everything I knit in 2022 | a year of sweaters, tanks, wraps and more

[@anishinaabae]

it really is so interesting to see how different other knitters are! i tried using tiny circs for sock knitting and absolutely despised the process, probably because i like being able to rest my hand on the bottom of a four or five inch needle and using that as leverage to move my stitches around more easily. now i'm strictly a two-at-at-time sock knitter on a very long magic loop, and i'm never looking back! it's just incredibly convenient and i'm glad to never get stuck on sock island ever again!

[@neknits]

I agree, it's amazing how different knitters can have so many different preferences! I would love to try two-at-a-time socks one day. It is such a cool concept to me!

[@anishinaabae]

@@neknits knitting really is so wonderful with all of the different techniques to achieve the same results! there's truly something for every kind of knitter. maybe TAAT socks can be a resolution this year!

[@CasualKnitter]

Wow now I want to try 2-at-the-time socks on magic loop, thanks for sharing!

[@valeriehazel4858]

I really like your straightforward, informative approach to podcasting. Your knits are great as well.

[@debbiedennie255]

I love your 2022 knits You are a beautiful knitter!! Love your podcast as you talk about your techniques you used on garments Thanks for coming into my living room while I knit Deb🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@neknits]

Thank you for watching!! ❤️

[@chairenn]

Such an informative and thorough video! Really appreciated your thoughts on the construction and design of the garments, as well as your yarn choices ❤️

[@lindaelder2898]

The finish work on your garments is exquisite! Your knitting is so even. Great work! I enjoy your commentary on your garments as well. Thank you.

[@Palouseweaver]

Thanks for your in-depth, honest assessment of your sweaters. I’d like to knit my first sweater, so I’ve been trying to learn as much as I can. Thanks, too, for using some affordable yarn choices that are readily available. I really enjoy listening to you talk about knitting.

[@rebecca-72]

Impressive round up for 1 year! Loved the detailed discussion of all the patterns and yarns - truly helpful when considering the pattern, thank you!!

[@normalloyd2885]

An excellent post-we appreciate your input on both the pros & cons

[@chrissy24-7]

Love your facial expressions when you really love your knit 🧶

[@CathyWuVancouver]

New subscriber here. Your video was very informative and fun to watch. Your husband was a good sport to model for you!

[@neknits]

I was so happy he agreed to model!

[@QueensYarnBoutique]

Love the buttons on your April Cardigan. I really like your Riley Tee and Polo Sweater. Your Cambria Wrap and Shift Cowl are stunning! 😍

[@mariae9584]

Hello from MI. I'm so happy to come across your channel. You are very talented and well spoken. I appreciate the detailed description of each garment and honest review. You have a very nice collection of knits. Congratulations on your knitted socks! You inspired me to make one :)

[@neknits]

Thank you!! And enjoy knitting your socks!

[@Tensytheneedlesmith]

I just found your channel and so happy to see your choice of sweater patterns. I am a huge fan of Petite Knit patterns and am also petite in height. Your comments about sizing and yarn selection will be so helpful when I get started on some of those sweaters that are in my cue. I don't like yoke colorwork patterns on my frame (although I think they are beautiful and have made several so I know they don't work for me) and too warm for everyday wear in Kansas where I live. It seems like KZbin focuses too much on those types of sweaters. Looking forward to seeing more of your content in the future!

[@neknits]

Thank you for watching, so happy you find my videos helpful!

[@EdenYell]

With Cami 4's straps, I thrifted a tank for my kid with a similar issue over the summer. I added a cute little button and loop on the back of the straps to make it a racerback with added detail to stop the slouching.

[@tangerineknits]

Thanks for this awesome episode! I really appreciate hearing the details you pay attention to inthe patterns & fabric. Super helpful as I consider which patterns I'd be interested in knitting to try a new technique also to wear!

[@chunklars5004]

Having just discovered your channel I do like this video and look forward to one in 2024!

[@paintnknitter]

Fantastic knits. I learn a lot from your videos and appreciate your time in creating them.

