- This project took me a year to complete from spinning the yarn to knitting the sweater. In this video, I'll share the whole process from planning to spinning and finally knitting. I'll also give you some tips for planning a large knitting project and keeping your colors organized.

Jillian. Girlfriend. It's beautiful! Don't rip it back! If anyone is looking that closely at the colors of your sweater THEY need a HOBBY!
I think you are right. I could offer to teach them how to spin too! 🤣
@@JillianEve And they would be better for it!
Here's my 2 cents. This is not merely a "garment"--this is ART!! And ART doesn't have to be symmetrical EVER. Machines do symmetrical & perfection--Artists do WHATEVER THE HECK inspires them at the moment! OK????
Oh what a project! It’s perfect the way it is …it’s handspun and hand knit! Enjoy it!
It’s great just the way it is. With all its quirky randomness. It is special and made with so much dedication and love ❤️
I like the sweater the way it is. It makes it more original and yours.
I realize this video is super old, but goodness gracious that sweater (and yarn) is GORGEOUS!!! It really just gets better the more you look at it!! You should be so proud of what you've made!!!
Evie, you’re precious. Never change 🖤
Your sweater turned out beautifully and is perfect the way it is.
I like as is. It's what makes it unique and beautiful.
The sweater is so beautiful and the fit of it is great too! Thank you so much for the acknowledgement of the hours. I feel like UA-cam makes me think that everyone Is so much faster than me, but quality takes time! Thank you for sharing your beautiful lovingly made project!
Absolutely beautiful beautiful!!! Good job, GIRL!!!!💖💖💖
I love it just as it is. It is all by hand and is beautiful. The one sleeve not having that gold gives it sort of a signature that states it is one of a kind.
The sweater came out beautifully! Your arms are going to be in so many positions that it's not important that the lower arms be matching the body. You did match up the top stripes perfectly! Congratulations 🎉
It looks amazing Jillian, I would leave the sleeve. Handspun, hand knitted items are supposed to be unique and yours is just that. I love it so much ❤️❤️❤️
It's so lovely! I think you should leave the sleeve. In my opinion the quirks and weird parts of projects are what make hand spun/hand knit things so special
I say rock as is! There’s always the next thing to go on to!
Leave the sleeve! I think on our own projects we are like detectives 🕵️♀️ looking for mistakes! Enjoy the beauty of your one of a kind piece!
That is a beautiful sweater and I would fully support you keeping it in the background of all of your videos for as long as you want.
Oh thank you!
Your sweater is beautiful, and so inspiring! So much spinning - and so much organization. I vote for leaving the sleeve the way she is - more character! I'm spinning a polwarth/silk blend, and was amazed when I washed the first (little) skein to see how fatter the finished the finished was. But oh so soft and squishy.
Ok, so it isn't just me. Polwarth is just a puffy wool breed. Enjoy your spin! 😊💜🧶🐑
@@JillianEve Hope I'm a better spinner than writer - seems I left a word or two out, and doubled up on others! And I'm a retired teacher. Glad you could make sense of my garbled words :)
It’s a fantastic sweater, my opinion is to wear it a few times if you find yourself bothered by the sleeve you can still rip back - if not then don’t worry about! I love the true showing of time spent and the acknowledgment of that time. Bravo!
Not me reading this while avoiding redoing the too tight sleeves on my first sweater
I really appreciate seeing the fix on the sleeve. It's really important to show both that even experienced crafters sometimes make mistakes and that fixing them is possible!
Wow! That sweater is just beautiful!!! I appreciated your reminder at the end that it took you hundreds of hours to make a 33-minute video. I always want everything done as soon as I think of it, and find my patience to be the main thing that holds me back. I'm trying to live a more in-the-moment purposeful life. Your video has really helped me.
Dear Eve, your sweater is gorgeous. Leave it as it is. This sweater has a story to tell. Thank you for your very interesting and funny videos. I have learnt a lot in and you explain very good. Send you lots of creative love from Germany. Ingrid (I am a spinner,knitter, sewer)
OMG. I just found your channel yesterday and I'm obsessed. I IMMEDIATELY started gathering supplied to learn to drop spin, completely inspired by you. You are so fun and personable and I really love your content. I think I watched you channel about 5 hours yesterday LOL. I am so glad I have so many videos to watch from you. You have inspired me completely! Thank you!
Keep the sleeve! The sweater is AMAZING 😊
I love that the sleeve is a little bit different, it makes it unique (though obviously the whole sweater is one of a kind cuz you handspun it), but it gives it a nice bit of character to have the sleeves be different.
Also, just beautiful sweater, it's so gorgeous.
That sweater is great and looks awesome on! I agree, leave the sleeve.
This turned out fabulous! I think I would alter the sleeve, just to get that yellow band in there… it won’t take long and I think you’ll be happier in the end.
Beautiful Sweater Evie!!! Excellent color coordination and set up!!
You are such an inspiration!🌼
beautiful Jillian thank you for sharing, looks gorgeous on you
I'd leave it as it. it's absolutely lovely and part of the fun of homemade is that they are one-of-a-kinds....
