The fit of the sweater suits you SO WELL! Less positive ease with the long ribbing looks stunning!

@kaitlyntrugman6015 26 дней назад

It makes my day to wake up to a NE video! You have the most detailed and concise channel and I enjoy it so much.

@neknits 24 дня назад

Aw thank you!! ❤️

@jilliankonig2759 23 дня назад

Beautiful job on your purple sweater. I think I would bite the bullet and pull out the hem and ribbing, then reknit the additional 2" length and ribbing again, since you can't wear it in Boston for a few months anyway. That would be preferable to being annoyed with a kitchener stitch that might be visible. Good luck!

Great hair day 💁🏻‍♀️. This is such a good example of the power of blocking! Added tee 1 to my queue.

@QueensYarnBoutique 26 дней назад

It's so amazing how blocking can make such a difference in the draping of a garment. Excellent job on your projects, Amy! 👏🏾🧶 Your DRK Everyday Sweater is stunning! 💜

@mondayswithfran 26 дней назад

I reaaally love the color choice for the Everyday Sweater! Looks amazing 😍

@donnapreston767 16 дней назад

I think the purple everyday sweater looks PERFECT. You are slim so can get away with it. It's not too short, it's just right. I also love the long ribbed hem.

@ceciliathomsen7152 26 дней назад

Really lovely FO’s. They fit beautifully and look well made.

@neknits 24 дня назад

Thank you!

@celtic.unicorn 26 дней назад

Everything is just so perfect on you! Love it all, thanks for sharing!

@Mare6grands 26 дней назад

Another great episode!!! Added both the tee and sweater to my queue. Looking forward to your next podcast

@knitsbystephanie_ 25 дней назад

I love your knitting style! The blue yarn combination for the tee looks great and the purple for the jumper really suits you 😊

@EvieO1950 26 дней назад

Always enjoy your podcast. Love the blue sweater you’re wearing, looks great on you!

@sarahs.handmakes 26 дней назад

Ooh! The DRK everyday sweater looks amazing! I love the color and fit. I really like the cropped look but get wanting it a bit longer. This was fun to just see your finished objects for this time. Also so excited to see your new space! I’m also moving soon and actually really love the feeling of a new space.

@TheStaceyC 23 дня назад

haha it's funny that you had the same result as when I knit my DRK everyday sweater. I knit mine short because I am only 5' 3" and when I lift my arms it comes up a lot. I had planned on doing the same sweater surgery but am still enjoyed it working from home with high waisted legging on.

@heatherr9201 26 дней назад

They all came out so good… the colors are great picks too ❤❤❤

@judithhirschhorn7249 26 дней назад

Best of luck in your new home!

I don't believe in "xyz people should not wear abc". Wear what you like and what you feel confident in!

@megm6569 26 дней назад

Your Tee No. 1 is gorgeous! I love the drape on it - The blocking really worked wonders. Hope all goes well with house renovations!

@cazs5474 26 дней назад

Love the colour of the everyday sweater on you !

@ghibligirl01 25 дней назад

Your Tee No. 1 turned out amazing! You’re making me want to knit one up now 😊

@Stitchesinstem 25 дней назад

Really appreciate how detailed your review of the Chrysler top is! It’s interesting to see all of the details that aren’t so obvious when you first look at the top in KFO sample photos

@unrulyknitter 25 дней назад

I love all of your FOs and glad to see your top in KFO silk - currently knitting a summer tank with this and having doubts but your FO will help me push through!

@karwinpang5760 26 дней назад

Amy, love your yarn combo in the Tee no.1

@abneyacres 25 дней назад

All the garments look so great! Really interesting in working with the Juniper Moon Farm Patagonia yarn at some point soon. They have a nice color selection too!

@lieslnew8247 26 дней назад

Hi Amy. I love these 3 FOs. They look awesome in you. I think you are so brave cutting your DRK sweater and then picking up the stitches, adding the length and reattaching your rib band. I would have to frog the whole band to remit the body. I would love to see a video of you doing that. It might inspire me for future projects. ❤❤

@SarahJo 23 дня назад

IDK what it is about your hair/makeup/styling in this video but you look especially nice!

