    Challenge: Can I Knit A Sweater in 24 Hours? #knitwithkika #knittingchallenge
    Happy New Year 2022! This is the first video of the new year and what better way to kick off the new year than with an epic knitting challenge!
    I decided to try to knit a sweater from start to finish in only 24 hours, and what a journey it was...
    Follow along on this intense knitting challenge as I share my process of designing the sweater from scratch and the choices and decision I take to turn my vision into a reality...plus some struggles and challenges along the way when things don't go as planned.
    I'd love to know what your thoughts were on this video and if this is something you'd like to see more of? 😀
    I hope you enjoyed this video!

    I really enjoyed the rawness of this video filming. Finishing a sweater in 40-50 hours is really impressive. Great job, and I hope to see more videos like this one.

    Have you tried making "cowboy" coffee? When I went camping with my husband, I boiled water with some grounds of coffee for a few minutes, then I took the pot off from the fire and let the water calm down and let the grounds settle to the bottom. Pour the coffee slowly into a mug. It turned out great!

    it's also comforting and validating somehow to see u go back and make changes in your design, bc it didn't quite fit how you wanted - that's always the most frustrating part of a creative process for me. it's nice to see your entire knitting process (and i'm knitting right now! knitting along with your video)

    I love the sweater! It looks gorgeous. I think it would be a good video idea to teach how to knit the lace stitches. I have been watching your knitting videos and I love them all. But this is my favourite. Sending love and wishes for 2022. 😘❤️

    i'm doing a similar challenge for myself! I've always wanted to do a sweater, but have been too scared to start one because i know it's a long project and I usually gravitate towards shorter ones. I started a crochet cardigan a 3 days ago and i've already completed the front 2 panels. I'm currently working on the back panel after a day's rest for my hand that was too sore to do much yesterday. I have the sleeves, pockets, and collar pieces left after this! I'm very nervous but totally sticking to my guns :) I'm glad you posted this it helped keep my motivation high! Happy New Year Kika.

    Loved the more intimate talkative style of this video! Felt like we were friends getting updates on your knitting progress as it happened. Also would love to her you speak some finnish in one (or more) of your videos sometime! Even if its just a word or a phrase here and there I know I would like that :) . As always I loved this video of yours, so excited for your book as well! I will be first in line to buy a copy!

  • @smallfootprint2961
    @smallfootprint2961 2 года назад

    So frustrating. I want to make a sweater, but you are teaching me that it's not so simple. I think I'll start with something simple. Simple for me is probably plain. You do beautiful work, but you know how to correct your mistakes, or change the design. I am not there yet, but appreciate that you show all the stages of your creative endeavors. It shows me a lot about the process. Makes me less afraid of it. Thanks for showing it all.

  • @debradockendorf3155
    @debradockendorf3155 2 года назад

    Loved this video. A marathon knit isn’t pretty.
    When I design knitwear, I often rip out because my vision doesn’t always look the same in reality. It’s part of the creative process.
    A tip when pulling your project off the needles to rip out. Use a full mm size smaller needle to pick up your stitches and then knit off that needle using the correct needle size. The needle that you knit onto set the gauge of the stitch.
    You might already know this, but I thought I’d share.

    I love that you do crazy undertakings like this or knitting your wedding dress. My personality is similar: when you're in it, you ask yourself why do you do this to yourself but at the end it's worth the challenge. Loved it.

    Such a beautiful and lacy look on top and oh so pretty on you!!! I am not a knitter but I want to be. I am scared of trying because I am not very good in math. I am sure it takes a lot of calculations to do a sweater like that. You looked so happy knitting and you fur babies are beautiful! You are just a joy to watch as you knit! Ginger in Colorado USA

    Happy New Year. This would be an easy challenge for me since I only sleep three hours a night. No naps. Bedtime is 2:30 and wake up at 5:30. No snooze alarm on dogs that need to go out or hungry cats . I crochet at least 14 hours a day so I think I’d be fine with a 24 hour crochet challenge. 😂🧶🧶🧶 Your sweater is beautiful. I think if you just made a knit / purl style you would have finished. I knit my boyfriend a sweater vest in 20 hours.

    • @Kutovakika
      @Kutovakika  2 года назад +2

      Wow I envy you, I wish I could knit for 14 hours a day 😍 I haven’t made any crochet projects in a long time but really feel like it 😀 and yes, I also think if I would’ve done a sinple purl or stockinette stitch sweater I could’ve finished in 24 hours 🤞🏼🧐

    For the sore finger problem: you can buy silicone “finger cots” online. I use them with plain bandages, because I’m allergic to adhesive. But they are often used for people who need a little bit of a padding on a joint or a fingertip. They’re completely washable and reusable, and if you need them to go over a joint, you just trim the end. They come several to a package and in various sizes.

I really appreciate that even though you jump on board with these challenges, you keep it really real and show us what is possible and realistic for you to do. I am in my infancy stages of garment knitting so anything less than a week to finish a sweater is amazing. Nevertheless, I love watching your videos! Thanks for sharing!

    I’m not a knitter but I have had friends who were. I have knitted a man’s tie which can out really nice. Maybe I’ll make another one, it was fun and more my speed😅. I subscribed to your channel because it was so natural and real. The first one I watched was you crocheting and knitting your wedding dress which turned out gorgeous and you did it in 6wks. I would be really nice to pass down to your children ( if they like it of course)😊

    Fun video! I have never challenged myself to a full 24 hour knitting marathon but have occasionally decided to stay up and knit all night just to sew how far I could get. 🙃 so my last half (12 hour) marathon was 12/22/20 and I finished 6 pairs of mittens and 3 hats.
    Love your sweater design and look forward to the release.

Your bright energy and joyful personality is so comforting, and I love the inventiveness of your designs, which is really inspiring me to try designing my own patterns! My partner and I learned to knit just last summer, and we've both taken to it so quickly & have found a great passion in the craft. I'm so excited to watch more of your videos; both your approach and general sunny, genuine vibe is so energizing : -) I feel recharged in my own projects already!
