I am always so unsure about Jenna’s colour choices and I am always proven wrong, the sweater came out perfect!
Same!!! I’m always nervous, but they come together every time so beautifully!!!
How old is Benson?
The knit neckline looks terrific 🎉 I think your sleeves would look better is you had continued the same pattern as your sweater. Just the opinion of an old woman. 😉 now that I see it finished you did GREAT. amazing job 👍🏻
I’m so glad to hear it’s just me 😂god idk how she does it bc it never turns out right for me
Are you? The colours of this are very ugly, and it's very typical of why people dislike homemade craft items as gifts, absolutely no colour theory involved. I'm not trying to be rude, btw, I just find it amazing that you seem to be mistaking the kind of feeling of a project being completed so the item exists, so you just accept it, with the colours and patterns actually looking good. They don't. IMHO.
What I mean is, consider this, when you make an item of clothes by hand, it's actually an incredibly expensive item for what it is, right? Because you have the cost of the materials as well as your labour and other pricing considerations if you were going to sell it. Yet most crochet and knitwear looks cheap AF, because people use large needles to save time and colour combinations that not only do not take colour theory into consideration, but really can't be worn anywhere that an item of clothes of that price range can be worn. I know it's just scraps but this sweater should sell for upwards of $200 USD if it were for sale, no? From the pricing regarding time spent etc, but it looks like an item from a hippy's market stall.
Crochet, knitting and all the other handicrafts are artisan crafts created and done by men so the items could be sold for profit. It's only now that women do this as a hobby that they make any old crap for entertainment or whatever.
my jaw is on the floor on the merging yarn water technique. you opened a whole new world for me
Just be careful because it only works with animal fibres- you’re basically felting the ends together with water and heat/friction. It won’t work with cotton or acrylic yarn. But it’s fantastic for animal fibres! Also known as a Spit Join (because historically, people would just wet the ends of the yarn in their mouth and then rub! 😬)
Same
Saaaaame 😂

@@marabanara thx for passing that info along.
Haha... that's me... "Let's use scrap yarn... but I need new yarn for the excitment." Don't worry Jenna. Makes perfect sense
I love how the different colours she picks go so well together
Jesus loves you all no matter what he is coming back soon Jesus is king my savior my everything ❤❤
"I'm going to use the yarn I have..." proceeds to buy another 11 skanks of yarn lol
the sweater is the coolest tho❤️
Skanks of yarn 😂

I’m still stuck on anyone not wanting a Benson update? He’s literally the cutest thing alive. And the sweater is perfect! ❤
I was also shocked when Jenna said that! I'm always keen for a Benson update! He's an adorable little dude 😊 The sweater is also epic.
Jesus loves you all no matter what he is coming back soon Jesus is king my savior my everything ❤❤
Yes, I’m keen to see Benson ‚s update!
How could we not like Benson updates he's adorable I want more Benson updates and Jack!!!!
I can’t get over Benson, he is literally the cutest ever ❤️ It’s so cool that he may get a sibling!
I can
@@thevorp ok and?
@@mxlancholia as humans sometimes we have to learn to get over things even if they mean a lot to us, like benson to genevieve
@@thevorp its not that deep..

It’s so much fun watching your adventures in crocheting. My daughter,14, taught herself how to crochet last month and she’s made a beanie, purse, sweater that’s in progress, and granny square skirt, and she’s working on the top.
Thanks for the inspiration!
That’s fantastic! So glad you decided to go with the neck shaping and knit ribbing, I think that really gave it that lovely “finished” look. I’m completely inspired to do one up for myself!
Jesus loves you all no matter what he is coming back soon Jesus is king my savior my everything ❤❤
Your crafting is super chaotic and inspiring. I abandon a lot of projects because I choose to follow patterns that are way too ambitious all the time. Now all I wanna do is make a sweater with scrap yarn modelled on my favorite hoodie. Genius.
I definitely get so into knitting or crocheting a project that I either knowingly or unknowingly put off everything else. it's so relatable when you mentioned that

@@sophia23346 your religious spam is hella annoying
@@snowflake09161 just trying to spread the word God will welcome u if u ever want to turn to him God is real they have found pieces of Noah’s ark and how could we be here without someone to create us that is all God and how could something so complex like humans and the universe that if one thing was off we would die be made from bacteria or rocks or evolution etc we just couldn’t God made us and everything 💗
excuse me, there are people who DON'T want Benson updates? Absolutely unacceptable. BENSON ❤
Your trick at 3:45 rocked my world. I did not know you could join yarn that way!!!!!!
