I haven't told this story yet. A year ago in June I found a lump and was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. Due to medical personnel shortages from Covid, my treatment didn't start until Oct. I _always_ had projects, extra yarn, hooks and needles with me. I made several caps for my bald head, and even made a cap with crocheted "dreadlocks" for a chemo buddy. It turned out wonderful! At one point I had a terrible reaction to one of the chemo drugs and had severe neuropathy in my feet and hands. Oh, please, not my hands! I can't survive this if I can't use my hands! Praise God, they recovered quickly after switching treatments. My feet are still partially numb, but it's a reminder of how thankful I am that my hands are not. Chemo, surgery, and radiation are not easy - physically or mentally. But, I honestly believe knitting and crocheting were a HUGE part of my healing and keeping my sanity. I'm actually crying as I write this because I am sooo thankful for the craft skills I learned as a child. I had no idea how sustaining and nourishing they would be in my 60s. Thank you, Dad, for teaching me to crochet. Thank you, Mom, for buying those knitting books. 353 days later on Sept 28th I had my last treatment and I am cancer free.
God bless you. Praying in thanksgiving for your recovery. ❤
God bless you. Thank you for sharing.
I'm so glad that you're cancer free now and that you didn't have to give up knitting/crocheting. Thank you for sharing your story! 🤎
Praise the Lord! Praying for your continued health and wholeness!
God bless you
I was an art major and still enjoy sketching or painting, but I also embroider, cross stitch, and discovered the meditative joy of hand quilting during the pandemic. Being creative and keeping my hands busy is therapeutic.
I love knitting, crochet, sewing, painting pottery, jewelry making, and so much more!❤
I NEED that hat! The colors of this sweater are definitely MY COLORS! And I NEED this sweater! The crafts that I’m passionate about are knitting, crocheting, sewing, jewelry making, drawing, crewel, cross-stitch, needlepoint, and painting. I’m never bored.
I truly love "craftng" something sweet, like muffins, cookies, cakes... Maybe it is temporary art for me, but it bring me so much joy just like knitting and crocheting, but it is also an easy way to connect with people that are close to me by just simply showing them that I love and care for them
My mom, who is full Navajo, loved all crafts and always bought my sister and I kits for embroidery friendship bracelets, all the drawing supplies, and she loved to sew and picked up blanket weaving when I was a teen. So... I love ALL the crafts! Sewing, painting, macrame, and embroidery ❤️🥰❤️
This is wonderful. 🤎
This pattern is stunning. I continue to knit almost everyday. It’s my therapy. Along with knitting, I enjoy crochet, tatting, hand embroidery, cross stitch. I wish I had more hours in a day to accomplish all the crafty things I desire 😊
OMG… Drop the Mic!!!!! This sweater has left me speechless.
I was blessed years few years ago to stay near Gila national Park, in New Mexico. A friend of mine lives there and that trip changed my life. I also went to a teeny yarn shop in silver springs,,which is an art city, and bought my very first Lykke needles. Was blessed to meet some fiber lovers that had a passion that was refreshing.
This project is stunning. I crochet and knit...but also I make handmade cards. I think cardmaking is a beautiful craft. The artist spends time creating...then sends it to someone who is reminded they are not forgotten. They are loved and remembered. It's a craft that reaches out, and connects us. Beautiful.
Thank you for all your lovely patterns! I now prefer to knit sweaters over all my other crafts: crochet (52 years), sewing (52 years), painting, embroidery, cross-stitch, gardening and singing. 😊
Knitting and crochet are my two favorite crafts at the moment, but I also love to draw, paint, and sew.
I don't believe I've ever seen a knitted in the round item with the cable knit cast on before.
I do many crafts: knitting, crochet, quilting, sewing, painting, counted cross stitch. I cannot say I adore one over the other- as long as my hands are busy, my mind engaged, I'm a happy soul.
I used to crochet more than anything but I found this channel and learned to knit- I love being able to create whatever I want from a single thread. It’s like magic to me and I love the process. I’m a trained visual artist and I think these things need to be taught in school ❤
I enjoy most fiber crafts. I knit ,crochet, embroider, counted cross stitch, and lace making. I enjoy sewing and baking. These things help keep me calm and at peace. Thank you so much for your patterns and tutorials! I have learned new things.
Jaw dropped! The main reason I knit/crochet is exactly how you described. Family, traditions, taking care of others. This sweater is a work of art that is timeless.
I would love more gorgeous knits and yarn! I also make greeting cards in all sorts of variety. I used to bead, but card making took over, then I found you and your yarn and now I can't stop knitting and crochet. Then you came out with the Mysa Wrap and It was so fun to knit and bead at the same time! Thank you so much for bringing joy and delight to my life. My skill have increased greatly, all thanks to you! Have a beautiful day! Love and hugs!!!
