter. Saves on heating costs, and you look great. 🤷♀️
I need to move back to a colder climate 😂
@@BreathingYarn There's that, too 😂
The half striped boucle sweater is actually cool and I think it suits you very nicely! And the red tank top peeking out oddly complements it
I love all your self drafted patterns, especially the rainbow one!
Thank you!!!
the red halter, the purple sweater and the light brown one are STUNNING on you!! and you seem so chill and kind, too. thank you for sharing
Thank you 🥰
i just found you on my recommended and i'm so entertained! getting so much insight rn :)
Welcome!! 🥰🥰🥰
The Polaroid Sweater is awesome
Thanks! It’s so cute, I want to make it again to fix the fit issues 😊
obsessed with your energy and style, i've never hit subscribe so fast!!
you're gonna make me cry, thank you so much!!
I have just met you and I want to be best friends. Lol the Sky High reference got me. I love your knits, I love your style, you are hilarious, and we have similar body types! Hello, new fiber friend!
It’s so hard to find people with similar body types and I love finding people with similar to mine. It really helps me appreciate mine more 💛💛💛 and THANK YOU for the sky high recognition 😂
@@BreathingYarn Agreed! Having this body type is a little new to me so I'm still learning to be comfortable and how to style it etc.
All your sweaters look so good! I love the Polaroid one best. I’m still a beginner crocheter but hopefully one day I could make a sweater even half as nice as yours.
This was fun, I'm so impressed by your self drafted ones.
The polaroid sweater is so cute!!
Thanks! It’s one of my favorites
i’m so in love with every piece that you’ve shown in this video! so much my personal style and also you are sooo talented💓
Thank you 🥰 you’re awesome!
Loved seeing all your sweaters! That red knitted halter on you looks so rad! And your justification for wearing the sweater backwards with the cable party in the back. 😄
Why are you just the best?!? 😄
I’ve watched only 3 minutes and… I am obsessed ❤❤❤you are adorable!
Oh my gosh, thank you 😊 you’re so sweet
This is amazing! This video was so inspiring both for items I want to knit and to not hold myself to loving to wear everything I make!
Also can we talk about the rainbow coming through the window on the second to last shot! AMAZING!
Yes to not loving everything we make! It’s something I was not prepared for when I started knitting. 🧶
The rainbow will never stop making me smile 😊 the rainbow window film is now a must have!!!!
Your videos are always so chill and cosy and this one felt like just hanging out on a sunday afternoon chatting about knitting with a friend, I love it!
Seriously the best compliment!!!!
@@BreathingYarn aw I’m glad! I love your vids and every time I see you wear that halibut sweater I get more encouraged to try to make one even though I’ve never done colour work before in my knitting AND I’ve never knitted anything other than hats 😂 I might try a swatch or something and see how it goes first!
You’ve got this! Colorwork is one of those things that seems really complicated until you do it and then it’s like “really? That’s it?”
@@BreathingYarn oh thats good to hear!! Definitely gonna give it a shot! 😁
Right, it is like talking to a friend and just catching up.
The sweater vest and the little sleeveless tops look the best, I believe, on your body type. Please make more of these for yourself. You deserve it. I agree that one sweater can be made into a t-shirt. I really like the pattern on the Stripy Affair sweater. I agree that the November jacket is less than ideal. I would frog it because whomever takes it will have the same problem. The sweater with the one striped sleeve is a great graphic design. I personally would not wear it with that sleeve shape and would fix that. The sweaters I loved the best were the Semper Slipover, Grace Sweater and the Stripy Affair. The first sweater I ever made shrunk in the wash (100% Germantown Wool) and I couldn't wear it. I gave it to some ladies who make mittens and slippers out of felted knits. I was told that my sweater was made into tall slipper socks. The sweater had an asymmetric button closure and the drapey collar was six inches wide and fell over the front and around the back. The collar formed the top cuffs of the slipper socks. I was so happy.
That’s such an amazing idea 💡
I love your Polaroid jumper! It looks lovely
Thank you!!
