Jenna had fun editing this one hahah i love it

[@JennaPhipps]

I really did 😂

[@mandeliongardens]

The transitions had me giggling!

[@sadpotatoO_O]

@@mandeliongardens sameeeee

[@ASquareGranny]

RIGHT?!?! 😂

[@sadpotatoO_O]

I love how the video just devolved into chaotic transitions and children's cartoon music. I'm so here for it 😂

[@Aahlife]

I love oversized and roomy sweaters, especially in very cold weather. I think it would have been a great look if you continued with it bigger than you intentioned.

[@crowed5]

"I just realised every fall season I knit a sweater" **It's fall.**

[@Brune2M]

Jenna you inspire me so much I literally talk about crochet with my grandma now 😂

[@JennaPhipps]

This makes me so happy

[@CloTricots]

If you wanna keep making your own sweater patterns, I recommend looking into the Elizabeth Zimmermann Percentage System. Unless you like messing things up at least once every time you start something (which i suspect you kinda do 😂), there are so many great resources to learn how to design.

[@wronggeometry]

Binging your videos rn is getting me through some stuff. Love to you and the doglets

[@notanotherknittingtutorial]

The amount of serotonin I receive from seeing a new Jenna video is insane.

[@omgitsanimalLady]

as someone who is making a king sized blanket in crotchet LOOKING AT YOUR VIDS GIVE ME SO MUCH INSPO TO WHAT TO PUT ON IT

[@Butterfly01_NL]

Love your knitting and crochet videos! To be honest, I love all your videos, you are such an inspiration to just go out and make things without worrying too much. (On another note, love the grey sweater, blue jeans and gold necklace, hair in a bun look)

[@spid3rgwen415]

Atm I’m really depressed and I just want to say thank you ❤️ You make me laugh and it’s just a highlight of my day. You don’t know how much you mean to some of us Jenna. Thank you for making these videos. I don’t know what I would do without them

[@bgummeson]

I love how you are ‘all in’ with all your projects. Btw there is a great video on YT titled ‘How to Turn Your Fingering Yarn into Chunky Yarn with Stephen West’ on the Knit Stars channel. He shows how to triple the yarn strands as you go. It’s genius!

[@emilybuffin5492]

Jenna, I love your videos! Your content is exactly what I need to get me through the challenges of life. Your humor and willingness to try new things and make mistakes is so incredibly refreshing. Thank you for everything you do. I hope you share a pattern for this sweater, as it is exactly what I want to make! 😊

[@cracie_gracie]

I'm super into crochet and haven't tried knitting, but you really make me want to try and knit something❤️

[@TheSewingCircle-LesleyRosas]

I need this pattern. I hope it turns out. I'm totally loving you, Jenna!! I needed these smiles! I'm watching and eating candy corn for supper, cause Jenna said I can!

[@katywest]

I'm a knitter who recently started sewing, so I have the opposite problem that you do - I keep calling my thread "yarn" 🤣

[@denisiojoy]

Here in NZ the mostly UK knitting patterns start raglan from the bottom up using separate needles & circular only for the neck. When adjusting for diffrrent weight wools I find separate needles much easier to work with & check correct sizing as you go. Love your videos Jenna. This one was too funny❤

[@Lazydaisy646]

Im from NZ and could only find top down. Twas a disaster

[@denisiojoy]

@sillysewer Really! Must have been US patterns. I never use those as I can't understand their sizing. UK easier as metric like us.

[@ayeshakhan6582]

Woohoooo new vid is here !!!!

[@ayeshakhan6582]

@Click_Profile._for_.more._info I hate bots so muchhh

[@mirunaradoi3607]

You are the best youtuber ever You are funny, pretty, cute and very talented I love crocheting and watching your videos❤❤❤😊😊

[@wronggeometry]

The music at the end was very cute

[@lunahmarie4867]

This video screams adhd to me.. in the best way..❤ my brain is happy now..

[@smallfootprint2961]

Nice to see that even you make mistakes sometimes. Thanks for keeping them in the video. It was worth it to rip it back. It's looking good. Your videos are helping me recover from a broken hip. Thanks for posting. Yes. You deserve your own camera. So exciting.

[@Odeszafaith]

We need a pattern! 🤩

[@baileyanderson1323]

Agreed!!

[@GentlethemJoey]

Raglan sweaters are pretty easy to wing, it’s a matter of measuring mainly. I saw a video on KZbin once that was just the construction basics and placing your increases etc and I feel like once you learn all of that, you can make it work in whatever stitch pattern you want.

[@kathleenruiz2665]

Your personality is like my granddaughter’s almost to the tee. All I have to do is watch your videos when I’m missing her goofinesses. The question is, can you raise both eyebrows alternately ?😂

[@DomOfAllTrades]

I spent a million hours knitting a top and realized (once I had finished it!!!) that it's double the size I need. Which explains why it took so long... Watching you frog this is giving me the push I need to remake mine! And to also try it on as I go hahah.

