I've been putting it off for so long because we've been getting our first home and moving, but finally I'm ready to start making my harvest cardigan. I'm so glad I'll have this tutorial to knit along with. Would love it if you end up doing another knit along in the future. Hope you're well!

Hi Tina. My name is Maria and I'm from Michigan in the U.S. I'm a retired 8th grade English teacher and I now work part time in a lovely little knit shop. I want to thank you so much for your wonderful knitting videos. I am really enjoying them. I had gotten away from knitting socks because the dpns were really a bother for me. I watched your video on knitting socks on 9 inch circulars and tried it. I absolutely love it. I'm on my third pair of knitted socks now on those wonderful little circular needles. Thank you so much. I'm having a great time knitting socks again due to your videos. They really are fabulous. I'm also enjoying your book reviews, sewing and cross stitch videos as well. Thanks again for taking the time to put out such informative and entertaining videos.

I know this is an old video but I gotta say, these KALs are so helpful. I’m by no means new to either knitting or crochet either, and have crocheted (and knitted)several garments over the years. I DO struggle with reading and interpreting patterns however, and I AM totally new to the whole circular knitting thing. Have a jumper on a 100 cm circular(5mm needles) atm, and have been watching your KALs to help me through the sticky bits lol. So far it appears to be working lol. So thank you for the assistance. Might just give this a go when I’m done with the current piece.

Yeah, I'm all ready to go, nearly finished my Rose City Rollers, got the yearn, looking forward to starting & learning the new cast on method, thanks Tina

So excited you’ve done another tutorial-a cardigan! I’ll definitely be making this one with you later this summer. It gives us confidence to see you do it & have the help understanding the pattern. Thanks very much for making these videos! I plan to see all your tutorials!

I'm so excited about doing this cardigan. Won't be able to start for a few weeks, but love all of your tutorials. Working on socks, and the flax right now.

I am really looking forward to knitting this sweater. Your tutorials are greatly appreciated!

[chrisclaassen]

Thank you for doing these tutorials. I will be finishing the second sleeve on the flax and should be ready to start next week. Looking forward to starting the next project.

Hi Tina, I'm going to make this cardigan for my great niece - I'm going to buy some yarn this weekend at Berlin Knits:) I'm excited to be able to follow along another one of your tutorials.

[snvazquez]

I love your tutorials! I love your color yarn choice too! thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[deef]

perfect !! I had a Madewell on the needles that wasn't going that well (pun) it's hibernated about 6 months and I had planned to pull it out and the Harvest was on my list of possible new cast ons . You helped me thru the flax with your tutorial so I am looking forward to this one.

[RomyDandelion]

Exciting! When I've finished my baby-flax (one more sleeve to go) I'm going to join in =)

[DanielleHerzog]

LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos! I followed along with you for the Flax sweater and it was awesome. Now I'm getting ready to do the Harvest sweater watching you but was wondering how I can change the pattern so I can use chunky yarn? I'd love for this to be more of a chunky cardigan. Let me know what you think! Thanks so much.

[StitchesSeams]

I'm excited about this one! Is there anyway you could demonstrate magic loop for the sleeve. I have a 16" circular needle that I'd like to use as opposed to buying another set. Looking forward to this, thank you!

[gerriewalraven]

Like iT Very much ...and make one ...love from Holland..😘

[Loveleione]

This is amazing! I am nearly finished knitting the Worsted Boxy (my very first sweater) and I have the yarn and the pattern all set to do the Harvest cardigan next. How did you know?? :)

[elaine]

Hi, again thank you for getting back to me on previous comments. Could I just ask, I am fairly good at knitting and purling on straight needles. However I have never knitted on circular needles is it just as easy? I am just hoping I can do it - as you can guess I am not feeling very confident. Thanks again for your lovely videos.

Hi Tina, I am about to start making this harvest cardigan and I am using the same wool as you. I have done my gauge but have 20 stitches to the 4" so I will have to go up a needle size. The only thing that is causing me some confusion (and believe me it doesn't take much to confuse me:)) Is this cardigan knitted all in one size needle 4mm or 5mm?
Never knitted a cardigan on circular needles before and I am use to doing the ribs on the smaller needle size and the body on the bigger size needle. Sorry if all this seems a bit daft but I just want to make sure I am going in the right direction.

Hi Tina I was wondering how hard it would be to make the whole collar and plackets down the front so it would bend over and have a shawl collar. If it's at all complicated let me know because this is my first sweater. I already watched all the tutorials and they were so good I feel prepared to do it for real now with your tutorials. But I will stick to the exact pattern if there is a chance I will get confused. Thanks Gale