I loved this video! And the fact that the first sweater you made turned out so cute is really impressive, I'm jealous
You’re so sweet 🥰🥰🥰
Just yesterday I went through my knits to decide whats going in the good wardrobe or the bad wardrobe (a cupboard things Im not sure about go into and if theyre not worn in a period of time will go) or straight be given away. Its hard with knits cause they took time and effort but now watching you has helped me with my resolve 😊
It’s one of those things I refer to as “simple but not easy”. It was definitely kinda painful but also relieving!
Another fun video. I also want to crochet a garment. I am currently obsessed with crochet….I do feel like I am cheating on my knitting because I resisted the hook for years. Currently crocheting bags and stuffies for my grandkids (which they love) so have given myself permission to enjoy crochet.
That’s amazing! I also feel a little bad when my needles sit on the sidelines for too long.
All the knits look beautiful! I definitely want to make a Habilut sweater for myself. Your voice is so beautiful too by the way!
Thank you and I love the Halibut sweater! I hope you make it :)
You're really good to self-draft things that look so great on you 🥺
And color combinations that work out in the end ✨
I'm in awe
Thanks! I love self drafting. It doesn’t always work out and rarely does on the first try.
This may sound weird, but I really like your music choices in your videos. The one at the end of this one is great.
Not weird at all! Love that someone likes the music as much as I do 🥰
That red perks of being a wallflower top is stunning! Well done!
Thanks! I love it
You totally achieved retro Polaroid 👏🏻
I love the color pallet of that one and need to make another piece with those same colors 🎨
OMG I LOVE the‘mismatched’ sweater with the stripey sleeve 🤍🖤🤎
Beautiful! ❣❣❣❣❣
This was so much fun! Thank you.
You videos feel like a warm cup of tea on a rainy day 😊❤ Such a cosy watch!
Thanks for sharing all your pieces. I love the look and drape of knit garments but I enjoy crochet more. For now at least, maybe someday I'll try knitting again! ❤
🥰🥰🥰
'i hope youre glad you woke up today'
wow that caught me off guard! i did not realise that was something i needed to hear,, thank you so much, and I'm glad you woke up today
I’m glad you woke up today too 🥰 I got my baskets from Amazon years ago and I don’t think the brand is still available ☹️ I am willing to bet there are lots of similar rope baskets!
today wasn't exactly a good day, but i ended it by making progress on my first hand knit sock while catching up on your videos, and for that i am glad i woke up today. i always appreciate the comfort and humor in your videos. thanks for being you!
I’m so glad you woke up today too 😊 you’re so sweet and good luck on that sock 🧦
Love the way you ended your video. I've been going through a bit of a rough patch and it really helped me to feel grateful for managing to get through another day, so thank you. And I love laying in sun patches with my cat too
This is my favorite type of comment to read. I need the reminder that none of us are isolated with these struggles and the best thing I can do when I’m having a good mental health day is spread love to those that aren’t.
I agree, the Grace sweater slays with the cables in the back 👏🏻
I got advice very young that was “if you don’t quite like a top, try it on backwards and see what you think” and I’ve loved that advice!
love your videos, super fun to watch, this is pmy year to make garments for myself, already finished my souffle 💖💖
I’m dying to try the soufflé, it’s so cute!
I have to say, you look fantastic in red! It was so interesting to see all the things that you have knit and what you like or don't like about them.
Thanks! I need more red in my wardrobe, that color is sadly underrepresented in my closet.
I love this! Loving your videos vibe and really enjoy them. Also you’ve inspired me to unravel some of my projects
I love how much support there has been for unraveling. It’s still very new to me and I’m glad it’s not as scary anymore!
@@BreathingYarn you’ve really inspired this by making it less scary. Keep up the good vibes
Lovely knits! 😊 As for the November Jacket, maybe if you lengthened it, it would stay on the shoulders? I have a feeling that in the full length version, the weight of the front would pull the sweater down a bit and keep it in place.
On the other hand, handling that stitch after the garment is finished must be awful
as always, I love our catch-ups! Your style is so relaxing and I genuinely enjoy hearing what you have to say. I wish you had a pattern for your first sweater ever, it is everything!! I've knit a few jumpers, all by following a pattern. I am more creative with my crochet jumpers and don't always rely on a pattern.
I can’t wait to get into crocheting jumpers! I feel like there’s a lot more freedom in crochet tops.
Another stranger complimenting your lilac sweater over here. It's so pretty and really suits you!
