Knitting and Designing a Colorwork Sweater From Start to Finish
#knitwithkika #knitting #colorwork
Hello and welcome to another knitting vlog where I design and knit an entire colorwork sweater from start to finish. Yes, in this video you'll both get to see the ups and many challenges along the way 😅
For this project I was really curious to see how long it actually takes to knit a sweater, as in how many hours of actual knitting it takes to complete an entire sweater, so I tracked the entire process ⏳
*This sweater is going to be part of a knitting pattern book that I'm currently working that is coming out in the Fall 2022 🎉
**Here's the link to download the free pattern for Marshmallow Beanie that I'm wearing in the video

***App that I used to design the color work pattern is called Knitting Chart

This sweater would take me 20 YEARS to complete, and I'm not a novice knitter. Kudos to YOU.
It's April, 2024. I just finished watching this whole video on how long it took you to knit your colorwork sweater. I love that you took the time to keep track of how long it took to knit. I am enjoying your tutorials as well. Also, my first time watching you was just before you had your son; wishing you all the best as a new mother. Thank you
I used to drive my husband nuts when I would start unraveling a project I wasn't happy with. 😊 He would say, "All that work. What are you doing?"🧶
I am always putting off knitting big projekts cause I am so scared to put so much effort and time on it just ti find out it doesn’t fit …
I'm a 60 year old knitter and figure I would still be knitting that when I'm 80...lol. amazing skill and talent. Just beautiful.
Kika!! There’s something about your videos that just makes them soooo enjoyable and pleasurable to watch, currently running to grab the sweater I’m working on and enjoy some knit time with you ! 💓💓
Not only is this an amazing and cute sweater knitting video, it is informative to both knitters and non knitters. Now when non knitters ask me to make something, with innocent ignorance about the labor involved, I can send them this video for reference, and I imagine it will change their perspectives about what they are actually asking for! 😆 Your personality is so fun, love your knitting content. 💗
So, I am a new knitter, but I am obsessed with your sweaters and have, like many people probably, bought enough yarn for like twenty sweaters, but maybe unlike many, I am not even able to knit a scarf. However, I am learning, and hopefully, one day, I will be able to knit as well as I crochet. 🧶 keep up the beautiful work you do.
🧶I have just found your channel so I am going back and watching old videos. You are so passionate and joyful, such a pleasure to watch.
🧶very nice!
I love that you're designing on the go. Planning everything in advance is hard and I noticed I prefer 'knitting to measure' instead of following a pattern blindly. But I sometimes feel like I'm doing it the wrong way when I need to unravel something because I don't like it. So nice to see someone else just accepting occasional unraveling as part of the proces😊 oh and 🧶😉
🧶 I recently returned to knitting...sorted out my stash and my wips, some of which had been almost finished for years. I also rejoined Ravelry and then my RUclips feed suddenly became alive with knitting channels that I didn't know were out there. Your channel is my new favourite. Your personality and the quality of your photography and editing lift it out of the usual.
🧶 I love the way you present your videos. Your honesty and openness with your struggles and watching you over come them is very encouraging for a newer knitter like myself💚💚
I just love your cheerfulness.. happiness!! And, of course, your videos are inspiring and helpful. Love the change in unraveling doing it different. Looks perfect and lovely on you. Thank you for the free hat pattern! Hope to get as good as you on knitting difficult things but, I'm still at simple. Knitting has been my love since 5 years old and now at 71, I'm trying more difficult things. Love,hugs,prayers to you and your beautiful family.
Watched to the end 🧶and really enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing it and especially for being honest about the errors. When I see fabulous knitters ripping out their beautiful creations, I don't feel so bad about having to rip out my own!! Your sweater is gorgeous and I love the colours. xx
Yep! I watched till the end. Amazed by your perseverance Kika. With that much pattern work I’m afraid it would be sitting in my “to be completed “ box for years. Knitting in the bath, lol. Oh my, you certainly have supportive parents. Cheers from unsnowy Australia.
🧶I just started knitting. Soon done with my first project (a scarf). Fell down the RUclips rabbit hole, it's inspiring to see the kinds of things I might be able to make as I get better!
🧶
🧶 Beautiful sweater pattern! I just loved watching your design process take shape. Can’t wait for your book to come out.
watching as I am winging my very first one colored sweater. I´m a beginner so I am just knitting back and forth, but I am doing it and enjoy watching and listening to your videos at the same time.
