Oh my little Lady, I’m 85 yrs old, been knitting since I learned at school in Scotland age 7. I knit every day since was taught and enjoy it immensely. Looks like you like me have made knitting your passion. Your work is very beautiful. Keep knitting Sweetheart,your a wonderful young Lady. God Bless. 🏴🇨🇦🥰
I too am a senior citizen at the age of 74. I have been knitting since I was about 10 as back on the 50’s and 60’s knitting garments for our family was a necessity. I really enjoy watching this podcast and I agree with you that this young lady has a wonderful passion for this craft and is a delight to watch and follow. Happy knitting to you! 🇨🇦😊
I LOVE these 2 comments~!! I only just learned to knit about 5 years ago when I was 50. I'm self taught and although I'm left handed I decided to overcome that and learn to knit right handed. Most patterns and especially videos are right handed~I didn't want to have to deal with watching it "backwards" and then converting it in my head first~!! I've been told by many that I'm a natural and my work is beautiful. All I know is I LOVE knitting and for the last 5 years I've knit for several hours a day EVERY day. My grand mother was an AVID knitter and tried to teach me when I was a child. The left handed/right handed dilemma made it impossible and I lost interest. If she was still here I think she'd be so proud to see what I can do now~!!
I ended up getting a little pot with 8 bits of pasta (uncooked obviously 😂) and every time I finished a row and took the pasta out of the pot, increased when they were all out, then did the opposite. It definitely helped!!
@@a.friedrichs267I’m a newish knitter and I used My Row Counter app to set up the entire pattern, increases and decreases. It made it so simple - I’ve made 4 using the app. :)
I don’t know if any body else agrees with me, but I actually want people to know my knits are home made and no mass produced. To me it shows that one it’s not cheap, two it’s usually made from natural expensive fibres and three it’s such a talent!! I deliberately change patterns add things so it def looks like a gorgeous home made Sweater ❤
I really liked this video. It's very cool that you made so many of these patterns and all of them are now in one place to reference. I love PetiteKnit designs. They are easy to start your garment journey with. They almost always successfully no matter what size you are, and I'm on a larger size and finding pattern that works for me is very hard. Especially in the beginning when the large or large size is such an investment with time and money. PetiteKnit never failed. That's why I love it. Thank you for this ranking. ❤️❤️❤️
watching this while knitting the Monday sweater as my first ever sweater project! seeing you put it as your favourite petiteknit pattern just validates my choice even more :)
I loved this video. Your podcasts have become one of my favorite because you don’t waste time w mindless chatter. You talk about knitting, which I love! So thank you for your podcast! I would like to see a list of simple summer tops to knit.
I’d love more videos like this! Ranking all your sweaters or all your warm weather knits sounds really interesting - I think you give really detailed and useful information about patterns and yarns and as a beginning knitter who is interested in deciding what to knit next these are really useful and interesting!
I love that you made this particular video. So many times I will find a pattern that I love the look of and i buy it only to find out that it's difficult to follow, or I don't like the construction or some other reason that I never knit it. Such a waste of money. I have looked at PetiteKnit patterns a lot and often wondered how they are to knit. Because of this video I can see myself purchasing a few patterns!! Thank you so much Amy.😃
I really like the Anker's Summer Shirt and I went to the Petite Knit website but can't figure out the difference between that one and the Anker Tee....do you know?
With the weekend hat, knit a size bigger, or size up your needles half a size. Omit the double knitting, and knit the brim shorter without folding it over twice. I modified my weekend hat like this because I knit it to pattern and blocked it hoping it would iron out any misgivings I had about it. The blocking didn't help and I looked ridiculous with the double folded brim with the double knitting that just made it tight and unstretchy so I ripped everything out to start again differently. I love my modified weekend hat now, and have made several more with the same mods. Ofc that just underlines the point that I don't think it's a great pattern, but I used the cast on counts and the decrease guidelines, so the pattern is worth something - at least to an intermediate knitter.
Great tips! I'll have to try them if I knit another. I agree that having the stitch counts and decreases mapped out for you already can make a pattern worth it. I don't like figuring out those things on my own!
