    Please please please don't do anything to your neknitsamy's Uppbót it is BEAUTIFUL I love the fit of it and the colours on you. You did a great job!!!

      Aw thank you! Truthfully I probably won't touch it because once I'm done with a knitting project, I am DONE. Haha it's really hard for me to make changes once I cast off!

    You could cut the sleeves, ravel out the extra fabric and Kitchener stitch them back together. Done it often for kids sweaters when they get taller but not heavier so they just need extra length. You add in, in this case, what is needed and then Kitchener back together. Works a treat.

    Another great episode Amy! I love how honest you are about projects and things that don't go so great ! Would love to see you talk about past knits at some point and whether your feelings about them change ! Can't wait to see the whitmoor cardi and your future summer projects (esp cami no 5 !)

    Hi, I'm knitting Uppbot now and was wondering, in the pattern for the body, where it says, 'work until body measures 26(27, 28, 29,30)cm', does this include the rib section or not? Thanks

    Oh my goodness, I was only half watching while I knit (as one does lol) and then I heard my name. Your Cliff Walk socks are so beautiful! I love how they're working up in Serendipity. And loving all the cardigans you've been knitting lately. They've really been inspiring me to cast on some more for myself.

    • @neknits

      Thanks Amanda! I think everyone needs more cardigans!

    Loved seeing your projects! Would following the chart from the bottom left instead of bottom right (as assumed for righties) have the same effect as mirroring it? That's typically what I do :)

    • @neknits
      @neknits  Рік тому

      I think as long as the chart is symmetrical that would work! I used to read charts like that, until I did Petite Knit's moby sweater where the back is shaped with short rows while following a chart. Because the short rows made each row a different stitch count (asymmetrically), I actually ended up with incorrect stitch counts and misaligned stitches. Since then I've been mirroring and it fixes issues like that!

    Dusty blue whale is one of my favourite colorways from KFO! I also have plans to make a camisole from the ones I have in my stash. Lovely episode as always Amy ❤

    You might be able to do a little sweater surgery to remove length from the sleeves and graft it back together. Knit California did something similar a while back to remove length from the body of a sweater, I believe

    • @neknits
      @neknits  Рік тому

      Thanks for the suggestion! I did see Knit California's video on it and it seemed to work well for her. Not sure if it will work on my sleeve because it is tapered, so cutting out a large section might lead to unequal stitch counts on either side.

    I love your sweater! I also am short. A quick easy solution is to roll your cuffs back. That would shorten the sleeve length.

    Could you tell me where you got the Disney collection of Yarns? Was it a yarn club?

    • @neknits
      @neknits  Рік тому

      They were part of a Sewrella yarn collection! They come out with different themed collections throughout the year that are available for pre-order only. sewrellayarn.com is their website where you can follow them for updates on upcoming collections!

    Love love love 💕 you Uppbot! U inspired me to make one. Your steeking video is great. I have a sweater I not like but as a cardigan I think I do, so I’m going to steek it. Thank you for that, I’m totally going to do that.

    hi amy, i was thinking about your problem with the sleeves of the icelandic jacket and what about just cutting some cms in the blue section and then kitchener them together? i know it is still a lot of work, but definitely less than redoing the entire colourwork! just a suggestion. and i'm very excited about seeing your jurney with the cami 5! i knitted mine last year and i love it and it's kinda funny how everyone seems to have so many problems with it haha

    • @neknits
      @neknits  Рік тому +1

      Thanks for the suggestion! The sleeves are tapered so depending on how much I cut, I think one section would have more stitches than the other so I couldn't kitchener. But I'm glad to hear someone likes the cami no. 5! I'm really hoping I like it too!

  • @alecsgirl
    @alecsgirl Рік тому

    For the Uppbot Jacket, you could cut into the middle of the sleeves, unravel an inch or two and then graft the two halves together. There’s a tutorial on Fruity Knitting (Episode 33) about 11:25 (ua-cam.com/video/wMT_8Pct95Y/v-deo.html). That way maybe you’ll get more wear out of it, it’s a lovely jacket!

    Just curious, why do you describe the KFO Dusty Artichoke color as 'infamous'? I've only heard good things about it, so I'm wondering if there's something I missed.

    • @neknits

      I think you caught me using the word infamous incorrectly - I've also only heard good things! Probably meant to just say "famous"
