Hi Kika, this video is very instructive and your patterns are really very clear. I can testify that thanks to you and your tutorial video I managed to knit my first ever garment, your Sailor Swift pattern. When I once asked for help on your support mail I got an answer in a couple of days, so definitely I can say that I had a great first knitting experience thanks to you!! And English is not my language , I'm french, proof that you really are a very good teacher! Thanks a lot , I will definitely knit your last Darling cardigan if it's in my abilities! Many thanks from Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean!

@user-kk1yt2ez3h 7 месяцев назад

I've been a knitter now for many years, and your patterns are some of the best I've seen, and I've seen a lot. I've seen patterns that I would love to knit, but the instructions seem all over the place, which puts me off totally. Thank you for your hard work and for inspiring me to knit with confidence. ❤

@constancehutchison1358 7 месяцев назад

Hi Kika. I am currently knitting your Salty Day Sweater. This is a mammoth task for me because I have always knitted bottom up and never top down. Also the English method of knitting for many years. I hever never knitted on circular needles, with 2 skeins of wool nor followed a chart !! It is a labour of love for me. I have had to pull it back and restart a few times, especially if someone calls and interrupts when I am trying to concentrate. Your patterns are so clear and your online tutorials a huge help. I am perservering and am determined to finish it. I bought your recommended yarn which is lovely to work with, but only 2 shops here in France stocked it. Thank you for this tutorial keep producing your lovely patterns.

@sharonvance9531 7 месяцев назад

I think the sweater you are wearing in this video is the most beautiful of all your sweaters. Looking forward to buying and knitting this sweater. Thank you so much. From oklahoma city, okkahoma. USA

@dominikatimkova164 7 месяцев назад

I love your videos. I can't finish reading my favorite book because...............I'm watching your videos😂❤👍🙋You are very skilled😌

@ImkeEmmelmann 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for your videos - I just looove them 🥰 They are always very entertaining. Lots of other people on RU-vid just sit in front of the camera talking while your videos are always fun with nice music, lots of pretty backgrounds (I almost couldn't concentrate because of that amazing yarn wall in the background 😃) and different video clips while you explain things. Please keep on doing such a great job. It is a pleasure to learn from you and to see your enthusiasm talking about knitting. By the way I liked your "A week in my life as a knitwear designer" video a lot. Maybe you can do that again some time? 🙂 Sending lots of love from Germany, Imke 🙂

@andreamiller6200 7 месяцев назад

What a gift this is. I am very comfortable with knitting socks, but am venturing out into sweaters and who better to learn from than who I think of as a superb designer who can really take me the whole way forward. Thank you for this very exciting series! ❤

@anitaprashar8657 7 месяцев назад

Yes I have been knitting for a long time but have great difficulty following the patterns! ❤ watching your videos (just recently found your RU-vid channel)

@christinac4693 7 месяцев назад

Teaching myself how to knit. Not so easy. But this video very helpful. Excited for the next one on more abbreviations and to see how to do the stitch.

@nnn7886 3 месяца назад

Kika you inspired me to start knitting after learning crochet less than 2 years ago. Im making a top right now and its going well! I love your work so much.

@elenageorgiadou5524 7 месяцев назад

I love how you explain things so clearly! I recentrly tried knitting for the first time and made your knitted summer tank top, but with straight needles and just one strand of fingering yarn. What I found difficult was how to correct mistakes, so I would love a video from you explaining how to pick up dropped stitches (when knitting or purling), how to pick up dropped stitch that goes all the way to the cast on row, or what to do if it is the edge stitch, how to unravel one or more rows and then get the loops back on the needle, and other such things.

@neurolotte2406 7 месяцев назад

Yes! A video about correcting mistakes would be sooo helpful, great suggestion!

@unboxedana9964 7 месяцев назад

This video was really helpful. I’m dyslexic and often I find patterns could definitely be improved when it comes to how they’re written. I would really like to become a test knitter as I think I might be able to offer another perspective that would make the pattern more accessible to people. But videos for patterns are also a big help! I’ve always found your patterns really easy to read ☺️

@saffronmeadow2469 4 месяца назад

I sometimes take the written knitting into a text file from the downloaded pattern. Then i can put line breaks in where it means something to me and separate out sections to be repeated. Then I put it onto a word document and use the hightlight function to emphasise specific bits

@marinamarchese9876 7 месяцев назад

Thank you Kika.. a fine teaching video! Explanations are clear with actual visuals to accompany them. Love also your enthusiasm. You make it seem like these are approachable and reachable goals. Kudos!

@cheryllfarmer2975 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for this video. Love the cardigan you're wearing 👌🥰

@marinamarchese9876 6 месяцев назад

Oh Kika.. thank you so much for demystifying this cryptic knitting language!! I admit I have been demoralized when looking at a knitting pattern. I have started some projects and lost my way. You have given me some hope. I feel more confident. I think... Kudos on your video that attempts to do this.

