"I hope you're glad you woke up today" as someone that struggles with depression and isn't always happy I did, listening to this while getting ready on one of the few mornings I am happy about it, I couldn't help but smile when I heard that. Definitely bringing this energy into the rest of my day ❤️
I was knitting to this video, and I was absolutely taken by surprise by you wishing we're glad we'd woken up today. Thank you, I needed that. Also, I've been binge-watching your videos and I love every single one of them. Keep doing beautiful stuff!
I adore these sweaters! I love that you are not afraid of colours. I know that style is very personal and I think there is generally no wrong way to make clothes but it's just so refreshing to see things knitted in other colors than just beige or cream. And it's also nice to see someone knit with Drops yarn.. after watching knitting podcasts, I often feel like I should buy better yarn but I simply can't afford that.
I was not that happy that I woke up so I really appreciated your reminder to be and to be mindful of that. Thank you. You have made some beautiful items.
Just a crocheter passing through who is also too intimidated by knit patterns and videos. So instead, she binges lovely knitters like you. You're so fun to listen to! The brown fuzzy sweater, and your first sweater were my favourites.
You definitely don’t have to, but I’d recommend just going for it with knitting a sweater! It can always be unraveled. Obviously though, I’m totally biased. I’m so excited to start on my first crochet sweater though. Super nervous but also excited. 😆
Honestly, as someone who has crocheted since childhood and was always to intimidated to learn to knit, DO IT! It's not nearly as hard as you think. Learn continental and go for it! It's easier than crochet, imo.
@@uschilou Funnily enough, I tried continental and found it SO hard. My brain keeps thinking the right needle is a hook😭. Imagine trying to crochet using a needle, it's like that. I'll absolutely take the leap though!
Oh my goodness, the halibut sweater has been on my radar for a while, but after seeing how lovely yours is it just made its way to top of my list! Love love!
Your videos are always so chill and cosy and this one felt like just hanging out on a sunday afternoon chatting about knitting with a friend, I love it!
@@BreathingYarn aw I’m glad! I love your vids and every time I see you wear that halibut sweater I get more encouraged to try to make one even though I’ve never done colour work before in my knitting AND I’ve never knitted anything other than hats 😂 I might try a swatch or something and see how it goes first!
Love the way you ended your video. I've been going through a bit of a rough patch and it really helped me to feel grateful for managing to get through another day, so thank you. And I love laying in sun patches with my cat too
This is my favorite type of comment to read. I need the reminder that none of us are isolated with these struggles and the best thing I can do when I’m having a good mental health day is spread love to those that aren’t.
Oh my god. Can I just say that the Maybe Forever Sweater looks absolutely incredible on you! The colour is phenomenal and the design is soooooo nice 🫨🫨 Also hi from New Zealand! I recently found your channel the other day and have been watching your videos while crocheting. This is my absolute favourite knitting / crocheting channel on RUclips and I can’t wait to see what future videos you make!
Nice job choosing yarn colors that complement your features🌺 I also appreciate that you are adventurous with your designs. I like to design my own sweaters too.
Honestly all of the garments are a slay especially knowing that they're handmade, but I gotta say that the Grace sweater color scheme looks really really good on you!!! The only negative thing I have to say is that I agree with you abt the Stripy Affair sweater, it feels like a whole "go girl give us nothing" (the sweater, not you lmfao) idk if it's bc of the shape and/or the color, particularly after seeing all the other stunning pieces that suit you so well! Also I'm obsessed with the shape of the sleeves on the Fuzzy Mismatched they're awesome
today wasn't exactly a good day, but i ended it by making progress on my first hand knit sock while catching up on your videos, and for that i am glad i woke up today. i always appreciate the comfort and humor in your videos. thanks for being you!