I aspire to knit something like this one day. I think I can, I think I can... I enjoy crochet, knitting, photography, acrylic pour painting, all kinds of crafts really. It all got started with those looms that make potholders WAY back when, and latchhook, paint-by-number, macrame, etc as a kid. Didn't learn to crochet and knit until I was well into adulthood.
I love knitting , crochet, sewing , embroidery , drawing , sketching , coloring , painting and cooking . I love your patterns and hopefully one day I'll be able to try your luscious yarn I sit and drool all day .
While I wish I was a crafty person sadly I am not. Aside from knitting all I can do is cook/bake. I’ve been helping my grandma in the kitchen since before I could walk. I love to cook and bake all kinds of thing especially bread. It was actually my grandmas best friend that taught me to knit when I was pregnant. I wish I learned so much sooner! The joy of being able to make something with your hands and give it as a gift to a loved one is one of the best feelings.
I love colorwork sweaters! I love wearing unique items. Knitting is my obsession, but I also crochet and sew.
I crochet, cross stitch, beading and jewelry, sew, play piano, guitar and violin. I also love to bake and create new recipes in the kitchen and I love my flower gardens. I love that there are so many ways to be creative in all the things I love to do.
Wow, so many fun things you do 🧡
I work with so many different mediums in art - paper, clay, paint, yarn, glass, wood, etc... I've never tried pottery but hoping to sign up for a class soon! Creating art, no matter the medium, brings me peace and I feel so much closer to my Creator when using the talents he gave me!
We lived in New Mexico. Love Jemez Pueblo! Each of the 19 pueblos have a rich history. Love this beautiful sweater. Thank you! I love to knit, crochet and diamond paint.
This sweater is stunning. Until a year ago, I lived in New Mexico near the Jemez Pueblo, and I could see the wonderful view of the Jemez Mountains from my back yard. I miss that view. I am inspired to make this sweater to commemorate my time in New Mexico.
I think I had that pot! All kidding aside, this design is truly striking. As a guy of "a certain age", I'd not make it cropped, but that's one of the best things about knitting - it's always so adaptable. My parents made sure that I was exposed to lots of crafty adventures, either at home or through local classes at the Y, the scouts or other youth clubs. There was wood and metal working, pottery, plastic molding, jewelry making, wire sculpture - the list goes on and on. In the 60s and 70s we made a lot of candles, especially ice candles. My apartment is too small for something that involved today, but it was a lot of fun. Nowadays I knit, crochet and sew and occasionally do a little jewelry work. You know, all the things a guy of "a certain age" can do sitting down.
🤎🤎🤎
Thos sweater is an absolute show stopper. I've never done pottery but in addition to knitting I love doing embroidery and beadwork ❤
I am a multi crafter, I cross stitch, sew makes on my sewing machine and on my overlocker, I've dabbled in card making, but knitting is my first love.
Knitting is pretty much the only craft I do regularly. I recently tried to pick up crochet, but there are so many knitting projects in my queue with various gifts and new techniques.
I love to knit and crochet. My daughter and I invested in a pottery wheel and kiln, and it's so much fun creating items with clay! Also, I like to weave baskets, sew, and bake and cook all sorts of yummy foods for my family.
Thank you for this beautiful pattern.
Beautiful knitted jumper, something I used to knit in my early days, nothing like the perfect hand made jumper ❤️ these days I crochet alot but besides my passion for crochet, knitting and collecting yarn 😂 I have a love for orchids, obsession for orchids and member of an orchid society 🌺 both passion fill my my life with peace and joy 🙏🏻 oh and my twin grandchildren ❤️❤️
I have some of this pottery and the sweater is spot on! I retired 2 years ago, taken on DIYing and have almost completed redoing my second bathroom. This time doing new flooring, new electrical outlets, switches and light fixture, and all new plumbing. It’s been a wonderful learning experience on how things work but very stressful at times. I thank God I have my “comfort” crafts of knitting and crocheting to destress in the evening or I couldn’t have kept going. ❤
🧡🧡🧡
I can't wait to knit this pattern. I grew up in the Southwest and I have an appreciation for all the different Pueblo pottery styles. If I'm not knitting then I'm doing landscape photography. I love the beauty of natural surroundings.
You taught me how to knit! And now I knit for my children ♥️👶🏼 Currently working on a sweater for my baby. Never met a craft I didn’t like but knitting is my current obsession 😂
Simply a Gorgeous pattern! I used to knit. In addition to crocheting, I sew clothing for myself and my grandchildren. I get a lot of joy from designing. I want to learn how to quilt, it looks so expressive and very satisfying.
