Somehow the yellow seems to bring out the cabling more. I absolutely LOVE it! My grandmother used to recycle yarn all the time. She’d take apart old sweaters and turn them into new ones. Thank you for bringing that memory to life for me. 😊
Hi Jente, I hope you're both well xx ❣️❣️ You're Sweater is amazing and beautiful. The colour is perfect ❣️❣️❣️and so you. Happy Spinning and Knitting Fibre Friend 🎡🐑🥰❣️ Take care and stay safe Lots of love and Big Hugs to you both Jen xxxx ❤️❤️🫂🫂🫂🫂🐕
@@MijnWolden Hi Jente, you're very welcome xx ❣️❣️ Thankyou so much for the Heart ♥ Sending Heart ♥ back to you Fibre Friend 🐑🥰 Happy Spinning and Knitting 🎡🐑🥰 Take care and stay safe Lots of love and Big Hugs Jen xxxx ❤️❤️❤️🫂🫂🫂
Thank you for not kink shaming your yarn ❤️ This is gorgeous, I'm glad you got to reuse the yarn for something you really love and use, especially with the time put into spinning it. It was beautiful natural too, but this yellow is so warm and goes well with the textured knit and that skirt! Honestly, the short sleeved version also looked great.
Gorgeous! I've recently dyed some alpaca with onion skins and the colour is a beautiful golden orange. I'm planning to blend it with some Romeny fibre that's currently cooking on my stove and turn them into a sock yarn.
That cable pattern is amazing! I need that in my life! And the finished sweater is so cool, I think the yarn looks better (komt beter tot z'n recht) in the new sweater than it did in the victorian sweater. Also your skirt in the final reveal is really cool too. So sorry to hear you were sick during christmas, I hope you were able to enjoy it a little anyways, and I hope that the 'rona didn't stick around for too long! I actually caught a flu two days before christmas, so I too spent christmas eve knitting at home.
I can recommend Sari's patterns for out-of-the-box cable patterns 😁 Skirt is from our local second hand store, I have a soft spot for plaid Midi skirts ☺️
You can find the pattern in the video description. It is a paid pattern by Sari Nordlund, which you can also find on Ravelry. As I do not own the intellectual property to this sweater, no I cannot post a full tutorial on how to make this. But the pattern is superbly written and I cannot recommend another designer more than Sari Nordlund!
Beautiful! You must be so proud of how this came out! Have you ever tryed dyeing with Red onions? (If they are available in Belgium). I understand they give a rich brown colour.
@@MijnWolden I guess you also don't have any shortage of brown dye sources, as you have access to walnuts and acorns! Yellow is probably more worth the trouble of saving the skins
@@Cate-and-Maddielion no it actually wasn't! the most common used onion in France is a different onion than the most commonly used onion in Belgium, local cultural differences are quite big on geographical small scales here :D
Damn !! that sweater is GORJUSSSSSSSSSSS. *fok yeah* 😂😂 and I love the variations in the colour. How fast do you knit ? It looks like you just whipped that thing of beauty up overnight - I can barely cast on - and never tried cables (well not yet 🙄 maybe now that I am 60 it is time to try ?). You and your sweater are a burst of sunshine 💛💛
"It's finished! [casually tucks dangling yarn tail up sleeve]" Just made me laugh. Deeply relatable. Why weave in the ends when you could wear it instead?
So relatable. I recently walked past a very intricate and colourful crochet project that I finished last year (Sophie by Dedri Uys) and have had hanging over a table at my front door (to show off) and noticed a dangly end hanging out - it was the very last stitch I made 🤦♀ I think I must leave it 😁😁
Amazing! You are slowly but surely motivating me to get over my dislike of knitting and just start again. Please remain as chaotic and YOU as you are.
Chaos is what my brain is made of 😅
Somehow the yellow seems to bring out the cabling more. I absolutely LOVE it!

Your grandmom sounds awesome!
@@MijnWolden - She was!
I screamed at the reveal! This sweater is absolutely stunning! Love love love!
😁😁😁
what a gorgeous transformation! I LOVE the finished color and it shows off the cables so nicely!
Thank you 🥰
I am so glad I'm not the only one that will frog a whole sweater because it didn't turn out the way I liked! Beautiful!
It would be a pity if all that yarn just sat in my closet for years gathering dust...
Onion skin yellow is the best yellow. The cables look amazing!! Excellent work on such a complex project. 🥰
Thank you 🥰
That color is so much fun. It instantly brings a smile.
It does! I feel so happy wearing it 😁
This turned out beautifully! It's great to see you so happy. You have an excellent smile! Hugs
Thank you 😁
The first design was alright but it was frumpy looking on! The new one is fabulous❤
Thank you ☺️
It us an amazing sweater. Looked lovely without sleeves too.
Thank you ☺️
i love Sari's designs, and you picked a beautiful one for your repurposed yarn. looks really good all around.
I had this one in my ravelry queue for ages, it's really well designed!
That color is beautiful!
Thank you 🥰
Gorgeous! You can't go wrong with a rich yellow or textured knits, and even less so with a garment that combines the two! Beautiful work!
My thoughts exactly 😎
Hi Jente, I hope you're both well xx ❣️❣️

