Everything I Knitted in 2021 & Tips I Learned #knitwithkika
Wow, year 2021 has really ben a huge year in terms of knitting for me! and in this video I wanted to go through and share everything I've knitted with you, as well as some of the tips I've learned.
There's something very satisfying in seeing what you actually managed to finish, because sometimes it just feels that pile of works in progress never gets any smaller... 😅

I feel like I've become a better knitter and knit designer this yea, and in the video I'm also revealing a big project I'm working on right now for next year- very exciting!

I hope you enjoy this video!

I am so excited for you Kika...you talk about that book all you want to. I'll be first in line to purchase it! I've already knitted your hat and will be knitting a couple of the sweaters when your book is released. Love from Florida...patti 💞💞💞

Just found your channel. I haven’t knitted in almost 30 years but you’ve sparked a desire to start again. My two favorites are the striped and Juki sweater. Thank you for sharing! Look forward to seeing your book.

2022 is going to be the year I learn to knit, thank you for the inspiration!

[sequoiaz]

That oversize sweater you're wearing is gorgeous! Very excited to hopefully be able to make something like this when I improve

[agnieszka]

I’m test knitting for you but I’m definitely buying the book when it’s out! It’s such a milestone, congratulations! 🍾 🤗

[sueannemade]

As someone with broad shoulders I really appreciate the raglan and drop shoulder style of these beautiful sweaters! It's such a treat to see you doing what you naturally love. All the best and congratulations on the book. I can't wait to try filling my closet with these knitted beauties!

[sammym]

I love the sweater you are wearing on this video... so gorgeous! I am inspired. Thank you! You are a pleasure to listen to and watch...

[margaretroberts]

I can hardly wait for your knitting book! Your style of sweaters are exactly the style I love!! I am almost finished The Sunday Brunch Sweater! Soooo much fun to knit! Thank you!

[loritaylor]

I can soooo relate! I love your honesty about having to push yourself to finish projects and actually complete the last bit of something. I have a drawer full of these things! I also love that you're willing to make mistakes and start over, or improve for the next time. Thanks for sharing. I really like the variety of styles so it's hard to pick a favorite. I'm inspired. Congratulations on your book and I can't wait for it to come out.

I came because of your photography videos and stayed for the knitting videos.

Merry Christmas.

I really like your sweaters, they’re all wonderful. Today I was knitting half a day when suddenly discovered your channel on youtube, and now besides already 2 projects in progress, after watching your videos, got more inspiration for upcoming knitting “to do’s”. Looking forward on seeing more videos from you. 😊

Hi! Do you use 100 % cashmere as well? I always wear 100 % cashmere.
I am almost 70 and did knit a lot in my life. My first jumper i knitted for myself when i was only 10 ;)
My mom told me how to do it, but i did not want to let her knit one single stitch ;) i wanted it to do all by myself.
Later in life i knitted quite a few jumpers for myself and two ( big ones!) for boyfriends.
And more later i knitted for my children and grandchildren.
14:30 is my favorite. Love the colors! Regards from the Netherlands.

Isn’t that an amazing feeling to stack the beautiful items you made & then inhale the familiar yarn smell! I used to have only one or two WIP’s ( mainly because I was a single Mom and had to buy yarn as I used it). Now I have about 12 cardigans and pullovers in the making. I also have a bag or two I’m struggling with. I have some memory problems and I find bags are tricky. I just keep at it and know when to take a break. I live vicariously thru you wonderful designers. I’m disabled with severe arthritis as well as heart & lung issues. But I can still crochet. In another life I would have a YouTube channel. For now, I enjoy channels like yours!! Unless you have your hair up, and someone is staring at the bobbles, they won’t notice. How about if you hand embroider, or use ribbons and tiny ready made flowers, etc. around the bobbles in a simple design that helps them look symmetrical. Ribbons tied into bows (the same color as the sweater) would be adorable. You could make them look like Christmas ornaments!!

Wow I love all of them 💗 you are so creative and this is the reason why I love your channel. Love from India.

Just came across your videos and I am thoroughly enjoying them. I am looking forward to your book, I'm in love with the lace yoke sweater! All your sweaters are gorgeous! I love being able to watch knitters from different parts of the world and to see their different styles. Living in the southern US, I don't have the opportunity to wear all the sweaters I knit. That doesn't stop me from knitting more. I do knit a lot of cotton and linen in the summer time. Looking forward to more of your videos in the coming year!

[annelombardi]

Congratulations on your book deal! I'm not much of a knitter but I still enjoy your channel and I re-watch your photography videos. Good luck

[emilybuller]

😩 your “failed” brushed alpaca knit was one of my favorites. I like that it’s not a super perfect or traditional sweater. I really love it.

[cathylampshire]

I just discovered your channel and really enjoyed it. I have knitted and crocheted "on and off" for many years but always seem tp stop as patterns became too involved or difficult for me. You have given me the the spirit to continue. I really like the fact you held up your finished sweaters for us to see. In doing so I was able to see the light showing through many of them and I realized how light and soft many of the yarns were which were used. I have used yarn that makes my things too heavy looking and feeling which I believe is from using cheaper polyester type yarns. A whole new world has opened for me!
