Join me as I knit an Autumnal version of my favorite vintage sweater! It is the first time I've used my knitting machine to make a sweater and I love it! I still hand knit the color work and hand-finished the sweater.

Engineering knits is a place for people who enjoy all kinds of vintage and antique crafts - from sewing to knitting, crochet to embroidery I like to try it all. I definitely have a preference for historical fibre crafts, and it is my dream to one day make an entire outfit from sheep to sweater. I hope you enjoy watching me and my favorite companion, Nutella, struggle through some fascinating projects!

What a good idea to make a "seasonal sweater"! Now I'm sitting here imagining the winter, spring and summer versions!

@91freckles 4 месяца назад

I LOVE Essence of Autumn’s yarn and her dyeing videos!

@macstabby_j Год назад

What a great sweater. And with being able to do a lot of the "grunt work" on your machine, I hope we see a winter-themed sweater with holly leaves/berries or pine trees!

@songindarkness 4 месяца назад

I think this pattern is the best one you’ve ever made, I love it! Also your hair is *perfect* in this video.

@xcurvesx 6 месяцев назад

I’ve been slowly rewatching your catalogue for the past month or so and the way you show your mistakes and how you eventually fixed them is so so delightful to watch! I’m a sewist (who crochets sometimes) who doesn’t knit AT ALL so knitting is like magic to me! 😂

@mya10121 Год назад

So beautiful! And the yarn was impeccable! Your determination is admirable; you found a solution to make a beautiful sweater despite your hand fatigue. I've developed joint stiffness in my fingers from knitting, but you inspire me to try different methods to continue my craft. Thanks! Also, your hair looks amazing.

@Leannchops Год назад

I have a KH-588 named Ethel and a KH-840 named Heather, both with ribbers. I gave them names because I swear they have personalities.

@actuallyitscady Год назад

I just have to say that I love seeing what intricate things you can make with the knitting machine. I am losing hand mobility due to a nerve disease and not being able to knit anymore is one of my biggest fears. Your videos give me hope that I can find an accessible option!

@constancetroutman6419 Год назад

You have such a wonderful relationship with your puppy......I love see her.

@Loralit4 6 месяцев назад

What a gorgeous sweater and your leaves turned out beautifully ❤

@normacaffey5998 Год назад

What a beautiful sweater! Watching this makes me want to dust the matching off and try using it again.

@catherinemelnyk Год назад

Well done! A lot of work, even with a machine.

@kimberlyokeeffe5360 Год назад

Lovely! I have done the same as you many times. Used the machine to make the stockinette and then worked the design by hand. Just for future reference, look for something called revel cord. It's about the thickness of lace to light fingering weight yarn, is very smooth and comes in long lengths. I use it when I'm scrapping off the piece by knitting 1 row with the ravel cord before knitting with the waste yarn. It makes it so much easier to get the stitches onto a needle. I look forward to seeing you making this design for another season!

@pattern-shift Год назад

Getting lots of ideas for seasonal sweaters now! Thanks!

@sarahlovesdonuts9601 Год назад

I LOVE the shape of that sweater!!!! I feel like that could be done in lighter yarn with a different motif for each season.💗💗💗

@loopylori2563 Год назад

Handy hint: Gauge swatches should be a minimum of Four inches square. Most helpful knitting book ever is Elizabeth Zimmerman's Knitting Without Tears. I knit and tat. I would like to see you do more tatting! I love the leafy sweater! Best antique lace patterns: Lace from the Attic by Nancy Wiseman Gloria Pennings Lace from Snow Goose Lace.

@mirthevanhoorn Год назад

omg, your hair! It looks so pretty! And oh that yarn is so insanely beautiful.

@konnyf13 Год назад

The sweater is so beautiful! Fall is my favorite season - Pumpkin spice tea and Apple Cider Donuts - yummy. Also, congrats on the sponsorship. Very excited for you and your channel.

@catherinemelnyk Год назад

Decades ago when I had a basic knitting machine, after doing my tension swatch etc, I hand knit my ribbing, then did a few rows in waste yarn, then I picked up the open stitches onto the machine, and tore out the waste yarn, then continued in regular stocking stitch on my machine.

@jsapcakrrow 11 месяцев назад

Just beautiful!!!🥰

@lilibug. Год назад

Absolutely wonderful to see someone actually using a knitting machine. I don't use mine very often despite even being taught how to use it at design school as I still make so many mistakes with it. I look forward to seeing more of you knitting on your machine, hopefully it will help me overcome my fear of my machine. I still do lots of hand knitting. Also I love all the vintage knits you do.

