    I just found you on TH-cam. I think you are so animated and hilarious. I am so impressed with you working without a pattern. I am 77 years old, I can knit and crochet and I have never not used a pattern. I am afraid I would screw it up! But I have been inspired by you to try and create something. You are a delight to watch.

    I just learned to knit after having crocheted for years I think continental knitting is so much easier and quicker for me. The working yarn is held in the same hand as it is when crocheting.

    • @idk-ji5og
      @idk-ji5og 3 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Same same, I'm more used to it and also it just takes less motions. Instead of having to move my right hand so suddenly I can just swiftly move the yarn along with my left hand. I feel like it's more efficient in general and even people who only knit should try it!

    • @emiliatolvanen1179

  • @CloTricots

    It's really great to see you improve from the first video to this one. I love that you aren't scared to try techniques and just go with it. As a pro knitter here are a few things I would try: 1- knit your sleeves in the round now that you have circular needles. It's so much faster and you can try them on as you go. 2- most knitters never tie knots with their ends, just weave the ends in at the end (which you already have to do) and it will close de gap. Hope that helps!

      @heidih3048 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I've been knitting for about 10 years, and have only done sweaters in the round until recently. Upon trying knitting a sweater in pieces and seaming, I have found that the sweater lays and drapes better over the shoulders than with the many patterns by many knitwear designers for in-the-round sweaters--
      With seamed sweaters, I seem to have no more problems with strange fit around shoulders, upper chest and underarms-- no need for alterations to every sweater pattern to get these areas to fit less awkwardly!

  • @karenhill9255
    @karenhill9255 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Jenna! 🙂 That looks really good, I love it. ❤️ Okay, I dont know if someone else has mentioned it but the neck style is called a crew neck. In the UK its commonly called the neckband and the bottom of the sleeves are the cuff. Im really impressed how good it looks and how close the green colour match is on the sleeves.🙂 I have definitely learned something from your tutorial. The invisible stitching is a fab idea 💡 👌
    When you want to tie off on the wrong side, I find it quicker with a crochet hook and less fiddley to do. Your videos always make me smile and cheer me up! Your recent crocheted bikini looked so cool. Well done! Looking forward to seeing more from you. xxx🥰🙂🥰

  • @julianalbruno

  • @absbsbrkdndjrb
    @absbsbrkdndjrb 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    As a knitter, you need to learn how to join in the round. It is so easy and it makes all of the projects so much easier. For starters, you could do this whole project seamless and purl-less (other than the ribbing). When you picked up for the neckband it would just perfectly become a circle, no seaming necessary. It will make your knitting experience so much better. Also, my tip for sleeves is to seam the front to the back, both along the shoulders and the sides, and then pick up for the sleeves (like you did with the neck) and knit them down (of course in the round).
    If any of this confuses you I really recommend following a pattern. There are so many free ones on ravelry that will tell you everything to do to make the process smoother. The sweater is great without a pattern, but honestly, I recommend it. It will save you from experiencing all the ways something can go wrong.
    One note- with intarsia (the process of having large blocks of color, rather than traditional stranded colorwork) will not work well in the round. But other than that, everything is easier in the round.
