I feel you! I've been knitting my own twist of the JW Anderson 'Harry styles' cardigain since October and just finished the final square yesterday. Still about a months work left in it😅
Same here it has been 2-3 months, I’m knitting apart then attaching it together. Finished the arms in 4 days, still on the back piece %85 done & I think it might be too big🤦🏻♀️
My crochet experience- years ago when my kids were small I asked my aunt to show me how to crochet. Figured I could work on a Granny Square blanket while we were house during the winter. I did fine with the squares but I didn’t know how to join them. My answer, I just kept going around to make one huge square. I even ran a cable stitch up the sides so I had a rectangle instead of a square. We used that blanket for years. It was big enough for a queen bed
First, I love that you dyed your own yarn. As a dyer I love it when makers go for it and love it. Next, I was taught to create bobbins when knitting intarsia. It keeps everything from getting tangled.
Your videos taught me that it’s okay to make mistakes and unravel (almost or everything) and start again but not give up than continue making mistakes and regretting it after everything is finished.
Hi!!! I have a really cool tip when working intarsia. So when you do a knit row, let the yarn tangle on itself, then when you're going to do a purl row rotate it clockwise and do the purl row as usual, letting the yarn tangle. To do the next knit row, rotate it counter-clockwise and the yarn is magically untangled by itself👌🏼👍🏼😁
I love your content! Thank you for sharing your mistakes and process. It helps me realize we are all just learning as we go and to push myself in my projects more.
Hello Jenna Phipps, I liked your video here because you are in your element. The sweater looks perfected even though you had to take it out so many times. I think you did a really Good Job. Congratulations on another of your new sweater projects. I give it 2 :-); :-), for doing it. Just Love it. Sincerely, Elsa R. Age: 61 - (From out in California). Bye for now. Thanks for having Benson there with you. (I hope I got his name right, here). Bye.
I'm halfway through that course! I realized that literally all the sweaters/vests/hats that I'm in love with have all been by Laura Delgaard 😍 I absolutely love her designing
Your videos are so inspiring! I used to feel like it was impossible to finish my projects, then I see you bust out a whole sweater in less than a week just because you wanted to get it done, even with fixing mistakes, and it gives me the encouragement to do the same. :) I also love your knitting videos because I do not knit myself (too frustrating for me) so I get to live vicariously through your experience without being stressed!
Yeah that color work seems sooo hard. It’s like magic to me. I can’t get it unless I’m taught in person, over and over and you know what? Over again. It’s a beautiful job. Congratulations young’un ❤️
Oh Jenna, the sweater is stunning! I have been looking at sweater patterns to crochet, and I am going for it. I have tried knitting, but not even close to knitting anything. So crochet cardigan here I come!
I just got a LOMI! It’s so great 😊 Your videos make me want to start knitting before finishing my embroidery projects. Also, your videos are edited SO well to my inexperienced eyes, love it. 🙌🏼
I’m so grateful I stumbled across your channel a little over a week ago. I am obsessed!! I have been sick in bed with Covid for the last week and I have binged all your videos. They’ve brought me so much joy and helped me to still feel creative. I’m so excited for my first trip back to the thrift store when I’m better. Thanks for your videos, they’re fantastic.
this autoplayed after the one where you made your first no pattern striped sweater with the size 10 prym needles. when you whipped out the interchangeable set, i got whiplash 😂
You did a great job! I’m still working on a multi striped cardigan I started back in the Fall. 😊 at one point I made the risky decision to basically cut each piece in half so that I could undo a choice I made. While I was at it I added some rows because I decided I wanted it longer and then reattached the two halves using the Kitchener stitch. Thank goodness for UA-cam tutorials! I mean, it worked but it’s better to get it right the first time. 🤣
I found one of your knitting videos as my nan has I just taught me to knit jerseys for my newborn. IM ADDICTED. I have been binge watching your videos while knitting 😂 such good content lol
First! Love you Jenna xx you inspire me to make my own stuff with my sewing machine and I love your style and videos! Your amazing and so inspirational and you make my day xx
Applause for the efforts. Seems, she has the environment/home, tools, skills/abilities, ability to learn, and the get it done factor. 👏 The sweater looks very (GBean or Landsend) if the comparison were to connect retail. Unclear what her future goals are in that sense, she might be able to make sweaters in bulk or quantity though for a retail clothing company or her own clothes, ? ‘The right fit’
Beautiful!! I love how honest you are with mistakes! I don't think there has been a single project that I've done without having to pull things out and try again. I think it's just part of the process of trying something new and that's a-okay! Thank you for normalizing this process!
When I'm knitting something new, or something I'm not sure on. I add lifelines to made it easier to rip back my work. I always give the lifelines alot of slack so they don't dent my work