Super helpful summary of your PetitKnit knits. I have been mightily influenced by you in diving into Sari Nordlund and PetiteKnit patterns, for which I am thankful. Audrey Top, Moby Sweater and now also the Monday Sweater are in my queue for this year. Thanks for sharing your insight!
I’m knitting the sophie scarf now (actually while watching this video!) and i’ve been using a post it to keep my rows and then tallying how many groups of 8 i’ve done on the side. I’ve knit the whole scarf today!
Loved this video and would really like to see more in the future. Like you mentioned, I would like to see all of your sweaters ranked. As a new knitter who loves to make garments, it would be so helpful! Xoxo
Great episode Amy. I totally enjoyed it. I made the Jenny Jacket using same yarn you used for the Moby sweater. it's beautiful but it is a heavy, warm garment. The Jenny Jacket has the smocking stitch which is a bit bulky. For future videos I'd like to hear you talk about yarns - how you improved your knowledge and how you go about shopping for it. Thanks for a great video today.
I appreciate your detailed information about the patterns and yarns you've used which is very helpful if considering knitting the patterns. I went to a local yarn store near where I live for the first time last week. They had some Sandnes Garn Line yarn and the Anker's Summer Shirt pattern was displayed by the yarn. It's interesting, I'd never heard of PetiteKnit until your videos, and now the yarn store had the PetiteKnit pattern by their yarn. I think I will knit that pattern and it was good to hear what you did and didn't like about it.
My favorites are your Moby and Monday sweaters. I agree that the Sophie Scarf is not a mindless project! Love your nail polish. 💅🏾 The colors of your Oslo Sweater and Poppy Sweater are stunning!
I never comment on videos but after watching this video as someone who wants to get serious about knitting, I was so impressed by your talent! Your work is absolutely stunning! You've inspired me to believe that we can create beautiful things! Definitely subscribed!
I found this video SO helpful, interesting and fun: so thank you!! It is very useful for me to be able to make comparisons based on some similar likes and dislikes we have, as well as hearing your varying opinions- this makes me feel much better informed when trying to make a pattern or yarn decision.
Mark rows on garter/icord with a pin. I put a small light bulb pin each time I increased (or decreased) which made it SO SO SOOOOO much easier! I made mine a bit wider and a bit longer... I don't like the 1950s bandana look (or the way it feels on my neck) hence my using the small shawl version instead of the neckerchief. I tie the ends, loop it around my neck twice and, up in Maine, LOVE IT! So it's a do your own thing sort of thing!
This is a great video, thank you. I also really like Petite Knit and I appreciate seeing what you’ve knit from her patterns and your comments. Your knitting is beautiful and inspiring.
Now I must add the Monday Sweater to my list! The Sophie Scarf gets a D in my book; not only is it not mindless, but it is also extremely boring to knit, in my opinion. I am almost done with one I started a long time ago-I will finish it just because. The Anker Sweater never made it off my needles. Still hanging out somewhere in a WIP pile, because…..you guessed it! The yoke looks so messy to me. The Storm Sweater has been swatched a couple of times without getting gauge, so, there it remains. I do love it and want to knit it. I will try the baby size. Enjoyed this video a lot! Great idea!
Love this video, thank you! There are so many different patterns and I find it really hard to choose. I started knitting just a few weeks ago and the Sophie scarf was the first pattern I bought. Actually, I really loved knitting it! I knitted about nine scarfs and gifted them to friends and family for Christmas. Tomorrow I am going to buy wool for my first attempt on knitting a sweater...
Enjoyed your podcast, seeing your beautiful sweaters, sharing which yarns you used, and describing shape and ease considerations. You’re very talented!
Loved hearing about your Monday sweater! I just bought this pattern and am about to knit it up. I came looking on youtube for videos with feedback on it and found yours! Now I'm even more excited to knit it and watch more of your videos! Thank you!!! :D :)
Love this video. Really would like to see all the ones you mentioned. Yarns being the top of the list for next one. Newer garment knitter and don't know much about how different yarns knit up or their wearability for which patterns.
