For what it's worth, the striping from the yarns looks so deliberate to me that if I saw you in person, I'd assume that was what it was supposed to look like. I think it's a beautiful effect.
Honestly, I really REALLY love the stripes! They look both planned and organic/naturally-occurring-in-the-wild simultaneously; it's really a great unintended feature of the pieces, and it goes superbly with the cabling.
I think the stripes look cool, but I so appreciate how you're honest about an element of a project you worked hard on not working out quite how you wanted. It's frustrating when that happens! And it happens! To all of us! Not infrequently! Sometimes I delay working on sewing projects because I want to make sure they're gonna be perfect before I barrel in and "waste" the fabric but there's really no guarantees in making our own clothes and I know I'll be better off learning from each project as I go. So thank you for sharing with us how you handle this aspect of making! By sharing this you've encouraged me to jump back into a particular project I've been dragging my feet on.
I identify with this so hard!! Like, if i just plan well enough, measure perfectly, calculate every curve and inch... but that's just me procrastinating the inevitable. And the funny thing is, once I actually jump in, I have a blast and enjoy all that problem solving.
I like the striping even better than on the skirt! It has a kind of very elevated, sophisticated sportiness that gives it depth without competing with the cables or ribbing, so it’s visually interesting without being busy.
Genau, ich hätte es nicht besservausdrücken können, sportlich, elegant und dabei nicht langweilig und altbacken!👍🏻 Aber wenn es wirklich nicht gefällt dann vielleicht doch nachfärben? Aber dann weint mein Emoji 😿
Now that takes me back! I was given a 20 year old knitting machine way back in the late 60’s! It wasn’t as complicated as yours, and it was a joy to use, I made all my kids and my jumpers on it. Unfortunately the machine started to rust and I had to put it aside. I haven’t used one since. Your cable knit vest is gorgeous, the “striping” looks just right. Well done! 💐
I love the vest, and I understand how you feel about the striping of the yarn. If it’s making you not reach for these garments, then perhaps dying the finished garments could help. Thank you for sharing ❤
I LOVE the stripes! They give your piece so much more dimension + almost like a tweed look or something. Definitely fits so well with the vintage theme
omg, ribbing and cables and sewing on a knitting machine? WHAT WIZARDRY IS THIS!!!!!????? seriously, it's beautiful!! the striping gives it a lot of lovely character. definitely looks deliberate. wear it in the best of health! xoxoxoxoxoxo
I love how you encourage Nutella and welcome her into your videos 💗 lots of people apologize for their pets, but I love her place in your channel 🐕 I absolutely love to watch what you're making and see how you come to victory from what life throws at you. You're quite the inspiration for us 🦋 much love from Kentucky, USA! 💖
I actually really like the striping! Adds some character and variation to the color. I never would have thought you could do cables on a machine- that is so flipping cool!
It looks wonderful! Give yourself some credit. You did a really fantastic job, and I love the way the colors drift and pool in your finished vest. It certainly looks as though it were planned that way.
Yes please to the idea of a video about step by step converting hand knitting patterns to machine knitting patterns. I'm hoping machine knitting is making a comeback! It's incredibly satisfying to produce a knitted item in such a short time! Plus it has it's own creative possibilities vs the creative possibilities of hand knitting. Each is it's own pleasures!
Again, just like the skirt, the striping looks fab...and totally deliberate 👍 that colour with a white shirt underneath looks so smart too 😊a success I'd say 👍
I think the striping looks nice, the greens still match enough that it doesn’t distract from the cables at all so instead it’s just some subtle depth and looks like a design choice. On the other hand if I had made these pieces and I hadn’t intended for there to be striping it would absolutely drive me crazy so I understand your frustration completely. I really admire your ability to push through and complete a project that hasn’t gone 100% to plan. I’m very excited to see your capsule knit wardrobe come together!
I would personally over-dye (very carefully!) the skirt and vest with a dark green. I do think the striping looks intentional though, and it's totally a matter of personal taste!
It's been so much fun watching this series! To be honest, you're the reason I have my own knitting machine now lol. And you're making me want a ribber haha. But for real thank you so much for introducing me to machine knitting, I had given up hand knitting over the years because my wrists weren't up to it and it's been such a joy to make knits again. (Also I think the stripes are pretty!)
you have such unique videos and creative projects, always love to see what you're working on especially when you're making things that are meant to go together!
I am really enjoying this series having just started working with a vintage silver reed machine I was gifted. I would love to see a video about how you do your pattern conversion! The capsule wardrobe is turning out beautifully! 🧶 Cher
I love seeing you make things on the machine! Reminds me of my childhood. My mom made sweaters on machine for a sweater company back in the 80s. I have a vintage Passap machine and ribber and have it set up but I haven't put in the time to figure out all the stuff. I also have a portable brother machine that just does stockinette. I have been wanting to 3d print and rig the carriage to knit by computer instead of the intense core workout! The cables look so fun and elegant! I love how yarn works. Excellent progress on the capsule wardrobe. You look amazing!