I knit and crochet, cross stitch, sew, and dabble at basket weaving. I love all fiber arts!!
I enjoy so many other creative outlets besides knitting: sewing, painting, jewelry making, gardening, to name a few 😊 This sweater is gorgeous!
Aww, thank you. I'm so glad you enjoy our newest pattern. 💙
I also crochet and sew and used to do a ton of counted cross-stitch. I still have a huge project of the nativity over 5 panels to do! One day, when I'm retired I'll get it done. Right now I find knitting a great way to leave the work at the office and relax.
Oh my goodness!!! I love this pattern!! I love being creative, so crochet, knit, painting, baking, cooking.
Knit and crochet are my favorite obsessions but I also love most crafts. I've been doing a lot of paper crafts, mainly mixed media for holiday cards using paper, buttons and fiber. Anything that allows me to be creative and use art as an extension of self and expression. loveLoveLOVE all that you share with us... thank you. ♥
What a gorgeous jumper, I love that it's not too long or bulky.
I love to knit and crochet. I can cross stitch but don't have as much patient for that; but appreciate the beauty of it when someone does have the patience! I'd love to learn pottery, too.
This pattern is beautiful. Knit every day. Sew, crochet, Cross stitch. Thanks for the tutorials.
I love to knit and crochet, but love to draw and paint. My daughter is a little artist and we love to paint together. We also love to bake and try new cooking recipes. I find cooking to be such fun it feels like a craft to me. I am starting to to get into sewing but have only done a few mends and made a few pillows.
I find joy in knitting and quilting.
Long time crocheter and recent knitter. Dabble in cross stitch, sewing, paper mache, and furniture refinishing. Beautiful sweater design.
I have taken up darning and sashiko embroidery in addition to sewing. In Japan, we are expected to sew many things for our children for school - a gym clothes bag, a lunch smock bag, shoes bags, and wiping rags. But as things wear out and become more like a golf course or swiss cheese, I now get to revert to our ancestors' wisdom and "mottainai" (do not waste) mentality with darning and sashiko. The "unshin" or the movement of the needle is very therapeautic like knitting!
How awesome 🤎
What a lovely sweater. I love all things fiber - knit,crochet, spin and weave. Thank you for all of the wonderful patterns and the gorgeous yarn you offer.
I've never seen that before for dealing with jogs! Doing that from now on for everything, thank you. 💖
I do love this sweater. I was immediately thinking of pottery as soon as I saw the pattern. It's a skill sadly that alludes me. I've tried a few time but just end up with a blob of clay! Oh well.
I love knitting and crocheting. Coloring has brought me a lot of joy also. From doing it with my grandchildren to drawing full images. Reading is also a big passion. Curling up on a chair with my current book, being transported into by imagination into far off realms and lives.
I do have audio books, but nothing beats holding and being engrossed in a fabulous page turning physical book.
Love both the sweater patterns this week. Take care sweetness. xxJane 🐑🌈
Gorgeous pattern! In addition to knitting I sew clothing for myself and costumes for my grandkids. I also make appliquéd themed baby blankets using fleece fabric. The parents provide the theme and I make the design. I get a lot of joy creating the designs so each child has a unique baby blanket. I’ve recently learned to quilt which is also very satisfying.
Absolutely beautiful sweater pattern! Knitting is my favorite pastime. Baking for the family and friends is delightful. The neighbor girls look forward to doing seasonal crafts at my house. I used to sew pjs and costumes for the kids; now sew a project here and there. Thank you!
Knitting truly is an art , the design is oh so capable of looking many ways depending on the size and style., it’s just a stunner, thank you!
Love this pattern! In addition to knitting and crocheting, I sew, make jewelry and card making. I love creating things!
I’ve been crocheting the last few years, and have knitted a intermittently. Cooking and gardening are other hobbies. This pattern is beautiful. Thank you for sharing
Another needed relaxing video. I swear, there's something about your presence that makes a person want to be mindful of their breathing and be at ease for a moment. Besides knitting, which I do now, and pottery, which I used to do some time ago, I would tinker around with jewelry making. Mostly beading, though I wouldn't mind a little metalwork. I used to want to make soap, but the older I get, the more that one is something I just like to daydream about. I wanted to do spinning, with an electric spinner now though, but again, that's more of a daydream now. I'm usually pretty happy as long as I'm making something however it gets made.
I'm so glad you enjoy our videos. 🤎
i think my daughters would love this pattern.
