Jane knocked a whambanger out of the park with this sweater! It's a great tip to mock up the pattern first. Time to finish the Cirrus! Have a lovely day! Thank you!!!
I can't sew, but I CAN use a sweater I already have as a guide! Never would have thought of doing that. :) Plus, the "outtakes" were absolutely HILARIOUS!!! I especially loved the banter between you and your husband! :D
Now that you have shown your sewing skills. The sewing world would love to know more about your finished garments! I know this podcast is primarily knitting and crochet, including your beautiful yarns!! Nonetheless, do share sometime in the future? 👏👏👏💕❄️
What a fantastic idea! I always make a muslin when I sew, but did not apply it to my knitting (bangs head on desk). Gamechanger here. Plus, it can help to pick the correct size based on the amount of ease that works for the intended recipient This makes my day. Merci, gracias, grazie!
I also sew, and since I don't really know how to read a crochet pattern - nor do I have the patience with all of the counting - I just make pieces of crocheted fabric, and sew them together according to my mind's eye, or sizing them to fit people as if they were my dress dummy, or by laying them on sewing pattern pieces to make sure they fit, with stretchability in mind and how the project should fit the intended wearer.
Is it wrong that I really enjoy the cute little names you call us? 🤗💕🤗. I opened my latest yarn order from you yesterday -. It is stunning!!!! Thank you!!!
You are such a joy to listen too, always cheery. Thank you for being you and sharing your beautiful patterns, yarn and knowledge. Love the videos: so helpful.
This is a brilliant video!! I crocheted a top that came out smaller than I needed which turned me off from garments. Whew!! Time to look towards Spring! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ugh about 59.999% of the time my fit is questionable. 🙄 LOL! Great idea! The mock up can be reused for future sweaters! Thank you, Chandi! **rummaging through fabric stash**
Great idea with sewing 😀 I am measuring my knitting projects with clothes from my closet to be sure it will fit. But I am begginner knitter so my first sweater didn't fit at all and my shawls are always too small 🤭 But I have still little problems with the same tension in whole projects 😀 Maybe same day You will create sewing tutorial Chandi? ❤️ I would love to see this 😍
Thank you again for your thoughtfulness!! But really, a newbie knitter could make this sweater??? I’m tempted, but can’t believe it’s possible…now you do have so many tips, but I’m just feeling not capable… I do crochet. But I am large busted and almost everything, 99.999%, never fits! I do sew also, beginner…tried making a pair of pants…laid on floor and traced around body…yeah…!!! That was funny! You are so encouraging! Every episode, I’m like, yeah maybe this one might work… So again, you think a newbie knitter, who is willing to be patient w the process can follow the directions and actually achieve a sweater to wear? Thanks again from a faithful follower! Blessings from TX Danielle
Great idea and it must work well because I admire everything you wear. It always fits you to a T and you look so pretty in your dresses. I was hoping one day you would maybe share some of your sewing patterns with us. 😊❤️
@@ExpressionFiberArts btw, will you carry plant fiber yarns this spring/summer. I'm in a humid climate so wool and alpaca are not best for me. Thank you so much for everything you do!!
If you’re making a mock up, be sure to use a knit fabric like jersey instead of woven fabric. Knit fabric will act more like, well, your knitted item 😊
Hi Chandi. What a great tip! Thanks so. Much for sharing it with us. Would never thought of doing that! Genius!! Beautiful pattern as well! Jane’s designs are always beautiful!! Thanks again and have a lovely weekend!💞
Loving it 💖. Thank you so much for the lovely patterns and yarn over the years. If I don't go to the yarn store. I only buy from you. Thank you for the fabulous products 💖🤗
Thank you for this great tip. I love to sew and create different styles of clothing. I’m still new to knitting but this a great idea. - Thank you again Happy Friday!!! I love your sweater.
Hi Chandi, this is so helpful I'm just a beginner knitter so a sweater isn't in my future for now I need more practice but thanks for the great tips. Have a great weekend
Wait a second... did I inspire this video?? I was just asking you about the secret to having the correct size sweater!! Lol! This is such a great video. Thanks a lot!
You sew too?! Why am i just hearing about this? If you have another channel about sewing, let me know please. I just adore Chandi, she has a very beautiful calming tone and spirit. She is a influence wonderful influence.
Thank you for the kind words. ❤️ I sew a lot and make many of the outfits that you see me wearing in these videos. I don't have a sewing channel, but I talk about my sewing projects during my Tuesday Facebook Lives.
Thank you for this tip! I don't know why I haven't thought of this before. I knitted my first sweater last year and did a gauge swatch ... I don't know what happened, it is so big!
Thank you for this innovative idea, Chandi! I used to make muslins when I sewed my clothes, so applying this practice to knitted garments makes sense. On another topic...could you *please* share with us the name of the sweater you are wearing in this video? It looks *scrumptious*!
You're welcome! I'm so glad you found it useful. I'm wearing the Marlo sweater, which I made a while ago: truebias.com/blogs/blog/introducing-the-marlo-sweater
Beautiful sweater. Question:. I don't sew, can use a sweater I already have to get the same results? Thanks so much Chandi for all you do along with your Designers and share with your viewers!!
You're very welcome! Yes, you could probably use a sweater. You'll want to use one that has the same or similar shape and fit as the pattern you're planning to make. You might also try ironing tape to get around not being able to sew.

First of all, thank you for all you do! Your free patterns, your videos and your beautiful yarns! You are such an inspiration to us all…you bring the light! Anyway, I can’t seem to find the yardage required for making this sweater without the sleeves. Is there a way to figure this out? Thanks! 🧶😍
Thank you so much! I've asked Jane to provide that information, so I can share it and will post it here once I have that. Several people have asked for the same information.
I've picked up my hats from several places over the years, but a couple of them have come from Free People. I don't really have a trick for keeping them on other than making sure the fit is good.

Since I learned how to knit by my mom, whom is a experienced knitter when I was a little girl, we never block our knitting project, but block do make the object look different.😃
You are a blessing -- every time I tune in to you, I am in a better mood when you are done charging us up!

I just use an old sweater or blouse, works great. Have even knitted and crocheting a long coat after an old coat. Just for the ones who do not sew. 😍
That's a great idea!
I’d love to get to a point where I can learn to sew my own clothes! 🥰 thanks for all your inspiration and tips!
You are so welcome! Enjoy!
I think the sewing would be more a challenging than knitting. I love that fabric she used. Sew up the hems and you have a nice long sleeve tee.
Love your smile, yarn and models ❤️

We're working on it. Thank you for the feedback.
This is a very intriguing idea! To clarify, you block the pieces while they’re on the needles? How do you do that?
You could also place the stitches on a stitch holder or scrap yarn to block them, but if you keep them on the needle, just steam or spritz block it.
This sounds like a great idea! Getting a good fit has been my biggest challenge!
Just wondering if we can use a clothing steamer for ‘blocking’?
Yes, you can steam block most fibers, although you may want to avoid steam blocking synthetic fibers, which is often irreversible.
@@ExpressionFiberArts many thanks for your quick reply! Will definitely try this.✌️