[@caylarivera2804]

It took me like 3 months to finish my latest halloween sweater, so I commend you on trying to speed run your knits lol. Sweaters be taking a hella long time to make by hand. Also I can't believe there's no pattern for a chunky raglan top down sweater, thats crazy! I think i used a youtube video tutorial to figure out my first one, which was my very first whole sweater. The colors in this are gorgeously vibrantand so you!

[@brendaclark5216]

Thank you Jenna, enjoy watching your videos. It so real, knitting and crocheting you work rows and then it happens it’s not right and you frog parts. However in the end when completed I’m sure your creativity will shine ✨. 🥰

[@isalvacaoclaro]

😢😢😢😢😢 i would watch a whole hour of this. Can't wait for next week! And now I want to leave all my crochet wips and pick up the knitting needles 😅

[@tammykeighery8162]

Im a left handed knitter, and the first item I made was a raglan cardigan, followed by raglan jumper and it's still my go to. I was really surprised when other Knitter's were like 'hey you are working top down? That's weird!'. It was all I knew!! Much quicker to knit raglan than straight and sew!

[@Lazydaisy646]

I started a top down sweater three months ago. It had a gorgeous lacy pattern down the front, if you have to unpick ( which I did) you have to unpick THE WHOLE GARMENT. Its now got a cable down the front

[@katereed4740]

I love how it’s coming along! I’m knitting my first raglan sweater as well and I’m just going with the flow for it. It all comes together in the end

[@karentzn]

Jenna you have made my day. Thank you so much for your wonderful character, gorgeous dogs and creativity that you share with us. I so look forward to them. Sometimes wish they were daily.

[@okami7amaterasu]

Every autumn you have another dream sweater, I bet they look really cute together.

[@erinbooth9111]

You kept me crackin up, as always! Looking forward to part 2 ❤

[@alyssamann5461]

Your chaotic nature drives me crazy but your projects always turn out so well lol

[@satira2087]

Grading patterns can be tricky i have a soreadsheet and still triple check my numbers to make aure each size is correct. Great job!! I love it.

[@ASquareGranny]

Editing Jenna was ON POINT! 😉🫶🏻🧶

[@atomicalice0]

Love the colors you chose!!!! Excited to see the finished product!

[@crowzsatan]

"Are these baby?" Is also me when picking knitting needles 😂

[@jenrosebp]

your couch looks so comfy!!! I want one like it so bad

[@alanaandrade7321]

Love the edits so funny. You’re my favorite comfort KZbinr I watch before bed and you put me to sleep (in the best way) every time!! ❤❤

[@kierakasparian6565]

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 🎃👻

[@janicem4382]

I love your work. I have a suggestion for you, when a person does a lot of work looking down it helps to put a cushion on your lap to bring your work a little closer. My neck is destroyed because I looked down for my work for thirty years. I hope this helps❤️

[@sillygoofy1893]

i absolutely love the energy in your videos. it inspires me so much. i’ve been really wanting to knit a raglan sweater for a while but the math had seemed a little daunting, but i think i’m gonna try to tackle it now!

[@ClurTaylor]

Jenna you should look into adding German short rows at the back of your sweater, otherwise you get issues where the neck becomes too high in the front and too low in the back. You can also see part of the issue when you turned side on whilst wearing it and the front hangs down much further than the back. They’re way easier to do than people realise and so worth it!

[@miaochs7716]

Jenna. Live and learn. Enjoy watching you and your adventures in creating

[@Mr.Bo.jangles]

I wasn't feeling it in the first two colors, but the further you went......oh. my. Goodness! So darn (haha pun) cute! Super sad you had to rip, but keep your faith. This sweater will be amazing and one you'll have for years ❤❤❤❤❤

[@baileyanderson1323]

Hey!!! I had the same problem of not trying my sweater on soon enough either 😂

[@d.d.d.a.a.a.n.n.n]

I knit raglans bottom up because its easier to check the fit

[@KeshKe]

gotta love the powerpoint transitions

[@monicak410]

There are a series of books by Ann Budd that provide sweater recipes with all the calculations you need for whatever yarn you want to use. I like "The knitter's Handy book of Top Down Sweaters- basic designs in multiple sizes and gauges". Love your videos!

[@21scanning]

Such a pretty design! Well done for self drafting! It reminds me of the Kelowna Sweater by Tara Lynn-Morrison, one of my first ever projects!

[@laurarogers4305]

I looooovr the Edna sweater from wool and the gang!!!! I’ve made it like 4 times lol

[@SpacyMidnight]

I like chunky sweater. Especially raglan!

[@amyelizabeth9088]

I don't know about ya'll, but it brings me so much JOY when I see extra footage of 🐶 BENSON 🐶... 🫶🏻💋🫶🏻 #love

[@rebekajirsak]

You’re making the world a better place with all your passion and creativity ❤️ love your new sweater!

[@maya-gur695]

I love chunky sweaters! I adore you for making your own clothes.

[@sparrowdanielsdottir5888]

You look so cozy in the sunshine with sunglasses!