The vest looks great! Congratulations on figuring out how to do the cabling and making it work so well! I'll second what others are saying as well -- and what I said about the skirt -- the stripes add depth and texture to both pieces, and in regards to the vest, they do so in a way that's still subtle enough to not detract from the cables but to enhance them in my view. I definitely understand the frustration of not planning for something and not quite realising your vision, but in this case, I think this might be one of those "happy little accidents" Bob Ross always talked about. Honestly, I especially love it with the vest because it comes off to such great effect and compliments the cables so nicely. I would never imagine in just seeing it that you hadn't intended to create it that way because it's such a uniquely lovely effect!
I like the stripes but appreciate how you articulated your reservations. It reminds me a little bit of that moment in drawing or painting when the artwork starts veering into an unexpected direction and you have to decide whether this is a time for 1) self-discipline about realizing the original vision or 2) humility to trust that the new thing is worthwhile. The stripes seem lovely, but I bet your original vision was also splendid.
It's your vest, so you don't have to love the striping, but I love the striping! It's random, yet it looks intentional, and it works with the cabling really well.
Good job ! I love the result, the yarn looks hand dyed with those color changes so I think it gives it a great look. Thanks for sharing the names of the other channels to learn how to use a knitting machine. I'm gonna dive into it !
Your video came at the perfect time. Just what I needed. Being in a happy place. Wow that sounded creepy. Sorry, I enjoy your videos. Thank you for putting so much work into it
Oh I love this! I can’t wait to see how all of these pieces come together into a wardrobe. Also I could watch your slow motion knitting machine for so long. Those cables are so beautiful.
I can't lie, the stripes are my favourite part of this project! and they really complement the lovely simplicity of the few cables you've done :D I'm so tempted to make my next project include stripes made that way (should probs get the winter gift knitting done first though)
I'm a crocheter and have no plans to learn how to knit in the foreseeable future, but I love watching your videos! I find them relaxing and satisfying. I especially love seeing you use your knitting machine ♥
I really like this. It's really lovely. All this makes me think that I would love to give this a try too! I don't have time for all my sewing, knitting, and other crafts. I cannot start something new! I will repeat that statement over and over again!!
I love your videos! The machine slow-mo was deeply satisfying, and the reveal was spectacular. The random striping looks great. What I like about your channel is that you don’t gloss over mistakes. It’s so relatable and real. I’m a fan for all your creative ventures. P.s. the chocolate chip cookie was a baking mistake. A most favorite mistake. 🍪
It is SO COOL seeing the teeth of the knitting machine with the ribber on move :D I still really like the Striping on the vest? I think it looks much more interesting!
For anyone wanting to learn knitting machines as a non knitter, my friend serviced and learned to knit on my knitting machine with no previous knitting or knitting machine experience. It took a few hours to get it up and running (I got it free from someone so it needed some tlc) the only things I really helped with as a knitter was fixing dropped stitches, teaching him to seam, and casting off tension
I promise I am enjoying the video 😆 - at 8:33 you mention having issues with end needles and *girl i feel your pain* I 100% have to pull the end needles out for certain projects. Electronic machines can do this for you automatically 🤤 honestly life-changing
That’s true! Very “use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without”! What thrifty 1940s woman wouldn’t be proud to unravel two old sweaters and make something this lovely of them?
The vest looks great :) I think the color striping looks very deliberate, both on the vest and the skirt. I would love it if you made a video about converting your knitting patterns to machine knitting! Its what has me scared to use my machine much.
Check out knitfactoryimpl here on RUclips, she has some great projects she's made, and she codes her patterns so you can do your swatch, put in your numbers and get a pattern!
@@jessicaneal8553 lol I dont even know how to plug. Did she do a "for dummies" breakdown of how to use her software ever? I couldnt find one and when she just runs through it at the beginning of her projects its like Greek to me
The edge stitches skipping is the bane of many a machine knitter. I ended up buying small claw weights for the edges, and have even used big bull paper clips and big bread clips to stop the edges dropping. I use them on my circular machines too 😊
I couldn't see the stripes on the skirt, but I did get a good look at them in this video. I have to say they look really good, almost like a skein of hand dyed tonal yarn.
I'm really attracted to the original pattern that you worked from...i love that the cables go on either side of the neckline. Could you let us know where to get that pattern? ❤. I really appreciate your vintage knits and seeing how they are computed, it's fascinating 😊 🧶
I understand why the stripes bother you, but they look really great. I've bought tonal yarns dyed to stripe in similar ways and that's what this looks like. It adds texture and color to the knit and personally, I think it looks better than it would without the stripes. But that's just me.
I love the coloring in rhe skirt!!! I truly enjoy watching your videos and your inspiring!! This video was very well edited and the super slow mo was ligit!!!
I really love these knitting machine videos! I have an SK700 with the ribber and I've been trying to figure out what I want my first garment make to be. I think you've sold me on the vest.