I just appreciate your happy-go-lucky personality. Not afraid to try whatever is your fancy and everything is perfect! At 66, I couldn’t get away with such zany outfits…my kids would think my brain exploded. But I get your heart and love it!
I'm 62 and would wear that jumper, why not? Just because you rech a certain age does not mean you have to give up your quirkiness.
your channel is such crochet inspo. I've always knitted until I started watching you, and you got me to pick up my "for fixing runs in my knitting" crochet hooks to actually crochet, and I've been obsessed. I love watching you go to the yarn store, and wind cakes, pick colors and everything else, because that's been ME the past month.
10/10 love you girl
Jesus loves you all no matter what he is coming back soon Jesus is king my savior my everything ❤❤
Love the sweater! You really are so bold in your choice of projects. It takes a lot of confidence to do that and do it so well.
Jesus loves you all no matter what he is coming back soon Jesus is king my savior my everything ❤❤
we need a part two! benson needs a matching one! love you jenna!
Love to see it
Jesus loves you all no matter what he is coming back soon Jesus is king my savior my everything ❤❤
Was binge watching your knitting and crochet videos the last days, because I started crocheting again. So THIS is PERFECT
Same! I’m working on a scarf for my mum I’ve had the yarn for like a year that she picked and I’m finally making it lol
What are you working on?
@@skyelorspacex wow so cool! I'm working on a scarf for myself and a headband for my mother in law for christmas! But want to try a sweater or cardigan so bad now lol
Jesus loves you all no matter what he is coming back soon Jesus is king my savior my everything ❤❤
The colors are so random but go together soo well!! Good job!
Jesus loves you all no matter what he is coming back soon Jesus is king my savior my everything ❤❤
@@sophia23346 I'm pagan, sorry
Your colors are all jewel tones. Perfect for a spring complexion like yours! Thank you for explaining the trick of joining the ends together with water
It also looks amazing as a blanket with the colour of your couch!. And the collar it's beautiful!.
The knit collar really is elite! Such a great choice!
I have never seen the method you use to join yarn!!! And I have been crocheting for a very long time!!! Thanks for showing it!!!
I went to Urban Yarn for the first time yesterday and fortunately/ unfortunately only had 5 mins to get the yarns I needed cause I could easily spend all of my time and money in there, such a beautiful shop! And your sweater turned out beautifully, very inspiring!
Jesus loves you all no matter what he is coming back soon Jesus is king my savior my everything ❤❤
I love it! Good luck with the new pup. Hope Benson sees it as a pal.
Benson's, "Okay, Mom" expressions whenever you feature him make me laugh.
OMG you made me laugh out loud SOOO many times. You and I are kindred spirits in regard to HOW we go about our projects! Love the sweater!!
This video was so good mmm, and a beautiful sweater to top it off. I don’t know why, but the editing gave me a different vibe than usual and I’m loving it! Great music choices ❤️
Agreed, I love it!
Jesus loves you all no matter what he is coming back soon Jesus is king my savior my everything ❤❤
You outside in your deck is a whole mood, it looks so relaxing, wishing I could do the same😊
I did this same thing last year - used scraps - it turned out great! A great scrap-buster project.
I love hearing about sweet Benson! It’s nice that he’s always by your side. And the sweater is nice too!
Benson is just the sweetest ever! I actually fell in love with him
Great job! I don’t know how you always pull your projects together and have them look so good!! 😁😍🩷
I am a new subscriber I seen the sweater and fell in love with it. Got to make it for myself. I have never seen though water technique of joining yarn I will definitely be trying that I hate weaving in ends. I have been a crocheter for over 40 years
You definitely showed me a new trick. Thank you for your lovely tutorial
you inspire me, im making my first crochet sweater right now. Started yesterday and going great ^^
AHHH can't to see it!
Jesus loves you all no matter what he is coming back soon Jesus is king my savior my everything ❤❤
I just started my first scrap sweater, i have invested like 10 hours and i have just goten 17 cm from the chest. You do it so quickly, i one day want to crochet as fast and as pretty as you 🥰
You are the best at free style creativity. You encouraged me to go for it! No pattern. Luv it!
I love the body. At first I was so iffy about the first sleeve. But once put together with the second one, I love the whole sweater. I love odds and ends projects!
Wednesdays are my favorite days when i get to see what new project you are working on! :)
the way you joined two bits of yarn!! where has this been all my life you wizard person you!!!!
