knitting my 6'4 boyfriend his first oversized sweater

Happy Valentine's Day ‪@JoshuaHuntsWorld‬!
Y'all I had SO MUCH FUN making this sweater for Josh! I'm slowly but surely getting faster at the knitting machine. I really want to get to the place where I can make fun customized sweaters for everyone in my life :)
Thanks for watching, welcome to the Sunflower Family!

[@flootzavut30daychallenge]

YOUR MIND Also I love that your big tall boyfriend went "I want a pretty pastel sweater" that's beautiful 🥹

[@CreatesCrazyAri]

When they hugged he was rubbing her back and the sleeve made him look like a pastel wizard 😂😂❤❤

[@HollyAuna]

He’s absolutely a pastel wizard 😂💖

[@kurageh1me]

this is the first time I've seen one of your videos that wasn't a short, your style is SO fun and comfy. I love this, can't wait to watch the rest of your videos ^_^

[@HollyAuna]

OMGOSH welcome to the long form sunflower family :) new videos every monday!!!! (I just started doing the every monday a few weeks ago this is my 4th one!) i've been having SO much fun with my longform so thank you for the kind words it means so much!!!

[@Kksworld1414]

Holly you are the best KZbinr ever you taught me how to crochet and the effort you put in to say my name means alot so from the sunflower family thank you

[@HollyAuna]

Aweee is this Kinley Morgan? It doesn’t show names only usernames when I see your comments. Thanks for being in the sunflower family 🌻💖

[@Kksworld1414]

Yes!😊

[@Justheretochill-xk9td]

Aww, the fact that you made it for him because hes tall and clothes sometimes dont fit properly makes me so happy! You see, my father is a VERY. TALL. MAN. Im not even exaggerating, he is well over 7 feet 2 inches tall!!! Finding clothes that fit his proportions is very frustrating for him and it makes me sad😢 Someday though, I am going to teach myself how to sew clothes so I can make him comfortable clothing 😊 Sorry for the random rant, I just love my father so much.

[@HollyAuna]

Aweeee yes you get it! I was so so so happy to be able to make him his first oversized hoodie!! I really want to learn to sew because it'll be so much easier i think to keep making exactly the sizes we want! Let me know how your learn to sew journey goes! I'll be sharing my sewing journey this year too!

[@partyfiesta1557]

Just to let you know: you can knit with any kind of yarn, wool included! Some novelty yarns are harder to use but nothing is impossible with proper techniques

[@HollyAuna]

On the LK 150 knitting machine!? I need to do more research I just heard one knitting machine KZbinr say you couldn’t do wool?

[@partyfiesta1557]

@@HollyAuna I have the same exact machine. It’s very versatile. I even use some of hand spun yarns when I am spinning consistently (not art yarn that would be the exception) but wool works like butter in the machine. You just need to play with the tension mast and dial. Since it’s a mid gauge you can stretch its use to almost lace weight yarns if you don’t mind holey fabrics to using it as if it were a bulky machine by using every other needle. Swatching and washing your swatches to see if you like the end result is your best bet. I’m planning to make a simple tote bag with wool I spun that feels too coarse for my taste. But the fiber was way cheaper than acrylic… I will then full the fabric to make it real sturdy. Have fun and keep making videos it’s fun to watch the two of you! Hugs from Provence, Adrien 😘

[@MotherWolf86]

I have never used a knitting machine but I have noticed when crocheting that Caron Pound is thicker than like Red Heart even though both are a 4 weight so that maybe why getting stuck

[@HollyAuna]

Ahh thank you for commenting this! i thought my machine was breaking at first lol. BUT last night I made myself a sweater vest on the machine with different yarn and it was SO MUCH EASIER. Good to know not to use caaron in the future lol

YES yay can we please normalise being super slow at 'yarning' I can crochet but it takes me so so so long to finish a project, 9 hours is a wonderful amount of time🧡🧡

[@HollyAuna]

Absolutely!!! This sweater ended up taking me about 13 hours total and that’s with the machine!!!! I’m not going to lie, this would’ve taken me months to finish by hand. But that is one of the beautiful things about crafting it’s never a race 💖

[@FurbyLover1921]

I was wondering 🤔 how you made Like the cuffs 😅 idk if that's what they are called . The pink parts

[@HollyAuna]

Basically I cast on with a waste yarn and do about ten rows, then switch to the color of my cuff and do double the amount of rows I want for the cuff so I did 40. At the end of 40 I take every loop from the first row of the cuff color and pick it up with my transfer tool and put it back on the machine then I switch to my arm color and start knitting back and forth. At the end of the project i carefully cut off the waste yarn. Hope this helps