@nancygillarddoran7213 26 дней назад

The DRK Everyday Sweater is one of my favorites and a truly great pattern. I’m making my 4th now. Yes, you do split for sleeves quickly after finishing the yoke- so there won’t be a lot of fabric under the arm. I saw a comment about Andrea Mowry’s sleeves being narrow: some ppl knit more tightly for small circumference knitting, which is why Andrea recommends going up a needle size for the sleeves.

@Elizabeth-sj2qy 26 дней назад

Hi Amy! I love your new knits! Especially the DRK. It’s beautiful and looks so good on you. I love the colour too. Congrats on your new house!

@neknits 24 дня назад

Thank you!

@worldangel7 24 дня назад

the drk everyday sweater looks amazing on you! perfect color and fit

@sharonkennedy8612 26 дней назад

Congratulations on your new house ! Love your knits.

@neknits 24 дня назад

Thank you!

@wooling.around 25 дней назад

did the sweater surgery you decribe for the purple sweater a few times before. Really easy! Only make sure the join of the old yarn and new yarn is looking neat but other that that just as easy as shortening a sweater

@andreaderosier1461 26 дней назад

I definitely want to cast on a tee number 1. Thank you for the inspiration!

@RobbieHutchins 25 дней назад

Oooh! I love the colour of the Everyday sweater on you. I think the extra 2 inches will make you so much more comfortable while still being cropped. If you talk with your hands like I do, the exposure at the current length would drive you crazy. Good luck with getting into your new home quickly. Can’t wait to see you blogging from there. 🥰

@leighhuggins5030 23 дня назад

That icy blue color of the t shirt looks incredible on you!

@jh7100 23 дня назад

Wow, it looks great! Lesson learned. Always block be we judge. Your tee is gorgeous!

@jh7100 23 дня назад

Before we judge. You look wonderful in both!

@mandles. 26 дней назад

holy cow your Tee no. 1 looks amazing! the fit is so great and the color choice looks lovely on you. and yes regarding the sleeves of circular yoke sweaters, i have found that the sleeves and body always sort of move as one lol

@susanlagassa9535 24 дня назад

My my you are ambitious attempting your DRK sweater fix, I think I’d just wear a cami under it. The neckline on your tee is perfection, great project choices.

@patriciagrenner8033 23 дня назад

Good morning. Just to start off by saying I love your podcasts. As to the DRK everyday sweater, I have to say, I do like the cropped on you. I’m not one for cropped sweaters but the way this is done with the large ribbing on the collar and hem, it looks proportionately accurate. Looks great to me.

@elizabethLoney 25 дней назад

Thanks Amy- love your podcasts. In my experience all Andreas patterns have surprisingly tight sleeves compared with the oversized body fit. I tend to cast on extra stitches under the arm to allow for this now.

@sylviafikiert4825 25 дней назад

The DRK Everyday sweater looks amazing 🤩 I have some of the Patagonia organic merino and would love to knit it. I have knit the Tulip sweater with Patagonia yarn and it wears beautifully 😊

@OkayestChemist 26 дней назад

Andrea Mowry patterns have a tendency to have very narrow arms and a larger armscye is a modification I have to make on any DRK pattern, so you are totally right on with your observation about the arm tightness!

@maker5035 26 дней назад

Love your channel. I just finished the Audrey Top by Petite Knits. Re: icord straps, I hold the yarn double and inserted gross grain ribbon to hold the straps at a fixed length. Even

@maker5035 26 дней назад

Opps, got cut off. Of course need to make sure your head still fits thru the opening.

@anitabechtel5180 26 дней назад

I also knit the DRK sweater and am also embracing the smaller ease look. I hope other designers are paying attention. It looks amazing on you.

@sherryschneider323 25 дней назад

Same! I have a larger bust and when I use the bust measurement on most sweaters,the body is really large on me.

@sherriedentley600 25 дней назад

Congratulations 🎉 on your house. Do things in your own time.

@user-mu5sb5rb2b 25 дней назад

I can't wait to see your tour of the house. How long do you think it will be before you get to move in? Loved your FO's today. Have a good week or two until the next podcast❤

@neknits 24 дня назад

Very soon!

