    THANK YOU for such a GREAT TUTORIAL and no annoying music.
    I have so much yarn that I have purchased for sweaters and ended up quitting because, I had problems understanding what I was supposed to do. Thanks to you my yarn wont be wasted. You make it perfectly clear what needs to be done and how to do it. I will have a variety of different color sweaters now.
    Thank you again and I hope you will make more tutorials. Maybe one on TAAT socks.

    This has been a wonderful tutorial. I made the sweater and love it. The directions were so easy to follow. I am 85 years old and not too good at knitting but the project came out perfectly.
    I would love to see the person who is instructing. Her voice is so clear and she's so knowledgeable. Look forward to another project from her. Thanks for making my day.

    Great video, thank you! The only thing I do differently is that I knit both sleeves on the same circulars at once (two balls of yarn). It makes it easier for me to make sure I increase or decease equally.

    THIS ISA GREAT TUTORIAL, DIFFERENT TO MY KNITTING EXPERIENCES, I AM AUSTRALIAN AND HAVE BEEN KNITTING SINCE I WAS 6-7 YEARS OLD AND I AM NOW 82. I HAVE NEVER USED A MARKER OR BLOCKED A GARMENT, I HAD NEVER EVEN SEEN IT BEFORE I STARTED WATCHING AMERICAN TUTORIALS. I LOOOOVE THE WAY YOU EASED THE SLEEV IN E BY TAKING ONE STRAND THEN TWO STRANDS WHEN SEWING IT UP. SO I HAVE LEARNED SOMETHING TODAY. NORMALLY WE I WOULD SEW THE SLEEVES SEAM FIRST THEN SET THE SLEEVE IN. THANK, YOU ARE VERY EASY TO LISTEN TO, VERY CALM, I REALLY ENJOYED THIS. THANK YOU. BLESSINGS , TRIXIE.

I am looking forward to making this for myself especially now that I've finished watching you work from start to finish.
    I wrote earlier on my knitting page (Facebook) that I wish to make this using an Alpaca/Silk blend. I swatched using a 4.5 mm needle which came out exactly to your instructions. Thank you once again for this fantastic video.

  • @joannecordelia
    @joannecordelia 5 років тому +3

    Also wanted to mention, I don’t have an Addi machine. I prefer knitting but you have very few things that are hand knit and are useable projects, ie. Cowls, mittens, gloves, fingerless gloves, etc. If I take the time to knit I want it to look professionally done, well made, something people would like. THIS sweater is perfect for that! I also must either beg for yarn or ask my family to buy it for me. So I am looking forward to more things you knit! Thank you! 😁👍❤️

It was time consuming and tiresome . From now on going to do it this way. It’s a wonderful tutorial and you are a GREAT teacher. You have great teaching skills. Glad I found your website. Can’t wait to make my first sweater this way. Think I’ll add pockets. Again thank you.

    Much thanks, lol...in the process of starting up a new basic square’ish sweater, my own pattern. After figuring out all my lace & cable stitches plain ran out of steam for the sleeves. Being just a casual weekend kind of sweater the hassle of worrying about decreases & maintaining pattern; again a really casual look. Your approach to add them on with a relaxed shoulder fit is perfect!! Much thanks, stay safe & be well!

    @tehcanadianbacon314 4 роки тому +4

    Great tutorial! I'm a really slow knitter (continental knitting cramps my hands up pretty quickly) and decided to make the sweater longer (20 3/4 inches before creating the arm holes). It's a little discouraging to see that I've only accomplished about 24min of the video in about a month lol. I'm aware that there's a time-lapse and that I'm knitting a large size sweater, so I'm drawing strength from those realities. I'm hopeful that the upper back and front will go by faster and that I'll have my first sweater completed in the next month or so :)

    That’s beautiful! I can only knit a little. If I make a mistake, I’m lost, lol. I’ve never made anything, as I always mess up. But before you feel bad for me, don’t! My craft is crochet, and I love it. It suits me better. Still, I do keep practicing knitting now and then, as my mom knitted-she was a pro! She taught me a little when I was very small- the rest I learned (what little I know)-on UA-cam. I keep my hand in it just to feel close to her, as she died when I was 11years old. I like watching you knit-you’re so good at it! I’ll be 63 on July 5. You are so patient and sweet to watch and listen to; you’re a good teacher for those learning. Keep up the good work, so this craft never dies. ❤️

I asked lots of questions on Raverley groups that I am in, & I would never get answers from people, for a Beginner.

    I've knitted a top sweater from LB but this seemed so hard when I first watched this and as I kept watching it got easier and easier. Thank you as this give me lots more confidence that I CAN DO this. :)

    Absolutely love your video and the detailed explanations given. I have crocheted a turtle neck sweater but have been hesitant to knit one. Will definitely try this cardigan before I try a knitted sweater. Thanks for this tutorial.

    EXCELLENT tutorial! There is no room for doubt. Thanks so much for sharing.
    I shall attempt to knit my first garment but I need your help to determine an estimate of how many meters I would need for a sports weight yarn using a 3.5mm needle for a small size sweater. Thank you in advance. Best regards, Celeste

    • @YayForYarn

      Hi Celeste! If you use a different yarn weight (sport weight instead of the worsted weight the pattern calls for), it will affect the size of the sweater. A thinner yarn and a smaller needle will produce a smaller gauge / stitches and rows per inch. So if you follow the pattern with a thinner yarn and smaller needles, the sweater will turn out much smaller than what the finished size is supposed to be for the size you want to make. The sweater would be narrower and shorter, and the sleeves would also be narrower and shorter. To use a sport weight yarn, the pattern would need to be heavily modified. Especially if this is your first time knitting a garment, I would recommend using worsted weight yarn and working at the gauge specified in the pattern. This will help make sure your sweater turns out well and at the right size. If you want the sweater to be "lighter weight" so it can be worn in the warmer months, you might try a worsted weight cotton or linen yarn (or some other fiber that is more breathable). If you need to use the sport weight yarn, then you'll need to look for a pattern that is written for sport weight yarn. Hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any more questions!

      Yay For Yarn Thank you so much for your reply and advice! I would then stick to worsted weight yarn but in cotton. Cheers.
