51:01 FINISHING: How To Steam Block Your Sweater

[Ali-yovl]

So smart of you to make videos for your patterns. I'm still new to knitting and bought your book months ago but haven't made anything yet because I realized I'm a visual learner, especially when I'm first starting to learn something. Both of your recent sweater videos have clarified so much for me. Thank you so much! I did not expect to have the desire to knit fall/winter clothes in the spring/summer but here we are.

Finished my salty days sweater today!!! 7 months later. I am a very slow knitter but it was worth it. Thank you

[zibaharding]

I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for your lovely patterns and EASY to read patterns! I bought the pattern from ravelry and doing the pattern and the moment I feel unsure I look at your video and gives me such a relief to see there is help here! you are AMAZING :) Honestly for a person who has started her knitting journey from Youtube videos I am just so thankful your patterns are so incredibily easy to read and follow! again, THANK YOU X

[MGrace]

I love how happy and bubbly you are in all your videos!

[ThisIsJaysWorld]

This is the sweater that made me want to learn to knit. This one and the Arctic Light Sweater. I saw a picture of it once and was like “I must learn to do that so I can have this sweater”

[annika]

The same I put the video on, the sound. My bird start to sing! It's fun that my bird also like you😀

[emilielovesevie]

The genius of your channel is the tutorials that go along with the patterns. For a semi inexperienced knitter like me it’s been a game changer. I have purchased and made this far the cinema sweater and the darling cardigan. Salty days are on my needles and I just bought the love letter too and another cardigan. Please keep making the tutorials with the patterns!!!! Thank you!

[LottieDude]

I love this pattern and the tutorial, I changed the sleeve design for me because I didn't like it getting so tight! Chart C (especially row 5) is the most confusing part of this pattern so I think you should do a tutorial for that!
Thank you for the lovely pattern and tutorial ❤

[katyajohanna]

I just finished mine and it looks soo pretty. Thank you so much for the amazing Pattern. I got never bored working on it even though it took me 2 months with everything going on in life. But even on busy days I felt motivated to reach for this project when I relaxed in the evening.

[nancycox]

Not only a beautiful pattern but an absolutely terrific tutorial plus your charming presentation! Thank you! Love your color choices too!

[melissalo]

Please do more tutorials! I’m a beginner and have been avoiding knitting sweaters flat but this video really helps my confidence to give it a try!

[cardiganwhorder]

The grey fabric after blocking looks exquisite!! Love the design and can't wait to knit this up.

[lupepedraza]

I'm knitting this sweater right now, and I must say, this is the best explained tutorial and written pattern I have EVER knitted. I'm enjoying it so much and I feel you are right here with me knitting it along. Thanks.

[sandradearing]

This tutorial MADE ME HAVE TO GET THIS...I was thinking it was super difficult...but not really after you explained this. TY for the way you communicate Every one of your sweater tutorials has been super enlightening. <3, PEACE & Axle grease! <3

[daliaashkenazi]

This is my second sweater that I have knitted according to your instructions. I really enjoyed knitting this beautiful sweater, the instructions were very clear and detailed and I intend to knit more of your sweaters and cardigans. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Ooooo!! I LOVE this sweater! The collar, and the dropped sleeves, those textures!! 💜🧶💜

[sylviavandersman]

Knitting this sweater with yarn from my stash. Fun making it, never boring. Need your videos, I'm from the Netherlands. 😻

[Brott]

I cannot wait to start knitting this beautiful sweater. Thank you so much for the pattern and your dedication to enable viewers to make something to be proud of!

[natalyafomina]

Million thanks for the tutorial. Knitting seems to be so easy and effortless with your videos, but I’m aware of a great deal of time and effort and work done behind the scene. Thank you for sharing!

[julieedwards]
