Stephen West breaks color rules all the time and is celebrated for it. If anything he’s taught me that you can really do whatever you with color. I love your choices.

@Pinnipedantic 24 дня назад

I'm a graphic designer and I'm amused by your assessment of the reaction to the sweater. I'm crazy about the cyan/red/white/brown portion. the pale pink is throwing me, but I think it adds to the overall funkiness. This feels like the kind of color combo that will be coming up soon. Idk if you're similar, but I have a tendency to be drawn to.color combos or specific colors 6-9 months before they become suuuuper popular. Anyway, excited to see this progress!!

@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS 24 дня назад

Love this! I totally understand your amusement here. In fact, I also think it’s funny that I would assume that reaction, but I just see so much of the chosen color palettes among knitters and it’s all so…coherent. Not that that’s bad (obviously). But it just tends to be predictable. And the color enthusiast in me yearns for something different ALL THE TIME. And the pale pink throws the whole thing off. But I sort of love that. I’m just subverting all the dominant paradigms here. 😏

Your sweater matches the art on the wall behind you, and since you obviously love that, you will love your sweater too, lol! You did the right thing by adding the darker color to tie everything together. Great job! I can't wait to see it finished!

@dcantu-paez4308 5 дней назад

Love the colors. That dark brown really compliments the other colors. Sweater looks great. The color combination is so cool you could stop anytime and complete it with the dark brown and still have that pop factor.

Another thing you can do to learn about adding shorts rows is on The Unapologetic Knitter podcast episodes 26 & 43. You had mentioned it in one of your previous podcasts and she is great at explaining adding short rows in different top down sweater styles. Best part is that it is free to watch and learn! Looks like the sweater is so fun to knit!

@annetteavery3349 24 дня назад

Your sweater, your colours. Be comfortable and make something you WILL want to wear. I am currently using up a stash of really old(1980’s I think) acrylic/mohair/ wool mix in some ‘old fashioned ‘ shades, for me and I love it. Love your colour map, it’s great and if I really want to make a garment using colours that are not great for my complexion, I don’t put it under my chin I move it down the sweater between, it works ❤

@tmenotti 13 дней назад

Your Huxtable sweater is looking fabulous! Without exaggeration, it is my favorite garment you've worn on this show! Quirky? Yes! But positively suits your personality! Well done. (You should know I have never left a RU-vid comment ever before, and I literally paused work to leave you this, as I watched you apologetically describe your reasoning for the color choices.) You nailed it!

@Erika_knits 23 дня назад

The vibe of this sweater is, I stole my dad’s sweater and I just want to be cozy. This would look great with a light wash jeans and cowboy boots, with your hair in a bun or pony. Elevated easy ❤

This sweater with all of those colors is going to be stunning and will look fabulous on you! I did notice when I looked at the pattern photos that there was no neck shaping and I really appreciate your tips on adding short rows.

I love how your colors are working together, but I also am a big fan of quirky colors and high contrast. I was so excited after your last video where you talked about this sweater that I started planning a Christmas version of it and bought my yarn that same day.

@arwenwestrop5404 24 дня назад

Wow Taylor, colour! I love it! So many knitters on YT use black (?) which you don't even see any stitch patterns on, or grey, beige, white - the 'neutrals'. So boring! And this is so gloriously colourful! I love the colours you've chosen and am really looking forward to seeing what other colours you come up with!

@lforsey1899 23 дня назад

When I first tried on my most recent sweater, I was so disappointed by that neckline "choking", because I was sure that I'd done the short row shaping correctly... Until I realized I had literally put it on backwards in my rush to try it on. Turns out it fits much better when you put it on correctly!

@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS 22 дня назад

LOL! Been there!

@tovalieberman8326 23 дня назад

Tayler, This sweater is beautiful. You are doing an amazing job. I think your color combination is terrific. Thank you for pointing out the neckline issue. I made my husband a ski sweater a long time ago. The color work was multiple colors and to this day I am so proud of it. the one problem which I did not know at the time was the neckline. It was a crew type and unfortunately was the same front and back. He never really used it because frankly it was not comfortable. It was a bit weird at the neckline. After all these years, I recently learned why. Now I will always make the back of neck with more fabric to accommodate for this. Can't wait to watch for your progress. I would love it, if you would think about making a kit with these colors as you could dye the colors and sell it as a kit. BTW your collar on the screen looks like navy or a dark gray. That also looks quite nice.

@uncannycory1565 24 дня назад

@FayGavigan-sr5dy 24 дня назад

Your colours are gorgeous. I love the dark at the neck. Sometimes things just work because they do and it does 😍

@patternandcraft 22 дня назад

The color reminds me of those mixed color seed bead bulk packs that were super standard to find in craft stores, at least in my youth. there was always navy, turquoise, orange, bright red, dark red and white. Perhaps a light green as well? This has vibes like those with maybe the pink swapped for the green and the brown swapped for the orange.

@maryannw5289 22 дня назад

I agree with everyone that Stephen West breaks color rules all the time and gets stunning results. I also recall another famous colorwork designer saying if you’ve selected a few colors for a sweater and they don’t quite coordinate, just throw in some more colors and it will all balance out. Looks great to me!

@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS 22 дня назад

I totally believe that advice..in fact that's what I did here to sort of make sense of the main colors I had in mind. It's really remarkable how it works. 😊

Beautiful. I have to admit that I was a little concerned about the brightness of the yellow, last week. However, you are making it work beautifully. Also, that is one of my favourite shades of blue, so I love how that is incorporated. It's wonderful that you are sticking to your guns to using up stash. Thank you, also, for explaining about the neck line. I'm knitting a sweater for the first time in about 30 years, with wool that I purchased about that long ago. While my sweater is a bottom up, pieced sweater, it was useful to hear an explanation about how the neckline works - even though, the technique I will be using will be different. Have an awesome day!

@WOOLNEEDLESHANDS 22 дня назад

Thank you so much Julia. I wouldn't be lying if I said I wasn't also concerned about the brightness of the yellow, but once I planned it out on graph paper, I saw the vision. And good for you for using your stash yarn in your sweater. I imagine it's going to be beautifully constructed. ❤️

Your enthusiasm is contagious! I actually loved the colors right from the get go and wondered why you presented them with such trepidation. All those color rules are made to be broken and they are all the time. Go for it!

@simplyannadee 24 дня назад

My understanding is that historically, Nordic sweaters didn’t do the neck shaping, and some of the modern designers have just stuck with that tradition. (Actually, I don’t think Elizabeth Zimmermann incorporated neck shaping into her top down system either?) It’s interesting the different range of approaches! I don’t really mind lack of neck shaping (though I don’t dislike the shaping either), but I also like boatneck/wider necklines than you do, which I think makes a higher neckline feel less constricting. It’s definitely a good skill to be able to add the short rows when desired, though! And those colors look great on you.

Love this sweater, Tayler! The dark brown really grounds those pops of color and its repeat accentuates and pulls it all together…great work! Doing a color chart first is a must, good planning! I will never knit a sweater without short rows and after knitting Junko Okamoto’s Andy sweater, learned how to put them in the back when you have a structured neckline. Highly recommend that pattern, it came out great, even with my mods. So glad you jumped in the deep end with this and I can’t wait to see it finished! All the best from San Francisco.❤️

Good on you for using colours from your stash rather than buying (or dyeing) more. ❤ That is pretty much how I operate with fabrics in my quilting.