[@EMGcrafter]

What a great variety of items! They all look wonderful! I want to make my first pair of socks this year and have heard a few other knitters mention the vanilla socks so will have to check out the pattern! Thanks for the inspiration and sharing the pros and cons of your experience with the different projects!

[@logcabininthepines4016]

These are beautiful and inspiring! I’m finally knitting my own sweater and it’s really coming out great! I’d love to get to the point where I can make an entire wardrobe!!!!

[@neknits]

You got this! Good luck, and enjoy the process!

[@thesquishstitch]

The Two of Wands patterns are on my queue this year!! Yours look beautiful and so glad it’s a bra friendly and everyday garment - that’s exactly what I’m looking for! There are so many underrated summer tops out there besides the overly popular IG camis that are not that wearable daily honestly

[@neknits]

Agreed there! One of my goals this year is to focus on knitting more wearable patterns. It is such a waste of energy to make a top that isn't wearable!

[@rililie]

Hello! I am watching this a year later, so maybe you already know what I wanted to write here. I wanted to give you a little tip when you knit a surprise sweater again for your husband. You can simply chose one of his favourite garments that are in a similar style and fabric and use it as a kind of "template". Like this you can lay your project flat on the favourite garment and check width and length of body and sleeves. This is a foolproof method of getting your surprise to fit well in the end. I am happy to have discovered your channel. It was a very interesting video and you seem very sweet and well-spoken. Thank you for a great watch. Happy knitting!

[@chrissy24-7]

I think I'd really wear a cami under things or to sleep in, so cozy. Congratulations on your marriage! 💕

[@neknits]

Thank you!

[@bonnadowns524]

They are beautiful and you did a great job( love those colors ) Thanks you for sharing this video with us🙏👌💕🙏

[@lorrainewalker9426]

Omg your cowl is just gorgeous, thanks for sharing all your makes, I’ve just subscribed to your Chanel and looking forward to seeing what you’ll be knitting this year ❤️x

[@neknits]

Aw thank you! Welcome!

[@alinam8854]

I've just started watching your videos, and I really enjoy the visuals, how you present the information, the choice of models. I think (take my opinion with a grain of salt, please) the second sweater could have benefitted from being a touch denser/stiffer, being knit on the smaller size needles cause it gets a bit too droopy around the arm on the pic on 6:12. Also, it pulls blueish on you cause you're probably neutral to warm and have a sufficient amount of yellow to your complexion. The zipper sweater, the vest and the neck cowl are my favs, beautiful pieces!

[@rachelcunningham2498]

that hellscape camisole is a beautiful beautiful clubbing shirt, i'm sorry it was such a hassle! but it is gorgeous. maybe if the strap thing doesn't work you could just display it like art !

[@paulavento7943]

So Good! I watched it twice and took notes...

[@welovepies]

Excellent work! thank you for sharing your beautiful pieces.

[@E_DPS_35]

I see your 2nd jumper as light blue.

Beautiful things Amy! Enjoyed as always😊

[@renescheirer7569]

Exquisite knitting Amy! XO

[@bobettemccann8497]

Just an FYI - I purchased the Sweater #9 and Sweater #9 Lite patterns. The Lite pattern calls for short rows for the yoke and shoulders, so it's not as beginner friendly as the original #9. #themoreyouknow

[@neknits]

Ooo good to know! That makes me more drawn to the Lite version now - I've been loving all of my sweaters that have short row shaping in the yoke! They fit so nicely

[@lornaoyarce1355]

You produce beautiful work. Regarding the camisole No 4, as I look at yours, I think I might try to start the shoulder straps early - meaning, make them wider. Thoughts? I definitely prefer bra friendly tank options

[@Winterknits]

This video must have taken a lot of work to make! I enjoyed watching very much, thank you so much for sharing 😊

[@neknits]

Thank you for watching!

[@jmcgraw121]

I loved this video! Thanks for sharing 😊 I’m inspired to try sweater no.9! 😁

[@Emilydzinmb]

Please, when you hold knits up to the camera, keep them up about three times longer. It is kind of dizzying the holding up and back and holding up and back. Hoping to be helpful.