What a perfect sweater👏🏼🤍 Last month wanted to knit a sweater for myself, started with the same colour of green you have used, then saw this sweater on the other video wanted to make the same. So I buyed 2 colours instead of 4 to start with the arms. The spark of hope is down needed 4-5 days without knitting back on it but without any plan lets go😅😂 might be making a mistake for my first sweater🙈
If it makes you feel better, I managed to make it though fifteen 200 stitch rows plus a tubular cast on before noticing I had one 3mm needle and one 3.25mm needle... Lots of frogging that day.
This sweater is gorgeous! You did a beautiful job. I crochet but I don't know how to knit. This sweater makes me want to learn. Would you do a video on how to dye yarn? What color and brand of dye did you use? The colors are so pretty. I love your relaxed style of videos. They are really fun to watch. Kisses to Benson. 💋💋💋
yayy another video. I just started knitting after watching some of your videos . I am really trying to be patient ( and not get distracted) that after 2/3 days U have not got super far. like I say tho myself I am gonna knit the whole day but end up only a few hours (2-3 hours) 😐😮💨
Love watching this. I'm not the only one making mistakes I see. I got this sweather I have been going on for 3-4 years now, wich is a red sparkly sweater perfect for christmas. Every november I start on it again, and get "finnished" a few days before christmas, then try it on... And then I see all the mistakes I've made, and need to unravel it. Did I mention that its mohair in it? :)
This sweater is beautiful Jenna 😍 Also I felt so bad for you when you were making the mistakes. It can become so disheartening when you keep making mistakes and keep having to unpick everything 😩 I'm currently making a really simple blanket but a few times I've not been paying attention and have messed it up 🙄 so annoying. You really did get a beautiful result though and the colours of the yarn you died are 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
I have three thoughts: I'd love to see you create more content about dyeing yarn. I always find it so satisfying. The difference in the arms and body of your sweater is because usually we all have different gauges when knitting in the round vs back and forth. Sone sweater patterns will recommend knitting a swatch in the round and adjusting the needle size if necessary. I love how open you are about your period. The first time I heard you mention it, I thought, "Weird, why is she talking about that?" I dug deeper to figure out why I had that reaction and I think it's because of the societal taboo. Now I think it's great that you are striving to normalize talking about your body!
Hey Jenna!! I’m a new knitter and don’t know what that thing you were knitting with was, the thingy that had a wire or something, could someone explain?😅
you went from not having ever knit before to hand-dyeing your own yarn in like 1 year!!! that's impressive! also really shows how dangerous fiber arts can be. if you ever get the urge to start spinning yarn, that's the devil speaking
I’m watching a thriller where the heroine overcomes many obstacles but saves the day! That neckline had me worried, but it looked great when it was finished! 🦸🏼♀️ I really love my Ginger interchangeable set. It’s very versatile, as the tips seem to handle both smooth and stickier yarns quite well. I’m always misplacing my key, but if I use a piece of rubber mesh shelf liner as a gripper, I can tighten them without the key.
Can you please show how you weave in ends please I always have trouble with it .love you jumper it’s awesome 😘❤️
Рік тому
You use a tapestry needle, pull the strand into the hole of the tapestry needle, then it's called "weaving in the ends", basically hiding the strands inside the knit, and then do a knot at the end to secure, and cut the excess of yarn
got into this course because of you and really look forward to try it out in autum! How did you decide how much yarn you need and what yarncount/thickness you use? And why do we use bothe yarn ends and not just a single strang?
This makes me kinda sad bc I’ve spent like a MONTH making my crochet sweater and you finished urs in like 5d…… But this is absolutely beautiful so congratulations!
Any other courses you want me to try?
Try the Micah Clasper-Torch punch needle course
You should post More thrift with me’s
Chunky sweater
Make a black vest sorry their is no course but yeah make one pleas :)
Could you show how you dyed your harn?
i started creative projects again while at home with a burnout and depression, because of your videos. it's been helping a lot! thank you ❤
I hope you will feel better soon! Sending good energy to u!
❤️
❤️❤️❤️ That makes my day!!!!!! Creating and designing has saved me with my mental health and really fulfils me like nothing else.
Thats literally whats happening to me right now!
Girl, I've been working on my first sweater for 7 months 😂 you knit extremely quickly.
I feel you! I've been knitting my own twist of the JW Anderson 'Harry styles' cardigain since October and just finished the final square yesterday. Still about a months work left in it😅
I think it’s just cuz she does it from morning to night to do it in a few days instead of just doing a couple hours here and there
Oof
Same, this sweater is full of tears 🤣🤣
Same here it has been 2-3 months, I’m knitting apart then attaching it together. Finished the arms in 4 days, still on the back piece %85 done & I think it might be too big🤦🏻♀️
This is a very accurate portrayal of knitting with all of the undoing and sewing in the danglers. Awesome jumper at the end!