@trixieknits Год назад

That is so beautiful!!

@lisascenic Год назад

It’s fascinating how your green and white pullover created a crisp, graphic leaf pattern, while the sweater with the more mottled yarn resulted in mistier, more indistinct leaves. I wonder how much of the difference between the two projects can be attributed to the yarn, and how much results from the different stitch pattern of your leaves? Both garments are lovely. And it’s so interesting to tinker with variables, and see such different outcomes.

@reneetedesco9287 Год назад

Awesome sweater and video! I just found ur channel and am loving it! Especially when u were organizing ur yarn and then seeing how many project bags u had! I said this is me! I have to subscribe! Even shared with my non knitting friends that don’t understand stashes and having a lot of project bags! 😂

@coreygilles847 Год назад

So clever to use the machine and hand knitting combo!

@NotKateHepburn Год назад

So lovely!

@catherinemelnyk Год назад

As much as I love these old sweaters which I would have fit into way back in my 20's through my 50's, I'm heavier now that I'm nearly 70. I love those 40's patterns, but they don't come in my sizes and I don't have the math skills to figure out how to adjust the patterns.

@lisahodges8299 Год назад

That was fun to watch, I haven't used a knitting machine like that for twenty years. Is it time for a festive sock knitting on a machine yet? Birdy

@marilys3549 Год назад

Super cute! Love the pattern! Great style! I think one for every season would be great! Winter...snowflakes, Spring...daffodils, Summer... roses. And you already have Fall.

@eiszapfenkobold Год назад

Uhhh make one with daisies for spring (or other blossoms) I also think to knit this(without sleeves) but changing the design is likely also my choice.

@alib8758 Год назад

I noticed you were using a spare hook to do up your ribbing. You can pick up a handled latch hook at most craft stores, usually near the rug-making supplies. They're very handy and easier on the hands, though I'm just as likely to reach for a crochet hook to ladder up "machine" ribbing

@YarrowNjune Год назад

I hope you will be releasing your own version with modern instructions soon!

@kellyrose3905 Год назад

This sweater is so cool! I bought a knitting machine after seeing yours, and I've been too nervous to try to convert a hand-knit pattern to a machine-knit pattern, so it was lovely to see you do it! I love the design of the sweater, it looks so perfect for Fall! Fun side note: A friend of mine is Australian, and until he'd been living here through a couple of years, he'd never understood why we call Autumn "Fall". And I got to be the person with him when he had the lightening bolt moment of "omigosh, it's because the leaves 'fall' off the trees!" which evidently doesn't happen in Australia.

@christinabueide1038 Год назад

Your Fall sweater turned out so beautiful, I love the colors you chose

@retrocraftdreams Год назад

I love this so much! When you mentioned this yarn for an upcoming project, I had a feeling it would be a rework of this vintage sweater with different leaves. But I really loved watching you use the knitting machine (it's so fascinating!) AND that you are taking care of yourself by being conscientious of where you put effort and strain. I applaud that. Beautiful sweater, and inspiring all around! ❤

@howcanikeepfromsinging Год назад

What a great yarn choice for the autumn version of the leaf jumper. I think i'd love one in snowflakes or even sunflowers 😊

@suef1379 6 месяцев назад

I love that sweater so much@

@PrincessFidelma Год назад

That is beautiful! I'm so happy to see you combine machine and hand knitting. I have saved so many patterns with a small part patterning, and I don't want to/can't waste time hand knitting an entire body just because of little bit of pattern. It's good to see it turn out fab!

@lianapalumbo8457 Год назад

That turned out beautifully 🧡🤎just imagine all the knitting you could get done on the machine. Thank you for another wonderful episode 😊 xx

@Sanny0300 Год назад

I'm so excited for the video😊

@sampooley4248 Год назад

We have the same machine!! I'm glad to see more knitting machine content - as much as I love hand knitting, I knit 3 rows and I clock out for the day. I want so many vintage jumpers and the knitting machine is the way to go

@patriciakellyadams134 Год назад

I love knitting machines so much I have 6 of them, 3 ribbers and a passap duo. I like how you have combined hand and machine knitting to get the best of both worlds.

@alexandraranieri Год назад

Beautiful!! Your work is always so lovely and inspiring...also, what a gorgeous throw on the couch behind you!

@BiblioChic Год назад

I love the striations the hand dyed yarn gives!

@thatssewrandom Год назад

Started to learn how to knit because I love the work you do and this pattern inspired me. I've been crocheting for 25+ years. I decided to try knitting for the cute clothes.

@werelemur1138 Год назад

That is so pretty! And you're so patient and focused with making the ribbing, I know if I tried to do that it would end in tears and/or profanity.