I have never wanted to knit a cabled sweater so badly before! I hate cables, but the way those come out looking, ooh yeah! :D
If you can keep your head with it, I can recommend the pattern 😁
Looks stunning well done
Thank you ☺️
You look great in yellow 💛
🥰
Thank you for not kink shaming your yarn ❤️

Thank you 🥰 the yarn was a bit too thick and warm for a shortsleeved version, but it did look great indeed 😁
Amazing 😄 gorgeous colour beautiful jumper. great to show that if at first you don't succeed try again. Happy wearing Katy from NZ 💖
Thank you 🥰
Great color
Thank you 🥰
I love the sweater! The yellow makes me cables pop. BTW, the “I don’t kink shame my fibres” made me laugh out loud! You are very witty!🌸💗🌸
Mission accomplished 😎
Beautiful!
Thank you 🥰
Gorgeous sweater, gorgeous color (🤭yellow is my favorite color)
Thank you 🥰 (you've got great style then 😎)
Gorgeous! I've recently dyed some alpaca with onion skins and the colour is a beautiful golden orange. I'm planning to blend it with some Romeny fibre that's currently cooking on my stove and turn them into a sock yarn.
Sounds wonderfull 🥰
You are such an inspiration! I just finished my first skein of handspun yarn made on my new drop spindle 🤩
Thank you 🥰 and how exciting!!!
Well done for doing that xxx
Thank you ☺️
I LOVE YOU I have brought the Pattern I'm U.K BASED so if you want to try anything hun let me know and I will happily post it xxx
Your sweater turned out beautifully. The cabling and the color reminds me of amber waves of grain. 🌾 🌾 🌾 Well done!
Thank you 🥰 it does have a natural feel to it indeed!
Didn't think I would be first this time... Had a bad day, so I'm looking forward to this video!
Can always trust you on being the first commenter 😁 hope the video gives you at least a bit serotonin
Your knitted hand dyed sweater is gorgeous. The love that color! ❤️
Thank you 🥰
gaaf! ziet er geweldig uit!
Dankje!
Love
❤️
Great job! So inspiring are you ;)
Thank you 🥰
This is so coooool ❤❤❤ it was so exciting to watch. You are so so funny. New learning about the onion skins :)
Thank you 🥰
I also don’t kink shame my yarn :)
😉😉😉
I love this video! I have a sweater I've been wanting to rip out but I haven't' worked up the nerve yet. This video has me feeling ready ;D
Do it! It's worth it 😁
One of your best yet! That color is amazing. And looks so good with the cabling!
I am quite happy with it as well 😁 thank you 🥰
I love this jumper! I wonder if red onion skins give red dye?
Depends on the mordant you use, when using alum they actually give green!
That cable pattern is amazing! I need that in my life! And the finished sweater is so cool, I think the yarn looks better (komt beter tot z'n recht) in the new sweater than it did in the victorian sweater. Also your skirt in the final reveal is really cool too.

@@MijnWolden Oops, I may have just added about half of her patterns to my favourites... Thanks for the reccommendation!

They are available, but we (my father-in-law and I) don't seem to use them enough to save their skins for dyeing 😅
@@MijnWolden I guess you also don't have any shortage of brown dye sources, as you have access to walnuts and acorns! Yellow is probably more worth the trouble of saving the skins
Sorry if asking if you had red onions in Belgium, that was a really silly thing to ask
@@Cate-and-Maddielion no it actually wasn't! the most common used onion in France is a different onion than the most commonly used onion in Belgium, local cultural differences are quite big on geographical small scales here :D

I think the sweater took me less than two weeks, so yeah that's rather fast knitting 🤭
"It's finished! [casually tucks dangling yarn tail up sleeve]"
Just made me laugh. Deeply relatable. Why weave in the ends when you could wear it instead?
I did weave them in eventually, but I already had to wait so long for it to dry and I have limited Patience 😅

My Sophie also still has all her loose ends! 😂
