I feel you! I've been knitting my own twist of the JW Anderson 'Harry styles' cardigain since October and just finished the final square yesterday. Still about a months work left in it😅
Same here it has been 2-3 months, I’m knitting apart then attaching it together. Finished the arms in 4 days, still on the back piece %85 done & I think it might be too big🤦🏻♀️
My crochet experience- years ago when my kids were small I asked my aunt to show me how to crochet. Figured I could work on a Granny Square blanket while we were house during the winter. I did fine with the squares but I didn’t know how to join them. My answer, I just kept going around to make one huge square. I even ran a cable stitch up the sides so I had a rectangle instead of a square. We used that blanket for years. It was big enough for a queen bed
First, I love that you dyed your own yarn. As a dyer I love it when makers go for it and love it. Next, I was taught to create bobbins when knitting intarsia. It keeps everything from getting tangled.
Hi!!! I have a really cool tip when working intarsia. So when you do a knit row, let the yarn tangle on itself, then when you're going to do a purl row rotate it clockwise and do the purl row as usual, letting the yarn tangle. To do the next knit row, rotate it counter-clockwise and the yarn is magically untangled by itself👌🏼👍🏼😁
Hello Jenna Phipps, I liked your video here because you are in your element. The sweater looks perfected even though you had to take it out so many times. I think you did a really Good Job. Congratulations on another of your new sweater projects. I give it 2 :-); :-), for doing it. Just Love it. Sincerely, Elsa R. Age: 61 - (From out in California). Bye for now. Thanks for having Benson there with you. (I hope I got his name right, here). Bye.
Your videos taught me that it’s okay to make mistakes and unravel (almost or everything) and start again but not give up than continue making mistakes and regretting it after everything is finished.
I love your content! Thank you for sharing your mistakes and process. It helps me realize we are all just learning as we go and to push myself in my projects more.
I'm halfway through that course! I realized that literally all the sweaters/vests/hats that I'm in love with have all been by Laura Delgaard 😍 I absolutely love her designing
Your videos are so inspiring! I used to feel like it was impossible to finish my projects, then I see you bust out a whole sweater in less than a week just because you wanted to get it done, even with fixing mistakes, and it gives me the encouragement to do the same. :) I also love your knitting videos because I do not knit myself (too frustrating for me) so I get to live vicariously through your experience without being stressed!
Yeah that color work seems sooo hard. It’s like magic to me. I can’t get it unless I’m taught in person, over and over and you know what? Over again. It’s a beautiful job. Congratulations young’un ❤️
Oh Jenna, the sweater is stunning! I have been looking at sweater patterns to crochet, and I am going for it. I have tried knitting, but not even close to knitting anything. So crochet cardigan here I come!
I’m so grateful I stumbled across your channel a little over a week ago. I am obsessed!! I have been sick in bed with Covid for the last week and I have binged all your videos. They’ve brought me so much joy and helped me to still feel creative. I’m so excited for my first trip back to the thrift store when I’m better. Thanks for your videos, they’re fantastic.