Im like 2 million years old and have crocheted since childhood and never never would i have thought water could make a difference in my crochet, yes you said water im like what and ill be if you didnt well bless your lilcrochet loving heart freakn so cool thanks kiddo.xo
Thanks so much for showing the color change. I've never seen it done like that and I LOVE it.
I'm watching from the Uk just now, March 2023. I simply love it. Joining the wool technique is fantastic....I'll love you forever! I'm going to try something like this Thank you xx
currently watching this while crochet snowflake ornaments! I just made $70 in crochet snowflake orders!! I just recently found your channel and I’ve been binging it ever since!! I didn’t even realize that this was a new video lol
Jesus loves you all no matter what he is coming back soon Jesus is king my savior my everything ❤❤
i literally love just sitting and crocheting while watching jennas videos. like its literally the most perfect afternoon for me
I hope to see more knit+crochet pieces! I loved the combination of techniques
Jesus loves you all no matter what he is coming back soon Jesus is king my savior my everything ❤❤
So glad to see you got a better hook, Clover is my favorite brand😍
I love your creative process. I kept imagining knit sleeves in black on Your gorgeous creation!
I just came across your channel but I got to say you are probably my fav crochet youtuber/ lifestyle vlogger. watching your videos and crocheting along makes me feel like I can do anything. thank you for your content 🫶❤️ I also love your water joining technique I have never heard of it before!!
I was so iffy about the first Sleeve and then she added to second sleeve and it's perfection! Way to go girl
The more time I spend watching you, the more I like you! Love your style and the freedom shining through the things you make! You bring happy thoughts to light for me, thank you for this. Wish you success and happiness ❤
I have to thank you for introducing me to Sentro, I have bought the mini version and made the mittens for everybody around. I just love it. Big fan of your color combinations.
I am just getting around to watching this and I have Tom Daley's book on my coffee table right now!! I love the way you wing it and make crochet look so doable for anyone who is interested. No need for complicated patterns.
Oh how I enjoy you and your little shimmies and weirdness. You're the best! Love the sweater.
Wow! And finally crochet! Those are the video’s i love the most! And benson is sooo cute!!❤❤
A work of art! You are so brave and it paid off.
i have been crocheting for about 5 months now and i just found out about that water method to combine the yarn together thatnks a lot and you are so underated
Love the neck line. Great choice with knitting it!
i have never seen that water colour joining method in my life.... i will 100% be using that omg
excited to see the results, im also crocheting a cardigan while watching this video so it's perfect. love u and ur vids stay safe💕
Hi Jenna! Ive been struggling with crochet and you've helped me it!
I'd like to say thank you for helping me, I hope you have a great day/night :]
A little hack for you: I saw you weaving in a ton of ends at your beanie project and now you took the extra step to join the ends with water (which makes for a less stabile fabric!). Just do a Color change as usual and crochet over both yarn ends as you continue. You will have no ends to weave in except the very last!
Jesus loves you all no matter what he is coming back soon Jesus is king my savior my everything ❤❤
Jenna, loving your channel! The yarn joining trick was fantastic! This sweater is so fun! It is perffffff! I am inspired as my hands are always busy ….I have been working on a blanket for ages using scrap yarn… it just keeps getting bigger and bigger! I , too, am a bit of a hoarder! Just saw a more current vid - you packing for a move! Wishing you a happy one! You rock!
I’m going to try this even though I’m new to crochet. It’s lovely. Love Benson and all of his updates. New subscriber.
LOVE this!! I recently saw this video and bought needles and wool yesterday to do my own. I never knitted before but I'm convinced I can do it. the delulu lmao but it's looking good so far. thanks for the inspo!
Hello Miss Jenna !
TH-cam just introduced me to your channel and wow !
Your so personal and so much fun to watch!
I enjoy listening your thought process.
New friend from Manitoba 🇨🇦
I love that this weeks video is a scrap yarn sweater!!! I’m working on a treble crochet scrap sweater😍😍😍 I’m obsessed with the color mix on the body portion of your sweater the most!!
Wonderful designer!!! Awesome sweater. Love it. Visiting you in the morning is a treat. Ana in Mo. 2/14/23 AD.
I just saw one of your videos (the crochet for 24 hours) and I already subscribed and binge watching all you videos. In a healthy way 🤗
Same!!!
Your channel is what I watch when I crochet.. I wanna learn how to knit but I don't have needles so christmas maybe
it’s sooo cute, I also think it would look super cute with cuffed sleeves and a ribbed layer on the bottom to match the neckline :)
Love the all occasion sweater, Benson is perfect hope he isn’t jealous of the new dog. I hope to bid at your auction.
