[@bettymcwoods9799]

I love the sweater you have on. I haven't ever knit a sweater yet, as i am new to knitting. This may be my first attempt.

[@starcrossedknits]

like honestlyyyy!!! looking up all the pics for this video made me want to 1. start rewatching again immediately and 2. knit 50 turtlenecks lmao

[@loridesrosiers]

First time catching you and I LOVE all the suggestions, I love GG and all the knits in the show!

[@starcrossedknits]

thank you for watching and ugh SAME!!! fighting the desperate urge to cast on a new turtleneck immediately..

[@beeurself8947]

omg a very nice video, very detailed! gave me inspiration to pick up my needles again

[@ellajakovickas]

Oh my gosh just found you through this video!!! Love love this and all your content 🎉

[@starcrossedknits]

@@ellajakovickas aw thanks so much for watching and for saying that!

[@nancypal]

"as with most tv shows, theyre wearing clothes" 🤣🤣🤣

[@erinpearce3577]

Fun fact, I learned to knit solely to eventually recreate the Rory Sweater. I can’t believe nobody has recreated and written an exact pattern for it!

[@starcrossedknits]

hahah that's amazing, where are you on your journey to reaching that goal? and honestly someone should, the ppl yearn for it!!!

[@erinpearce3577]

@@starcrossedknits it’s going well! I cast on for the first time in my life almost 3 months ago and have finished a few Sophie scarves, a cable hat, and I’m now working my first raglan sweater. So steady progress, but it’ll be a while before I feel capable of editing/modifying patterns to get an exact replica. :)

[@starcrossedknits]

hell yeah, that's such good progress so far!!! i love when i see other ppl who approach building their knitting skills in a similar way as i did when i was first learning! im BEGGING you to document the process when u finally do attempt the recreation! @@erinpearce3577

[@partiallypaula]

FINALLY getting around to watching your videos. Started with this one because Gilmore Girls. Loved a lot of the patterns. Really want to make the Boob Window Top so girls night out can really be girls night out. And I do really want to know how you feel about Dean.

[@knittedbywhitney]

I love this video because I'm definitely a Gilmore Girls fan (I was a Rory fan when it first came out, but totally a Lorelai fan now!), however I was really surprised and disappointed at how few of the patterns you shared were size-inclusive, especially because you value size-inclusivity in your own designs. If you do more of these videos it would be great to see more size-inclusive patterns -- how cool would a Taylor Swift-inspired knitwear video be? 🤩

[@starcrossedknits]

I'm sorry to have disappointed you :( Though the majority of the patterns I shared are inclusive, I honestly agree that it sucks that I couldn’t find inclusive patterns for every one of them!! Thankfully inclusivity has improved so much since the early 2000s, but that sometimes means that some vintage-y trends like the ones in this video can be tough to find good inclusive patterns for. I am deffff doing my best to bring more inclusive Lorelai-inspired patterns into the world with my own designs, I just wish I could design and knit 10 times as fast!!! 😪 My goal that I always have for these videos is general knitting inspiration- so I think that people might still be inspired by elements of various knitting patterns, even if they wouldn’t choose to knit the specific pattern that I'm showing as a reference. Maybe that's a naive mindset that's clouded by being a designer myself? Because I think the beauty of making our own clothes is that we can find inspiration everywhere and modify our projects to our hearts’ content - so maybe someone wouldn’t have thought to modify their fav inclusive design to add a flared sleeve, but including that inspo in this video could give them that idea. But as I promised, this inspo video and my future ones will be including sizes up front for any pattern mentioned. I hope this helps explain my thought process and intentions more clearly

[@knittedbywhitney]

@@starcrossedknits thank you for your honest and thoughtful reply Tamara, I really appreciate your dedication to size-inclusivity in your designs and yes we haven certainly improved in available sizing since the 2000s!

[@emiknits02]

Hi! I would just like to say that I don't think the Hourglass sweater you mention at 6:54 is actually available? I cannot find it, and several other people on the Raverly page say the same thing. The only thing I've found about it is a list of corrections, along other corrections for other patterns. I saw in the projects that some people have completed the sweater after 2018 (when I think it was pulled from the internet), but I'm not sure where or how long they've had the pattern. Did you find the pattern? Thanks:)

[@starcrossedknits]

@@emiknits02 Oh no, bummer! I try not to share patterns that are unavailable but I made this video 10 months ago so I can’t really remember at this point, sorry! I like to include things for the inspiration as well, like to highlight various elements that characters tend to wear, even if you’re not able to literally recreate it

[@torieburmeister3741]

the cursed golf hats lmao

[@starcrossedknits]

i thought u would also like the birken bag insert hehe

[@torieburmeister3741]

the way the cadence of "a birken bag. A birken bag for Rory" has become like an intrusive melody in my head over the years... i love her @@starcrossedknits

[@hailey1273]

Princess Diana inspired knits???

[@starcrossedknits]

ooo she def has some ICONIC knits!
