    Hi Sarah. Loved your repairs and showing how you approached them. Well done for all of them. End results excellent. Loved the straightening out of noodle yarn process - thanks. the hanging was especially great 🤩. Your April cardigan looks devine on you! Suits you! Great job there. Thanks for showing us to slow down and repair our not- so -perfect FO's. SO rewarding. Yep, what a good mate you are to Paige - she will LOVE her "new" yarn!! Good luck with your exam(s) Paige. 🥰 thanks Sarah🥰

    I love this video. We put so much time and effort into our knits, I love that you took it to another level. I recently ripped the entire hood of a sweater I knit 5 years ago and never wear, then continued with shortening the sleeves a bit. It was so time consuming and difficult, but it’s now my favorite piece to wear !

    Ooh i love this video! It's so satisfying, and you are a GREAT friend for doing that for Paige! When I was younger I'd just dump my fails on my grandma hopelessly and she would tut tut tsk tsk while fixing my problems. These days I tend to put them in a bag and tuck them away...making a day/week for surgery and fixes is a great idea, very satisfying to watch (still not convinced i would enjoy it myself, but feeling more inspired).
    It KILLED me when your button band was narrower after repair. I feel your pain 🫣 I would have thrown that thing in the bin 🤣

    @Enig_Mata 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I enjoyed this video - you are so kind to surprise Paige with her frogged cardigan and yarn ready to go. I laughed so hard when I saw the narrower band of the April cardigan, but it was definitely a good experience as you were able to identify what needed to be fixed. Also, this experience of fixing your knits is so handy in the future.
    Over the past few days, I've been mulling over what my next project will be. I wanted something different but could not decide on the project or the yarn. Then I realized your April cardigan was the perfect color - I have Woolyknit in Harvest and Drops in curry and this will make a beautiful garment. I just need to decide on the October sweater or a cardigan.
    I hope you make this video into a series.

    This was so great to watch. Time well spent in making things that you’re not going to get full use of into gorgeous finished FOs. Having just spent days knitting my first double knitted button band, I certainly felt your pain in having to rip out and reknit the band in full again. I love that you can put it all into perspective and value the process and appreciate how much you’ve learned. It will make you a much more skilled knitter as you move on to new projects. Frogging Paige’s jumper and re-skeining the yarn is such a lovely BFF thing to do. I think she’ll be delighted. You’re a gem 🥰

  • @Kristelle396
    @Kristelle396 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I agree with others that this is a shot of inspiration to get back to some WIPs that can't be faced because there's something 'wrong'. I made the Ariana cardigan (crocheted squares, so can't be frogged) and it doesn't fit me. I've also made the knitted bands too tight. I can redo the ribbing and I will gift the cardigan. I have another project with colourwork in only one contrast colour around the bottom third of the body. I naively thought that I could just catch the yarn for long stretches, and it would all be okay. It's not. I didn't know about the ladderback jacquard technique when I tackled it, and the pattern didn't mention this as an option. I am yet to decide whether I will just rip that bit back and make it a plain cardigan or if I will rip it back and teach myself the method required. Your episode has made me think that this would be the best option to promote learning. Witnessing your success has given me the right amount of encouragement. Lovely seeing you pop up.

    I just rewatched this because I was looking for the video you linked for grafting a sock cuff (I have a floppy sock cuff situation and it's driving me nuts but also I cbb grafting...maybe...). I came across a video by "Knitting with Suzanne Bryan" - th-cam.com/video/AfU-6QHNlDw/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=KnittingwithSuzanneBryan about calculating the pick up rate for button bands. Sounds like a total pain but I guess it's like the pre-knitting swatching situation isn't it - if you just YOLO it and get it right then it's a win, and when you have to reknit 2.5 times (or more, or frog the entire garment in frustration) then it's worth taking the time.
