I love this style of video it really took you along the course of your sweater knitting and it was very informational and I definitely learned a thing or two. Thanks for bringing us along! It turned out perfect looks beautiful on UA-cam. The colour is amazing. !
Beautiful process ♥️😃👍🏻 I love the colour and the sweater so nice. Well done 👍🏻
The sweater looks great. I think the tonal yarn makes for a more ‘dimensional’ fabric, and I love it. I really appreciate how you detail your decision-making process. Btw one way I stabilize my winder on a table is by folding an old placemat around the edge of the table. That way I can tighten it up without worrying as much about denting the table. Sassy is super cute!
Thanks for the tip Brenda!
Those seams on the centre of the v neck and on the back yoke are GORGEOUS. What a pretty pattern (and this video is 100% what I needed rn)
Watched this in parts because I couldn’t get the chance to sit down over the week. Amazing knit! It’ll defo be a staple in your wardrobe. Great video as always ❤
Loved this vlog style format and that sweater looks so good on you !! I think it was super refreshing and relatable to see the ups and downs and doubts we go through as knitters as we’re making a garment, so I’m all here for that ☺️
I really enjoy these types of videos that you do. I first watched a video of yours when you did your boyfriends sweater at Christmas. I’ve watched all of your videos since.
You seem so real and honest and I like that. So many videos on UA-cam are way too over produced now. This was you knitting a sweater and taking us along for the ride.
It's a triumph and now I want one thank you for sharing!!
Yes, I like these kinds of videos, from start to finish and all the thoughts/decisions made along the way. Good job! The sweater came out great and looks lovely on you. ❤
I just stumbled upon this video, and wanted to come say THANK YOU! I loved this format and seeing your progress from start to finish in one video! I’ve had my eye on this sweater and you’ve definitely talked me into it!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Loved this style of video and loved seeing your knitting process and thought process while knitting a full sweater! So fun!
Yeah!!!! Your sweater turned out fab🎉. My daughter and I watched the entire blog-vlog and thought it was very fun. Thank you for all your time and effort. We look forward to more ❤
So glad you both enjoyed it together, how sweet!
This was fun to watch as I knitted my cumulus blouse. The yarn color and final outcome looked great on you. Interesting points on the Harlow/Sweater no 14 differences. There are several patterns that seem so similar and at some point I wondered why all these designers were releasing "copies" of the same pattern. This is mainly due to the fact that we are so close to the patterns - until a designer releases a pattern verbatim, it should not be an issue. These "arguments". are like asking why bakeries sell similar loaves of bread or why ice cream shops all sell vanilla ice cream. Clearly, every one has their twist on things - be it yarn weight, size range, length, or the shoulder detail like Caidree's.
There are only so many styles of pullovers - V-neck, crew, boat neck; raglan, drop shoulder, set-in. So similar styles are to be expected.
I'm working on a list of patterns per style and then documenting the differences so it's easier to reference when I want to knit a type of garment. Similar to the convo, I was thinking of Sweater no 14 or Stockholm by PK. They are very similar to Harlow, and having the pointers are helpful.
Hi Mandy, great job at taking us along, nice to see it as it is. Every project has its challenges and we have to make decisions/adapt along the way, that’s how it goes. Love your sweater! ❤
Loved this day by day vlog! When looking at the yarn variance or not, it felt like your commentary was exactly the convo that goes on in MY head 😂😂😂😂 It turned out gorgeous!
I really enjoyed your idea of making a video that goes through the whole process and your thoughts about both yarn and pattern
Omgoodness I love love love your sweater
Colour looks fantastic on you
Wow beautiful
Thanks for taking us on your journey !!!
Love your pods
😊💝🇨🇦🇨🇦
Great sweater!! The process of knitting it was fun to watch. Its interesting to me the concerns we all experience while knitting anything , and how we work through to resolve the concerns. It helps me overcome some of my own issues. Thanks for sharing the video!
There's something so nice about plushy double folded collars! Don't think I'll ever tire of v-necks. I'm working on my first sleeve on my Oslo sweater in a magenta using alpaca silk + silk mohair and loving the collar squish! And I do see what you mean about the neck ribbing being a sliiightly deeper shade at the start-- the garment still tuned out gorgeous!!
I love the editing style more natural and real & I know how much effort you have already put into this video ❤ I make short finished object videos because of the lack of time. I like your yarn and colour it gives depth and on the bottom gives that gradient effect a bit. Beautiful. You tempted me to dream to knit it one day 🧶 Greeting from Ireland, Barbara
Love your video's, this one was fun going through the process with you. It turned out so so well, thanks so much I really hope you make another vlog :)
Great video documenting the process. From what it looks like on my end regarding the color of the yarn, the color could appear different than the body because it is done with the ribbing which naturally creates shadows in between each rib vs the smooth fabric of the stockinette in the body. It doesn’t appear to look different on camera.
