We’ve all been there-you finish a knitting project, only to realize it’s not quite what you hoped for. Maybe the fit is off, the style doesn’t suit you, or there’s just something that’s not clicking. In this video, I’m going back to three of my finished knit objects that have been collecting dust, and I’m giving them a much-needed makeover to make them more wearable!
Join me as I unravel the parts I don’t like, and share my process for fixing those pesky issues that are keeping these knits from becoming wardrobe favorites. I’ll walk you through the tweaks and changes I’m making, from adjusting sizing and reshaping necklines to altering stitch patterns and adding those little finishing touches that make all the difference.
Whether you’ve got a few knits in your own closet that aren’t getting the love they deserve, or you just want to see how I approach revamping finished projects, this video is for you. It’s all about taking what you’ve already created and turning it into something you’ll actually wear and enjoy!
Don’t let your knits go to waste-learn how to make them work for you! Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell so you never miss a video. Let’s get those knits out of hiding and back into the rotation!

I just have to say how sweet and fulfilling it is to hear your spouse saying nice things about you to their friends. I always feel like I did something by just being a good person 😂 Best wishes for the kitties!
Me too, we love supportive spouses 🥰
Yes we do! I love knowing I am independent but still don't mind being treated like a princess lol
I absolutely get how you can be unmotivated about a project. I’ve been there.
Your vlogs are so entertaining and informative and inspirational!
I really enjoy this semi series of yours where you finish / fix things. I hope more RUclipsrs pick up this trend so I can watch other people finish their work while mine languishes in baskets.
Please read and try!!
My poor kitty suffered for YEARS with the same symptoms. It broke our hearts, and the multiple vets that we saw couldn’t tell us what was wrong. My poor Miles would scratch himself bloody if we didn’t get a steroid injection every 4 weeks. And bonus, they said that over time those injections would eventually not work anymore AND they would give him a heart murmur. Finally I just went on Amazon and looked for a medicated dog/cat shampoo to see if that would do anything. We did a bath once a week for a month, and it worked!! It’s been 2 years now and he’s never flared up again. 2nd best part: the shampoo is literally $9. It’s called “Veterinary Formula Clinical Care Antiseptic and Antifungal Medicated Shampoo for Dogs & Cats” Please give it a try! I essentially made a bubble bath in the kitchen sink with it, then washed his whole body with it in the hopes that it would get everything. I hope it helps!
Hope your at is soon getting better. Never thought there would be something like a cat dermatologist.
Thank you for not hiding the meal belly. Even for me as a grown a$$ adult woman it's so hard to find realistic images of realistic bodies to see how clothes fit.
You humming the Crocodile rock sounded just like some sort of a flute. :D I hope your cats are doing better! I totally understand feeling like there's only one way we should look like and it's super difficult to overcome but you look absolutely gorgeous in that tank top!
This video was very inspiring. I should have a look at some of my older knits. 😅
Totally get the feelings about Merry. We want them to be happy and healthy and oh man I wish they could talk!
I recently gave a knitted summer shirt to my sister because I knit it in a colour that I thought would suit me but I looked so washed out in it. Luckily it is my sister‘s favourite colour and she loves the shirt. win win 😊
I love kitties so much, so needless to say, the kitty portion of this video warmed my heart. I love your honesty about your knitting and your body, I could learn a few things! Bravo on the knitting fixes and the self drafted patterns!
I love that you mentioned eating a meal and sitting on the floor and having your stomach out for your knitting reveals. I ah e been admiring both your confidence in your skin and your style. I was raised in skinny culture and am trying to unpick those knots and become more comfortable in my post partum mom body.
Thank you 🥰 I know we are all in the same boat with those feelings. I’m definitely trying harder lately to make it up to myself for all the years of hating on my appearance.
Oh gosh you're just the cutest. And also just so yourself. It's always lovely to come over and have a chill with you while I'm knitting this damn summer top I started months ago and had to frog and redo four times already.
Four times!?!? I applaud the commitment
You make me laugh, don’t ever change, you are fantastic.
Seeing a video pop up makes me curious, always, you surprise us every time with your wit.