@shllybkwrm 25 дней назад

I love that Chrysler top, going on my list!

@donnaminyoon7179 25 дней назад

Wow, Tee No.1 sounds so hard😮

@neknits 24 дня назад

Definitely a lot of details, I'd call it an intermediate pattern rather than beginner!

@myhappyspace4533 26 дней назад

All 3 items look great on you. However, I agree the sweater will look great about 2 inches longer. Love the fitted look though

@lucialanave8105 28 дней назад

Hi NE! I wanted to ask what advice you had for someone starting their own knitting podcast? How do you market yourself, find an audience, etc? I love your podcasts!!

@neknits 24 дня назад

Hi! Thanks for asking! I didn't do much marketing of myself when I started - I just posted what I wanted and hoped those with similar interests would find me and stick around. Stay true to what YOU like and don't feel like you need to please everyone with your content, because you won't. As for tech/the algorithm, I definitely recommend prioritizing good lighting (sit facing a window) and clear audio. Sadly even excellent podcasters might get skipped if their video is hard to watch from a quality perspective. (Don't need expensive gear, I just started with my iphone!). Try different thumbnail styles and see what gets more reach. Sometimes a "trendy" video theme is a good way to get on the map! Best of luck to you!

@jodiealaoui7293 25 дней назад

Amy, that blue Tee No. 1 is beautiful on you!

@neknits 24 дня назад

Thank you!

@chunklars5004 14 дней назад

Have you seen Trinity yarn at Jimmi Beans? It looks like a great mohair alternative!

@ptoste1 26 дней назад

Thanks for sharing your makes and thoughts. Love all you knit 🧶 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ from Portugal 🇵🇹

@ramonasurprenant2122 26 дней назад

That T is gorgeous!

@TheBrownieQueen 26 дней назад

I think I commented the first time you mentioned your DRK Everyday Sweater about the Patagonia Organic Merino. I recently finished the sweater I was making with it and found that if the sweater snags, the yarn thins out VERY easily. After just one wear I already need to repair it. There are some comments on the yarn page about people having issues with it breaking while they were knitting, and while I didn't have that issue I guess the fragility is still present in the final knitted fabric. Be careful!

@neknits 24 дня назад

Good to know, thank you! Would not have guessed that about the yarn from knitting it, will see how it wears this Fall!

@susanrobertson5137 26 дней назад

As others have said, Andrea Mowry designs tighter sleeves, and contrary to what she says on her podcast and in her pattern instructions, it's not that everyone's gauge tightened up, it's that they are designed at a small circumference. If you compare her schematic to other designers who do similar sweaters you can see this. Now that I know this, I always pick up more stitches and don't start decreases for a couple of inches, to accommodate my upper arm circumference.

@neknits 24 дня назад

Good to know about her patterns!

@olgahein827 26 дней назад

Love your podcast, Amy ❤ just fell in love with the juniper moon yarn and discovered that it's available here in the Netherlands as well! I'm thinking of making a sweater in the ivory colour. Would you mind sharing how much yarn you used for your sweater? Greetings from NL 🧡

@neknits 24 дня назад

For my size 2 sweater (with the cropped body) I used about 2.5 skeins of the yarn! Expecting to use close to 3 skeins once I add length back to the body.

@olgahein827 23 дня назад

@@neknits thank you!

@caseypie 26 дней назад

Hey Amy! How would you describe the difficulty level of the Chrysler tank? Are KFO’s patterns easy to follow? I’ve only ever followed a PetiteKnit pattern

@neknits 24 дня назад

I would call the Chrysler Top adventurous beginner to intermediate! The bottom up construction in my opinion is easier than a top down camisole where you have to join all the parts at the beginning. I found this KFO pattern to be written pretty similarly to PetiteKnit patterns and straightforward to follow. This was my first KFO pattern, however I have heard some other patterns of theirs are tougher to follow.

@truesummerknits 26 дней назад

amy, I just want to let you know I am 100% convinced you are a true summer and not a winter. This has been my theory so I must share!

@neknits 24 дня назад

Definitely possible! Curious your reasoning? Also, I might have a professional color analysis booked soon...hehe I am excited to finally get to do that!! Will of course be sharing the results when it happens!
