If they're selling the sweater at 500$ I wonder how much are they paying the knitters. I know a lot of people in the northern hemisphere exploit Knitters and other artisans in south america and Africa which take the job because they can't afford not to 😢

I’m 15 and I sew plushie clothing, pencil cases, plushies, and my own clothes. My mom is the one always telling me to sell my stuff! I would make a skirt and show her and it’s a constant stream of “you should sell that! You would make so much money!” So I did… over 50$ of materials I used for pencil cases, build a bear clothes, etc and I made 20 dollars. I now moderately make things like that when I’m bored and list them really cheap on Depop or Mercari without any hope of selling them. (I price them at around 3$ and hour and material costs because I’m still a beginner and my quality isnt perfect8

I noticed that the sewing g videos that just sew get hundreds of thousands of views if not millions but the ones where people are talking are very low.

Wow you look so beautiful in those grey overalls! 😊 awesome job on this video! ☺️

I love to give handmade gifts. My problem is getting into the mindset I have to gift everyone equally and I cause myself a lot of stress that way. Trying to break that habit. This year one daughter in law will get a beautiful lace scarf because I knew as soon as I saw the yarn I wanted to do that for her. But I won’t have time to make something equal to that for my other daughter in law this year. I will buy her something nice instead.

You're a delight to watch, Cassie! Happy to see you posting again xx

Yessss love the dress with the jacket!

Love the goal of sewing things slow and with love.

Thank you for the details on how much you shortened your colourblock Jenna. I saw it on your IG and (wanting to make it that sort of length myself) I love that you talked through your process here.

I just discovered your channel- thank you for chatting about this topic. I really struggle with this as well, I fantasize about calling myself a fiber artist- but I just can’t seem to do it despite knitting, crocheting, quilting and embroidering for nearly 25 years. I often feel like because I don’t have a degree in art ( my degree is in social work) I would be a fraud to call myself an artist. I wonder if I am alone in that thinking and am super curious if people with an art degree would agree or disagree that you need a degree in art to be an “ artist”?

I love your list, Cassie. I’ve made the soho vest from a sandwashed silk pillow sham that has very fancy quilted pattern, (lots of curved lines), with a silk kimono lining. I’ve also made it with an upcycled baby blanket and an Indian cotton pillow sham. It is such a fun vest to make and makes a great gift.

The ruffle bunch set is adorable, perfect for breastfeeding moms

so helpful! thank you very much :)

I think the green isn't your color, too sage. You need bright and clear fun

Love the cardigan!!!

I love your new vest! It is perfect on you 😍

So glad i found your vlog. I had such a great time at the swap. Just saw my own fabric on your video. What I picked up was double brushed poly. It's my fav shirt. Hope to do that again.

Your outfit fits you so so much! Such a lovely fresh appearance, and a very beautiful face❤ thank you for your thoughts, they inspire me!

I came to your video because I couldn’t really understand some steps in sewing and thought I could get clarity. Turns out you were having the same issues! The instructions are a head scratcher. And some of the applications of the leftover pieces of fabric seem like unnecessary doodads. And extra time and complication to a pretty simple garment

I would love if you made this into a series! this is really helpful as a tool for learning how to design your own garments and what details to focus on. Hopefully you can get a yarn sponsorship in the future lol

the vest is so cute !

The broken rib is so pretty!! Now I want a super fuzzy vest lol

Hello! I love the Tolsta Tank, and it looks so good on you. The yarn in your giveaway is so beautiful! I am not skilled enough to make the sweater, but I would love to make my daughter a shall. Thank you for such a lovely, generous giveaway 🙂. Edit: Actually, I would crochet a simple sweater, and it would be gorgeous ❤

Thanks for linking the pattern, I've been looking for something to do with about 200g of light fingering wt. wool that I got on a whim from an agricultural fair, and this seems perfect!

The vest is gorgeous!

This was so much fun to watch. I loved it! The vest is beautiful!

Did you knit top-down? I do this when I fear I have not enough yarn.

It's been so fun watching this journey, and the finished vest is just STUNNING on you!

It is AMAZING !!!

Just opened KZbin and saw your video hehe ❤ this vest is SO gorgeous and I’ve been loving the process on insta so much 🫶🏻

It’s a joy to see you get your knitting mojo back! Now I’m feeling inspired to make a clematis vest too!

I'd love to enter the giveaway. I would knit christmas sweaters for my little twins. <3

Hi. Not sure what happened to my original comment but it isn't here. I would love to be entered for the giveaway. Thank you for the chance to enter. Have a great week.

Thanks for sharing this video and your journey! I started a sewing channel a few weeks ago. Nothing viral yet, but I was thrilled to have my first 50 subs!

Another interest is for those of us who are primarily crocheters and while maybe I can knit, I can't knit very well. I feel like it would take a lot of time learn to knit well and I don't feel like spending that time since I can already crochet most things, but this seems like a great option for those pieces that just look better knit.

I love the vest!!

So glad to find your video! I love all things knitting and sewing. I’m not sure if you’ve done the give away yet but those colours are amazing together! I’ve been wanting to do the tecumseh or dandewishes colourwork sweaters. I’ve done one colourwork sweater and can’t wait to do another.

I absolutely love those yarn colors!! I love the idea of making an oversized turtleneck with blue as the main color with some yellow stripes across the middle of it!

I would love to enter the giveaway :) I would make a striped knit sweater, probably raglan as that's what my skill level allows

That yarn is so cute!! I’d absolutely make the same sweater, it’s so cool and I love the colors

great review of all your projects, thanks for sharing. Glad you are feeling better and appreciate that you talk about it to help normalize mental health awareness. If I won I think I would make a shawl as I like the cozy yarn around my neck.

What did you do with the excess Fabric? . I had same problem with front panel not matching up on shoulder seams. It must be a pattern issue.

Loved your video Cassie 🩷✨ thanks for sharing all your great projects! And glad you're feeling better 😊 depression sucks 👎 I love the blue and yellow colours you chose 💛🩵 I'd love to make My Honey Vest by Wool and Beyond. It would be so soft and fun! 🧶😍 Happy making 🌻

Omg I have just found you and I think it came at the right time! I’ve also started knitting not too long ago and knitting has inspired me to get some colour into my wardrobe ❤❤ I would love to make a cardigan with contrasting stitch using the giveaway yarn! 🧶

Love all the knit patterns you choose. You could honestly be my one-stop shop for finding patterns to knit

I'm loving using Summer Lee's book. Very inspired by her colour choices and love the spotty strips too. As I'm watching this I'm knitting a dk sock in a pastel speckled yarn with neon pink stripes at the top.

Hi Cassie! I'm just getting back to my knitting (I found you years ago when I was into knitting back then hahaha). This giveaway is so amazing, I would love to make the Terracotta sweater (um, maybe 2 of them, and supplement with some of my own yarn hehe) with your giveaway yarn, as I think there might not be enough yarn for me to make the exact same pattern as you, due to sizing. I just moved countries so don't have my stash (and don't have my sewing gear, except a little hand sewing kit that I brought). Xx