[@marta_makes]

I loved the video and your knits ❤️

[@kjlouisi4630]

Another fabulous, engaging, informative video and I thank you for your dedication to inform. I just recently purchased Valley Yarns Southampton alpaca silk from Webs at 7.29 per ball and Lion Brand Fishermans wool to make the Port Sweater by Ozetta. Got discounts and sales on both yarns so I feel pretty lucky there. I just hope the two combined won't be too bulky. I did the math for the size I am making and hope 5 balls of alpaca will be enough. Do you have plans to make any of the Ozetta patterns? I also like the Lakes Pullover. You have experience in knitting with mohair held with other yarns and I am making a size medium. Do you think 5 balls is enough? Like I said, I did the math and hope I have enough to swatch with. thank you!!

[@rislachius]

Your projects are so inspiring 🤩 I would love to make a Riley tee this summer maybe with some CoBoo I have in my stash. :)

[@neknits]

Oo a riley tee in coboo would be so nice for the summer!

[@dollywilliams3446]

Excellent sharing and workmanship!

[@brian123655]

I have a lace leaf wrap I want to make from a knitting shawl book I have and basically even though the pattern has basic stitches like SSK,YO,K2TOG The pattern only shows the one section you repeat in the pattern for that specific row you are working on and basically on track and not end up losing stitches I know there’s a thing called a lifeline but my pattern is a 10 row lace leaf pattern so I would probably put the lifeline after I finish every 10 Rows of the pattern but for example if you are on a certain row in the pattern it will say to do the one section and then it will have little stars telling you to repeat it how ever many times it tells you to repeat it and it would be nice if someone rewrote the pattern in a way I can understand it meaning if it says for example you repeat what is in the star section A total of three more time it would be written out three more time exactly so then when I finish the first repeat I cross that out and then I work on the second repeat and cross that out and then work on the third repeat and cross that out I hope this makes sense to someone and I know rewriting a pattern maybe copy writing but if someone can rewrite the pattern to make it easier for me before I tackle something a little challenging I would very much appreciate it because I don’t wanna have to rip back my work and start over so I really hope someone can help me so I can start my project Thanks 🙏

[@mylegacy6312]

Hello! I also live in MA! Where do you find the yarn for your knittings, is it online or at a store? Please let me know I only know Joann or michaels but they don’t have this type of yarn

[@neknits]

Hi there! Welcome! There are a lot of great local yarn shops in the greater Boston area. Here is a short list that participated in the Greater Boston Yarn Crawl, all have greal wools and mohairs for sweaters. greaterbostonyarncrawl.com/participating-shops/ I order Knitting for Olive online at their website, and some of the Sandnes Garn yarn I used I purchased while in Europe, but you can find some online retailers for them as well.

[@elise7806]

I had all the same issues with camisole #4! Which is such a bummer bc I was so excited to wear it 😢 I made it in cotton and I might try to shrink it

[@neknits]

It's such a pretty piece and I was so disappointed that I don't love it! I hope you are able to adjust yours to be wearable!

[@susanjackson1616]

It seems popular now to use combining yarns .. does that make it more expensive , buying 2 lots of yarn ? Love your podcast susan :))

[@neknits]

It is more expensive because yes, it's 2 whole lots of yarn. Although I enjoy the effect of the combined yarns, I'd love to find more yarn options that meet gauge without an added strand of mohair. To help save some $$ !

[@mngmay]

omg i tried knitting socks magic loop and i'm not liking it and caved and am waiting on 9inch needles. I hope that's the change that leads me to loving socks, too!

[@neknits]

I hope they help!!

[@bibabutzemann7059]

How many balls of double merino and mohair did you need for the Zipper Sweater? I want to order some and I'm quite unsure... I enjoyed your Video, thank you very much!

[@neknits]

I made the size S from the men's pattern and used 9 balls of the double merino and 5 balls of the mohair. I did not have much double merino leftover so for that size I'd recommend 10 balls!