Just yesterday I went through my knits to decide whats going in the good wardrobe or the bad wardrobe (a cupboard things Im not sure about go into and if theyre not worn in a period of time will go) or straight be given away. Its hard with knits cause they took time and effort but now watching you has helped me with my resolve 😊
You videos feel like a warm cup of tea on a rainy day 😊❤ Such a cosy watch! Thanks for sharing all your pieces. I love the look and drape of knit garments but I enjoy crochet more. For now at least, maybe someday I'll try knitting again! ❤
Loved seeing all your sweaters! That red knitted halter on you looks so rad! And your justification for wearing the sweater backwards with the cable party in the back. 😄
This is amazing! This video was so inspiring both for items I want to knit and to not hold myself to loving to wear everything I make! Also can we talk about the rainbow coming through the window on the second to last shot! AMAZING!
Yes to not loving everything we make! It’s something I was not prepared for when I started knitting. 🧶 The rainbow will never stop making me smile 😊 the rainbow window film is now a must have!!!!
as always, I love our catch-ups! Your style is so relaxing and I genuinely enjoy hearing what you have to say. I wish you had a pattern for your first sweater ever, it is everything!! I've knit a few jumpers, all by following a pattern. I am more creative with my crochet jumpers and don't always rely on a pattern.
I have just met you and I want to be best friends. Lol the Sky High reference got me. I love your knits, I love your style, you are hilarious, and we have similar body types! Hello, new fiber friend!
It’s so hard to find people with similar body types and I love finding people with similar to mine. It really helps me appreciate mine more 💛💛💛 and THANK YOU for the sky high recognition 😂
All your sweaters look so good! I love the Polaroid one best. I’m still a beginner crocheter but hopefully one day I could make a sweater even half as nice as yours.
The sweater vest and the little sleeveless tops look the best, I believe, on your body type. Please make more of these for yourself. You deserve it. I agree that one sweater can be made into a t-shirt. I really like the pattern on the Stripy Affair sweater. I agree that the November jacket is less than ideal. I would frog it because whomever takes it will have the same problem. The sweater with the one striped sleeve is a great graphic design. I personally would not wear it with that sleeve shape and would fix that. The sweaters I loved the best were the Semper Slipover, Grace Sweater and the Stripy Affair. The first sweater I ever made shrunk in the wash (100% Germantown Wool) and I couldn't wear it. I gave it to some ladies who make mittens and slippers out of felted knits. I was told that my sweater was made into tall slipper socks. The sweater had an asymmetric button closure and the drapey collar was six inches wide and fell over the front and around the back. The collar formed the top cuffs of the slipper socks. I was so happy.
'i hope youre glad you woke up today' wow that caught me off guard! i did not realise that was something i needed to hear,, thank you so much, and I'm glad you woke up today
I’m glad you woke up today too 🥰 I got my baskets from Amazon years ago and I don’t think the brand is still available ☹️ I am willing to bet there are lots of similar rope baskets!
I like that you have used budget yarns like Drops. I just started knitting and so many knitting channels seem to be into mohair held double with spun gold doing a lace pattern with 2 mm needle in one week.😂 I drop so many stitches or do accidental yarnover, I think using two strands will be a disaster for me 😊
Another fun video. I also want to crochet a garment. I am currently obsessed with crochet….I do feel like I am cheating on my knitting because I resisted the hook for years. Currently crocheting bags and stuffies for my grandkids (which they love) so have given myself permission to enjoy crochet.
This was a really fun video to watch! Would you consider doing a tour of your yarn stash sometime? I'm trying to get into using natural fibers and the craft stores near me are pretty scant, so I'm looking for suggestions.
I think the semper sweater could use a short row bust dart in addition to maybe a bit less short row at the back neck. Your bust is lifting the front hem which is why it’s so much different in length from front to back.
I just stumbled across your videos right as I'm knitting my second sweater ever, and it's so much fun seeing what other people have worked on - wow are those a lot of beautiful tops!!!! I'm not sure if you've still held onto that bulky weight sweater (I actually love the idea of the colourblocked V!) but if you wanted to manage the loose ends before keeping it/giving it away, I think that you might be able to braid them down? I've kind of been hyper-fixating on fair isle garments recently and I've been seeing that particularly in patterns where you're switching colours maybe every few rows, a lot of people will leave snip the ends when changing colours, leave them out and then braid it down into one big seam once they've finished the sweater - it's a really neat technique and I think that it might be able to work in this case.