Leave the sleeve! It is so beautiful!!!
What an adventure. I admire your grit ... AND your grist! :) I vote for "leave it as is". For character but mainly because it's alway helpful to have another way to tell back from front other than the collar shape / short rows.
Gorgeous Sweater! It turned out beautifully! Well done you!!!!
Isn't it interesting that the sleeves are bit different, despite even dividing of the fibre.... typical for handspun, and part of the adventure.
It looks wonderful just as it is, but whether or not to rework the sleeves all depends on how you want the finished sweater to look, how you will be most happy with it.
What a wonderful adventure you showed us today, thanks for sharing! ❤
I think you were absolutely right to make sure the arm joins matched up with the body, it just makes a pretty accent stripe across the whole of the project, but I really adore that the bottom of the sleeves don't mirror each other. I think it makes it look unique and fun. And not something mass produced. It's lovely and looks great on you.
It's gorgeous! I agree, it tells a story!
It's gorgeous!! I wouldn't change anything about it.
I knew about using a crochet hook to pick up a dropped stitch or fix a mistake in the pattern, but using the second crochet hook to fix garter stitch is BRILLIANT!!!
it is beautiful - leave it as is ...... it adds "that" touch to YOUR sweater and it is not blatantly odd looking
I love it. It is beautiful. I would leave it.. you always bring me so much joy. Thank you
It really does tell a story! Keep it! Such amazing work!
I actually really, REALLY, love the slight difference on the sleeves. Love it. Love the colours, love the whole project. LOVE IT!
That sweater is simply gorgeous! You can see the drape on camera, and it’s stunning. I almost had a heat attack when you dropped the stitch to go back! For me, I would not change the sleeve. The story behind it is clever, and part of the tale. Yes, props to the makers everywhere who spend their time MAKING. And to you - it’s a lovely project and you look so happy and proud- as you should!
That dropped stitch tutorial was seriously awesome, but I shed a tear watching her ladder back that bit 😱
No fixing it’s beautiful 😻 like it is your so talented and nice.
this project is beautiful !! i would personally go back and re-adjust it to be closer to the other sleeve just cus i love that gold color and i think its fun to have the little bright stripes near the end of the sleeves but i think maintaining the story the project tells is just as beautiful :)
I suggest to leave the sleeve as is. As you put the sweater on you don't see the difference anymore, as you guessed it. This is a wonderful project that turned out so so beautiful!
I’ve knitted two Flaxes and I always struggle to remember which is the front and which is the back when putting them on, so I would cheerfully leave the sleeves the way they are to be able to easily differentiate - and for some extra character and a personal touch! A very beautiful sweater no matter what 🤗
I think its unique!!!! Leave it because it's beautiful!
Leave it as is. I think it looks awesome and properly hand made. No one else will have anything remotely similar. And your knitting is perfect.
Beautiful sweater . Like the start thru finish video. Thank you. I think the sweater colors bring out your eye color very nicely.
Your sweater is beautiful! It does tell a wonderful story, so I vote for leaving it as is! 🧶💖
I would definitely rip back - you put so much effort into the project, it would be worth your time to have an exact match. 😀it’s a beautiful sweater!
Love your spinning and sweater
I love the sweater! Don’t change anything!!! It’s beautiful on you!
That's a beautiful sweater. All that planning really paid off, especially how the colours match where the sleeves join. And it's great to see how you repaired the stitch.
Thank you so much! I felt like I was doing some kind of surgery on those stitches when I laddered down, but you can't tell there was a repair at all.
What a beautiful sweater! I'm watching this a year later- and I hope you didn't rip back that sleeve, because it's beautiful how it is. What an amazing creation. It looks warm and cuddly and I love how the hand painted fiber is shown.
I didn't. I love it too!
Fabulous! Leave it as it is, in my opinion! I am just finishing a pair of 2 at a time socks with commercial yarn, the stripes were matching perfectly until 1 ball had a knot and the striped sequence was way off. I put it down for a day and then knew I had to make both socks match. I glad it I did. BUT if it had been my hand spun yarn I would not change it, it is the art of my hands and there is beauty in the imperfections! It is the signature of my work! ❤️🧶❤️
The difference between manufactured items (ala the industrial revolution) and hand made items (even artisan) is uniqueness and individuality born of inspiration, or creativity. All the facets of your project leap out as art, unique and well done, not something mass produced. Thank you for sharing, you're really inspiring.
I love the sleeves as they are! 🎃❤🎉 They look beautiful!
Golden thumbs up.
And here I thought I am the slowest knitter as it takes me months and months to finish a single project. This video eases my mind, body, and soul. 😌
I like the sweater as it is! So fun!
I think your sweater is amazing. If the second sleeve bothers you, change it. Personally, I think it is beautiful and the touch of asymmetry at the bottom of the sleeves makes the whole piece more interesting.
I am soooo impressed with how that first stripe turned out!!!
its beautiful the way it is. unique no one has one like it in the world. just you.