@roos7631 7 месяцев назад

This is such a great video! I started with knitting garments a year ago, and I have knit one of your patterns as well. It was so clear and easy to follow (I wished that my first knitted garment was with one of your patterns). This video is also a great source of information. I'm gonna remember it to show to friends that will try to get into knitting patterns. Keep going, I love all the thing you make🧶

@adaquinoyortiz6334 7 месяцев назад

good video! Please do one explaining how to fix mistakes, or dropped stitches, etc. I also love the sweater you are wearing.

@Alaskaventureswithbrodie 7 месяцев назад

So grateful you made a video like this! Cant wait to knit your patterns!

@jenniferolson3206 7 месяцев назад

This was an absolutely fantastic video! I learned more in this one video than I have in years of random you tube knitting research. Please continue with your tips and tricks videos - you are a wonderful teacher! Thank you!

@creativian68 7 месяцев назад

Thank you, Kika! This is the perfect beginner video for all of us starter knitters. You are actually spilling all the beans and giving us a good basis from which to start. For absolute beginners I recommend to start with a beanie😊

@seriouslyinsanediva 7 месяцев назад

Excellent video, Kika. I used to knit in my youth, and then I stopped. I'm trying to get back into it a long time later. ❤

@teddybar6324 7 месяцев назад

Was für ein toller Kanal. Wunderschöne Pullover und jede Menge Inspiration. Danke

@aroundtheworldfibers 7 месяцев назад

I think beginning knitters will find this video really helpful. Love the new design, and it looks lovely on you too. Love the yarn wall!

@Dingle1234 7 месяцев назад

QUESTION I love the design of the sweater you're wearing. Sort of a bit menswear shape at the top, working down into the beautiful puffed sleeve. The rib continuing down onto the cuffs. And the little dainty cable accents. I love everything about this one. Where can I find the pattern, and what's it called?

@alliknit 7 месяцев назад

In the video, she says it’s an upcoming pattern.

@annlear6278 7 месяцев назад

Hello Kika! Your videos have inspired me to take up knitting again, so I bought your book, and I am knitting the honey cardigan sweater. Your instructions have been very easy to follow. I really enjoy the way you explain the various aspects of knitting in your videos, which makes knitting so approachable. I look forward to creating several of the knitting projects in your book and videos. You make beautiful designs that I feel I have the confidence to create too! Thank you from Minnesota, US.

@samanthac8862 7 месяцев назад

You’ve inspired me to begin knitting. Only 1.5 weeks in I’ve begun a sweater! I keep checking to see if you’ve posted a new video. I hope all is well and can’t wait for a new one. ❤

@zeitsandy 7 месяцев назад

This is great and so true, so thank you very much Kika for laying this out. As an older person who's only been knitting five years, I felt like I was always moaning in my knitting group about unhelpful patterns and thought I'd better stop being such a grinch. However, I've now found you and some clearer patterns and realise that there are clear and unclear patterns so I can now knit away and tackle some quite complex things and learn more techniques. I've stopped moaning now and just purchase clearer patterns (I have your book and love it). You're always great to watch and good luck to you personally and with your professional development.

@cathylampshire1140 7 месяцев назад

Thank you sooooooo much for this video. I am a beginning knitter and I learned so much. I like the way you included many things in the video, even markers. I didn't realize they could be placed on the needles and not only on the yarn! Also you proceed at a nice pace and not super fast. I appreciate that. Good job!

@bonnadowns524 6 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for teaching us in every videos🙏 I had learned so much from you❤️

@Suzanne_Is_Hooked 7 месяцев назад

Oh wow that was totally excellent. I'll need to pick up one if your tutorials before I attempt to read a pattern. I'm a slow knitter my hands get sore. Thanks so much that was amazing!

@adriennerichter8971 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for this video. I have been knitting for years, but these tips were still helpful. The sweater is gorgeous.

@sarahbhutta251 7 месяцев назад

@lovicollier9640 7 месяцев назад

thank you I found this informative. smiles from down under.😍😀

@Karamelhaufen 7 месяцев назад

It's such a joy to watch your videos! 🥰 I will definetly save this one for later. Maybe for the advanced knitters a video series with your most used " more difficult" abbreviations (like those for the Arctic Light Sweater) inlcuding the visuals like here would be a cool idea.

@hebulanebula 7 месяцев назад

Thank you ❤🧶💫 new to patterns, this helps tremendously! Love your channel.

