knitting diaries 🧶❄️| recreating a vintage sweater & enjoying winter days ~

[@ikoxun]

Happy New Year everyone! I’m so excited for all the fun ideas I have to share for 2024. Sorry this took so long! I wanted to ask two questions! (i’ll be asking on my community tab as well) (1) I want to work on other art mediums but I’m just not sure if I should keep the new art mediums on my 2nd channel (@mijanouu) or if you’d be okay with me doing it on this channel. I was thinking this could be my art channel overall instead of strictly knit & crochet (just in case my hands need a health break) but let me know what you think! --- Would you prefer this be strictly knit/crochet/sewing & do everything else on a separate channel --- Anything is okay on this one (2) Are there any concepts/videos you’d want me to try/make more of? (:

[@MimixLizzy]

Hi ikoxun!

[@MimixLizzy]

You are literally my favorite youtuber! You crochet and knit so well! You also inspire me

[@fallxnrose7558]

More recreations from your favorite shows and stuff and more color videos :)

[@melisasarah-w2n]

HIII IKOXUN i’m a huge fan🫶🏼

[@classyvxbe]

You should try some 80s or 90s crochet

[@MoCrochet]

he's so real for saying "keeping the energy high, and the excuses low"

[@ChantelleArts]

I don't even knit but I love that you always include such clear instructions, it makes it seem less daunting ❤❤

[@TachiKilo]

Your fur baby definitely said “mommy” I heard it I swear 😭💕✨

[@ikoxun]

awww😭😭

[@visbiss]

this entire video was just such good vibes, and I love the segment when your boyfriend just popped in out of nowhere, i actually burst out laughing omg- and i love how the sweater turned out!! i kinda wanna learn how to knit just to make it lmao-

[@chillpotato_169]

OML I love your videos and aesthetic! I got into crocheting and knitting partly because of you and was inspired to crochet a cardigan!! Thx so much for the inspo :D

[@classyvxbe]

It’s always a good day when she posts💓💓

[@naya1012]

OMG!!! you're so real for that SUGA photocard as bookmark!! LOVE IT💜

[@TachiKilo]

Watching this while I crochet a beret with some freaky vintage yarn 😌💕 Thank you for uploading and sharing your life and creations with us

[@heekilem]

i've first seen your channel in a knit with me vlog(?)/video where you just knit/crochet an hour silently and honestly i would looove to see these types of videos more because i mostly watch your videos while i crochet myself so it feels like we're friends doing stuff together and i find it very cute and comfy!! already loving your video formats but if you need an idea to create more content pleeaase make more videos like that because i need videos to keep me company while i do my stuff >>.

[@melissamcginnis3674]

I’m so happy you’re going to try socks. I love making socks. I always have a pair on my needles. Can’t wait to hear how like making socks.

[@handmadebylayne]

As a new knitter (started a month ago), I've knitted 4 socks now. That was the point of learning to knit for me was socks bc I love colorful unique socks.

[@pascalepalaces]

hard agree that DPNs are hard but not the only way to knit socks!!! i'm a frequent sock knitter and love 23cm circulars (with DPNs for the heel flap)

[@fallxnrose7558]

Happy new year to my favorite crochet and knit youtuber! I remember starting to crochet and 2 years ago I was recommended your channel by a substitute teacher in my English class and I finally started crocheting last year in February 22nd! You and your content have heavily inspired me and I appreciate all the content you create! You're so talented and creative and such a good person so I just wanted to say thank you, from one crocheter to another

[@ikoxun]

you’re so sweet 😭 and that’s so cool! thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@fallxnrose7558]

​@ikoxun omg of course! Your videos give me so much joy and your voice is so calming too :)

[@tinaenisan3605]

Hello young lady, Another inspiring video. I’m 66 years old & you inspire me. Loved everything you talked about especially the reading part of it. I used to read all the times but for some reason I haven’t been able to get back into it. Now u have inspired me to give the reading another chance, also, start working on some of the designs that are floating in my head & see if I-can accomplish something. I learned how to knit when I was 7 y old but for some reason I find my self crocheting more then knitting. Happy new year. Look forward to your new blog/video ❤ Tina

[@Melstar36]

The Yarn queen posted!!

[@pumsta3002]

Omg stop this sweater is so pretty, I wish I had patience to make this😭😭 You’re so good at making things!!

[@LibbyHallActor]

AWWWW IVE ALWAYS WANTED THAT SWEATER! I love the internet, you are awesome girlie great job 🎉❤

[@ambria321]

I knew you were awesome but when I watched the car trip bit I went crazy from the music LOVEEEEEEE

[@crystaleniola]

I’m rewatching your knitting videos cus I just learnt how to knit and omg I just noticed how cute ur dog was at 0:07 petting you back 😭😭😭❤️

[@chocolatecake8089]

i almost screamed when you go six crimson cranes i just got the second book and i looove the author, especially her other series, Spin the Dawn. Hope you had an amazing holiday season and an even better new year!!

[@isabellaespinal6709]

Thanks sooo much! That was a great video and I love the sweater! Also I think it is really cool that you’re doing the book corner.