Gawjuss! 😍 You had the self control to not look and fuss, embrace the result I say 😁👍🏻
If the sleeve bothers you change it, if not leave it. It looks lovely xxxxx
Amazing, I love it, don’t redo the sleeve. It’s perfect as is. I only wish I could spin and make a complete garment. Wear with pride. Thanks from Australia 🐨🦘
your Flax is so stinking cute. whatever you do... don't fix it! i love the slight hint of assymetry. it breaks up the horizontal line of the gold stripe across the bottom of the sweater which shifts the attention back up to the gold stripe at the top, near your lovely face. it's cute, girl. just wear your sweater and love it.
Love it. You inspire me so much. I started spinning last October and have spun enough fibre for a cardigan. It has been many years since i have knitted anything and i have invested in circular needles that i have never used before, Having biught the wheel and lots of accessories and now the new needles, this may be the most expensive home made cardi ever! However i am loving it! I am feeling proud of my achievement, and big thanks to you and others for all the amazing free tutorials. I have 2 sleeves to do and the neck and i am done! I think i may even finish before my years anniversary from starting to spin. Thank yiu for all your expertise and enciuragement.
I giggled when I heard the "Oh no I dropped a stitch". As a crocheter it's a pain in the bum having to unravel the whole thing if I miss count or mess up somewhere back. I don't think it's a problem having different colours at all, it fits and it's unique so personally I wouldn't unravel! It's such a beautiful sweater you made there! I only make toys but I'm thinking about making a hoodie or a scarf now, you're a huge inspiration
That is stunning I wouldn't change a thing
I love your sweater you did an incredible job on it. A great deal of time went into your sweater, If it bothers you to fix the sleeve then do it, but to me it is fabulous the way it is.
I love it! I too am torn about frogging to match colors on the sleeves. 1 part of me says leave it because it's a wearable photo to remind you of your journey from start to finish. 2nd part of me is saying "you're going to go crazy with the off set! Fix it" but that's me. I do like the left sleeve more than the right because you don't appear lopsided and it balances with the body as well.
Update: after seeing your excitement and pride with the left sleeve.... Fix the color issue. It will just be a minor bump in the road and you will be way more proud of yourself in the overall spectrum. Plus, it will just add another "mile" to the journey with another I did it aspect in there
Very beautiful as it is, I vote just leave it.
Totally love this project and appreciate the many creative hours. As regards the sleeve colours l would leave it as is ... perfect and original.
It's absolutely lovely.
If I had enough wool, I would rip it back but that’s me. It’s beautiful 😍
Your sweater is BEAUTIFUL!!!!
I’m amazed at how the sleeves match as well as they do ! 🤩
It is perfect just the way it is!!!
That looks beautiful on you!
My mind is BLOWN! A-MA-ZING. If the sleeve is going to bother you, take it back. If not, meh, the point of all this work is to have an entirely unique sweater. Nobody has anything like it! And that means you can do what you want. It’s really beautiful.
The wonderful thing about handspun is that it doesn't/ shouldn't need "fixing". It is part of the design of being uniquely handspun.
You are amazing. What a wonderful project.
Oh that is so amazing! If I one day have space to take up spinning I want to try spinning for a sweater, this is so cool!
I would redo. I love the gold at the bottom of the sleeve. Gives it pizazz!
Absolutely gorgeous qnd I vote leave it x
Gorgeous! I would keep it as it is. That is how it wanted to be :)
Beautiful. I so want to spin my own yarn and make a sweater with it but I am a very new spinner and am learning on my own. I do not see this happening for a very long time. I love your videos!! Thanks for sharing this with us!!!
Leave the sleeve alone. I think it's absolutely fine. Little things like that I think of it as my "Happy Little Tree."
That one flaw is our little signature on the project.
Yes! It's my "happy little sleeve". I think Bob Ross would approve!
I love your sweater! I wouldn't change a thing. One thing I like about knitting or crocheting your own clothing is it's original, not machine made. If we always pick it apart it will ruin the originality. Love it!
So true! 🧶💜🥰
Evie I sure hope you didn't rip back the sleeve to match. I absolutely love how this came out! It's as beautifully unique as you are!!
Enjoy your enthusiasm...leave the sleeve as is...adds to the artistry...and honestly I didn't see it until you pointed it out.
That unique design on the left sleeve just looks like you have a built in bracelet! Keep the sleeve 🤗
Your sweater is lovely and thanks for the suggestions! I don't think you need to modify the sleeve, if someone asks about it you'll be able to tell them it's hand made!
I say leave the sleeve as is. The eye is drawn to the top and it matches there.
I love the color combo! I also have had that pattern in my queue for YEARS, and think maybe that will be my next project.
It's such a relaxing knit and honestly, a pattern that I'm sure I'll be reaching for a lot! I'm calling this a wardrobe staple. Happy spinning!
Beautiful sweater! Personally I would take back the sleeve, as it wouldn't be that much work, just to include some of the yellow colour - it still doesn't have to be exact, but matching the second sleeve more closely to the first would just make a beautiful sweater exceptional!!!
I hope you do whatever makes you most proud of your beautiful sweater!!
Super-gorgeous sweater! And so many good tips...thanks. Annnnd: most epic laddering back ever!! :D
I think it looks great as is!!!! Awesome!