I knit the Monday Sweater this winter, because I had seen it in your video. And I loooove it and lived in it as long as the weather was cold. It has an amazing fit. I think I wouldn't have considered this pattern before without havin seen yours. Now I already thought about the April Cardigan as one of my next knits, and after this video I'm convined it'll be!
I like these rating videos where you tell what you liked and didn’t like. I would also love to hear how different yarns compare in texture, wearability and prices. Not just all the expensive yarns. I can never afford $30 for a skein of yarn. Thanks for all the time you put into your videos.🧶
This was fantastic! I so enjoyed seeing how your amazing projects turned out. I’m a Petite Knit fan too and I made the No Friils pullover. Your description made me want to do the Monday sweater as well, even though they don’t look really different. Your knitting is gorgeous and the video is so well organized and snappy, really fun to watch! The rating system was a nice touch and you were clear on why each project received a certain rating. Well done and thank you. 35:51
Loved this video! Thanks ❤ I also really like a lot of the Petite knit patterns! I would love to see your take on yarns and there costs!! Thanks for sharing all your projects and information! I just retired and have more time to knit and work on my other hobbies! You are amazing on all your podcasts 😊
Love this video! You have such a calm and friendly vibe, it’s just what I was looking for! Also appreciate the detail of the yarn etc when you went through the garments
Hi Amy. I really enjoyed hearing your opinion on some of the Petite Knit patterns. It was very informative and I think I might knit up a Monday sweater. I would love to hear a yarn ranking video. I could learn a lot about what type and weight of yarn would look the best with a pattern.
I just found your channel and truly enjoyed this particular video as I now have 4 petit knit patterns that I want to try. I am currently making the Sunday Tee and am too early into the process to give an opinion. I live in Western Massachusetts, so it is nice to see someone from my state, who knits and is on UA-cam. Looking forward to more videos.
Great review thanks Amy. Really helpful advice, especially the mohair Oslo as I haven't bought as yet. Monday sweater......will give it a go! Your grey April cardigan, you look amazing it. Love your double knit button band. 🥰
You are an amazing knitter! I know the patterns help - petiteknit patterns lean toward a store bought look. But you definitely have an eye for color, texture, etc. Thanks for sharing your projects.
Well done! The Anker summer shirt was my first PK too! I finished the Ingrid Pullover and am currently knitting the Man’s Zipper Sweater for my husband. I like that the designs are classic and will be fashionable for years to come (love that Danish “casual” aesthetic), and the patterns use techniques to make the fit look great. I see more in my future, especially the Monday Sweater! Thanks for taking the time to do this!
This was so fun to watch. The Monday sweater is now in my queue when it had not been even on my radar before. I am currently knitting my first petiteknit pattern - the Friday Slipover. It was encouraging to hear it got a good rating in your estimation.
Thank you for an amazing video! I was looking for an easy, chill, yet satisfying project for my upcoming holiday and now I know: it will be the Monday sweater 🥰 i am looking forward to hear about your most- and least favourite yarns 🤗
This video was hugely helpful as another Petite Knit follower. I’ve knit many of her patterns-so far the Cumulus Blouse O-Neck has been my fav! TY for such comprehensive insight!
Great video! I've knit several Petite knit patterns but the Ingrid sweater was the most enjoyable for me and it fits just right. Definitely putting the Monday sweater at the top of my list! Thanks for the rec.
I also have knit so many Oslo hats and love it when people don't realize they're handknit. i made thr Audrey top in Knitting for Olive pure silk and for my body I like it with less ease than suggested. If you liked the shoulder shaping on the Poppy Tee i highly recommend checking out Ozetta Knits pattern's, she does so similar, very cool shoulder constructions
Hello from North Shore MA! This was fun to watch and your knits are beautiful. I've only made one PetiteKnit pattern so far (the Champagne Cardigan) but it's one of my most worn pieces. This video is making me want to try more of her patterns for sure!