I love knitting and crocheting because they are mobile and I can take them with me. But I also love to sew (loved the concept of making a model shirt pattern for sewing) and gardening. Yay Friday!
Agree, beautiful pattern but the yarn is also, beautiful. Love to sew and quilt
Besides knitting and crochet I love making wire jewelry, painting, dyeing yarn and working with resin. I'm a crafter at heart so I'll try anything crafty. I can't wait to make this sweater, I haven't knit very many cowork projects.
Most of my favorite crafts are fiber related because I love seeing a tangible thing being built from the ground up. cuz the enjoyment I get from seeing grow as I work and put my love for the art into this thing that I made. Because yes others may make the same thing as me but mine has things in it that make it uniquely mine.
I absolutely love this pattern. I did download it, but have not bought the yarn yet. I love knitting, gardening, and making jewelry. Most of my focus is on Knitting now. I love making things for my grandchildren and family. Love your yarns and patterns.
This pattern is my happy place! Thank you so much for this wonderful surprise this morning.
One of my grandmothers had an immense love for the southwest and was born in the Oklahoma territory. Every year, at least once, she and my grandfather would travel throughout Indian Pueblos and collect artwork and pottery. I grew up loving to listen to their stories and had a deep appreciation for the art and pottery. Even though she didn't make the pottery or knit the textiles, the love of family was there.
My other gran taught me how to knit! It is definitely my favorite hobby and while she tried to get me to crochet, I've only found a few projects that I loved enough to finish.
The combination of these two beloved hobbies passed from my family rings true in this one pattern. I usually anticipate your Friday email and download the pattern with a "someday" cast on date. Today's was a visceral calling and a huge dose of nostalgia. I just deeply wish that they were both still here to enjoy this as much as I am. Thank you ❤
Beautiful soul, Chandi, once again a beautiful pattern that looks too hard but when watching how the pattern works it is really easy to see and understand. Thank you once again for another beautiful pattern. You are like a breath of fresh air. It is wonderful to see someone showing us the techniques you use and in both knitting and crocheting. I have learned more tricks from you in my 50 years of crocheting and now I am knitting too. I can never thank you enough for your refreshing views. You always sound like you are excited to teach us and never have that air of ugh here I go again. you never sound bored or boring. In the future I would like to do something like this myself so that I can share the knowledge with others.
I'm so thrilled to hear that 💕
What a lovely sweater! Along with knitting and crocheting, I enjoy making jewelry and cross stitching.
I love to knit, crochet and making jewelry with beads. Painting I used to do before
Before I got into knit and crochet my fiber passion was cross stitch, i have a number of large fairy pieces framed up. It's a quiet meditation for me.
I also like and would love to learn more needlepoint crafts like cross-stitch. I do like baking here and there and cooking but knitting/Crochet is definitely my major crafting.
I also love crocheting, punch needle, and journaling!
I love to make jewelry and I sew a lot too. I love how you show us a glimpse of your life.
That is a beautiful sweater, I am a slow knitter but really enjoy knitting. Crocheting and needle work are also among my favourite crafts.
Such a gorgeous sweater will love trying my hand at this. I also love weaving, cross stitch, Bargello (another needlework stitch technique), paper folding and napkin folding to make a unique dinner table. Thank you for all of your positivity.
I don’t knit but I love to crochet. I have done many many different crafts but other than crochet my favourite is cross stitch. Had a cross stitch store for several years.
Lovely pattern. Besides crochet and knitting, I enjoy Woodcarving, needelfelting, cross stitch, drawing/painting, and drumming.
The design is so wonderful. It really pops. You can see all the aspects of the design....beautiful sweater.
Along with knitting, I enjoy calligraphy and crocheting
This pattern is wonderful, the detail is great and it will be such a joy to knit. I have been knitting since I was 7 years old and only learnt to crochet last year. My knitting has kept me occupied when I had a long stint on the sick due to losing my leg so this kept me sane and my mind occupied at the time. I have always wanted to learn macrame but so far I have not got round to it, but it is something I will hopefully learn next year. Thank so for such wonderful and inspiring videos.
In addition to knitting and crocheting, I love to practice my lettering and acrylic painting. This will be my first attempt at knitting a sweater!
This sweater reminds me of the beautiful Navajo and Mexican pottery from my grandmother’s house. My mother also has beautiful native American baskets with similar designs. ❤🧶❤️🧶❤️
I love a challenge, this pattern has new techniques which I love learning. I try to learn something new every day. Through the years I've loved doing crafts (was a Girl Scout Leader). Stamping, macrame, crocheting (made my first Afghan when pregnant with my first child), reading, long walks, beaded ornaments. I just finished a knitted cowl and my work in progress is the MKAL Shalanket. I keep busy. Enjoy the Fall weather.