This was a really fun video to watch! Would you consider doing a tour of your yarn stash sometime? I'm trying to get into using natural fibers and the craft stores near me are pretty scant, so I'm looking for suggestions.
I think I am due for a yarn stash tour :)
This is such a lovely chatty video, I was responding in my head and making suggesting that you couldn't hear (that's how you know it's a good one, lol!) I love the Halibut Sweater - it's amazing! Yet again I need to learn how to knit (or do I try and convert it to crochet?) There were a couple of your tops that you mentioned being a little short, have you though of adding extra ribbing to making them longer a the bottom, or you know even higher waisted trousers! (I think they're called super high, there the ones, I buy :D) And yes, as a fellow tattoo'd person I agree that showing it off is a must
Yessss 🙌🏻
Do not put that beautiful colourwork sweater away, definitely chilly summer night appropriate !
You’re right, it’s too magnificent to be exiled to storage!
Just came across your account. Love it!!! Also dunno if you’ve heard this before but you look like Renee Rapp!
Okay, so I don’t see it but I’m on vacation now with all of my in-laws and everybody voted that I look like Renee Rapp 😂 so I guess I do. I’ll take it, she’s gorgeous 🤩
THE FISH SWEATER??? OMG ITS SOO BEAUTIFUL
I’m obsessed! I must make a second
About the november jacket... How about using safety pins to discreetly pin it to the shirt underneath or even the bra for extra stability? It really is pretty...
That’s a great idea!
I mean this in the nicest way but the self drafted drops alpaca boucle at 19:08 is giving cute ring-tailed lemur
The highest form of compliment 🥰 that makes me love it so much more!
@@BreathingYarn hehe thats why i loved it too
Omg you're so cool😭🫶
I like your knits and got some ideals. For the cream top that was too short do you have a dress you could wear it over..
I do have a dress I can wear it with, I’m just starting to get into dresses and I love really cropped tops with simple dresses!!
Really liked this video!! Is cotton good for warmer weather?
For sure! Cotton, linen, most plant-based fibers
❤❤❤❤❤
Sky High represents!
Hey, I have a question to your self drafted sewater with the Drops alpaca yarn: What needle sice did you use and what is the gauge? How much did it grow on you? I'm also knitting a sewater in this yarn and make the pattern up myself and I don't know how much it will grow in lenght 😅
I have nothing written down about what needle size I used ☹️ I do remember it grew a fair amount though!
I looooove knitting, i low key became obsessed. Are you making it a business? ❤🎉
Another knitting lover! I am not planning on starting a knitting business since my fingers are already struggling to keep up, but I’ll never say never.
I have one knit sweater I made and it needs to be fixed, sleeves are too wide and too long lol. Also I have some crochet tops I need to frog because they’re summer tops that I stupidly made in acrylic so they’d be too freaking warm lol 🥵 I just havnt worked up the nerve to get those things done
It’s so not easy to motivate to fix stuff you already finished! And acrylic in the summer is a lesson I learned the hard way 😂
Any tips for making a neckline laying as flat as it does on the first (!) sweater you've made? I really enjoy watching your videos, you seem so sweet!
Totally! I string elastic string/cord through the collar and pull tight until it’s a tension I like, then tie it off. It’s a totally hidden way of making sure the collar always lays flat.
@@BreathingYarn Thank you! :) I've seen this technique mentioned but I've never tried
hi!
okay as a minnesota girl i need to know what your favorite yarn shops here are
Harriet & Alice is the only yarn shop in Minnesota I’ve been to and it’s my favorite (not just by default, the ladies are so sweet and I like their selection)
Also, heyyyy! Fellow Minnesota girl! ❄️ 🌲 🦟
How long does your average top take to knit?
I’ve actually never counted (time wise). I’d say 20-100 hours is a good range.
@@BreathingYarnI love this video and you inspired me to frog my first completed sweater and cake it up to remake in a way I actually like! I started knitting 6 months ago and I’ve learned SO much from spending that time ignoring my crochet projects and just trying lots of knitting things. I’m obsessed with knitting my own 100% cotton socks rn. Your Polaroid rainbow-ish top inspired one of my T-sweaters that I wear like weekly. ❤
That’s amazing!!!
I’ll take cat-bathing slurps over disgusting dog slurps any day!
Thank you, yes! 100%