Such a beautiful pattern. I’m not a very experienced knitter but I have a 50/50 cotton/cashmere yarn on hand. If I’m making in a larger size (XL or 2XL), would the cotton stretch out the sweater too much? Would love advice from more experienced knitters before beginning.
Loved this video and watching the journey of your sweater.
I love this video and how real you are! The sweater turned out amazing!
Mandy I loved this video!! You are so authentic and the sweater turned out great 🥰
The slight difference in color is due to the shadows made by the ribbing. It looks like the same color.
Life hack, if you have a long small needle (like a sock needle) you can pick up stitches with it and knit right from it with the correct needle size instead of having to thread in a lifeline
it turned out amazing! youve now got me confused because i was about to start the harlow sweater (guage swatch is blocked and im ready to start) but this is so cute! i feel like itd be so cute with turtlenecks under it to layer as its about to be winter here soon which would be so nice! oh god lots of thinking to do now
I loved this video format! I love seeing the process, and the sweater turned out great! I would love to try to make this pattern at some point in the future :)
Loved this! I made the Harlow V Neck just now and it was enjoyable to see your experience 😊
Comparing the sweaters - different fibre recommendations and needle sizes are very valid choices to make, l would definitely look at similar patterns and decide whether l want warmer, lighter fibre on 6mm or a tighter gauge in a thinner yarn on 4.5mm.
I loved your vlog on this sweater, and it turned out gorgeous! Looks so good on you. I have not yet knit a Caidree pattern but I'm going to look for one tonight! Ahh, the perfect Friday - glass of wine, pattern surfing and then get to choose my yarn! All of your knitting is pretty but I really like this sweater! Hugs from Texas!!
Sounds like a perfect Friday night!
Very beautiful sweater. You knitted it perfectly.
such a beautiful sweater !
Just found you today and I love your style of vlogging. Many has been the time I have moaned F#@k into the universe over a knit that was going a bit wrong. Love the colour of the jumper. I can't see the colour change but I've been there too and believe you.
It looks really good on you! When you said blending two colors, do you mean cutting and join yarns every few meters?
Girl I just wanted to say that you are beautiful! I love the sweater
Great video!! Do you think this pattern would work well to add length so the sweater was more a tunic length than a cropped length?
I already feel like the collar has a bit of stretch, so I'd definitely consider reinforcing it if you want to knit a longer length!
Awesome ty!
lol love the British accent :P! and love the knit
Hi from San Diego. Just found your channel
Love the vlog style videos, your sweater looks wonderful!! I’ve been debating casting on the Harlow Sweater… but now… should I do the V-neck???? Have I been influenced?? 😂
If I don’t want to do helical knitting I’ll use two different skeins in The gauge swatch to see if they are different when they are knit one after the other.
Great sweater!
hi Mandy! this turned out awesome! i was wondering what needles you used in this video? i’m in the market for some good bamboo/ wood needles, and was wondering if you would recommend those. thank you, enjoy your day❤
I use the knit pro symphonie set. They are wood and composite and nice enough for the price. I have broken a few needles and the chords don't stay the best. My shorty set is the knit picks wood needles and I like those more!
I have the same exact swift and winder and also notice the fuzz on the table afterwards.
Interesting, maybe it is the swift/winder and not the yarn!
When you put the British accent on you sound so like AlexandrasGarn!
Amused Brit living in Sweden, here.
love her!!
very nice sweater
If you really want to know if there is color differences, go outside look at it in daylight. Indoors there are to many variables of light that gives you a false reading
Does your hat say She’s Startin’?! Incredible.
Hahah you best believe it does 😎
Great job on your sweater! I will be checking out the new yarn. You mentioned using shorties to do your sleeves...What brand are you using? Is it a set or singles? I like wood vs metal needles on most of my projects. Thanks in advance for answering my question.
Using a knit picks wood set!! I’m super happy with it so far :)
Do you think it grew after
Blocking because of the super wash part of the yarn? Lovely sweater by the way!
I think both super wash and non treated wool will grow!
sorry if you've talked about this before, but how do you store all of your finished knits?
It is not a very profesh set up haha, I keep them folded in a pile in my closet. I know that some people store them away but I don't really have space to move them anywhere else in the summer!
If you feel strongly about any lines, you can break them up with a few duplicate stitches placed a few stitches apart
I think you are overthinking the collar color issue. It looks intentional.
Yes I definitely think I was in my head haha
The color is fine, I don't see what you're talking about at all. I don't know why people obsess over color change in hand dyed yarn, when that's the whole reason to buy hand dyed yarn. The sweater is gorgeous, you've done a great job on it.
Thanks! This was actually my first time knitting an entire sweater in hand dyed yarn so I didn't know exactly what to expect. I'm super happy with the color of the yarn and how it turned out :)
It's not. Leave it
It's the nap of the yarn
Think about when you vacuum a carpet one direction It's light another It's dark