What a beautiful pattern. When I’m not knitting I like to paint and crochet. I have tried many other crafts over the years. Cross stitch, candle making, and so many others- some fails, some not. Next on my list to try is spinning. 🤞
Pottery is exactly what I thought of when I saw that top! Beautiful!! If only I could knit 😢 I love the yarn! I like making greeting cards for people. You can do so much with them. I also like doing diamond painting.
I haven't knitted a sweater in a awhile but I have fallen in love with this design.
I will be taking my needles out to make this sweater.
Thank you for your beautiful design it is amazing and I can't wait to get started on mine.
I have to admit it will take me a while longer to make your sweater over when I crochet but it's well worth it.
I would also like to thank you for the video showing how to make all of the stitches.
Wonderful! Enjoy making it 💕
This sweater pattern is beautiful. I started with crochet and moved on to sewing then to needle point and finally knitting.
Fabulous hints! This jumper's pattern reminds me of a tiny native American pot I bought in Arizona years ago! I love crafts and recently learn to make a medieval note book tied with leather straps. Exciting. Thank you for all your gentle, informative vlogs 💕🌿
Wow ! That is a beautiful sweater. I enjoy knitting, crocheting, and quilting.
First of all, I am in love with the desk at the start of the video. I do love learning new knitting and crocheting techniques. I also paint and do calligraphy. What relaxes me most is cooking and baking favorite recipes and filling my house with yummy aromas. Thanks for the German short rows lessonette - it cleared up some of the confusion I had about it. Would love to win the yarn and create my own masterpiece.
In addition to learning how to knit I am also a crocheted. I enjoy crocheting for bigger projects like tablecloths and blankets and knitting for smaller projects like cowls and hats so far.
As well as knitting and crocheting, I also cross stitch and I'm learning how to colour (with pencils amd markers). I love the act of creation, and learning new skills 🥰
I love quilting, embroidery, and gardening. Love your show!❤
Wonderful! 🤎
This is a very unique pattern! In addition to crochet, I'm now taking up knitting. My original love though is painting and drawing. ❤
This sweater reminds me of home 🥹I'm from NM, where pottery is such a big part of the culture and style! And the name of the sweater, Jemez, is the name of a town in NM where people go to hike and camp in the gorgeous mountains!
Other than knitting, I also love to bake, do paint by numbers, and I'm a pianist!
This pattern is so beautiful. I wish I was confident enough to do all the color work. I crochet but am loving my knitting journey
This sweater is stunning! I've never made a sweater for myself but this one would be worth keeping for myself. A hobby I really love is walking and playing Pokemon Go. I've met so many nice people and I get a lot of steps in each day. I've walked almost every street in my city!
Yes jaw dropping!! I recognized the pottery inspiration immediately. I’ve so many many crafts over the years but the ones that stuck were swing ( made lots of baby clothes) and crochet. And now in my old age I’m learning to be a knitter. Great tip on avoiding the jog.
I both Knit and crochet. And I do painting in watercolors. Love all the colors. I haven't made a sweater before, but this pattern makes me want to try.
Gorgeous sweater! I love to crochet almost all the time. I do knit, tat, Macrame, and make jewelry as well.. just not enough hours in a day... Funny how when someone is creative in one thing they are creative in many! Thank you for sharing so many adorable patterns! 💗💖💝
Beautiful sweater, loved your tips.
My tried and true hobbies/loves is crochet and knitting. It’s my me time. My other craft is being a mom to my last baby who is almost 17 and very busy. 90% of the time we are at the soccer fields and I’m playing Uber-mom 🤪…..and I love it!
In addition to knitting I love to weave, spin, sew, and wood turn (especially things for my other crafts like spinning bobbins). This pattern is absolutely beautiful.
I love to knit, and have done various crafts over the years, but have always wanted to try stained glass-playing with color and texture that light can shine thru fascinates me. I persuaded my hubby to do a “date night class” at a local studio where we each got to make a sun catcher. We had a great time! I’m considering the four week class, it was so much fun. (But knitting is my therapy. It’s so soothing and has so many techniques to try.)
Oh what a fabulous idea. 💕
Beautiful pattern and yarn! Big fan! I crochet, knit, Tunisian crochet, make jewelry and occasionally enjoy paper crafts. Thank you for sharing your designs and yarn!
The colorwork is so unique and pretty on this design, and the glossiness of the yarn base is gorgeous. Although my favorite craft is knitting, I have also enjoyed dabbling in crochet, embroidery and very simple jewelry-making.❤😊
Thanks for sharing! 🧡
