[@sweaterandspice]

thank youuu its FULL of mistakes but thankfully the mohair hides most of them 😅

[@annabelle7123]

Four years into knitting garments and I still cannot stand knitting only mohair!

[@nickiethesaint316]

You’ve got a very agreeable vibe. 🎈🎈

I have loved hearing about your knitting experience because it sounds like we have had similar pasts in having knit a bit as a kid and then picked it back up again after a long time of not knitting at all. Great overview to your experience and thank you for sharing!! This learning journey is fun, isnt’t it? 🙂

[@made.byalena]

everything is literally so cute!!! i’m obsessed

[@miriamli1071]

I think your red tank could look super cute worn over a long sleeve top! 😀 maybe it would save you from frogging it

[@xlierknittingx]

so glad i came across your channel! haven't really looked twice on the poppy tee but i think you've sold it to me with yours!!

[@clairescozycorner]

happy new year!! Love that you put the prices into the video too. that drawstring cami is so cute I hope you're able shrink it back down!

[@tiffanyharrison21]

You knit so much in your first year! And you pick colors that suit you so well ☺

[@Jade-fw6ni]

if you really want to keep the drawstring cami, you can actually shrink superwash merino in the dryer! it should bounce back to its initial size x

[@sweaterandspice]

ooooh I’ll give this a try! I’ve never put a knit into the dryer so I’m very nervous about the idea but it’s worth a shot!

[@KnitsByNayla]

The drawstring top, maybe you don’t have to frog the hole thing if you actually like the top. Maybe pick a column on each side of the front and back and put in a life line. Then cut the seam and redo the mattress seam where your lifeline is for a better fit. I haven’t tried it but in theory I think it could work! 😅 Overall a great year of knits! ❤

Ahhhhh I love your video style!!! I also made my "what I made in 2023" video as short as possible hahaha. Your first every sweater is absolutely stunning!! Fantastic job!!

[@marleneknits]

My first sweater was also a two strand mohair project like why? Haha Beautiful projects though, loved listening to your experiences and learnings form this last year of knitting ❤

[@annabelle7123]

Good to know that Sandnes Garn Duo is scratchy! I can’t even stand mohair so I don’t I could take in scratchy top!

[@tarknits3717]

That red is absolutely gorgeous!!!! you haveee to repurpose it! what pattern are you thinking?

[@sweaterandspice]

girlll I don’t even knowwww I just know I like the yarn 😂 maybe a tank??

[@lizt6892]

LOVE this video! I've just gotten into knitting. Is there any chance you could post a video or yt short explaining how you modified the ripple halter pattern? i would love to make a top like it but can't quite find the right pattern and i looove how you've modified yours!

[@sweaterandspice]

oo maybe! But for now I can try to explain it to you here hehe - pretty much in the Ripple Halter pattern you work it top down, starting in the round with the mock neck 2x2 rib. Eventually there’s a section where you bind off part of the “collar” and start to split for the front and back yoke, and that’s when i modified the pattern. At that point I essentially followed the stitch count for a larger size for the front yoke (I think I went up 2 sizes). From there you work increases as called for in the pattern and I just went until I hit the original size I was going for (so for example if I was going for size 2, I cast on the size 2 stitch count, did ribbing until it’s time to bind off the collar, followed the size 4 front/back yoke split, then did increases until I hit the final stitch count called for in size 2). Sorry about the wall of text but I hope that’s at least somewhat helpful!! I also highly recommend the Jessie made pattern, it’s v well written ☺️

@@sweaterandspice thank you so much for a detailed explanation! can't wait to try it out :)