yarn soup (I just had to)
I've been binging your video because they give me so much motivation to crochet! You're awesome ✨
I love how every time you set yourself to a challenge you complete it even if it isn’t perfect💗
Yeah that color work seems sooo hard. It’s like magic to me. I can’t get it unless I’m taught in person, over and over and you know what? Over again. It’s a beautiful job. Congratulations young’un ❤️
It’s amazing how your knitting skills have improved!
I feel your pain when you had too take about the first panel 😩 I'm a crocheter, and I understand that pain completely! Love your channel btw!! ❤
That sweater is so cute! It looks so cozy 🥰
This might be one of the most beautiful handmade sweaters I’ve ever seen I NEED to make something like this
Love the design! Awesome cozy sweater
Oh Jenna, the sweater is stunning! I have been looking at sweater patterns to crochet, and I am going for it. I have tried knitting, but not even close to knitting anything. So crochet cardigan here I come!
Would love to see a yarn dying video!!!

Esti super simpatică și talentată! Felicitări din Cluj-România!
this autoplayed after the one where you made your first no pattern striped sweater with the size 10 prym needles. when you whipped out the interchangeable set, i got whiplash 😂
Omg I don't knit but now I want to learn how just so I can make this sweater😍
You did a great job! I’m still working on a multi striped cardigan I started back in the Fall. 😊 at one point I made the risky decision to basically cut each piece in half so that I could undo a choice I made. While I was at it I added some rows because I decided I wanted it longer and then reattached the two halves using the Kitchener stitch. Thank goodness for UA-cam tutorials! I mean, it worked but it’s better to get it right the first time. 🤣
I did that too but on a giant color work fingering weight cardigan. Scariest experience of my life!
I found one of your knitting videos as my nan has I just taught me to knit jerseys for my newborn. IM ADDICTED. I have been binge watching your videos while knitting 😂 such good content lol
Can you please do a tutorial on how to knit a sweater? I've been struggling to find a free, easy to follow patern... Love the video!
Wool & the Gang Dreamin' Sweater is beginners appropriate, knitted flat in garter stitch!
@ thank you!
Handmade by Florence has a great top down sweater pattern for free with a video too. It’s called the step by step sweater
First! Love you Jenna xx you inspire me to make my own stuff with my sewing machine and I love your style and videos! Your amazing and so inspirational and you make my day xx
Watching this video while knitting a sweater of my own, wow what a brilliant result Jenna!
Applause for the efforts. Seems, she has the environment/home, tools, skills/abilities, ability to learn, and the get it done factor. 👏 The sweater looks very (GBean or Landsend) if the comparison were to connect retail. Unclear what her future goals are in that sense, she might be able to make sweaters in bulk or quantity though for a retail clothing company or her own clothes, ? ‘The right fit’

You did it super quick. Looks great🥰🥰
Please do more thrift videos!! They were the highlight of my week😭
What a perfect sweater👏🏼🤍 Last month wanted to knit a sweater for myself, started with the same colour of green you have used, then saw this sweater on the other video wanted to make the same.

