15 Sweater Knitting Ideas - Spring 2024 Edition

[@jampotts5730]

yes, please do make more videos of you talking about random knitting stuff, always interesting to hear plans and not being afraid to go independent from knitting patterns. If one owns a garment that one likes the fit of, making a swatch and doing lots of math and measuring is all that is needed to create a similar garment.

Don't encourage me too much ;) Thank you.

Going rogue with a waistcoat😂 Loved your enthusiastic ramblings on knitting! Much love from Shetland ❤❤❤

[@jimmydoesknitting]

Thanks so much. Good luck on the waistcoat. I believe in you.

So much fun to listen to you talk about knitting, Jimmy! The Modern Mudcloth sweater is stunning. That would move right to the top of my knitlist. I used a couple of historical gansey books to knit up about a dozen children's sweaters a while back. Very straightforward construction, lots of space for fun patterns. I just ordered from Studio Donegal (ordered on Sunday, received the following Friday here in Illinois) -- great yarn, wonderful to knit with. My first Studio Donegal sweater is blocking right now, cables and bobbles looking great. And I love your blue wall!

Thanks for the kind words. I just got my studio donegal order for this sweater this week, so I'm very excited. It's encouraging to hear you like it.

"I don't know if I like the sweater or if I like the man in the sweater..." The time-old dilemma 😂

[@jimmydoesknitting]

Haha. It's seriously a thing! It got back to one of the model of the Saven sweater when I said that. So embarrassing. ☺

Beautiful pattern suggestions and love to hear you talk about knitting! Apparently everyone gets more interested in a pattern sometimes because of the model😄

[@jimmydoesknitting]

Haha. I have fallen for that one once or twice. Thanks!

The bohus knitting book poems of color is available to borrow on the internet archive website too. Nice plan video Jimmy

[@jimmydoesknitting]

Thanks! I was aware of this book, but borrowing it is a game changer.

@@jimmydoesknitting there are quite a few good knitting and spinning books in there. It’s worth digging ;-)
