Knitting and Designing a Colorwork Sweater From Start to Finish
#knitwithkika #knitting #colorwork
Hello and welcome to another knitting vlog where I design and knit an entire colorwork sweater from start to finish. Yes, in this video you'll both get to see the ups and many challenges along the way 😅
For this project I was really curious to see how long it actually takes to knit a sweater, as in how many hours of actual knitting it takes to complete an entire sweater, so I tracked the entire process ⏳
*This sweater is going to be part of a knitting pattern book that I'm currently working that is coming out in the Fall 2022 🎉
**Here's the link to download the free pattern for Marshmallow Beanie that I'm wearing in the video
view.flodesk.com/pages/61a231...
***App that I used to design the color work pattern is called Knitting Chart
apps.apple.com/fi/app/knittin...
****
Here are some time stamps from the video:
1:58 The idea for the color work sweater
6:18 Day 1: Casting on & feeling excited
9:45 Day 2. Things already start to go wrong…
19:10 Day 3: Knitting on a frozen lake
20:53 Day 6: A few rough days later and we have a yoke, finally!
23:38 Day 9: Houston, we have a problem, we’re running out of yarn…
25:06 Day 10: Being resourceful & how long I’ve spent knitting this far
27:45 Day 13: I can see the finish line
19:50 Day 14: Finishing touches
31:06 Tips on how to wet block a handknit sweater
33:38 How much time I spent knitting the entire sweater
34:33 The final result :)
I'd love to know what your thoughts were on this video and if this is something you'd like to see more of? I hope it brought you some good insights and enjoyment!

This sweater would take me 20 YEARS to complete, and I'm not a novice knitter. Kudos to YOU.

@maryellenlaine6526 7 месяцев назад

Loved the video, now I’d like to make that sweater. Where would I get the pattern. I’m in the USA . Was in Finland enjoyed the trip very much.your a knitting inspiration!!! Mary Ellen Laine

I say got for it! We all need a new sweater 😊

@cascadiagrove6367 2 года назад

Not only is this an amazing and cute sweater knitting video, it is informative to both knitters and non knitters. Now when non knitters ask me to make something, with innocent ignorance about the labor involved, I can send them this video for reference, and I imagine it will change their perspectives about what they are actually asking for! 😆 Your personality is so fun, love your knitting content. 💗

Right? 😬 And the cost of materials too. 🤯 They have no idea. 😅

It's April, 2024. I just finished watching this whole video on how long it took you to knit your colorwork sweater. I love that you took the time to keep track of how long it took to knit. I am enjoying your tutorials as well. Also, my first time watching you was just before you had your son; wishing you all the best as a new mother. Thank you

@hanneke1543 Год назад

I love that you're designing on the go. Planning everything in advance is hard and I noticed I prefer 'knitting to measure' instead of following a pattern blindly. But I sometimes feel like I'm doing it the wrong way when I need to unravel something because I don't like it. So nice to see someone else just accepting occasional unraveling as part of the proces😊 oh and 🧶😉

@beepthesheep2131 2 года назад

Kika!! There’s something about your videos that just makes them soooo enjoyable and pleasurable to watch, currently running to grab the sweater I’m working on and enjoy some knit time with you ! 💓💓

I just love your cheerfulness.. happiness!! And, of course, your videos are inspiring and helpful. Love the change in unraveling doing it different. Looks perfect and lovely on you. Thank you for the free hat pattern! Hope to get as good as you on knitting difficult things but, I'm still at simple. Knitting has been my love since 5 years old and now at 71, I'm trying more difficult things. Love,hugs,prayers to you and your beautiful family.

@nolasmith7687 7 месяцев назад

Yep! I watched till the end. Amazed by your perseverance Kika. With that much pattern work I’m afraid it would be sitting in my “to be completed “ box for years. Knitting in the bath, lol. Oh my, you certainly have supportive parents. Cheers from unsnowy Australia. I loved Helsinki when I had the opportunity to visit in the 90’s, but golly gee it got exceedingly chilly by the time I left in Nov.

Kika!!! This was such a wonderful video to watch ❤️ Loved that you included the clips of your walks outside and shared a few facts about your family 🥰 and also that you didn't cut out the clips where you went wrong with the knitting, makes it authentic ❤️ Your sweater turned out so gorgeous, I really love the sleeves 😍 considering the colours of your sweater, now you can perfectly blend in with your home 🤣😊 I'd love to see an apartment tour ❤️ It's nice to see how genuinely happy you are while talking and showing your knitting projects, wish you all the best 💕

@ayakzcis6811 2 года назад

Kika, No yarn ball emoji but I did watch your video to the end, always do. I appreciate that you show, and describe, the mishaps and HOURS of work that go into a hand knitted project. That's why "knit-worthy" recipients are important if not knitting for yourself! Great video content, as well as the scenery. Debra Cisneros, HHP 💖🙌🙌🙌😺

@bee909 Год назад

🧶 I love how this sweater came out!! So beautiful. I watched this while knitting up my first swatch for my first knit sweater. I unravelled my swatch several times because of mistakes (knitting flat, etc.) and finally knit in the round on DPN and so was kind of relieved to see that even long-time knitters sometimes make a mistake with a swatch, and that I was right to take the extra time to undo and knit it round! I'm also encouraged that it's okay to make mistakes and unravel... I feel a lot of pressure to do it correctly the first time, but I think I could benefit from your attitude, and remember it's better to undo & have something you love in the end. :)

@marybethrutledge351 Год назад

@Sandrassida 2 года назад

🧶 Lovely sweater. Last year I did the same and wrote up every hour I knitted a fullsize sweater. It takes about 40-45 hours and I don't think people understands that it is very time consuming, though very fun, most of the time. I love that you include personal clips in your knitting videos. Looking forward to the next one 😀

@lydiabosley9152 Год назад

This is the first video of yours I have watched and you are such fun! So lively and positive, very perky - good company, You are far more advanced than I and it would be a long time before I tried to do something as complicated as your sweater but I am beginning to experiment a little with Fair Isle patterns (I like animals so will focus on those designs) - but in the meantime you are just lovely to watch, very entertaining, so I will go back and start watching ALL of your videos in order. Thank you for sharing your talent and your sweet personality! I did watch this all the way through and will look for the yarn-ball emoji!🧶🧶🧶🧶well I found the yarn emoji but it doesn't come out here... anyway I enjoyed visiting Helsinki with you!

@justclara3595 2 года назад

The sweater is so beautiful! And so nice how you edited the video! Often times, I feel really alone while knitting, because the people around me aren't knitters and no one really gets the frustrations... I'm so excited for more videos of you and especially for your knitting book! :)

@karinberryman2009 2 года назад

Isn’t that true! Nobody in the family gets how disappointing it is having to undo that work. So it’s a great change from the other knitting blogs where they apparently cruise along on the most intricate of patterns. Honest teachers are the very best!

@blacksunshine5758 2 года назад

Yep- I’m with you on that one! My friends, family & coworkers call me an old lady and shake their heads. Why would you knit socks/hats/scarves when you can buy them… Duh, they are prettier, fit better, used better yarns and the pride that I made something with my hands!

I love how you keep in your little knitting glitches we have all experienced; it just makes every video so much more relatable.

Wow, that is one of the most beautiful sweaters I have ever seen! It’s so encouraging as a beginner to see that even the masters have to frog back a project sometimes to make it work. It was painful to watch, but I think the final result is so worth it. The color work you did is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you so much for this video, it made knitting an entire sweater seem like something I could actually realistically accomplish someday, even though I know it’ll take me a lot longer. 🧶