It almost has the same look as Fibonacci stripes.

Totally off-topic, but Nutella’s slow-motion ‘high-five’ was absolutely delightful!
Now that takes me back! I was given a 20 year old knitting machine way back in the late 60’s! It wasn’t as complicated as yours, and it was a joy to use, I made all my kids and my jumpers on it.

Thank you for sharing ❤
Those slomo images of the knitting needles of your knitting machine are very satisfying to watch. I could watch that for a long time
I LOVE the stripes! They give your piece so much more dimension + almost like a tweed look or something. Definitely fits so well with the vintage theme
I am so loving this series. I've started half sewing half knitting a capsule wardrobe inspired by this project. I absolutely love these videos.
That vest is super freaking cute!
Awww Nutella putting her paw out for your pointed finger was so stinking cute! Also good job on the vest and skirt!
omg, ribbing and cables and sewing on a knitting machine? WHAT WIZARDRY IS THIS!!!!!?????
seriously, it's beautiful!! the striping gives it a lot of lovely character. definitely looks deliberate. wear it in the best of health! xoxoxoxoxoxo
The vest is so beautiful! I think striping ads a bit more character to the vest; it looks lovely, what a great work 🤩

That turned out beautifully. Well done.
It's such a mood that you're watching Sims 4 videos in the background! :D
I think your dog is helping you point things out and yes that was really cute
It looks wonderful! Give yourself some credit. You did a really fantastic job, and I love the way the colors drift and pool in your finished vest. It certainly looks as though it were planned that way.
Omg I love that little Nutella paw that came into frame.
The two different shade stripes work together so nicely! I would wear this vest, it's gorgeous!

The striping looks great and authentically 1940s make do and mend in spirit.
Love the slow motion sliding needles ❤❤❤
you posted this video about 5 seconds after i finished watching the skirt video! i loved the skirt and this is gorgeous
The slow motion shots are so mesmerising! This is a brilliant video in every way. Tgank you for sharing 🫖
Again, just like the skirt, the striping looks fab...and totally deliberate 👍 that colour with a white shirt underneath looks so smart too 😊a success I'd say 👍
The stripping is making the cables pop so pretty

I know no one can change how you feel about the stripes, but honestly, I LOVE it! It’s subtle and looks beautiful.
It's obvious that Nutella keeps you sane ❤
It turned out BEAUTIFULLY!1 The striping is fantastic! I prefer it with the striping.
I think it looks fabulous. Strips and all. ❤
The close up footage of the knitting machine is most excellent! Great camera work!
Congratulations on winning the yarn chicken face off. I will never be using a knitting machine, but it is fascinating to see what is possible.
I actually love the stripes. And you did a beautiful job overall. Looking forward to seeing all four pieces completed.
I just realized the fabric that I'm working with for a sewing video matches your sweater at the beginning of this video😊
I would personally over-dye (very carefully!) the skirt and vest with a dark green. I do think the striping looks intentional though, and it's totally a matter of personal taste!

you have such unique videos and creative projects, always love to see what you're working on especially when you're making things that are meant to go together!
Again, love the stripes on the vest, such a cool feature !
The stripes look like it's variegated yarn and it's so so beautiful
This is stunning! I really do love the striping effect. Beautiful work. ❤
i had no idea that the "stripes" weren't intentional. It looks great. Very subtle to me. Nice "texture" look.
The striping looks great! It seems deliberate and if you hadn't said it was not what you wanted, no one would ever know!
the striping just looks like that's the way the yarn was dyed and how it worked up! both the skirt and vest are lovely pieces :))
I am really enjoying this series having just started working with a vintage silver reed machine I was gifted. I would love to see a video about how you do your pattern conversion! The capsule wardrobe is turning out beautifully! 🧶 Cher

I'm so impressed! I think the striping makes it look more interesting, kind of like the variations in color in a long view of the ocean.

I am so excited am about DFW vest. This is a wonderful video with the slo-mo and the time lapse.
I have so much respect, admiration, and adoration for the content, you, this project and insane machine that you’ve learned to use, and pup.
