    Marley, you are such an excellent teacher!! Thank you for all of your tutorial videos, but especially this one. It demystified the "scary" of making a garment, beginning with the measuring of my chest and trying to pick the right size for my body. Please keep producing such thorough, helpful, and professional assistance!!

    Marley, thank you so much for the clear help. I am a new knitter and am learning as I go. When I was a teenager my mom started to teach me, but passed away before she could even teach me to bind/cast off. I spent decades wishing I knew how to finish a project. You have taught me what I needed to know. Now I have the confidence to try a sweater! Thank you a million times.

    Marly.... You are an excellent instructor... You think of everything. I learned so much from this video! I was especially impressed by what a difference yarn choice makes. It was so interesting to see how Differently each sample of yarn knitted up...and produced a different gauge. It was amazing.
    Thank you for taking the time to give us such detailed instructions. You are the best💜

    I haven't knit for almost 50 years. This sweater is beyond why I want, so I just ordered needles and the yarn. Please, tell me I'm not biting off too much here. Thank you for a fantastic tutorial, you are so easy to understand and follow!

  • @ginette2100

    Marly you saved me. The lack of proper swatching explains how hard I made it for myself before. Now I can confidentiality follow any pattern and get my size exactly. I did my swatches for this sweater, measured it then washed it and measured it again, wow I was going to use the wrong size needles . Thanks so much.

    Thanks so much Marly! I've been knitting most of my life - 50+ years, but I have never had the patience to make a swatch. I always just jumped into my pattern, but oftentimes the end result did not fit. I knew doing a gauge swatch would have solved this problem, but I was stubborn and just thought swatching was a waste of time. Thank you for showing me the error of my ways! I am now a true believer in swatching.

    Thank you so much Marley. You have explained this so easily at long last I understand the importance of making a gauge swatch. I recently made a jumper 30” bust which turned out to be 38”bust it was huge and the arms ended being so long. This has made me understand the importance of Guate swatching. Can’t wait for the next session with you. You are the best instructor ever.

    Marley, thank you so much for all the information you shared. It is all so important to all of us knitters. Especially the swatches. I won’t knit a sweater without knitting a swatch first(haven’t tried one yet). By the way, I liked what you said about a yeti! I love to watch the tv shows about them and Bigfoot! 😂

    I'm so excited to begin my 1st "LIVE" KAL. I've only just pick back up my knitting and crocheting after decades of dormancy. My Irish grandmother would be happy about that I think. However, I wish she had taught me the continental style of knitting that she did instead of what she called, "American knitting". I'm having a devil of a time trying to switch... But my left hand isn't cooperating. Soo... This will be an "American" sweater... drat! I went to 4 craft store AND Walmart trying to find Hygge Charm without any luck. To to those who think the regular Hygge is the same weight only missing the sparkle... Nope. It's a 5 weight. Com'on Red Heart deliver my package already 🤨 Thanks Marly, for the fun and informative video! Good luck everyone 🍀

    So, Marley was not kidding when she said don’t try to use your blocked swatch on your sweater. I undid my swatch and wound it into a ball. Tried to use it to start the cuff of my second sleeve and it was really curly and crazy. I used Alize 100% Royal Merino and it is soooo nice!

    Hi, Marley! Recently, I have had lots of requests for knitted items, and I have been asked while out in the public about knitting ( I always carry mine with me). I have referred several people; including my 8 year old Granddaughter who lives 8 hours away from me; to your channel. Why? Because I’ve watched your videos teaching your Mom about knitting! You are such a wonderful knitting teacher and I think anyone who has the desire to learn would benefit greatly by watching your channel. I really enjoy the reviews with you and Kaitlin, too. Love the friendly banter between you both and your reviews are so informative and thorough. Thanks, Marley. Please tell Kaitlin (sorry if I spelled it wrong) thank you, too.

    @deirdreevans5533 5 років тому +1

    Hi Marley! This video was extremely important to me. I'm glad I decided to watch it. I considered myself a great crocheter not a great knitter, until I watched this video. I NEVER knew how important a gauge swatch was until now. I crochet baby items. (Sweaters, booties, blankets etc.) All of these items turn out to be much larger than they are supposed to be. Now I know why. I ignored the gauge 😔. So I have been itching to knit something for myself, saw this video and decided to give this a try. THANK YOU SO MUCH for this much needed information. It's so important!👍I always thought gauge was a waste of time but I was SO wrong😔... Another thing is , when I did do a swatch and the stitch count was not matching the pattern gauge, I would pull it out, change hooks and use that same yarn for another swatch. (not good I see) Ok so tomorrow I will go to Michael's and get the Red Heart Hygge yarn and do a gauge swatch so I can knit my first sweater😀 You are an excellent instructor. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and skills with us.

    • @MarlyBird

    Thank you for this kal!! I have a question. I do do swatches but I through them in the washer (cold water) and dryer(low heat) I treat my swatches as I would the sweater itself. Maybe it's because I don't use animal yarn? I honestly don't have time or space to lay out all our (6 of us) knit products. It's not bite me in the rear yet but will it?