@c.w.3750 Год назад

What a beautiful autumnal jumper.

@bamboolaceway Год назад

I'm amazed at your craftsmanship and the techniques you used to adapt and create the Fall version of the sweater. I need to get cracking on my own knitting projects now.

@kathleenhensley5951 Год назад

I am having some real issues with my hands and shoulders.. arthritis, cold, do not mix. I have stopped crocheting lace, which I did for years.. I'm experimenting with Furls hooks and they seem to help but seriously, I keep a bottle of Acetaminophen next to me when I do hand work. You inspire me to become more creative and adventurous in knitting.

@JoDeeKenney Год назад

Beautiful work- I love your little journal of your works

@sekaihatsu Год назад

Fantastic! This is a great idea. I'm so glad you were able to get it on the machine and give your hands a break. If I get my own place, I'm getting one.

@juliejay5436 Год назад

So beautiful! This one is a winner! By the way, your daisy top is also gorgeous, hope you are very happy with the new house move.

@annecain3301 Год назад

Thank you for sharing. Your Autumn Sweater is beautiful.

@SirAnimosity Год назад

I don't know the first thing about knitting but i know how to crochet. My grandma taught me, anyway I just wanted to say that your knits are always so cool!

@ramonacowman7409 Год назад

Super cute! Fun to watch! Thank you for sharing!❤

@stitchwithbritt5922 Год назад

It’s so cute🥰

@omaeve Год назад

Sounds like a good idea are used to use my ribbon by hand and then attach it to the machine but my hand It’s causing quite a few problems for some reason no problem with crocheting just knitting with the arthritis

@robintheparttimesewer6798 Год назад

beautiful! such a wonderful interpretation of a vintage pattern!

@whoviankaleigh4113 Год назад

Your notebook is such a great idea - might have to borrow it!

@rainieraine1192 Год назад

Oh my, when you said you were going to knit another Bestway, I was thinking of my version that I knit on my knitting machine which sadly came out way to small….then you said at 4.43 that yours was too…. I know I have to frog mine and start again but haven’t had the enthusiasm….maybe I will after watching this 😊

@rainieraine1192 Год назад

I just had a thought…. 🤔Would it be doable to machine knit all of the jumper, changing the colour from one to the other, but do Swiss darning/duplicate stitch for the colour work section above and below the colour change line on the jumper and sleeves….

@RockinTheBassGuitar Год назад

I love this pattern! Beautifully done.

@irishfarmart Год назад

Oh wow I am amazed! What beautiful colour choices 😍 thanks so so much for the inspiration

@kathyvazquez3601 Год назад

Excellent work!!

@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar Год назад

It’s so smart that you are using different means to accomplish your art when you’re at risk of injuring your wrists and your tendons with repetitive use. I’m curious if the knitting machine is slower or faster or about the same as handknitting because it seems really fiddly. It’s so cool though to watch this!

@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar Год назад

And then you answered my question literally two seconds after I hit send! Lol

@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar Год назад

It’s so pretty!!!!

@showandtellmeg Год назад

This is so inspiring! I have a vintage pattern I was contemplating using my knitting machine for the back and sleeves and this has definitely solidified my decision :) Your sweater looks lovely!

@Annoukky Год назад

Is that a Zippy Deluxe? It looks like it is! 😃

@normacaffey5998 Год назад

Question - how many hours do you knit in a day? I can't believe how fast you knit. WOW

@LualaDy Год назад

NUTELLLAAAAAA!!! BEST RU-vid DOGGGOOOOOOO

@marytreaty9357 Год назад

Oh my gosh I think we have the same phone and case!! Pixel 6 with spring botanicals from casetify?

@bluejay5531 Год назад

Lovely! do you feel like making a video about your knitting journal? 🧶

@omaeve Год назад

P.S. I noticed your table that you have your machine on is a little bit shaky I bought an old military style metal desk Very sturdy plus I can also use it for my welding because it’s completely metal. Also I have my grandmothers sideboard which has a cheap piece of Masonite on the back and I just took that off and cut slots into it for my knitting machine and I can attach it to the back.

@chrissy24-7 Год назад

This is so incredibly cool ... I adore this pattern! You're so creative! Where do we buy (or can we?) your version of the pattern?

@angellinaalatorre5926 9 месяцев назад

Hi,.. I was wondering how much of the yarn you used for both colors? And what size needle did you use for the knit pick yarn brand….I’m planning on making myself just like the image on the pattern…this will be my first self made sweater so I’m new on this…I need all the help I can get 😅…Thank you.❤
