    I have wanted to do a sweater and have waited for the right pattern. I have had the typical avoidance approach as do many. I not only love the way you teach but appreciate so much that you shared everything on the tutorial. It seems many pattern designers do not share the whole instruction in a tutorial out of fear that one will not purchase the pattern. I feel just the opposite. Because you did the detailed tutorial, I did purchase you pattern because I know that I have a place to go for step by step support. Keep up your wonderful approach and thank you for being there for us beginner sweater knitters.

    I just finished this today! I used the yarn cascade 220 in a beautiful purple color. I also used a size US 5 needle for the collar and ribbing as I tend to knit more tightly and that’s how I got gauge. It came out perfectly!! The video tutorials are SO helpful! I just started the Darling Cardigan today as well. I feel so grateful for all the work you put into making great patterns and video tutorials . Thank you!!

      Her sweater pattern is really pretty. I hope one day I understand sweaters the way she does to be able to fit them so well and make simple patterns. For now I will try this with a sport weight alpaca and some kid mohair held together, love the fluffy, cozy fireplace sweater vibe ❤

    First time beginner (making garments) and I'm proud to say that I've purchased the pattern and started knitting this lovely jumper. In time.... Cables. Thank you for making a lovely pattern 😊😊

    Very nice pattern, love it.
    A tip for the Italian Bind off so that you don't have a gap at the end. Before you start bind off, place a removable stitch marker through the first 2 stitches on your left needle. The bind off starts here with 1 knit stitch and then a purl stitch, you do the bind off as usual until you have 2 stitches left on your right needle (a knit stitch and a purl stitch), now you insert the tapestry needle on the right the knit stitch on your right needle and purl through the knit stitch on your removable stitch marker and slip the stitch from your right needle and pull the working thread through. Now insert the tapestry needle purlwise through the purl stitch on your right needle and go in the back through the 2 stitches on your removable stitch marker and go right through the purl stitch of the removable stitch marker and slip the last stitch from your right needle and pull the working thread through while removing the removable stitch marker. Everything fits together nicely and you no longer have a gap. Sew in the working thread. Greetings Inge

    I love this jumper, bought the pattern and now watching and rewatching this tutorial, whilst slowly knitting it. I actually knitted the collar and the first German short row so far.
    I used to knit a lot when I was a teenager in the 70s' and lost a bit of confidence in my ability as I grew older. Thank you for your brilliant instructions, they help me a lot to try and enjoy this great hobby again.
    Thank you Kika and please carry on doing these great patterns and tutorials - you are star. ⭐

      I know this comment is coming a while after yours, but I think its really sweet that you gained some of that confidence back and are/have learned a new pattern with this tutorial! I'm curious on if you finished the sweater, since so much time has passed! I hope it worked out well for you!

    This couldn't be any more timely. I have another sweater (bottom up) that I am just getting to the point that has german short rows. I've been delaying finishing this because I am so confused by these. This was so helpful. Seeing it done in a project and not just a swatch was so helpful. Thank you so much for walking us through this.

    the simply constructed knit top, I've been doing that same loved basic construction for years. fun thing about this style knitting, you can play around with the length of the body and the arms and no sewing. currently working on one with two strands of alpaca and marino blends of yarn, being a lighter weight but fluffy and warm

    @kaytlenroth4620 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    When doing the finish on the neck line, I've always just knit them together right when I start the next step of the sweater and that had always worked great. A much more seamless way.

    I’m gonna buy this pattern because I’ve never made a sweater and I am not the greatest knitter. Well I’m more like a beginner but watching your videos I can do this and I really want to make a sweater. Thank you for doing the tutorial.

    @patriciagrenner8033 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Thank you so much for such wonderful podcasts. I especially like the tutorials you do from beginning to end. I buy the pattern and follow you through. Please continue to do that as it really helps us knitters learn how to knit garments. You can’t imagine how helpful it is to watch you teach us how to create such beautiful things. You have a tutorial on the darling cardigan which I plan to do next. I am working on the cinema sweater now. Congratulations on the baby too! Happy New year. Patricia (from California)

    I just love watching these tutorials Kika, I am not much of a knitter but my mum and my Nan were always knitting something or another, especially when the grandchildren started arriving. I don’t think my daughter ever had a shop bought cardi, my mum made them all.
    You have inspired me to start knitting again, I will start small and go from there….so thank you for inspiring me💕. Your baby bump is really looking amazing, I bet you and Juki. are so excited for little one to arrive ❤️ Thank you so much as usual for sharing with us, I know they take so much time to produce and post these videos so I appreciate that.
    Have a lovely week, enjoy the autumn season

    Thank you so much. I just finished knitting my first sweater thanks to this video and this pattern. Enjoyed it and can see myself knitting it again with some mohair for an even cozier garment. I used Sandnes Peer Gynt DK yarn (559 grams fir medium cropped) and loved it!

  • @mevsv6103
    @mevsv6103 ปีที่แล้ว

    Well, it certainly isn’t exactly the clearest explanation of German short rows, but one does learn the placement of the beginning and ending points of the short rows, I.e., the sleeve stitches are included in the short row sections, so, in my understanding at least one stitch past the raglan increase into the front. This is all really tricky. I will look to other videos for actually making those GSR stitches. I am also thinking I may want to shorten the depth of my armholes. All that said, it is an extremely charming presentation from which I learned several things. Especially about yarn choices & what I do with those fingering weight yarns that I purchases & then avoided due to how long it would take d take me to make a whole sweater out of them. So, thanks for a cheerful uplift on a dark winters day .😊

    Lovely. Thanks for your amazing tutorial. I will watch it fully soon. I wonder if you mentioned how many balls did you use for this project (for both yarns). I didn't get yarn information right. Brand, color and grams. Where did you buy from it? Thanks once again. Ana from Brazil ❤

    @MABrody 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I love,your designs! And I want to make this sweater. However, I was wondering why you so often choose to knit with two or even three yarns at once, instead of just a thicker yarn? If I make this sweater I think I will have to knit with two, as I cannot seem to get the yarn specified in the pattern. But a lot of us find knitting with two yarns at once challenging, so ai was wondering why you do it so often. Thanks for your lovely videos!

    Thank you for us new fitted knitting. I make my first sweater which was a bit too big and a coots tee shirt which was nice. Both I did with tutorials because I am insecure. I love I can buy the pattern and have you hold our hands a bit. Since you are doing a speckled yarn do you feel the need to helical method incase the speckled yarn is different for every skein? I didn’t watch the whole episode yet so not sure you addressed this. Thanks again, Judy