[@vvicky-p]

I love the way you use colours! I also love the grey sweater, if you see this please let me know where it's from :)

[@knittingnana2939]

It's ok for it to be big. It's a chunky sweater, the expectation is that you're going to layer under it. Trust me, it's fine. Especially with ribbing at the bottom.

[@amandahigbee9702]

Slaying as usual

[@JackieWright-ei6et]

a new vid YAY!!!😍🥰

[@christinamann3640]

Your fur babies are just so precious and adorable 🥰

[@petitepatate2222]

This video is getting dangerously close to the amount of chaos and insanity of a Brian David Gilbert video. And I mean this as a great compliment!

[@michete]

Bless you for posting a video lol currently recovering from aspirated pneumonia at home and definitely needed a video to cheer me up. You're doing great on the sweater!

[@misadventurers7671]

The amount of times I've watched a tutorial, read a pattern that says "this pattern requires a long tail cast on" NO ONE TOLD ME WHY. FOR THE STRETCH. IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE.

[@bekdinning4542]

"the anything raglan" by Made in the Moment is a really good pattern & tutorial

[@Kri_Pea]

i absolutely love watching your videos! you give me so much motivation and inspiration jenna!

[@amyking2597]

Fantastic! I love knitting sweaters, they are so much fun. Thank you for sharing. See you next week. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@helenmears6178]

I don't knit, I've never knitted but I love your channel. I do make off loom beaded jewellery & my dog (she's a mini dachshund jack Russell cross, she's Penny)sits in her bed at my feet quietly (kinda) snoring. Sending hugs from a stormy & very wet England xx

[@sundog3150]

The KZbin guy, The crochet crowd, has a really cool snowflake pattern that would look cute on a sweater or afghan. Thought of you when I saw it. I could see you even making snowflakes for your windows. Lol

[@dhp5789]

These vids are my supply of anti-anxiety meds. thank you, Jenna!

[@Siennaflower]

I'm making my first raglan sweater too! It's a V-neck granny crochet sweater. ❤

[@baileycrawford]

i commented on your last video that i wanted to see you try raglan. im so stoked that you did it. im just going to tell myself it was because of my comment. lol

[@McKenzieIdeality]

The video edits were chefs kiss

[@saralarsen7290]

if you want a chunky raglan sweater recipe, then you should look at either Hobbii's recipes (like the Bobby sweater) or PetiteKnit (the Louisiana is really nice - was my first sweater) 😌

[@Muminalfurinn]

In Icelandic we have a word for that kind of weather, it's "gluggaveður" (window weather). It looks super nice out the window but soon as you get out it's not nice at all 😅

[@bridgettebollig2649]

The sunglasses in the house. In The House!! I love Jenna ❤

[@smarterthanawaffle]

omg how much chaotic fun can one person have? ( a lot apparently)

[@lucillecaradec227]

Hi Jenna, love the video! For anyone out there, there is a free pattern for a raglan sweater made with aran/chunky yarn (I believe the recommended needle size is 7mm) by two of wands, called the winter league sweater :) I have not made it yet but it is on my list of projects, it is the chunky version of her autumn league sweater which I made last year and got a ton of compliments on

[@galileestevens]

I don't think I've ever been this early lol I love your videos!!

[@ellaaaa2196]

where's the beige sweater from? love it😍

[@LarissaDawn]

Jenna, we would absolutely sit through longer videos! ❤

[@AnjelynRoberts]

hmmmm I can crochet....might have to learn to knit too for this!

[@izzibelliee]

never change queen

[@Em.111.]

I like how the mental decline after having to frog that whole part of the body is reflected in the editing haha - also can’t wait to see it the sweater is looking great so far!

[@nancyk777]

I didn't think the video was too long at all, I loved it! You always manage to brighten my days with your content. Just one ask, please. I really miss your thrifting videos, hopefully there will be one soon?

[@lf100]

voting for longer vids plzzzz love u

[@alise4377]

I'm literally obsessed with your videos

[@Eli-vj2wc]

Girl that sandwich…!❤

[@user-dv1ho2jk9h]

I love the colors!!!:) Where do you get your tags from?!

[@anjak.8183]

Thank you for showing us the process like this ☺️ i love it

[@Allymai_]

I'd love it if you talked more about the equipment you use to film! My microphone hates me, so I've been trying to do all the research, but the internet is confusing. 😂 I'd also love it if you released the sweater pattern! I've been looking for one like it and you're right! They just don't exist!

[@angbuss]

yess one for the knitters! cannot wait for the pattern

[@debbieharman1160]

Nooooooo ,got to wait again ,can't bare it,lol Great vlog Jenna 🐑🙂🌸

[@spiritwaterwolf]

raglan sectioning/proportioning I use is 20% each sleeve, 30% front, 30% back

[@pepitapulgarcita5051]

I love crochet and you make me laugh. How much can I ask for!!! Love your videos. With love from Madrid ❤

[@abbyjustice9636]

Kara’s knit eng makes a lot of chunky knitting patterns that I think would be your style! she has a KZbin channel

[@alexandranagy8450]

You're so talented!😊