Fabulous video. Loved it and took many notes. I knit the Aros and thought the shoulder design fit me to a tee so would highly recommend. Would love to see more of yarn you have used multiple times., analysis of best raglan, other designers, etc. Thank you so much for all the time you put into your videos.
Great video! Enjoyed hearing why you ranked them as you did. Warm weather knits would be a timely video as I am starting to think about summer knits that I would want to wear in the summer. Thanks again for the planning and thought you put into your videos.
Thank you for a nice podcast. I love Petite Knits pattern aesthetic too, and I enjoyed hearing what you had to say about your many projects. I felt the same way about the Sofie scarf, and I have a Sofie scarf UFO somewhere in my project bags. Of her other patterns I have only done one Oslo so far that was a gift and this winter I will make one for me. I own some of her other patterns and your feedback on some of them have given me some indication of how I will go about them, so thank you. Cheers.
Thank you for this video. So glad I found you! PetiteKnit is my favourite designer. I would also rank my Monday Sweater at the top of my projects and my Weekend Hat at the absolute bottom. I thought your comments about her designs were spot on. Presently doing the sleeves on her Eva Cardigan and have just joined the front and back on the Stockholm Slipover. I think that uses the same shoulder construction as the Poppy Tee. Anyway, thank you again and happy knitting!
Great video. Have been waffling between champagne and april cardigan, so really fun to see that you liked the april cardigan. Would love to see a ranking of all the hats you have made!
You're honestly so right about the Sophie scarf. I made 2 and I do like to wear them because they're less bulky if I want to wear a scarf when it's not really cold but super windy, but knitting them was so stressful. I had to actually use a row counter for it, and I kept forgetting to add the rows. I think they're so pretty, but I definitely don't think I will make another one either
I have the same obsession with top down raglan lol. Easy peasy lemon-squeezy and they always look good on me. Thanks for your wonderful reviews of these patterns!
Can you suggest any good patterns for a intermediate beginner. I have practised on 3 toddler jumpers but no short rows yet! I think I need to practice on my short rows! Thank-you for any advice 😊
Great concept! Finally joining the Petite Knit band wagon with the Cloud Sweater so this was great to watch. I’m sure you’ll come up with some great ideas for future “ category “ episodes!
This was interesting, i have found as someone with more a more curvy body that less positive easy works for me in pk patterns, i tend to pick my bust size to fit which gives positive ease in other places.
This video was so helpful! It was reassuring to find you had the same experience with some PetiteKnit designs as I did, and I've now added the Monday sweater to my future project list 🙂
I really enjoyed this video and love your suggestions of ranking al your sweaters, all your knits in a certain weight of yarn etc. I look forward to your weekly videos. Thank you
This video is immensely helpful. I am going to bookmark it so I can come back to it for your yarn choices and all the specifics you provide. I agree with the other comment that a list of your favourite yarns would be amazing. Subscribed!!
Great video! I also been making garments about as long as you have and have made a good number of petiteknit patterns. I love my Oslo sweater and my Monday sweater. My most worn sweater is the Melange sweater. Most recently, I made two No Frills - one with the recommended ease, which is quite oversized, and one where I sized down. I agree with you regarding the Weekend Hat - fun to knit, but a little too snug on my head and the fold doesn't lay quite right. I appreciate the feedback on the zipper sweater and the April cardigan. I will skip the sweater and will probably make the cardi sometime!
Just in time thank you thank you! I have been tossing up between the October Sweater and the Monday Sweater and you just made up my mind! Thank you again your advice is invaluable to us novice knitting 🧶
This was such a great and in depth video of PetiteKnit's patterns! I'm currently knitting her chunky novice cardigan and really wanted to knit one of her sweaters as well. I think I'm sold on the monday sweater now
Great video! I have knit many petiteknit patterns and so far they all rank between S and B. My style is very minimalistic so its just a good fit. When it comes to the Sophie scarf it is an S for me. I did make the tiny version twice and I do wear them sometimes as a styling piece. But then I made a bunch more in different sizes and different yarns and also adjusting the increase/decrease rates. My favourite scarf is in cashmere and wraps around my neck twice and then ties. Probably slightly bigger than the larger scarf size. And then I have one that is a bit smaller than the small sophie shawl. Also love that. And my gifted ones are also well loved. I think the pattern is a great one to adjust to your needs and wants. I am going to knit a big one in nutiden for next season.