About the november jacket... How about using safety pins to discreetly pin it to the shirt underneath or even the bra for extra stability? It really is pretty...
This is such a lovely chatty video, I was responding in my head and making suggesting that you couldn't hear (that's how you know it's a good one, lol!) I love the Halibut Sweater - it's amazing! Yet again I need to learn how to knit (or do I try and convert it to crochet?) There were a couple of your tops that you mentioned being a little short, have you though of adding extra ribbing to making them longer a the bottom, or you know even higher waisted trousers! (I think they're called super high, there the ones, I buy :D) And yes, as a fellow tattoo'd person I agree that showing it off is a must
I think the Drops website helps locate stores in your area that sell their yarn

Lovely knits! 😊 As for the November Jacket, maybe if you lengthened it, it would stay on the shoulders? I have a feeling that in the full length version, the weight of the front would pull the sweater down a bit and keep it in place. On the other hand, handling that stitch after the garment is finished must be awful
Okay, so I don’t see it but I’m on vacation now with all of my in-laws and everybody voted that I look like Renee Rapp 😂 so I guess I do. I’ll take it, she’s gorgeous 🤩
And may I ask you where did you get your white pants and red top? We have similar size and these garments look cozy and neat at the same time, love it!
They’re both very cozy. The sweatpants are old navy, I size up for an oversized fit. The red top is from Girlfriend Collective, it’s their Topanga Halter Bra.
Drops Alpaca is too itchy for me too. The ball of yarn where the stransd all lie flat and parallel is soooo soft to the touch. But once it is knitted, I can't wear it on skin any more because of the subtle itch. It gets a little bit better with blocking though (but still not enough not to itch).
Hey, I have a question to your self drafted sewater with the Drops alpaca yarn: What needle sice did you use and what is the gauge? How much did it grow on you? I'm also knitting a sewater in this yarn and make the pattern up myself and I don't know how much it will grow in lenght 😅
Another knitting lover! I am not planning on starting a knitting business since my fingers are already struggling to keep up, but I’ll never say never.
Totally! I string elastic string/cord through the collar and pull tight until it’s a tension I like, then tie it off. It’s a totally hidden way of making sure the collar always lays flat.
@@BreathingYarnI love this video and you inspired me to frog my first completed sweater and cake it up to remake in a way I actually like! I started knitting 6 months ago and I’ve learned SO much from spending that time ignoring my crochet projects and just trying lots of knitting things. I’m obsessed with knitting my own 100% cotton socks rn. Your Polaroid rainbow-ish top inspired one of my T-sweaters that I wear like weekly. ❤
Harriet & Alice is the only yarn shop in Minnesota I’ve been to and it’s my favorite (not just by default, the ladies are so sweet and I like their selection)
I have one knit sweater I made and it needs to be fixed, sleeves are too wide and too long lol. Also I have some crochet tops I need to frog because they’re summer tops that I stupidly made in acrylic so they’d be too freaking warm lol 🥵 I just havnt worked up the nerve to get those things done
And if nobody got your blue cotton sweater from the give away pile, feel free to give it to me 😀 I can help you out with some graphic design or send you something from France 💅🏼
@@BreathingYarn haha I'd do the same if I were her. Thanks for the reply anyway! keep it up, your content is cozy, I love your knowledge inputs regarding materials and your education background, you're great

I’ve watched only 3 minutes and… I am obsessed ❤❤❤you are adorable!

The secret is to wear the sweaters indoors but keep your house RIDICULOUSLY cold all winter. Saves on heating costs, and you look great. 🤷♀️
I need to move back to a colder climate 😂
@@BreathingYarn There's that, too 😂
Truly obsessed with the mismatch sweater it’s incredible
This may sound weird, but I really like your music choices in your videos. The one at the end of this one is great.
