Hahaha. Awww. Naivety can land a person neck-deep in all sorts of crazy projects. I'm so glad I worked through to the end :) Thanks for watching and for your comment :)
You did an incredible job as a beginner knitter! I just found your account looking for Victorian knitting patterns and I'm very glad I did. I'm inspired to make my own cycling sweater 🧶🧶
You did a wonderful job, I've always wanted to knit this for myself, but I can simply never bear to finish sweaters. You forgot to mention what the mistake was with the fancy stitch, that you forgot to read the third and fourth rows. From what I understand, it's a two-by-two checkerboard stitch.
Thank you for this. The pleating is what I've been struggling to wrap my head around, so this is really helpful! Plus I'm making a pink one too; pink ftw ❤
Ohhhh, I'm so happy that I'm not the only one who struggled with the pleating! And I'm glad that my thinking aloud could help :) I'm pleased with the volume that my pleating arrangement afforded, but have found that there is still a tendency for everything to droop as the day wears on. My solution to this was to add a small tack to the underside of the box pleat about four inches down from the shoulder seam. Experiment with a large safety pin to see if this might work for you.
Thank you so much! I've been intimidated to start this project due to my lack of experience and having to "translate" the old pattern. I feel a bit more prepared now. I absolutely love this sweater and yours looks gorgeous!
Thank you for the video, very useful! I am working on the same sweater right now and it's always nice to see how other knitters are interpreting the pattern!
Thanks for the comment!! I tried to go over and show all of the bits that I struggled with grasping (and couldn't find info from other knitters). I have been playing with the fancy pattern concept this week post-project. Trying to decide if "work back" means work backwards or work the back leg ... but I'm sure this is more the fault of my lack of experience knitting than anything ☺️ Would love to know how you interpreted this, if you wouldn't mind sharing.
@@24WashingtonI think what they mean is something like this: 1st row: k2, p2 2nd row: knit all stitches that appear knit, purl all that appear purled 3rd row: knit all stitches that appear purled, purl all that appear knitted 4th row: like second This creates a pattern of small square 'blocks'. I didn't quite like the way it looked though. It's an entirely different stitch from the one used in the Met sweater. So I Googled around for a bit and it turns out the stitch used in the Met sweater is called 'zig zag rib'. I used this tutorial: ruclips.net/video/DJjAef_XH-c/видео.html I'm really happy with how it turned out!
Great info, thanks! I did notice that the k2p2 as you described seemed to change in appearance if I worked the front vs. back legs. But I need to experiment more.
I’ve been knitting over 20 years. I have not been brave enough to even look at the pattern for this sweater. 😂
Well done to you!

I'm always brought to mind of Open University with your videos. Pure, unadulterated learning. Awesome!
Thank you ☺️