Thank you for this video. Many Petite Knit patterns look so similar in the thumbnails in Ravelry, so it is a bother to pull each up and figure out how it is different from another. Your knit parade had very useful descriptions and opinions and helped show the differences. Many thanks! And I subscribed to your channel.
Okay, this is an incredible idea! Might have to steal it at some point. Can you imagine used for a everything I knit in a year?! Haven't even watched yet and I'm already excited haha.
Hi! I’m a knitter from Sweden and I accidentally slipped over your video. I enjoyed it really much! I’m about to knit a sweater with fingering yarn and mohair (I have already knitted a No Frills sweater) and now you made me curious to try on the pattern for Monday Sweater! Keep on knitting (and posting videos!) Greetings from Anja in Stockholm
Thank you! I really loved this video. I’ve never knit a Petite Knit’s pattern, although I like them. I think I’ll follow your grading to pick one as my next sweater project.
Thank you for a very thought through & informative video! Loved to hear your thoughts on petiteknit patterns. I like the colour of your weekend hat on you - it suits you very nicely! Have you thought of ribbing it back and fix the issues?
Thanks! I rarely rip back hats because they're such small projects. To remove the double knitting would almost be starting over the entire project! I'll keep it as I do wear it occasionally, just not as much as my other beanies.
This was great! Please share your thoughts on yarns, patterns by designer or category. It’s very helpful to me. I start and abandon projects frequently and the information you shared helps me know what I would be getting into.
Great video ! And it was really fun to listen to while working on a Sophie scarf 😂 Personally I really like them (made two for my mom and this is the second one for myself), I just write down each row as soon as it’s completed and it’s perfect to have a scarf in my bag when I’m unsure the temperatures. Thank you for this review!
Awesome episode! I'm always left wondering how different the PK patterns are, really, based on photos alone. Now I know a bit more about the construction differences that'll help me decide which to knit in the future!
Great episode! I love PetiteKnit patterns and I am currently working on the Cumulus Blouse. I have made some of her hats and I agree about the turning rounds but I love them anyway.
I really enjoyed this video! And I have added a couple of your recommended patterns to my Ravelry queue. So far, I have only knitted one pattern from PetiteKnit, the Sunday Cardigan. It is a great pattern as well! I would like to see a video in which you rank your sweaters, cardigans or yarns! 😊
Wonderful video. (I think all of your videos are great!) Lots of these are in my favorites so maybe now I will actually make one- or more! Thanks for the inspiration.

I'd love a yarn tier list! I'm always overwhelmed by the choices out there and I'm curious about your faves
Yes, and especially if you include prices, that world be very helpful Thanks
D rating for the Sophie scarf - 100% yes, lol. It was so hard to keep track - drove me bananas.
I ended up getting a little pot with 8 bits of pasta (uncooked obviously 😂) and every time I finished a row and took the pasta out of the pot, increased when they were all out, then did the opposite. It definitely helped!!
Brilliant!@@yorkshirenome
Me too….It was driving me nuts and i just gave up…required too much concentration. I tried it twice but never again.
Oh nooo, I just recommended the Sophie Scarf pattern to a new knitter. I hope I don't scare her off knitting forever now.... ;D
@@a.friedrichs267I’m a newish knitter and I used My Row Counter app to set up the entire pattern, increases and decreases. It made it so simple - I’ve made 4 using the app. :)

Thanks for the video. I appreciate how well organized and informative your videos are, great job 👍🧶🇨🇦

This was fantastic! I so enjoyed seeing how your amazing projects turned out. I’m a Petite Knit fan too and I made the No Friils pullover. Your description made me want to do the Monday sweater as well, even though they don’t look really different.