Not weird at all! Love that someone likes the music as much as I do 🥰

This was so enjoyable while crocheting this morning! I unraveled a sweater to keep the yarn I really like and am making something in a different fit.
Yayyyy, yes to unraveling 🙌🏻
That red perks of being a wallflower top is stunning! Well done!

Drops Alpaca is too itchy for me too. The ball of yarn where the stransd all lie flat and parallel is soooo soft to the touch. But once it is knitted, I can't wear it on skin any more because of the subtle itch. It gets a little bit better with blocking though (but still not enough not to itch).
Hey, I have a question to your self drafted sewater with the Drops alpaca yarn: What needle sice did you use and what is the gauge? How much did it grow on you? I'm also knitting a sewater in this yarn and make the pattern up myself and I don't know how much it will grow in lenght 😅
I have nothing written down about what needle size I used ☹️ I do remember it grew a fair amount though!
I like this movie🧡💛🌈Good length🥰
I anxiously started to check if the word chilling is old fashioned now, didn't find any info, thank god. I was afraid we become boomers already 🫠
Came for sweaters, stayed for a glimpse of the slurp asmr
😂
I looooove knitting, i low key became obsessed. Are you making it a business? ❤🎉
Another knitting lover! I am not planning on starting a knitting business since my fingers are already struggling to keep up, but I’ll never say never.
Any tips for making a neckline laying as flat as it does on the first (!) sweater you've made? I really enjoy watching your videos, you seem so sweet!
Totally! I string elastic string/cord through the collar and pull tight until it’s a tension I like, then tie it off. It’s a totally hidden way of making sure the collar always lays flat.
@@BreathingYarn Thank you! :) I've seen this technique mentioned but I've never tried
Do not put that beautiful colourwork sweater away, definitely chilly summer night appropriate !
You’re right, it’s too magnificent to be exiled to storage!
Sky High represents!
How long does your average top take to knit?
I’ve actually never counted (time wise). I’d say 20-100 hours is a good range.
@@BreathingYarnI love this video and you inspired me to frog my first completed sweater and cake it up to remake in a way I actually like! I started knitting 6 months ago and I’ve learned SO much from spending that time ignoring my crochet projects and just trying lots of knitting things. I’m obsessed with knitting my own 100% cotton socks rn. Your Polaroid rainbow-ish top inspired one of my T-sweaters that I wear like weekly. ❤
That’s amazing!!!
okay as a minnesota girl i need to know what your favorite yarn shops here are
Harriet & Alice is the only yarn shop in Minnesota I’ve been to and it’s my favorite (not just by default, the ladies are so sweet and I like their selection)
Also, heyyyy! Fellow Minnesota girl! ❄️ 🌲 🦟
I have one knit sweater I made and it needs to be fixed, sleeves are too wide and too long lol. Also I have some crochet tops I need to frog because they’re summer tops that I stupidly made in acrylic so they’d be too freaking warm lol 🥵 I just havnt worked up the nerve to get those things done
It’s so not easy to motivate to fix stuff you already finished! And acrylic in the summer is a lesson I learned the hard way 😂
Omg you're so cool😭🫶
And omg you're gorgeous
And if nobody got your blue cotton sweater from the give away pile, feel free to give it to me 😀 I can help you out with some graphic design or send you something from France 💅🏼
I had one friend come over and she took all of the sweaters/tops I was planning to give away 😆
@@BreathingYarn haha I'd do the same if I were her. Thanks for the reply anyway! keep it up, your content is cozy, I love your knowledge inputs regarding materials and your education background, you're great
hi!
I’ll take cat-bathing slurps over disgusting dog slurps any day!
Thank you, yes! 100%
🧶☀️
This is the video that i first saw of you and nooow i am addicted 🪄✨
But........ isn't the Halibut Sweater the one for your man? Haha
Love stealing pretty clothes though!