@AmoCultumAlo 7 месяцев назад

This was great! I've been knitting for a long while now, and I've been considering starting to design and maybe write up patterns (although likely not sell them because I wouldn't have time to do all the sizing, etc. given my regular job). It's useful to know what you've found to be the best additions to patterns, though! Your patterns are definitely some of the best I've seen. I typically knit (or crochet) vintage or historical patterns, and those can be very, very sparse on the information front and generally only have one size. It's always a treat to work with a well-written, more modern pattern. I'm very much looking forward to your new cardigan pattern coming out, too! I spent the whole video dreaming about making it. I love the colourway you chose, and all the stitch patterns work so beautifully together! And those sleeves! Gorgeous!

@DCrockZ131 7 месяцев назад

You explain really well Kika❤

@stephaniel624 7 месяцев назад

I have done the Ivy sweater in your book (that I love so much) and it was really easy to follow with your good instruction. You are a wonderful knit pattern designer! Thanks you

@lynellerobertson2295 7 месяцев назад

This is your best video yet your enthusiasm is contagious I would love to make any number of your patterns but I cannot knit from charts I have tried knit campion hate it I love writing on and reading a paper pattern even enlarging charts I can't do one round with out loosing track of where I am have even tried to find app to convert charts to text no luck I would pay more for a pattern with both options how about it?

@Morticia147 7 месяцев назад

As I started knitting YT wasn't a thing and I also had nobody to ask, so it was not that easy. I used patterns from a big yarn company and my sweaters/cardigans always failed but I didn't know why. Then as Craftsy started I found a course that told me how to alter patterns for MY body and that was an Eye opener, because I realised that just knitting "your" generic size was my problem. My sleeves where to tight and to long, my bust never hat enough space and so on.... I love that now in patterns of indy companies (like yours) I find the ease as well - that made my life so much easier and I started knitting sweaters again. Just finished your Salty Days sweater (fantastic pattern, so easy to knit).

@Liisu1121 6 месяцев назад

@Noel.Chmielowiec 7 месяцев назад

This was so helpful! I feel like I will come back to this video few times, but it's so nice to have it explained in such easy way. Today I watched your video about stuff you knitted for the book and I had to buy it, so many great patterns! I'm just learning how to knit, but I thought that it will be good to see how more advanced patterns look, so I don't get scared in the future 😂 I'm starting with cardigan for my best friend's 1 year old daughter, so small and easy project, but I hope one day I'll be able to knit beautiful and more complicated pieces.

Hi Kika, I was knitting all my life but things I learn from you are spectacular. I purchased 2 of your patterns and I am looking forward to get your book in English from Amazon. You are a very good and thorough teacher, you get into details I was never thinking about, so thank you for your good work. All my knitting is shifting into pieces where quality is primordial due to you. Thank you Kika and I am looking forward to see what you come up with in the near future. Hugs and kisses from Canada.

@morgansmagick1696 5 месяцев назад

I’ve spent the last 2 years trying to master crochet and have recently hit a place where I can make clothing free-hand and be happy with it- now I need to learn knitting! I found your channel through making your own wedding dress, and the sweater you’re wearing in this video is BEAUTIFUL! Now I’m even more inspired to get into it. ☺️ my only issue is i always keep really tight tension and I’m also left-handed, so I do it backwards from most people I’ve practiced with!

Thank you so much, this has been great & really useful. I love your knitting style, it is interesting to see how you hold the needles & knit Continental. Your movements are so efficient, love it! As a new knitter, I’d find it really useful if you did two videos of a few minutes where you knit & purl without speeding it up. Also your patterns are beautiful, I hope to give them a go one day when i perfect my knitting skills! 🧶😺

@mariajones8912 7 месяцев назад

Hi Kika, I love all your videos and this one is another brilliant episode. .The design you are wearing is absolutely beautiful, another for my wish list.😊 I have made 'The Sunday Brunch' and the 'The Salty Days' sweaters and now I am swatching for 'The Darling Cardigan'. I would also love to knit both ' Arctic Light' and 'Wishbone Sweater', but I think these may be too complicated for me. Thank you for all your lovely designs! ♥

@mariatheodoulou9130 7 месяцев назад

You truly are the best knitter on youtube . Learnt so much from you, going to order your book. Can you please do a video on how to repair a jumper for eg . I have a beautiful jumper that was knitted for me many years ago by some company in Scotland that has a whole in it because part of the yarn has broken . Im not sure if it got caught somewhere or a moth got to it. THANK YOU watching you from Cyprus.

@fionahart2806 7 месяцев назад

I love your videos, you have inspired me to knit again! I need to know more about intarsia and also how to knit in the round- how long should the bendy part of the needle be?! My knitting is very old-fashioned not knowing this. Big thank you, Fiona.

Great video tutorial! You always show such wonderful positive enthusiasm in your videos! I would love to see more advanced tutorials like SKKPO or when the chart says no work (the gray area), does it mean I carry my yarn to the back 5 stitches then begin stitching the 6th stitch? Thank you for all that you share with us ❤