Your knitting is gorgeous and the video is so well organized and snappy, really fun to watch! The rating system was a nice touch and you were clear on why each project received a certain rating. Well done and thank you. 35:51
Loved this video! Thanks ❤ I also really like a lot of the Petite knit patterns! I would love to see your take on yarns and there costs!! Thanks for sharing all your projects and information! I just retired and have more time to knit and work on my other hobbies! You are amazing on all your podcasts 😊
Love this video! You have such a calm and friendly vibe, it’s just what I was looking for! Also appreciate the detail of the yarn etc when you went through the garments
Hi Amy. I really enjoyed hearing your opinion on some of the Petite Knit patterns. It was very informative and I think I might knit up a Monday sweater. I would love to hear a yarn ranking video. I could learn a lot about what type and weight of yarn would look the best with a pattern.
I just found your channel and truly enjoyed this particular video as I now have 4 petit knit patterns that I want to try. I am currently making the Sunday Tee and am too early into the process to give an opinion. I live in Western Massachusetts, so it is nice to see someone from my state, who knits and is on UA-cam. Looking forward to more videos.
Great review thanks Amy. Really helpful advice, especially the mohair Oslo as I haven't bought as yet. Monday sweater......will give it a go! Your grey April cardigan, you look amazing it. Love your double knit button band. 🥰
Thank you!
You are an amazing knitter! I know the patterns help - petiteknit patterns lean toward a store bought look. But you definitely have an eye for color, texture, etc. Thanks for sharing your projects.
Well done! The Anker summer shirt was my first PK too! I finished the Ingrid Pullover and am currently knitting the Man’s Zipper Sweater for my husband. I like that the designs are classic and will be fashionable for years to come (love that Danish “casual” aesthetic), and the patterns use techniques to make the fit look great. I see more in my future, especially the Monday Sweater! Thanks for taking the time to do this!
This was so fun to watch. The Monday sweater is now in my queue when it had not been even on my radar before. I am currently knitting my first petiteknit pattern - the Friday Slipover. It was encouraging to hear it got a good rating in your estimation.
I’m adding the Monday sweater to my queue as well 😊 #influenced
I’m so tempted to cast on the April cardigan after watching this video!! 🙈 loved seeing all your pieces they all look so great!!
Thank you for an amazing video! I was looking for an easy, chill, yet satisfying project for my upcoming holiday and now I know: it will be the Monday sweater 🥰 i am looking forward to hear about your most- and least favourite yarns 🤗
This video was hugely helpful as another Petite Knit follower. I’ve knit many of her patterns-so far the Cumulus Blouse O-Neck has been my fav! TY for such comprehensive insight!
Great video! I've knit several Petite knit patterns but the Ingrid sweater was the most enjoyable for me and it fits just right. Definitely putting the Monday sweater at the top of my list! Thanks for the rec.
I also have knit so many Oslo hats and love it when people don't realize they're handknit. i made thr Audrey top in Knitting for Olive pure silk and for my body I like it with less ease than suggested. If you liked the shoulder shaping on the Poppy Tee i highly recommend checking out Ozetta Knits pattern's, she does so similar, very cool shoulder constructions
Hello from North Shore MA! This was fun to watch and your knits are beautiful. I've only made one PetiteKnit pattern so far (the Champagne Cardigan) but it's one of my most worn pieces. This video is making me want to try more of her patterns for sure!
Fabulous video. Loved it and took many notes. I knit the Aros and thought the shoulder design fit me to a tee so would highly recommend. Would love to see more of yarn you have used multiple times., analysis of best raglan, other designers, etc. Thank you so much for all the time you put into your videos.
Loved this video! And your honesty. I think this would be a great series, maybe a Sari Nordlund special?
Ooo! Maybe next year after I finish all my Sari WIPs 😂
Great video! Enjoyed hearing why you ranked them as you did. Warm weather knits would be a timely video as I am starting to think about summer knits that I would want to wear in the summer. Thanks again for the planning and thought you put into your videos.
A very informative video, thoroughly enjoyed it. It is helpful to hear a more experienced garment knitters opinions on patterns. Thanks so much.
