Hey Jenna, idk if you’ve done any colourwork knits, BUT if you want to try it, there is a danish tradition from the 70’s ish that is called Hönsestrik, which is super fun and colourful. Basically it’s colourwork but with all the colours and really fun patterns.
Idk how you come up with these colour combos Jenna, but all of the colours you chose work perfectly together even though the overall pairings are somewhat irregular. Love it so much! You winging this sweater (and it turning out perfectly) really motivates me to make one too 🤍
5:16 That's actually an interesting knitting prompt. Go somewhere you haven't been before and bring a selection of colors with you so you can then pick the color based on something you see along the way that inspires you!
i’ve never been able to finish garments other than a beanie and arm warmers with both knitting and crocheting, as it’s a lot of patience and i have sensory issues so it’s hard to find an affordable yarn it could actually wear. but now, this video is totally inspiring me to try again. this came out so beautifully :)!!
Hi Jenna! I just wanted to tell you how much I love you and your channel. I found you last year and now I’m a college freshman which is really overwhelming but your channel always brings me comfort. Knitting along today! (you inspired me to make my first sweater and its almost done!) Love you lots 🧡🧡
I love it. I’m not really into strips but these colors work!! I can not wear wool in West Tennessee, USA. We are known for having all four seasons in a 24 hour period. So light weight fabrics that can be layered is a must. We are having very low temperatures and just had an ice storm. It will be melted away in 24 -48 hours.
this is my fav sweater you have made so far. it looks amazing! love the boys napping by you too, especially Benson. I love how he just sleeps under the blankets.
Your videos inspire me to create. It's the middle of winter here and I'm in the process of knitting pieces for my spring/summer wardrobe. Currently working on a tank top, I've never had luck knitting my own clothes but you inspire me to go for it. Thanks
It’s highly unlikely but if you ever get tired of Benson licking you, I’ll take him cuz that’s just too precious. He is constantly wanting to show you how much he loves you - who doesn’t want that. So glad Jack gets along with him. You have 2 of the chillest doggies in the world - so lucky😊
Hey! I wanted to ask if you could please make a tutorial on how to knit a sweater like yours ..... I wanted to make a birthday sweater for myself. I also LOVEEE the sweater you made.
i would so love just a quick step by step on how you section off for the arms and taper in for the neck line, the fit of this is soo good. trying to replicate a similar style for my daughter.
I began crocheting just about a month ago and I found your channel and now I binge watch your videos again and again cause they're so entertaining and inspiring!
this turned out so goood. Would you please do a knittting tutorial? I can do basic knitting but id really like to learn how to do it in the round and dpn, but honestly any tutorial would be awesome they inspire me so much! ( i know there are a bunch of tutorials out there but i like yours :P)
I love this sweater. I think I'm ready to try, but can't really understand what you did at the arm holes, neck etc. Would love you to talk us through it as you go, but it's the best you have done. Yay!
Love your sweater! I really enjoy watching your channel and you have inspired me to get back into knitting and crocheting. Currently I’m stuck in the house due to health reasons so I’ve been passing time making afghans and cardigans. First I crocheted a cardigan from yarn in my stash. Second cardigan I’m trying to knit. Funny story though. The pattern calls for size 9 and 10 needles. Ended up I couldn’t find my size 10 needles but found non-matching 10 1/2 needles. Not even sure where I got them, probably from a friend’s family estate. After starting the sweater 4 times all was going well until one of the 10 1/2 needles broke into three pieces. Note to self, never use plastic needles. Ugh… since I can’t get out and live in a rural area I’ll have to put this one on hold till I can get the needed needles. Kind of frustrating and funny at the same time. Don’t worry I have plenty of other projects to do.
Today I watched a Q&A you did a while ago. I was amazed that you went to school in Idaho. I moved to Pullman WA 33 years ago. Howie neighbor once upon a time.
It looks so good!!! I love the way you just jump in it’s how I like to work but I don’t see anyone else do that. So good to see a kindred spirit. 🤎💜💙💚💛🧡
"I legit get to sit on my couch and knit", not only is Jenna a craftsmen she is also a poet. I just love her videos. This sentence just mad me laugh cause it so true, some times you just want to sit on you couch and knit 💓🧶
This jumper is perfect I really wish I could understand how to make one ,so perfect for my Grandaughters.I can't follow patterns but can't work.this out either 😢
You should make a pattern for this. It can be a very efficient and fun way to bust your yarn stash/ scrap yarns. I would like to make mmy version of it 😍LOVED the color combinations.🥳🥳
Can you please make a pattern for this sweater! it is absolutely stunning and all the sweaters I have made just never workout good and this is a masterpiece!!!
I've been watching a lot of your videos lately (new viewer here) and your color choices are inspiring me. lol. I tend to shy away from bright colors but seeing your projects, I'm excited ♥️
Love it ! I so enjoy your videos, it amazing that you don’t get your yarns tangled. The color mix is great, you are so talented Thank you for sharing and inspiring. 🥰
Hi Jenna, luv the colors and the look of your sweater, it's absolutely amazing. Luv your videos, you are sooo funny and upbeat. Always enjoy your sweet babies too, adorable!!! Have a fabulous day. Luv & blessings from Texas.❤😁🦋
I just started learning to knit 3 days ago, I only know the knit stitch, but I'm making a scrappy scarf. I usually crochet. It looks wonky but I'm sticking with it. I will wear my weird scarf with pride.
Hi! What kind of yarn did you use (eg. the brown one) for this project? Was it all the same type of fiber (eg. merino/wool) or did you mix them (eg. wool with acrylic and so on)? It looks fabulous btw. Thank you.
Can you share how you take care of and/or refresh your crochet and knit items? I started crocheting a few years ago and my items have started to pill and fuzz. I’ve now bought 2 de-pillers: 1 worked great until after de-pilling 4 sweaters it got clogged and broke and I could not revive it. The other apparently doesn’t work on chunky knits… There’s not much on RUclips about refreshing crochet or knit items
JENNA! I have the perfect pattern recommendations for you! The technique where you hold two colors of yarn together is called marling. Stephen West has some AMAZING patterns designed for marling and he’s known for his vibrant artistic designs. You should check some out!! Beata Jekez also has a pattern called Le Pouf that’s designed using marling to make a gradient! I’m making that one now in white, red, and grey. It’s free!