Hi Jenna! You are sooooo amazing and one of the few reasons I started crocheting! Your content is fun and so creative! 💖
This sweater is gorgeous! You did a beautiful job. I crochet but I don't know how to knit. This sweater makes me want to learn. Would you do a video on how to dye yarn? What color and brand of dye did you use? The colors are so pretty. I love your relaxed style of videos. They are really fun to watch. Kisses to Benson. 💋💋💋
That is a beautiful sweater!! Well done.
Jenna, you just continue to impress me! The sweater looks Fab-u-Lous !!! Can't wait to see those pants!
Omg your getting beter and beter every day love your vids
This sweater is absolutely stunning!
I
Great sweater. I always enjoy watching your knitting explorations, because you are goofy and talented: a good combo.
Bensen is melting my heart!!!! So cute :)
I laughed so hard when you said “i have a back piece and a front piece and no arms” with that expression🤣🤣🤣
Your room decor is so cute! I love it.
Omg love the sweater! Congrats 🥳
I recommend trying stranded color work! I think it's easier than intarsia.
i love how creative you are ❤
Just got 40% off the blush sister case. Thank you!
yayy another video. I just started knitting after watching some of your videos . I am really trying to be patient ( and not get distracted) that after 2/3 days U have not got super far. like I say tho myself I am gonna knit the whole day but end up only a few hours (2-3 hours) 😐😮💨
Do you have a video about how you dyeing the yarn? If no, which yarn you took and how complicated was the dyeing process?

Did I mention that its mohair in it? :)
Ahh, I thought that you use the knitting machine again. Would that be very difficult with the intarsia?
This sweater is beautiful Jenna 😍 Also I felt so bad for you when you were making the mistakes. It can become so disheartening when you keep making mistakes and keep having to unpick everything 😩 I'm currently making a really simple blanket but a few times I've not been paying attention and have messed it up 🙄 so annoying. You really did get a beautiful result though and the colours of the yarn you died are 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
You were the person that convinced me to go for it and make my own jumper
I have three thoughts:
I'd love to see you create more content about dyeing yarn. I always find it so satisfying.

Love the sweater but I love Benson even more❤❤❤
howd you dye your yarn? i would love to see your process. this is cute sweater :)
Great job! Loved the colors you made, used.
Looks great Jenna. You are so talented. 🥰. Have not knitted in ages kind of scary to try. Makes me think about giving it a go. 🤪
Melhor ainda é aquele look que mostra o retratonho
Hey Jenna!! I’m a new knitter and don’t know what that thing you were knitting with was, the thingy that had a wire or something, could someone explain?😅
you went from not having ever knit before to hand-dyeing your own yarn in like 1 year!!! that's impressive! also really shows how dangerous fiber arts can be. if you ever get the urge to start spinning yarn, that's the devil speaking
It turned out really good, well done 🦄
crocheting my first sweater while watching this 💕
You spread happiness always 🥰
Luv your sweater, it's adorable, always enjoy ur videos. Luv to you & your precious fur baby.🙂🙋♀️💕
Obsessed with this sweater!!!
Get long needles and learn to knit in the round so like if you did a line of chain and slip stitched in the 1st chain
I’m watching a thriller where the heroine overcomes many obstacles but saves the day! That neckline had me worried, but it looked great when it was finished! 🦸🏼♀️ I really love my Ginger interchangeable set.

Luv it! Congrats.
I just clicked on the yarn link and the first photo review was of this sweater😅😅😅
Awesome! It's just like tapestry crochet!
Omg. Thanks for the idea!
Never judge a sweater by how it looks on top of another! 😉
I have never been able to figure out the magic loop
The intro was super cute! Also you dare devil white pants on period is a huge risk. I would never do that.
Where did you find the cool peg board (where you have all your sewing notions and such)?
I had to completely take apart a pair of pants I was sewing that were like 90 percent done the other day if that makes you feel any better haha.
Yes, really nice sweater. And, you did it!
Jenna, why can't you post a tutorial for knitting? I absolutely can't find an exact tutorial for knitting. Please, I want to make a knitting project 😢
where are your pants from? i love the whole fit and the sweater looks amazing
The white ones are from artizia, they are pricey but amazingly comfy www.aritzia.com/en/product/modern-cargo-pant/90843.html?dwvar_90843_color=18534
Can you please show how you weave in ends please I always have trouble with it .love you jumper it’s awesome 😘❤️

0:00 ooh girl ur such a badie 😂 so happy u posted today!
This makes me kinda sad bc I’ve spent like a MONTH making my crochet sweater and you finished urs in like 5d…… But this is absolutely beautiful so congratulations!
That sweater is awesome!!
i know this isn't exactly resent anymore but why knit in the round if you don't connect them?
Great job Jenna! Beautiful! EnjoyIt!♥️💖✌️🙏♥️
Jenna, you amaze me. You conquer everything you set out to do! That looks great!
I really envy you because I love going cross country skiing but we moved and sadly no snow here
You could do with a addi king knitter you would knit so faster
