    TRYING ON ALL MY HANDMADE KNITS (+tips and inspiration)
    Let me know which of the knits is your favorite in the comments below! 😀
    You know I'm a passionate knitter, and today I thought I'd try on all the knitted sweaters and cardigans I've knitted over the years... which is A LOT of knits :D
    Knitting is such an addicitive hobby, and over the years I've learned so much through a lot of trials and errors, and slowly I've found my knitting style.
    In the beginning I was really into using a lot of vibrant colors, and went through a phase of knitting lots of laces and cables, nowadays I'm more into a neutral color palette and making knits that are easier to wear.
    Some of my favorite brands of yarns to use are Sandes Garn (mentioned in the video is the Brushed Alpaca yarn), and for a more affordable option I love Garnstudio Drops.
    Hope you enjoy this video! 🧶

    The part where you said you lose interest at the end of a project and toss it to the side is 100% me! I have ADHD and I get so hyped during 75% of the process and that last 25% kills me and by the time I done I’m over it and it doesn’t feel like an accomplishment even 🙄 which you’re right, it’s so annoying!

    • @annmariebusu9924

      I'm the exact opposite! Starting out I think I still have sooooo much to do, I lose motivation. But when it's almost finished I can't wait to see it done

    You can ALWAYS adjust an existing knit, especially if you want it shorter. Simply mark a line, cut it, then pick up the stitches and bind them off, or add another rib. Easy, peasy! You can do it!! Thanks so much for letting us see your process.

    Dear Kika,
    When I watched your wedding dress knitting sprint video I really felt that suspense ) and worried about the deadline haha. I didn’t know what a mature knitter you are. These earlier works really show the progress and I totally love what you’re doing now. Keep creating!

  • @LeaGoesGreen
    @LeaGoesGreen 3 роки тому +24

    "I've calmed myself down after my wild years of knitting" haha love it. I've always been curious about your knits, the grey "chunky collar" and pink cardi with pockets are my favorites! Never been able to knit more than a straight scarf in the past but maybe I'll get back into it one of these days, because it's so hard to find THE perfect sweater in stores!

    • @ninaweddletullis9606
      @ninaweddletullis9606 Рік тому

      Some colors are really wild. I like my sweaters long so those would be ideal for me. Yours are so beautiful even if the colors are wild and way too. BRight for my taste. They look great on you.

    Hi I love to knitting, it's my favorite hobby...
    I started when I was very young 12 years old...and I did beautiful mainly sweaters for the whole family.
    I got married and I stopped knitting for so long ,that I almost forgot, all the skills of knitting.
    But by whatcing your videos gave me the courage to go back and start a new project.
    Thank you very much .

    I agree entirely with you with regards to turning something you love (knitting) into a business. Hand knits not only take long to craft but the sewing up (joining of pieces) takes a long time too! I looked into the same idea - and came to the same conclusion as you. Still, now you can do it as a beloved hobby. Nice to see this part of your life Kika!

    Love your knits! I started off as a knitter but ultimately quit because I wasn’t really using my needles correctly and became discouraged and turned to crochet, but I’m slowly being inspired to get back into it. Also, thank you for the tip of not hanging knitwear! I made my first ever sweater in crochet and it’s so heavy, I should have known not to hang it! As soon as you added that tip I paused and snatched it off my hanger in the closet 😂
    I’m gonna get a storage bin that slides under my bed to hold my handmade items from now on, thank you so much

  • @kayceegreer4418

    I once had a mother in law who would bless me with sweaters on birthdays and Christmas, so my my trick was to slather my skin in lotion - I mean butter it like a biscuit (American biscuit, not a cookie), scone or bread - liberally, and then it would coat the inside of the itchy sweater and then not bother me at all. I also added a little bottle of lotion to pack in my purse in case I needed to reapply it at the neck and wrists.
    I have also lain my sweaters and scarves in a hot bath with liquid fabric softener and it's not a problem, even for wool, as long as you do not agitate.
    Just press down in the bath and leave it alone to soak, Be sure to use a generous amount, and let it soak until the water gets cool and then and depending on how much you actually did use, you might want to rinse it once in cold water by patting it down into the water - no swishing or agitation if it's actual wool - unless it says washable - and lay flat to dry on towels or rust free safety/ plastic coated wire grid. Be sure to change out the towels along the drying process and turn yer sweater over for complete drying

    Thank you so much for this video, I am so grateful for your show and tell. I really like knitting in the round myself, but I mainly do cardigans. Unlike you I don’t have any garments that I have unfinished. I have a couple of garments I have only worn a few times, but this has mainly been because they are in cashmere yarns and I am keeping them for best.
    Now that we are in winter lock down we can benefit from the comfort of our hand knits. This is especially the case for people like myself who enjoy luxury yarns.

    Envious of your knitting skills. Tried knitting several times, but ended up with half finished projects and rsi. So, I stuck to crochet projects instead. But seeing this now makes me want to unravel and start over. Happy Christmas 🎄to you Kika and congratulations on your upcoming wedding 😍 👰🏻
