Hello and welcome to a knitting vlog where I take you along the journey of desiging and knitting a colorwork swetaer from start to finish with a little twist :)
I've had this very specific idea that I've wanted to try out on a colorwork sweater, and in this video this idea finally came to life.
We visited the legendary Stephen & Penelope yarn shop www.stephenandpenelope.com/ while we were on our way home to Finland from Portugal, and I picked up the perfect yarns for this project.
I hope you'll enjoy following along this design and knit journey, thank you so much for watching :)

Only knitters understand the excitement when the project is finished and share this feeling with other knitters is just awesome! Congrats Kika! It’s stunning, I loved it ❤

@sineadmbewe7199 Год назад

I was working in the Stephen & Penelope the day you came in and meeting my knitting hero absolutely made my day 😍

@Kutovakika Год назад

Oh I'm so glad to hear that 😍 The shop was truly spectacular, it was so nice meeting you 💙

@sandravt2168 Год назад

As a Dutchie abroad, I happily came along with you to the Amsterdam streets and felt just as nostalgic. You are so inspiring. The sweater is stunning!

@@Kutovakika Hei, I just wanted to let you know that some scammers are posting to people under this video, saying we won a giveaway..

@Liz.Green789 Год назад

That was a lot of fun. I about squealed when you landed at Stephen & Penelope. I love their yarn walls from very far away. And your wall is pretty wonderful. Thank you for sharing your journey.

Those equipment were my "Toys".My dad was a yarn seller and mum was knitdesigner and I was asisting her if there were too many orders.I got tears😢missing those days.You are a lovely woman and you guys are a lovely couple❤🎉 /This cake form is definetly helpful.Thank you for your awesome videos!

@elenityler8351 Год назад

I lived in Germany for 14 years in my 20s and i fell in love with the yarn shops! I worked for Nevia and as an American I learned so much. I got to travel to Holland, Amsterdam, Italy etc. . I found that Europe has the best yarn shops in the world and I fell in love with the people. I have been back in America for over 20 years and I just wish we had yarns or should I say yarn shops like this here in the south. Your work is stunning and I hope one day to knit as beautiful as you. I Thank the ladies I met in Germany for giving me a gift of knitting. They didn't realize they gave me a lifetime wonderful gift. I also will say you have the best channel on RU-vid. Thank you for all your hard and sharing with us your talent.

I am always blown away from your positive energy! Turning on one of your videos is always like getting hit from a positive-smiling-energy tornado. ❤ And the stitches sweater looks amazing. So cozy and comfy. Greetings from Belgium

@shawnabenedict2208 Месяц назад

Wow this is gorgeous! So fun to watch you create this sweater.

@annetteavery3349 Год назад

I think it must be the light in Finland or the brightness from the snow , but your colours are beautiful. Lovely 💕

@susanschwerdtfeger7310 Год назад

I absolutely love your energy and enthusiasm for what you do! I get so much joy from watching your vlogs. Your “Stitches” sweater turned out beautifully! I also really love your finished seater that you showed at the beginning of the video. I look forward to seeing that pattern come to life! ❤

So so excited!!! I found a store in Canada, The Knitting Loft, to buy your amazing book for a very affordable shipping price. Can’t wait! You are such an amazing designer with a special and different touch. Everything looks unique. Congratulations for all the wonderful things you’ve add to the knitting world. Big hugs from Québec, Canada xx

@Tanyachen14 8 месяцев назад

Yayyy! I'm also from Québec, and was trying to find a way to buy her book. Thanks to your comment, I'll also be able to buy my own copy from a canadian shop. :)

@nokesbob2256 Год назад

Okay, now I want my own yarn wall! It's so cool! And your colorwork sweater is gorgeous. I love the colors you chose. Thank you for showing us Stephen & Penelope yarn shop. I love Stephen West. He is brilliant. I also wanted to say I love how you do your videos. Including your trips and the yarn shops and seeing the yarn in the shop and then the finished sweater is so satisfying.

@katespin99 Год назад

You are such a delight. Loved going into Stephen and Penelope with you. The sweater is gorgeous. Love your enthusiasm about it.

@15AAAdhod Год назад

I love your energy, passion and designs for knitting. You have inspired me to start a sweater for the first time. Have done a bit of color work on a toque. Loved it. Love love love the white sweater you are wearing. I can’t wait to buy the pattern. TU. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

@SarcasticShrubbery Год назад

I live right around the corner from that yarn shop... so much fun to see my hometown in a video! And your enthusiasm and slightly chaotic energy is really infectious, it really puts a smile on my face :)

@nataliepitcher2612 Год назад

I love your passion and excitement with each project. You have reignited my love for knitting. We are going into our Winter in South Africa, which is not nearly as cold as the northern hemisphere I am sure, however I am starting out with cheaper wool and as I improve my skill I will upgrade. When I need an energy boost, I watch your videos as I just love your energy. Thank you for sharing your talent

@valerieehrman3720 Год назад

I love watching your videos. I find my heart "smiling" as I watch. You are so inspiring and truly delightful!😊

@sarahbhutta251 Год назад

Looks great. I wasn’t sure about the colors but completed it looks modern and timeless at at once.