And not taking yourself too serious.
Never stress about the channel please, do as you feel like, it is the best content 🙂
As I hyper analyzer of movies I can tell you you can both enjoy it and pick it apart. As a matter of fact, that's my favorite part of movies. It's an art form and so there are things that are open to interpretation and I like to discuss it and think about it. Anyway, I'm excited to also watch trap
Being able to talk to my kittes especially when they are sick would be the first thing i ask a Genie. Hope one of the solutions mentioned in the comments works out !
Also love the idea of a solid tank in that pattern.
I have been crocheting for a couple years and am ready to dip my toe into knitting. Your videos are giving me so much motivation. I know it will probably be years before I reach this level but I am pumped to work towards it.
I was surprised after making my first sweater and how quickly the rest of the skills just fell into place. I know a few other knitters had the same experience. It dwells impossible until you do it. I’m trying to take the same approach to crochet and hopefully I’ll get better at that soon 😂 🧶
I had the same experience! I learned to knit in Dec 2023 and made my first sweater in Jan of this year, I don’t really wear it but I learned so much and now I’ve knitted like 10 sweaters that I love since then. You should give it a try!
@BreathingYarn I definitely had that experience with crochet, I did my first wearable earlier this year, and have since learned a lot. I am waiting on my needles to arrive and then am jumping in
Omg you look so good with jewelry, it‘s criminal 😍. Also, the alterations really paid off on all the pieces!
Thank you! 😊
I really missed your voice! Since I've finally gotten out of my crochet-slump and am picking up my projects, I can finally enjoy your videos to the fullest again. (I have to prioritise the backpack for my grandmother, but I was dreading the yarn and the lining.)
I really hope Marry is healthy again!
We do have to take our cat to the vet on the regular, because he is an inside/outside cat that doesn't get along with the other cats in the neighborhood. He gets hurt quite often. The scratches aren't that bad, they heal up, but the bites and deeper wounds are a problem, especially once they get infected.
As far as I've noticed:
Due to the generally looser skin on their body, cat's don't feel as much pressure around infected and puss filled areas. They do know that something is wrong and they will try licking the area clean. I once only noticed an infection on my cat because he had licked the area so much that his fur was missing there.
Since the skin around their legs is a lot tighter compared to the rest of their body, the infections there do cause more discomfort, which will likely result in either limping or the avoidance of putting weight on that leg while they are sitting or standing.
Injuries around the ears can be quite uncomfortable; my cat mostly keeps his ears unusually low when there is something hurting, but as far as I've noticed infections on the earlobe are rather rare (considering how often they get scratched). My cat did get a puss filled infection on the base of his ear once which the vet rinsed out with an antibiotic cream, we were supposed to rinse it out a few more times back home, but since there was no way for us to fiddle the syringe into the wound, we just used the blistering ointment, which the vet gave us along the antibiotic cream, on the area until the wound healed up properly.
So in conclusion: Cats definetly do feel pain and discomfort, but 1. they refuse to show it most of the time and 2. their licking and purring is their way of helping themselves.
So im happy to find you, the bonus is that my Soul cat was Perri and looked a lot like Merry ❤. You make me want to find this one sweater i put in the bad corner, and just address it, already! ❤
Give that sweater some love ❤️
That hopping away killed me 😂😂
Oversized and too small perfectly describes how chunky sweaters feel! I think because they are so thick they can feel constricting while still being too big.
Yes 🙌🏻 100%
Love the rolled hems, and they didn't roll much.
Sounds like what my cat has - it's food allergies that flair up in warmer season (mostly pimples on ears but also hairless belly is a sign). Cortison shot clears it right up, followed by food change. I'm also using a human hydrocortison creme on her ears for when it's mild. Ask your vet about it as a possible reason.
Cat dermatologist? What a scam. This is just a vet in our parts. Aren't they trained in all cat body parts? wtf..
@@nadiarogo4511humans are one single species and we have a ton of specialized doctors that your primary care doctor will refer you too. We even have to insure our teeth and eyes separately. Think of how many species a vet has to have knowledge on. It makes way more sense for veterinary medicine to be broken into specializations than human medicine.