This is one of my favorite sweaters you have ever made. The fit is SO GOOD.
Once you try knitting top down in the round you will not want to go back. There are so many beautiful (free) patterns, I really recommend trying!
Could you please link some free patterns/tutorials? I would really like to try it out 😊
What's better with top down? I've never done bottom first.
@@suzanne5238 less stitching together later, you work the collar first, then the yoke, put your sleeve stitches on hold, finish the body, and lastly pick up stitches for sleeves and knit those down!!
1000%. agreee ❤
Please can you link some of your favourite patterns? ❤
That couch looks extremely comfortable.
you know someone has a beautiful soul when their pets look at them with such love in their eyes.
Sometimes if a sweater is itchy, rinsing it with hair conditioner can help soften the fibres and make it wearable.
Yes, it does work. I've even left jumpers in the conditioner for a few days and the wool smells amazing and is so soft 😊
I think this is your best sweater yet, I love it and it look amazing on you. Love the colors! Also the dogs are too cute!
so sad to never see this area again because it was a really nice looking place!
i hope you feel comfortable with your new home and good luck!

I just looked this up and I'm blown away - thank you for mentioning it, it looks like it was made for me
@@CecilyaKitty yo that’s so cool! It’s super inspiring for me too, I don’t love following patterns so that freestyling knitting is much more fun imo
Oh Yayy excited to check it out before I go grab more yarn today!
Haha oop. Never mind. I’m just completing my first sweater ever today so I won’t be able to make those anytime soon 😂 so gorgeous!!
I want to sleep the way benson sleeps, he looks like he's having the best sleep of his life.
Idk how you come up with these colour combos Jenna, but all of the colours you chose work perfectly together even though the overall pairings are somewhat irregular. Love it so much! You winging this sweater (and it turning out perfectly) really motivates me to make one too 🤍
You have such a good eye for pretty color combs because this sweater looks absolutely amaaaaazing🥰

I love when she posts it just motivates me to crochet even when she’s knitting she just so much fun ❤❤❤❤❤
I love how many configurations of dogs and blankets there are in this video.
this is my fav sweater you have made so far. it looks amazing! love the boys napping by you too, especially Benson. I love how he just sleeps under the blankets.
I love the granny squares sweater you crocheted

IT LOOKS SO GOOD. I honestly think that it's the best one you've done so far. Will definitely try and crochet a sweater with those gorgeous colours.
I honestly love your videos, feels like therapy
This is my favourite sweater you have made so far! Well done. ❤
I love it Jenna! The colors work together so well and the fit is perfect. Great job!
This looks SOO good.! I love the color blends and mixing the two colors was a good idea bc it gave the sweater some character..

I just love ur funky personality and style!
Love the sweater!
You gave me the motivation to learn how to crochet, almost finished my first sweater! 😊
This is your best sweater yet. It fits so well. Love it.
I love this sweater. I think I'm ready to try, but can't really understand what you did at the arm holes, neck etc. Would love you to talk us through it as you go, but it's the best you have done. Yay!
The mixed colours is so cute (the red and pink)
I've been wanting to make a sweater out of my scrap yard like that but I keep chickenin' out in fear of it not looking good at ALL. This is a BOMB!
Just try it. Worst case scenario you don’t like it.
It turned out so cute! You’re so great with colors - can’t wait to see what else you make this year 🫶🏻

I loved how you used leftovers and loved the stripped effect. Well done.
Girl, that sweater is the most awesome thing ever 😍. I think its the most beautiful thing you have ever knit
It’s so cute! Love your use of color. You have a good eye for putting colors together.❤️

Awwww, looooove the jumper so so much. I'm knitting my 2nd jumper this month for myself. You always brighten my day. Love Di in the UK. Xxx