@autisticNature Год назад

What a beautiful sweater and the colours are absolutely gorgeous. they suit you so well. 😍 i'm currently knitting the wishbone sweater. I love your style of writing a pattern. It's so easy to follow. And a year ago you were the reason why I started knitting again. And now I'm absolutely in love with it. So, thank you 🙏🏻 Thanks to you I finally found a hobby I really like. 🙏🏻

@linneaedwards1862 Год назад

Gorgeous colourwork!! I am already obsessed with your yarn wall. A tour or flash my stash would absolutely amazing. I could stare at yarn all day haha and that wall in another level of aesthetic. Love your work!

@olesyabaron1689 Год назад

Dear Kika, are you going to put your lovely „salty day“ sweater, which you have knitted newly, on revelry? I hope 🤞 🎉 It’s so lovely!

@Bucknills Год назад

I would love to knit a sweater but I don't have the patience. I find I start something and then change my mind. When I was younger I had a box full of ribs that I'd knitted and not got any further because I couldn't make my mind up. So now I knit and crochet smaller items, started a business and sell them around the country at shows, in shops and in galleries. I always use natural yarns and fibres. I'm really loving your RU-vid channel. Thank you for sharing ❤

@kathrin2680 Год назад

Wou, such an amazing sweater. Really nice colours and the words are sooo funny and lovely.

@noelleparris9451 Год назад

It's a beautiful sweater. You did a wonderful job. And thanks for giving us a peek at Stephen and Penelope 😊

@marianfairburn8613 Год назад

Absolutely love the sweater! Wish I had a beautiful yarn shop near me! Thoroughly enjoyable programme.

@user-is6zd6ug9g Год назад

Such a super energy! Great work! As I was watching the video it was clear why you were so confident by choosing the colors for this knit! Your beautiful sweater matches totally your house!! All the colors of your sweater are found in your house! The light blue furniture, the blanket…!!! Gorgeous!! Thank you for your beautiful videos!!❤

@manuelastockl1451 Год назад

Oh … first I thought the name on the Pullover means „ Stiches Witch „ 🫣🫣🫣 I think I need glasses 👓 😂😂😂 But again a super nice work ❤

@northwoodfalls1403 Год назад

I love it! I love the colours you chose and it looks sooooo soft and cosy! It makes me think of a crew neck sweatshirt but so much nicer but it has that comfort vibe to it. The word choice was perfect. So clever and cute! The fit looks relaxed but not bulky or boxy …. Really nice!! I really like watching you work on these projects. I am a newer knittter. I’ve done a few sweaters now but I am so intimidated by written patterns/instructions. I’m a real visual learner. I want to learn new techniques but again, most of it is in written format and I struggle with that. Watching you design a sweater in your head and then work it out as you go is actually teaching me a lot about how different sweaters are constructed, and what to consider when it comes to sizing and what not. Your tutorials have all been so easy for me to grasp and follow along with and even when you are doing things that are still a bit out of my ability, I’m following along and learning things I can apply to where I am currently at and it’s encouraging me to just try. It’s just yarn, I can always undo it and try again. So, thank you 😊 Also, I followed Stephen and Penelope on IG after watching this. What an inspiration their account is! Next time I go to Amsterdam I will definitely make a special trip to go to their store ❤

@elsgoessenhilders241 Год назад

Super leuk om te zien dat je ging stralen, in de winkel in Amsterdam .🥰🥰🥰 Ik woon in Nederland dus moet ik daar maar eens gaan kijken ,mooie winkel,en erg veel garen ik heb met plezier naar je video gekeken.Groeten uit Nederland Els

@andreamiller6200 Год назад

What an unparalleled treat to spend time with you on your joyful video today and take part in the pleasures of design, yarn and production! I noticed also that Jukka (Juki?) had a wee exchange in English with you, and while I love to hear him speak in any language, it just felt so supportive of your venture that he kept the spirit. Thanks for the good mood, and for the burst of creativity. I am invigorated! (P.S. I loved to see your sister and your mom, too)

@mariae9584 Год назад

From start to finish, thank you for taking us along on your colorwork journey! I can live vicariously through you and share in your excitement! The sweater is absolutely beautiful and perfect! I Love the fit, colors, patterns, the word choice, everything! It looks so cozy too! Im from Michigan, US so its still cold here and I can wear that sweater right now, too. You are so talented!

@lilydavies6218 Год назад

You are an inspiration as a knitter, designer, and creative. What a stunning sweater.

@julim2603 Год назад

The sweater looks excellent! That yarn store was a paradise on earth💓 And your studio looks so pretty with all your yarns in place. (Btw, loved the lil Mr Burns reference)