I've had this thought for every video of yours that I've watched: I love your tansitions! The music you choose, the paisley vibes, the bright colors... I just love it
Also, running hot is totally a ginger thing and might come with your strawberry hair. I have redheaded sisters that run hot, and so has every other redhead I've met, no matter how much or how little red they may have
That’s so funny, I’m not looking forward to the day I get hot flashes 😂
@@BreathingYarn lol I don't think anyone looks forward to that 😂
Hey i am watching a lot of your videos currently and i really really enjoy it. You seem so so nice and honest at the same time and i feel like you have very nice values to share about knitting, the way we think and talk about ourselves ad the things we do/create and like life in general. So i wanted to say thank you, you make me think and rethink topics in a nice way and i feel like i can learn quite a few things from you. Not just from a knitting but also from a life perspective
Aweee that’s so sweet of you to say 🥹 thank you!
I love your videos. They always make me smile. I love that you are a big breakfast before filming. That is a great example for all of us. We are real people! 😊❤🧶
I really enjoyed this video idea! I am a bit newer to knitting and have made project that didn’t fit and it was helpful to see what your thought process was on some of the similar issues I was having. I’ve been watching your channel for about a year now and I’m always excited by your content! Hipe your baby girl feels better ❤
Thank you!!! 😊 I love knowing that I’m not the only one who finishes projects just to have them not turn out quite right
I saw you already got the advice, but still; try changing your cat’s food. Going from dry to wet food was what helped ours. Good luck!😊 And love from Sweden🌼🌼🌼
you inspire me endlessly!! I love that you normalize fixing projects that you aren’t quite happy with. I also loved the message about sitting in a “real” way when showing our knits rather than standing / tucking. I think we should wear what makes us feel the most confident or comfy, but we shouldn’t feel the need to present our bodies in certain ways to look societally acceptable.
This type of video gives me so much motivation! All your projects look great!
I hope Merry gets better soon, poor baby. It's always so difficult when they're unwell.
She’s better now :) it cleared up for now and hopefully stays that way
Love your Seaside Top! 🧶
Great video. I’m debating reworking a few FOs and you’ve given me food for thought.
I really love the red and white sweater, but it reminds me so much of marlboro cigarettes.
I have a tumble tee [Lydia Morrow] that I need to work on altering. I made it too cropped and finished the ribbing on the bottom too tight. [What I get for finishing it in a 4 hour car ride without internet to look up the tubular cast off lol]
I'm seeing Deadpool and Wolverine tonight with a friend and my partner and I have no plain stockinette to knit on while I watch! TT_TT
The bellverly Hills crop by BlametheKnots has great bell sleeves with the rolling hem which you might like.
I absolutely love the tshirt raglan you updated! The drape on it is so nice!
Fingers crossed for Merry! Hoping it's not an allergic reaction, but it would be an easy fix if it is!
Immediately clicked! Your videos are the best way I start my Sunday!
I can relate to the kitty’s story and financial strain that vet bills put on you, this year we had some financial issues and two of our cats literally got sick one after another and both of them ended up having surgeries (one being an emergency one), then 5 weeks of waiting for bone biopsy results.. it was an emotional and financial nightmare. Thankfully our kitties are all ok now and the money thing was solved but May and June were literally the worst. I wish all the best to your cat babies🥹🤞🤞🤞
OMG! That’s so stressful and devastating 🥺 im glad to hear everything worked out okay in the end but I’m sorry you and your fur babies had to go through that
Everything looks so much better. ❤ I am going through my finished projects now too and fixing things I don’t like.
Oh and if you liked hunger games books you might want to try the lightlark series. It’s similar but more fantasy. Every 100 years every region sends their leader to an island for 100 days to try and break a curse. The rulers all have powers (can fly, control water etc. ) except our main character, the leader of the Wildlings who was born without powers and has to try and hide that fact for the 100 day trials.