I just want to say that I love your videos, you are very sweet and it is nice and fun to listen to you. I love crocheting, and just now I am starting my journey into sewing, I got a sewing machine for Christmas and I am beginning with projects and I will try making some stuff that you have showed. I love them. I will send you pictures when I have done something. Love from Sweden!
I think the colors reflect
Jenny's personality. Look at the colors in the room.
Wow I was in shock when I saw that you were married & to see your husband. That is wonderful. Love your new sweater. I could never do that. I need a pattern. I didn't know that you could do crochet & knitting on the same piece. Love it.
I'd love to see some gift knits, or gift knit ideas
please!!!!!! you always kill it, i'm obsessed with this.
How have I never heard of the water method for joining yarns?! Thank you for including this in the video Jenna!
Jesus loves you all no matter what he is coming back soon Jesus is king my savior my everything ❤❤❤
I loooooove it! It turned out so fun!! 💕
Amazing on the sweater! I'm so impressed and wish I could do that, too!! Yes, I have forgotten about the world when I'm crocheting or knitting, LOL. You are so fun and I love your cozy patio setting. love,hugs,prayers.
"Don't you hate it when you're supposed to be doing something but you're so into you're crochet..." Literally the reason I am late to EVERYTHING!
You are just flat out ADORABLE!! I’m glad I stumbled upon you…. Thanx for your humor…..❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😅😅
I am also making a scrap yarn crochet sweater in a few days, with a very different color pattern and my actual scrap yarn, and we both did purple and green sleeves! I think that's hilarious. You inspired this sweater, too!
loved how this turned out! i actually loved it as a vest too!! that could be perf for the springtime. would love to see some simple projects to give as gifts this year 🫶🏼
oooh! I really like the look of the knit ribbing on the sweater.
wow, that is the most beautiful sweater!! loveit, well done!
had a bunch of amazon credits and picked this up via kindle for $3.99! TY for mentioning this! WOO HOO...i kinda hope it might help me learn to crochet since I am a big time knitter! U really help me with that too! TY for being you! U ROCK!
Stunning job!❤
Best price yet Jenna!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also I think you should totally keep up the Benson updates
Love it! - I use leftover yarns, too - for socks (made tons of them). But I’m more into symmetry, so I divide each yarn variant into half first.
I always love Bentsen updates.
I am so inspired to make a scrap yarn sweater, and your water-join trick made me a subscriber. I've never seen that before!! No lie though, your 'high-five' made me glad I subscribed, you're hilarious. 😁
I know! I just learned to knit and I am completely obsessed! Continental style knitting is definitely for crocheters, and for anyone who has not tried it, Russian purl is the easiest, fastest way to get that pesky purl done and over with.
Well, that, and knitting ither flat, or circular, on circular needles. That way you never ever have to do a pesky purl, much less and easy Russian one ( forget Norwegian Purl; you can mess up your tension with all that wriggling and twisting, ya might just as well do a regular Continental pur - but English purl is more naturally/ergonomically done that but I just cannot hold my yarn in my right hand period).
By the way, If you ever run into a pattern where you have to do 46 million purls back across a great expanse [ sz 4X TALL sweater or throw/blanket ] , learn "Backward Knit[ting] Stitch". It is not as hard as you may be imagining it to be. It is a very simple, direct, very knitstitch-like way back across the face of your fabric without ever having to turn your work over - which is why you have to do a purl in the first place - because it is the exact opposite of a knit stitch.
Now, It's not exactly a purl, but the other side looks like knit when you're done. There are some designs 'n patterns that simply need a purl, tho. Backward knitting does not replace the purl for those certain stitch designs that build upon one another, but it will get you across great expanses of simple stitching in no time flat.
Benson is the calmest dog I’ve ever seen. ❤
That's a very nice sweater, it looks so comfy. I kind'a want to learn how to crochet & knit so i can make nice projects too. You're very good with your color combinations by the way. Love it.😊
I have never seen the water trick! So cool!
Hi Jenna hope you doing great love the work its absolutely stunning. I've been watching you for 1 year officially and I love love love your pieces. I would be so so grateful if you did a scrap yarn sweater pattern every scrap yarn sweater you do looks so professional and effortlessly stunning. Thank you
Nice tip about how to easily color change! I have knitted/ crocheted for years and have never heard of the water technique! Guess I have had my head in the sand 😂😂😂
Thanks for showing me how to join to yarn colors. I’m going to go crochet all my scraps into a sweater!!
