I have loved hearing about your knitting experience because it sounds like we have had similar pasts in having knit a bit as a kid and then picked it back up again after a long time of not knitting at all. Great overview to your experience and thank you for sharing!! This learning journey is fun, isnt’t it? 🙂
The drawstring top, maybe you don’t have to frog the hole thing if you actually like the top. Maybe pick a column on each side of the front and back and put in a life line. Then cut the seam and redo the mattress seam where your lifeline is for a better fit. I haven’t tried it but in theory I think it could work! 😅 Overall a great year of knits! ❤
My first sweater was also a two strand mohair project like why? Haha Beautiful projects though, loved listening to your experiences and learnings form this last year of knitting ❤
Ahhhhh I love your video style!!! I also made my "what I made in 2023" video as short as possible hahaha. Your first every sweater is absolutely stunning!! Fantastic job!!
WOW I’m in love with all the pieces you made especially the ripple halter!!! This project is perfect for souvenir yarn. Cant wait to see everything you make this year ☺️
Love, love, love you and your podcast! For being such a new knitter, your sweaters are amazing!! I love you color choices too! Can't wait to see more of your beautiful knits in 2024. Hugs from Texas!!
LOVE this video! I've just gotten into knitting. Is there any chance you could post a video or yt short explaining how you modified the ripple halter pattern? i would love to make a top like it but can't quite find the right pattern and i looove how you've modified yours!
oo maybe! But for now I can try to explain it to you here hehe - pretty much in the Ripple Halter pattern you work it top down, starting in the round with the mock neck 2x2 rib. Eventually there’s a section where you bind off part of the “collar” and start to split for the front and back yoke, and that’s when i modified the pattern. At that point I essentially followed the stitch count for a larger size for the front yoke (I think I went up 2 sizes). From there you work increases as called for in the pattern and I just went until I hit the original size I was going for (so for example if I was going for size 2, I cast on the size 2 stitch count, did ribbing until it’s time to bind off the collar, followed the size 4 front/back yoke split, then did increases until I hit the final stitch count called for in size 2). Sorry about the wall of text but I hope that’s at least somewhat helpful!! I also highly recommend the Jessie made pattern, it’s v well written ☺️
I think your red tank could look super cute worn over a long sleeve top! 😀 maybe it would save you from frogging it
my jaw dropped when u said ur first sweater was two strands of mohair lmaoooo u are way more patient than i am ;-; looks amazing too
thank youuu its FULL of mistakes but thankfully the mohair hides most of them 😅
Four years into knitting garments and I still cannot stand knitting only mohair!

You’ve got a very agreeable vibe. 🎈🎈

if you really want to keep the drawstring cami, you can actually shrink superwash merino in the dryer! it should bounce back to its initial size x
ooooh I’ll give this a try! I’ve never put a knit into the dryer so I’m very nervous about the idea but it’s worth a shot!
everything is literally so cute!!! i’m obsessed
⭐⭐HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
so glad i came across your channel! haven't really looked twice on the poppy tee but i think you've sold it to me with yours!!
Good to know that Sandnes Garn Duo is scratchy! I can’t even stand mohair so I don’t I could take in scratchy top!
My first sweater was also a two strand mohair project like why? Haha
Beautiful projects though, loved listening to your experiences and learnings form this last year of knitting ❤
You knit so much in your first year! And you pick colors that suit you so well ☺
