    I have wanted to do a sweater and have waited for the right pattern. I have had the typical avoidance approach as do many. I not only love the way you teach but appreciate so much that you shared everything on the tutorial. It seems many pattern designers do not share the whole instruction in a tutorial out of fear that one will not purchase the pattern. I feel just the opposite. Because you did the detailed tutorial, I did purchase you pattern because I know that I have a place to go for step by step support. Keep up your wonderful approach and thank you for being there for us beginner sweater knitters.

    I just finished this today! I used the yarn cascade 220 in a beautiful purple color. I also used a size US 5 needle for the collar and ribbing as I tend to knit more tightly and that’s how I got gauge. It came out perfectly!! The video tutorials are SO helpful! I just started the Darling Cardigan today as well. I feel so grateful for all the work you put into making great patterns and video tutorials . Thank you!!

    I love this jumper, bought the pattern and now watching and rewatching this tutorial, whilst slowly knitting it. I actually knitted the collar and the first German short row so far.
    I used to knit a lot when I was a teenager in the 70s' and lost a bit of confidence in my ability as I grew older. Thank you for your brilliant instructions, they help me a lot to try and enjoy this great hobby again.
    Thank you Kika and please carry on doing these great patterns and tutorials - you are star. ⭐

    Very nice pattern, love it.
    A tip for the Italian Bind off so that you don't have a gap at the end. Before you start bind off, place a removable stitch marker through the first 2 stitches on your left needle. The bind off starts here with 1 knit stitch and then a purl stitch, you do the bind off as usual until you have 2 stitches left on your right needle (a knit stitch and a purl stitch), now you insert the tapestry needle on the right the knit stitch on your right needle and purl through the knit stitch on your removable stitch marker and slip the stitch from your right needle and pull the working thread through. Now insert the tapestry needle purlwise through the purl stitch on your right needle and go in the back through the 2 stitches on your removable stitch marker and go right through the purl stitch of the removable stitch marker and slip the last stitch from your right needle and pull the working thread through while removing the removable stitch marker. Everything fits together nicely and you no longer have a gap. Sew in the working thread. Greetings Inge

    I just love watching these tutorials Kika, I am not much of a knitter but my mum and my Nan were always knitting something or another, especially when the grandchildren started arriving. I don’t think my daughter ever had a shop bought cardi, my mum made them all.
    You have inspired me to start knitting again, I will start small and go from there….so thank you for inspiring me💕. Your baby bump is really looking amazing, I bet you and Juki. are so excited for little one to arrive ❤️ Thank you so much as usual for sharing with us, I know they take so much time to produce and post these videos so I appreciate that.
    Have a lovely week, enjoy the autumn season

    This couldn't be any more timely. I have another sweater (bottom up) that I am just getting to the point that has german short rows. I've been delaying finishing this because I am so confused by these. This was so helpful. Seeing it done in a project and not just a swatch was so helpful. Thank you so much for walking us through this.

    the simply constructed knit top, I've been doing that same loved basic construction for years. fun thing about this style knitting, you can play around with the length of the body and the arms and no sewing. currently working on one with two strands of alpaca and marino blends of yarn, being a lighter weight but fluffy and warm

But im so nervous with all the cables and design 😂 i JUST finished my first pair of socks..... it took me a year 😅( to be fair I'm a sahm and mynschedule os always booked) anywho i would literally put your videos on to calm me down. I love listening to you explain knitting while i cook. (To me its better than some random show lol 😅) anywho i was so nervous to knit the cables but now this i can do. 😂 and you make it easy. Ill be going to hobby lobby tomorrow. But i dont know what yarn to pick from 😂 you have such great style. And know what looks good together. I neber tried the alpaca silk and idk if HObbh lobby has it there but ill try! Im excited !!!

  • @mevsv6103
    @mevsv6103 5 місяців тому

    Well, it certainly isn’t exactly the clearest explanation of German short rows, but one does learn the placement of the beginning and ending points of the short rows, I.e., the sleeve stitches are included in the short row sections, so, in my understanding at least one stitch past the raglan increase into the front. This is all really tricky. I will look to other videos for actually making those GSR stitches. I am also thinking I may want to shorten the depth of my armholes. All that said, it is an extremely charming presentation from which I learned several things. Especially about yarn choices & what I do with those fingering weight yarns that I purchases & then avoided due to how long it would take d take me to make a whole sweater out of them. So, thanks for a cheerful uplift on a dark winters day .😊

    Thank you for us new fitted knitting. I make my first sweater which was a bit too big and a coots tee shirt which was nice. Both I did with tutorials because I am insecure. I love I can buy the pattern and have you hold our hands a bit. Since you are doing a speckled yarn do you feel the need to helical method incase the speckled yarn is different for every skein? I didn’t watch the whole episode yet so not sure you addressed this. Thanks again, Judy