Ouuuu, that sounds really good
i love seeing these! it feels so productive - not that you have to be productive to enjoy the hobby ofc - and makes me want to pick up my needles
OMG you're so awesome, love your videos, relating hard. ❤
I really hope your kitty is ok, crossing my fingers :(
As for binding off - I always do it too tightly too, and the one method I've found that helps is crocheting it. Sometimes I even do a chain stitch between the stitches on the needles to really give it space.
She’s doing much better! And great tip!
I think you would look stunning in jewel tones, but you need to wear what you like yourself in, too. 😊
I just came across your videos a couple days ago. Love them! I’m going through all your streams. Question I’m a new knitter, how long have you been knitting? What tutorial is best to use for a new knitter for making a sweater?
Hi if it’s no too much could u tag me if she replies so I can come back to this comment?
@a_di_s - I learned how to knit in elementary school in a short after school program. We learned knit stitche, purl stitch, cast on and cast off. I did that for 12 years and then a few years ago I watched a combo of Kutovakika and Well Loved Knits videos to pick up new skills. For specific techniques, Nimble Needles is my favorite
@@BreathingYarn thank you for your response. I have been crocheting since I was 12(now 65) lol I can do the knit purl and bind off. I have made blankets (9 stitch) and several others, but really interested in attempting a sweater.
@@BreathingYarn wow thank u for tagging me in your reply. Btw I learn knitting techniques from nimble needles too!! That school program sounds really cool
@@a_di_s It was! I was really lucky my mom got me involved in that, I loved it as a kid.
Speaking of movies, have you seen Dream Sequence, the recent Nicholas Cage movie? My husband and I just watched it and it was…weird. But also pretty thought provoking. Would love to hear your thoughts if you have seen it!
I know the feeling of being so worried about your cats 😢 I hope you are able to help her feel better soon!
And FYI, there already is one prequel book (and movie) to The Hunger Games-The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. It’s about President Snow as a teenager. I read it a few months ago and thought it was just ok, not amazing. Maybe the next one will be better? 🤞
I have not seen Dream Sequence yet but I remember being intrigued by the trailer! I was also a little disappointed by Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. I’m hoping this next book is more character focused and in the moment (the the first hunger games book)
Let the haters screech and be damned! It's okay to say it: The cats are your BABIES.
I don't know if you have done this before but can you show the difference between your cats, when they come on screen I always want to know which one it is but can't tell and I feel bad, like I am hurting their feelings :(
It’s funny you mention that. I actually do have a clip at the very end of the video linked here (ruclips.net/video/eG58jwjuFaU/видео.htmlsi=searjyQ8XFcI8F8D) where I have a little section about telling my cats apart.
yes. to all of this. this is motivation to finish my one long standing WIP. Also, the collar on the coastal top is top notch. very well done
Ive been wearing it constantly since filming! I’m so glad I changed it
The earcuffs are your grandmother’s??? Cool grandma 😊
She was an artist. She was really cool. I have a pair of bright yellow overalls from her with matching huge lemon slice earrings. 🥰
@@BreathingYarn you sound so proud..that’s nice!!!
For our cat, we had to change to a low allergen diet and it curved over the course of a month
Your cats ear problems could be caused by allergy. Some food allergies are common in cats and it often manifests as skin and ear issues. It's hard to pinpoint what is causing the reaction, my cat seems to be allergic to grains and switching to grain-free cat food helped a lot. Also vacuuming more often seems to reduce symptoms so maybe she has dustmite allergy as well. Seasonal allergies are also possible if the symptoms seem to flear up during summer even if the cat is indoor only.
In my experience general vets aren't always that knowledgeable about cats and I have better experience taking my cats to vet clinics specialized in cats but those of course aren't always available or accessible.
How bout a big sigh/breath to start and end each video - odd but it would fit with the name breathing yarn 😄
That’s so funny because I don’t show it but that’s how I start and end every clip, taking a deep breath.
try switching your cats food, it could very easily be an allergic reaction
also, love the content. the ending was good too. ☺️
Could your cat be allergic to something? A new food, cleaner, kitty litter, or even something on your hands that when you touch your cats ears irritates it? Think about everything your cats paws touch before it cleans its ears. I'm just guessing, because I had a friend whose cat was allergic to his carpet cleaner product.
