Go with the Yoga Winter Sweater! I like the tapering towards the end. I am also here to continue to support you through knitting your husband a sweater! Looking forward to those results 😊
I vote silver sequins with the white-ish yarn for the straight split hem sweater. The silver and white would remind me of a feshly fallen sparkly snow since I'm OVER summer. The Grocery Girls chat fairly often about that sequin yarn, and I think Tracy, has knit at least one basic sweater with sequin yarn held with another yarn and it turned out GORGEOUS!!!
I have had the Eun sweater in my favorites for a while and had never seen the Yoga sweater before. I LOVE it! The taper is so unique. I'd pick that one - your sequin sweater will be so special!
I will be making the Eun Sweater and I’m so excited! I saw project comments that it works up fast too and starts at the collar. I’m biased but you should go with that one, such a fun design 😊
I have never heard of the yoga sweater but it looks really cool. I have the Eun sweater on my to-knit list and If I finish my fall sweaters that is definitely going to be in my needles.
I think if you're going to be adventurous with adding a little sparkle to your sweater than be adventurous and do the Yoga sweater. It may be trendy but you're young enough to pull it off! Not sure whether you watch the grocery girls but they're last 2 or 3 episodes they have shown various lace weight sequin and sparkle yarn in various patterns, might be worth checking out.
lollll your sense of humor is so on point, this episode's sarcastic moments were the best. I like the split of the Eun sweater but the huge collar on the Yoga sweater so uhhhh sorry I wasn't of any help at all.
Great video, as usual, Kendra! Firstly, you can’t go wrong with the Calderon. I knitted that cardigan a couple of years ago and count it as one of my favorite makes of all time. The textured details are so impressive (I particularly the love the sides). I like the idea of frogging that sweater (I am a serial frogger, btw) . I lean towards the Eun sweater, only because I don’t love turtlenecks, but it is true that you can customize the Yoga sweater. Also, I have noticed that when I have long slits on the sides of my sweaters, I get caught on door handles LOL. My vote in terms of sparkle yarn to use would be the gold, but I love warmer toned colors. If you lean more cool, then the silver is fantastic. Happy Autumn 🍂
I admire you so much for being able to frog sweaters that aren’t working! It makes SO much sense but I can’t bear it emotionally / often just regift the sweater. Also - excited about your future projects!
Re the Calderon, depending on where you live, you might want to lengthen the sleeves. Where I live, if it’s cold enough for a heavy wool sweater, it’s too cold to have 1/4 of your arms exposed. I have a couple 3/4 sleeve sweaters that will last forever because it’s only the correct temperature for them about two weeks a year. It looks cozy, but I have to warn about the sleeves!
Eun is a safer option: the high side split is interesting enough to make it special and extra interesting, while it is classic enough to be timeless. Yoga is much riskier, you might not love it as much as you think, and even if you do, you might not love it forever - on some project photos it looks like a bodysuit unbuttoned at the crotch and pulled out of your pants :-)
I'm sure you're going to get lots of comments asking how you could possibly frog your sweater but I say do it! If you don't wear it now, it's not doing you any good.🐸🐸
@hilarycohen1470 hi Hilary! That information is easily available via Google or through the stash on my ravelry profile. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
You do make me laugh…. With a complete feeling of “kindred spirit”… I’ve just come back to knitting after 30 years and the scary development of my stash is BEGGING me to knit faster. And one project (in a bag for 30years - eek) is destined for frogging, washing and re knitting. Cashmere - can’t afford that these days!!
"I am not a spinner but I am a frogger" I'm there here with you! 😂

The Eun sweater with the colorful sequins.
I personally feel the yoga sweater has a bit more of that Holiday vibe with the unique shaping at the split hem!

Run, don't walk, to the EUN! 😀
@@HzlEyeGal 🤣🤣 noted!
I agree EUN, I’d be concerned the other would be too pear shaped . Tracie Miller of grocery girls made a beautiful Lento with sequins
I have had the Eun sweater in my favorites for a while and had never seen the Yoga sweater before. I LOVE it! The taper is so unique. I'd pick that one - your sequin sweater will be so special!
Another vote for Eun. I like the split hem and think that silhouette would be easier to style.
I very much admire your willingness to frog projects. 🙌
Thank you!
I love the collar of the Yoga sweater! I think the gold would be very festive, but the rainbow would be cool too.
Love the yoga such a unique shape ❤
I'd go for the Eun sweater with the rainbow sequins. A classic style sweater, with a not-so-classic twist!
I like the Sunde option. How fun.

Love the Eun sweater as it would pair perfectly with skinny and wide leg jeans. Now you have me thinking about the sweater 😊
@@Preciousknits7916 right?!? It's a really wearable piece!
I would definitely choose the Eun. The tapering on the Yoga Winter Sweater would be unflattering on ANY body shape, IMO.

@@cassafrass098 🤣🤣 no worries. I'll take all the input I can get!

@@mariecarter3138 I saw your project on ravelry for the calderon. I figured since my knitting idol made it, it must be good!

@@ateaseknitting haha thanks! But gifting is a really good alternative to frogging 👌🏾
I love the Citrine light. I may have to make it.
@@VisitWithNanaAndPapa I love it too! I'll definitely make it with a different color in the future

I hadn't actually considered the practicality of the sleeve length. Thank you for mentioning that! 🤔
@@balancedskeinAnd now that I’ve finished: one vote for the gold sequins yarn! I think that would look lovely on you with the cream.
Hi Kendra! I feel called out... but after seeing my yabinet yesterday, I think you can better understand why I didn't buy yarn at Wool & Co 😂
@@halima_things 🤣🤣🤣 fair point!
I really like that H&W Weld and Vintage DK yarn. Love the Fantomas pattern. I vote for the Eun Sweater. 🧶
I can't believe you said, "Burn it!"
@susannegrant3831 just a little dark humor lol. I would never actually do that 😁

I like classic shapes better so I would pick Eun

@ShanaH414 thanks for the support! I agree, it must be done 🐸🐸🐸🐸
It would be useful if you gave the weight of the skeins. 7 x what?

@kirstymcleod6647 oh yes cashmere is such a luxury. Good thing you held on to your supplies all these years!
My Michaels has a poor yarn aisle. I seldom go there for yarn, but like you , if I’m in the area I go in and look.🧶
