    If you wanna keep making your own sweater patterns, I recommend looking into the Elizabeth Zimmermann Percentage System. Unless you like messing things up at least once every time you start something (which i suspect you kinda do 😂), there are so many great resources to learn how to design.

    I love oversized and roomy sweaters, especially in very cold weather. I think it would have been a great look if you continued with it bigger than you intentioned.

    Love your knitting and crochet videos! To be honest, I love all your videos, you are such an inspiration to just go out and make things without worrying too much.
    (On another note, love the grey sweater, blue jeans and gold necklace, hair in a bun look)

    You make me laugh and it’s just a highlight of my day.
    You don’t know how much you mean to some of us Jenna. Thank you for making these videos. I don’t know what I would do without them

  • @denisiojoy
    @denisiojoy Год назад +3

    Here in NZ the mostly UK knitting patterns start raglan from the bottom up using separate needles & circular only for the neck. When adjusting for diffrrent weight wools I find separate needles much easier to work with & check correct sizing as you go. Love your videos Jenna. This one was too funny❤

    • @Lazydaisy646
      @Lazydaisy646 Год назад

      Im from NZ and could only find top down. Twas a disaster

    • @denisiojoy
      @denisiojoy Год назад

      @sillysewer Really! Must have been US patterns. I never use those as I can't understand their sizing. UK easier as metric like us.

    Jenna, I love your videos! Your content is exactly what I need to get me through the challenges of life. Your humor and willingness to try new things and make mistakes is so incredibly refreshing. Thank you for everything you do. I hope you share a pattern for this sweater, as it is exactly what I want to make! 😊

  • @bgummeson

    I love how you are ‘all in’ with all your projects. Btw there is a great video on YT titled ‘How to Turn Your Fingering Yarn into Chunky Yarn with Stephen West’ on the Knit Stars channel. He shows how to triple the yarn strands as you go. It’s genius!

  • @TheSewingCircle-LesleyRosas

    I'm a knitter who recently started sewing, so I have the opposite problem that you do - I keep calling my thread "yarn" 🤣

  • @smallfootprint2961
    @smallfootprint2961 Год назад +1

    Nice to see that even you make mistakes sometimes. Thanks for keeping them in the video. It was worth it to rip it back. It's looking good. Your videos are helping me recover from a broken hip. Thanks for posting. Yes. You deserve your own camera. So exciting.

  • @tammygodley8162
    @tammygodley8162 Год назад

    Im a left handed knitter, and the first item I made was a raglan cardigan, followed by raglan jumper and it's still my go to. I was really surprised when other Knitter's were like 'hey you are working top down? That's weird!'. It was all I knew!! Much quicker to knit raglan than straight and sew!

  • @brendaclark5216
    @brendaclark5216 Год назад

    Thank you Jenna, enjoy watching your videos. It so real, knitting and crocheting you work rows and then it happens it’s not right and you frog parts. However in the end when completed I’m sure your creativity will shine ✨. 🥰

  • @DomOfAllTrades
    @DomOfAllTrades Год назад +1

    I spent a million hours knitting a top and realized (once I had finished it!!!) that it's double the size I need. Which explains why it took so long... Watching you frog this is giving me the push I need to remake mine!
    And to also try it on as I go hahah.

  • @OncleClara
    @OncleClara Год назад

    Jenna you should look into adding German short rows at the back of your sweater, otherwise you get issues where the neck becomes too high in the front and too low in the back.
    You can also see part of the issue when you turned side on whilst wearing it and the front hangs down much further than the back. They’re way easier to do than people realise and so worth it!

    I love your work. I have a suggestion for you, when a person does a lot of work looking down it helps to put a cushion on your lap to bring your work a little closer. My neck is destroyed because I looked down for my work for thirty years. I hope this helps❤️

  • @Lazydaisy646
    @Lazydaisy646 Год назад

    I started a top down sweater three months ago. It had a gorgeous lacy pattern down the front, if you have to unpick ( which I did) you have to unpick THE WHOLE GARMENT.
    Its now got a cable down the front

    There are a series of books by Ann Budd that provide sweater recipes with all the calculations you need for whatever yarn you want to use. I like "The knitter's Handy book of Top Down Sweaters- basic designs in multiple sizes and gauges". Love your videos!

  • @caylarivera2804
    @caylarivera2804 Год назад +3

    It took me like 3 months to finish my latest halloween sweater, so I commend you on trying to speed run your knits lol. Sweaters be taking a hella long time to make by hand. Also I can't believe there's no pattern for a chunky raglan top down sweater, thats crazy! I think i used a youtube video tutorial to figure out my first one, which was my very first whole sweater. The colors in this are gorgeously vibrantand so you!

    Hi Jenna, love the video! For anyone out there, there is a free pattern for a raglan sweater made with aran/chunky yarn (I believe the recommended needle size is 7mm) by two of wands, called the winter league sweater :)
    I have not made it yet but it is on my list of projects, it is the chunky version of her autumn league sweater which I made last year and got a ton of compliments on

      Raglan sweaters are pretty easy to wing, it’s a matter of measuring mainly. I saw a video on RUclips once that was just the construction basics and placing your increases etc and I feel like once you learn all of that, you can make it work in whatever stitch pattern you want.

    It's ok for it to be big. It's a chunky sweater, the expectation is that you're going to layer under it. Trust me, it's fine. Especially with ribbing at the bottom.
