It’s super chunky knit season and I am loving it | wips and fos | knitting vlog ep. 20

We’re back to super chunky knits and a strangely neutral palette this week. Not exactly sure why I knit with so much brown yarn but maybe I’m being influenced by New York? Or maybe I just have a limited yarn stash right now and shouldn’t read too much into it. Huge huge hack that I learned this week for the cashmere sweater at 15:49 !

Just finished a short sleeved version of your Benny sweater and love it! As for your scraps, how about weaving/crocheting /knitting a wall hanging piece? Will help decorating your room😀

[@karaskniteng]

Oooo that's a lovely idea! most of my scraps are a bit too small to do any sort of knitting with (like they're just ends) but I'll try to look into this

[@jomama7022]

I love your patterns! Just finished Drop The Game Sweater and about to start the Fashionably Lace Cardigan Lite!

[@karaskniteng]

Awww thank you so much!

[@clarabaril8082]

Don’t be hard on yourself, it’s a lot to figure out at once! It takes time to settle into a new environment 😊 we’ll keep watching even if take some time for you! Love your work ❤

[@karaskniteng]

Thank you! It's definitely taking a lot longer than I expected!

[@heatherstiara8033]

I love the oranges and fall colors. I always love them. But I never knit with them, knowing I’d never wear them. But they’re so pretty and I’m so tempted lol.

[@karaskniteng]

I know! I usually gravitate towards super bright colors when knitting and for what I wear but maybe I'll start wearing more neutrals?

I bought eye of the eyelet sweater Sunday (My birthday), I finished the sweater today (in 1 week, yay!) I literally lost sleep making this sweater lol so here I am to say: Kara is right. Don't try to make a sweater for a whole day, let alone over exert yourself - your fingers will thank you 😭😭💕 the sweater looks good tho so I find it a win.

[@karaskniteng]

Oh man I’ve lost so much sleep over knitting but I just can’t stop myself from doing it

[@saeedaalammari3207]

Hii, can you do a tutorial of how to do a guage for forking with other yarns but on the bulky yarn patterns. Im new to knitting so im a bit struggling with understanding the concept of guage and sizes.

[@karaskniteng]

Yeah I'll add it to my list!

[@saeedaalammari3207]

I loved the brown (cashmere) top to down sweater that you knitted, can i knit it as a beginner, and is there a pattern for it?

[@karaskniteng]

I'm working on a pattern now! It should be pretty beginner friendly but it will be lace knitting so probably not for absolute beginners
