I feel like for a lot of knitters because they're so experienced they don't explain anything in the pattern, and I get that. But when you're a beginner it's really annoying. I bought the yarn for a pattern from garnstudio (I know. I know) and since their pattern is already hard to decipher, not explaining anything as to how you increase and why at this specific spot, makes it really hard. So thank you. Thanks a lot!

This video is SO HELPFUL. I've never really understood how this type of sweaters worked. But now I feel confident enough to start mine. Thanks!

What a brilliant tutorial! As some have already noted for beginners at times we love a pattern that is beginner friendly but the video tutorials are missing steps, reminders or explainations. Brilliantly you have mastered a true tutorial that is beginner friendly. I can not wait to begin this make. Your actual showing of the swatches make so much sense to see visual the outcome of stitiches from various yarns to include the transfering of another needle. Thank you for gifts and talents in such a wonderful and yes again, BRILLIANT tutuorial.

If you can, please make more videos. I watched this a while back and came back to find it again because it's so good and made knitting a sweater seem more possible than ever. Would love to see another raglan or just more techniques. Also, the diagram explaining the collar and the markers is amazingly helpful. Thanks so much!

I’ve never knitted, but now am seriously considering it. I am starting to watch instructional videos and follow up with a very plain project, as I wish to master at least two primary stitch types, and proceed from there.

We had a beautiful Persian Ginger cat, who I rescued following a massive and rather destructive tropical storm in our city. We named her Molly. Like your beautiful Molly, she always supervised all work we were engaged in, be it splayed on the laptop keyboard, reading a book, or anything else. Kitties are indeed special. Thank you for sharing your ideas and time. Kisses and “scritches” to Molly.
❤️🌷❤️

Top down knitting is everything! Also love your yarn choice! I might work with 2 strands of something similar in future!

[aspengrey]

That sweater is top tier. So cozy, chic and beautiful .

[Nicolescorpiodragon]

This is the best explanation of the stitching process for a top down raglan knit I've seen. You have really great camera work and it makes it easy to see each step. Thank you.

Thanks for this. I am a noob to making jumpers(I think I made one when I was a teenager), and have dabbled in knitting continuous lengths . I love the look of home made jumpers, but have avoided investing some time into it. I love sewing on my machine and am crafty by nature. I will give it a go now, if you don't try something you don't know how you will be with it!!

I bought your pattern and this is my first time ever knitting anything (I’m a crocheter)... I’m a little confused on the “raglan” term but hopefully I will get it! I just finished the collar and it doesn’t look bad 🤩

I also am using 3 strands of yarn bee romantic yarn 🧶 I hope it comes out! If not, I’ll try again lol

I was struggling with M1L so much but they way you do it is sooo much easier! Thanks

[sheenamatherne]

Your videos are helping me so much. I have such a hard time keeping track of my stitches and where I am in the pattern. Thanks!

[earthyandfree]

Will you make a detailed video of every detail? Like how to make every stitch, how to do it all?

[ChibiChidorii]

😍 you made raglan so easy to understand

[glendakollm]

I love love the sweater you are wearing in this video!! Do you have a tutorial on this one too?😅

[ahodgepodgeofaudgepaudge]

I just bought your sweater vest pattern this morning! I’m so excited 😍

[blu]

Love the sweater you're wearing, will you be releasing a pattern for it ?

[PeaceLoveAndRico]

I'm doing bottom up in 100% cotton for my desert dwelling butt. This video was helpful Greatly, I am grateful...

[emmanuelleh]

Your videos are really well made ! I'm still trying to learn crochet but I'm definitely considering trying my hand on knitting soon. I'll go straight to your store as soon as I do ! (Also how cute are your cat's little white paws...)