Thank you for a nice podcast. I love Petite Knits pattern aesthetic too, and I enjoyed hearing what you had to say about your many projects. I felt the same way about the Sofie scarf, and I have a Sofie scarf UFO somewhere in my project bags. Of her other patterns I have only done one Oslo so far that was a gift and this winter I will make one for me. I own some of her other patterns and your feedback on some of them have given me some indication of how I will go about them, so thank you. Cheers.
Thank you for this video. So glad I found you! PetiteKnit is my favourite designer. I would also rank my Monday Sweater at the top of my projects and my Weekend Hat at the absolute bottom. I thought your comments about her designs were spot on. Presently doing the sleeves on her Eva Cardigan and have just joined the front and back on the Stockholm Slipover. I think that uses the same shoulder construction as the Poppy Tee. Anyway, thank you again and happy knitting!
Great video. Have been waffling between champagne and april cardigan, so really fun to see that you liked the april cardigan. Would love to see a ranking of all the hats you have made!
Thank you! I haven’t knit a Petite Knit pattern yet but am a huge fan of her style. This was very helpful. Now to choose…😃
You're honestly so right about the Sophie scarf. I made 2 and I do like to wear them because they're less bulky if I want to wear a scarf when it's not really cold but super windy, but knitting them was so stressful. I had to actually use a row counter for it, and I kept forgetting to add the rows. I think they're so pretty, but I definitely don't think I will make another one either
I have the same obsession with top down raglan lol. Easy peasy lemon-squeezy and they always look good on me. Thanks for your wonderful reviews of these patterns!
Can you suggest any good patterns for a intermediate beginner. I have practised on 3 toddler jumpers but no short rows yet! I think I need to practice on my short rows! Thank-you for any advice 😊
Would love to see all odds your other sweaters ranked. Eagerly await your videos.
Great concept! Finally joining the Petite Knit band wagon with the Cloud Sweater so this was great to watch. I’m sure you’ll come up with some great ideas for future “ category “ episodes!
This was interesting, i have found as someone with more a more curvy body that less positive easy works for me in pk patterns, i tend to pick my bust size to fit which gives positive ease in other places.
This video was so helpful! It was reassuring to find you had the same experience with some PetiteKnit designs as I did, and I've now added the Monday sweater to my future project list 🙂
I really enjoyed this video and love your suggestions of ranking al your sweaters, all your knits in a certain weight of yarn etc. I look forward to your weekly videos. Thank you
It's like you read my mind! I've been waffling about choosing another petite knit pattern, so I need this.
So excited for this video! Need to make myself a big cup of tea and enjoy 😍
This video was so helpful! I have been scrolling through some different Petite Knit patterns to start next and this helped me narrow down my choices!
This video is immensely helpful. I am going to bookmark it so I can come back to it for your yarn choices and all the specifics you provide. I agree with the other comment that a list of your favourite yarns would be amazing. Subscribed!!
Great video! I also been making garments about as long as you have and have made a good number of petiteknit patterns. I love my Oslo sweater and my Monday sweater. My most worn sweater is the Melange sweater. Most recently, I made two No Frills - one with the recommended ease, which is quite oversized, and one where I sized down. I agree with you regarding the Weekend Hat - fun to knit, but a little too snug on my head and the fold doesn't lay quite right. I appreciate the feedback on the zipper sweater and the April cardigan. I will skip the sweater and will probably make the cardi sometime!
Just in time thank you thank you! I have been tossing up between the October Sweater and the Monday Sweater and you just made up my mind! Thank you again your advice is invaluable to us novice knitting 🧶
This was such a great and in depth video of PetiteKnit's patterns! I'm currently knitting her chunky novice cardigan and really wanted to knit one of her sweaters as well. I think I'm sold on the monday sweater now
Loved your ratings. Please do more.