I just got a LOMI! It’s so great 😊 Your videos make me want to start knitting before finishing my embroidery projects. Also, your videos are edited SO well to my inexperienced eyes, love it. 🙌🏼
What a perfect sweater👏🏼🤍 Last month wanted to knit a sweater for myself, started with the same colour of green you have used, then saw this sweater on the other video wanted to make the same. So I buyed 2 colours instead of 4 to start with the arms. The spark of hope is down needed 4-5 days without knitting back on it but without any plan lets go😅😂 might be making a mistake for my first sweater🙈
You did a great job! I’m still working on a multi striped cardigan I started back in the Fall. 😊 at one point I made the risky decision to basically cut each piece in half so that I could undo a choice I made. While I was at it I added some rows because I decided I wanted it longer and then reattached the two halves using the Kitchener stitch. Thank goodness for RU-vid tutorials! I mean, it worked but it’s better to get it right the first time. 🤣
this autoplayed after the one where you made your first no pattern striped sweater with the size 10 prym needles. when you whipped out the interchangeable set, i got whiplash 😂
This sweater is gorgeous! You did a beautiful job. I crochet but I don't know how to knit. This sweater makes me want to learn. Would you do a video on how to dye yarn? What color and brand of dye did you use? The colors are so pretty. I love your relaxed style of videos. They are really fun to watch. Kisses to Benson. 💋💋💋
I found one of your knitting videos as my nan has I just taught me to knit jerseys for my newborn. IM ADDICTED. I have been binge watching your videos while knitting 😂 such good content lol
First! Love you Jenna xx you inspire me to make my own stuff with my sewing machine and I love your style and videos! Your amazing and so inspirational and you make my day xx
Hey Jenna!! I’m a new knitter and don’t know what that thing you were knitting with was, the thingy that had a wire or something, could someone explain?😅
Beautiful!! I love how honest you are with mistakes! I don't think there has been a single project that I've done without having to pull things out and try again. I think it's just part of the process of trying something new and that's a-okay! Thank you for normalizing this process!
yayy another video. I just started knitting after watching some of your videos . I am really trying to be patient ( and not get distracted) that after 2/3 days U have not got super far. like I say tho myself I am gonna knit the whole day but end up only a few hours (2-3 hours) 😐😮💨
Love watching this. I'm not the only one making mistakes I see. I got this sweather I have been going on for 3-4 years now, wich is a red sparkly sweater perfect for christmas. Every november I start on it again, and get "finnished" a few days before christmas, then try it on... And then I see all the mistakes I've made, and need to unravel it. Did I mention that its mohair in it? :)
If it makes you feel better, I managed to make it though fifteen 200 stitch rows plus a tubular cast on before noticing I had one 3mm needle and one 3.25mm needle... Lots of frogging that day.
got into this course because of you and really look forward to try it out in autum! How did you decide how much yarn you need and what yarncount/thickness you use? And why do we use bothe yarn ends and not just a single strang?
Applause for the efforts. Seems, she has the environment/home, tools, skills/abilities, ability to learn, and the get it done factor. 👏 The sweater looks very (GBean or Landsend) if the comparison were to connect retail. Unclear what her future goals are in that sense, she might be able to make sweaters in bulk or quantity though for a retail clothing company or her own clothes, ? ‘The right fit’
When I'm knitting something new, or something I'm not sure on. I add lifelines to made it easier to rip back my work. I always give the lifelines alot of slack so they don't dent my work
This sweater is beautiful Jenna 😍 Also I felt so bad for you when you were making the mistakes. It can become so disheartening when you keep making mistakes and keep having to unpick everything 😩 I'm currently making a really simple blanket but a few times I've not been paying attention and have messed it up 🙄 so annoying. You really did get a beautiful result though and the colours of the yarn you died are 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
love this!!! is in the course explained how to do your own charts? I wanna know how to design an intarsia sweater is there a program for that Im totally confuseddd 🥴❤️
This is kinda random and you probably wont see this lol, but I just watched the 20 purses vid you made like a year ago, and I really want to make it but I can’t find the pattern. Is it still available?? If so where can I find it? I love your vids ☺️
Can you please show how you weave in ends please I always have trouble with it .love you jumper it’s awesome 😘❤️

You use a tapestry needle, pull the strand into the hole of the tapestry needle, then it's called "weaving in the ends", basically hiding the strands inside the knit, and then do a knot at the end to secure, and cut the excess of yarn
I’m watching a thriller where the heroine overcomes many obstacles but saves the day! That neckline had me worried, but it looked great when it was finished! 🦸🏼♀️ I really love my Ginger interchangeable set. It’s very versatile, as the tips seem to handle both smooth and stickier yarns quite well. I’m always misplacing my key, but if I use a piece of rubber mesh shelf liner as a gripper, I can tighten them without the key.