Great video! I have knit many petiteknit patterns and so far they all rank between S and B. My style is very minimalistic so its just a good fit. When it comes to the Sophie scarf it is an S for me. I did make the tiny version twice and I do wear them sometimes as a styling piece. But then I made a bunch more in different sizes and different yarns and also adjusting the increase/decrease rates. My favourite scarf is in cashmere and wraps around my neck twice and then ties. Probably slightly bigger than the larger scarf size. And then I have one that is a bit smaller than the small sophie shawl. Also love that. And my gifted ones are also well loved. I think the pattern is a great one to adjust to your needs and wants. I am going to knit a big one in nutiden for next season.
Love that!
Great video! Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts on the different patterns. Would like to see a video of all of your summer knits next ❤
Omg suuuuch a good video idea!!! Love it
I love your videos and your confidence you have on camera. I would love to see a video of you rating yarns that you have tried!
Thank you for this video. Many Petite Knit patterns look so similar in the thumbnails in Ravelry, so it is a bother to pull each up and figure out how it is different from another. Your knit parade had very useful descriptions and opinions and helped show the differences. Many thanks! And I subscribed to your channel.
Thank you! A very helpful video and I agree totally with your Sophie scarf opinion , Bridget
That was fun to watch, also just as a good round-up of different Petit Knit Patterns & their construction :-)
Okay, this is an incredible idea! Might have to steal it at some point. Can you imagine used for a everything I knit in a year?! Haven't even watched yet and I'm already excited haha.
Go for it!! Would love to see more "rankings" or comparisons from the knitting community!
Hi! I’m a knitter from Sweden and I accidentally slipped over your video. I enjoyed it really much! I’m about to knit a sweater with fingering yarn and mohair (I have already knitted a No Frills sweater) and now you made me curious to try on the pattern for Monday Sweater! Keep on knitting (and posting videos!) Greetings from Anja in Stockholm
Thank you! I really loved this video. I’ve never knit a Petite Knit’s pattern, although I like them. I think I’ll follow your grading to pick one as my next sweater project.
Thanks a lot . I am thinking of buying a petiteknit pattern. I don't like over sized patterns. Your video helped me to narrow my choice.
That was so helpful! Thank you! I’d love another review with the same format - it is fun and informative. ❤
Thank you for a very thought through & informative video! Loved to hear your thoughts on petiteknit patterns.
I like the colour of your weekend hat on you - it suits you very nicely! Have you thought of ribbing it back and fix the issues?
Thanks! I rarely rip back hats because they're such small projects. To remove the double knitting would almost be starting over the entire project! I'll keep it as I do wear it occasionally, just not as much as my other beanies.
Great video. I also knit a lot of PetiteKnit designs and love them. Monday Sweater is also a favourite of mine.
This was great. The Monday sweater is my only Petite Knit pattern so far, so looks like I did well!
This was great! Please share your thoughts on yarns, patterns by designer or category. It’s very helpful to me. I start and abandon projects frequently and the information you shared helps me know what I would be getting into.
This was great! Loved the concept of ranking sweaters. I am currently knitting the Monday Sweater and really love it so far.
Great video ! And it was really fun to listen to while working on a Sophie scarf 😂 Personally I really like them (made two for my mom and this is the second one for myself), I just write down each row as soon as it’s completed and it’s perfect to have a scarf in my bag when I’m unsure the temperatures. Thank you for this review!
Awesome episode! I'm always left wondering how different the PK patterns are, really, based on photos alone. Now I know a bit more about the construction differences that'll help me decide which to knit in the future!
Great episode! I love PetiteKnit patterns and I am currently working on the Cumulus Blouse. I have made some of her hats and I agree about the turning rounds but I love them anyway.
Such a great video concept!
I really enjoyed this video! And I have added a couple of your recommended patterns to my Ravelry queue.
So far, I have only knitted one pattern from PetiteKnit, the Sunday Cardigan. It is a great pattern as well!
I would like to see a video in which you rank your sweaters, cardigans or yarns! 😊
Wonderful video. (I think all of your videos are great!) Lots of these are in my favorites so maybe now I will actually make one- or more! Thanks for the inspiration.
Enjoyed this episode. You helped me decide to make the Monday sweater.
oh pls can you rank your favourite yarns? I love this style of videos.