[@nonyabees]

Do you know how excited I get everytime I see that you've posted? I really love your content and creativity.

[@crystaleniola]

3:50 omg I was also thinking of doing a tapestry crochet project with this same exact graph but as a laptop sleeve !! I looove the idea of it being on a scarf ❤❤

[@aliwilson4130]

The sweater turned out so good! I like chatty videos like this one for when I am washing dishes or crocheting. I can’t stand podcasts.

[@colorsaremyfrends]

i just started the video but I think it's so funny that you are learning to knit socks because they scare you. while I am actively knitting a bunch socks in a way to avoid trying to learn a sweater because they scare me because of how big they are 😭 just goes to show to each their own. i love it!

[@elllie3630]

omg I also just bought yarn to makesocks I have been wanting to try and finally figured that this is the year. Finally the yarn was on sale as well cause its always 8.75 but today when I went it was 5 and its this really pretty blue gradient and then I will try and do colorwork socks I feel that might be too complcated seeing the designs but gonna give it a go so happy I guessed the first song

[@kristinchong629]

It makes me happy. The internet frontier the layers and its so fun. And also a lot of work. :/ But obsessed. 🎉🎉🎉

[@wesewpro]

That sweater is GORGEOUS!!! I am definitely making one for me! Thanks for sharing!

[@g.l.enchiladas]

22:08 i def get the feeling of hating the finished piece at first then loving it over time. a lot of time i get done with a piece and all the work i put into it clouds my judgement. i just see all the painful parts i didnt like process wise and dont want to look at it for a while. but after i go back to it i go "wow this is actually really cool. im so glad i made this"

[@mayacrowley6213]

Girl beloved is sooo good and i have babel on hold at my library so i hope to read it after the mortal instruments lol! Also love your knitting and crocheting videos, i’m a crocheter but i’m debating on getting into knitting!

[@ikoxun]

yayy that makes me more excited to read them ~ and you should definitely try! It's a learning curve for sure, but after time it gets easier :)

[@KarolYuuki]

I loved the sweater! It turned out so cute 🥰 I did one intarsia for a top I'm making and I can only imagine how much work it takes to make that many stars. I love that you always fun and cute things, most knitting channels I know have a more "basic" style, and I love to watch yours and see all the different things that you do and get some ideas

[@annakp9739]

Kudos to you for making the sweater instead of buying it! It turned out lovely :) Have you thought of knitting your garments seamlessly in the round? It’s a lot less fuss and you can try your garments on as you go, avoiding potential fit issues. You could do top-down, bottom-up, raglan, drop shoulder, saddle shoulder… The options are endless! 😊I also hope you’ll enjoy knitting socks, it’s one of my favourite things ever!

[@thegrimlooper]

I got that same yarn on a whim to do a 2024 temp blanket! So fun, i knew it was a good idea.

[@jadepercy4552]

I’ve been a crocheter for years and you inspired me to start knitting and I’ve already made a couple sweaters it’s so fun

[@kattletale-]

Omg I bought myself the same needle set in the colour driftwood, I LOVE wooden needles and the Lykke sets are truly beautifully made. I hope you love using them!!❤

[@hattierensberry1561]

Mexican Gothic is one of my absolute favorites!! And I haven't finished Babel yet but it definitely delivers on the hype so far. RF Kuang has such a great style. Another writer I've enjoyed that also does fiction beautifully is Isabel Ibañez if you haven't had a chance to try one of her books yet, and also T. Kingfisher!

[@ikoxun]

thank you for the recommendations!!

[@haileybeebee97]

I really enjoy your videos and project ideas. Watching you knit in previous videos made me want to try to learn again, so I finally got needles and taught myself how over the last week. I just finished my first project yesterday, which was a beanie for my nine month old. Now I’m debating if I want to try a sweater like this or not 😅

[@alyssakreutzmann4416]

I literally watch you every day while crochet/knitting and I just realized I'm not even subscribed to you lol, you're literally my favourite cozy youtuber and I can't wait to see more! Your work is amazing 🥰

[@melyserenidad6527]

I think you might be locking your floats wrong. Kristin Lehrer here on KZbin has a good tutorial from 6 years ago that shows how to easily lock floats and it won’t hurt your fingers. Also I had the same issue with weaving in ends on stockinette stitch and I found weaving in diagonally through the wrong side purl stitches was best and leaving about a 1cm (nearly half inch) end poking out from the wrong side helped keep them in place. Also unravel the end so it can’t slip out. Keep on your awesome fibre art crafting! ❤

[@CasualKnitter]

You could post a podcast every week where you speak about what are you currently knitting on, what are the struggles, what is the progress.... You have such a pleasant voice I am sure people would listen for hours! Wait you have a second channel?

[@paigeboomer]

YES DOWNTOWN YARNS! That’s my local yarn store in NYC! They are amazing!!!

[@nataliebordwell6440]

Omg please do more of these types of videos!! Also I got so excited when you started playing Bella’s lullaby

[@100akerwoods]

I learned to knit watching Crazy Sock Lady here on KZbin. I find using circulars is a lot easier, you just have to split the cast on stitches for the socks and you don’t need three needles.

[@CasualKnitter]

The frogging of the gray sweater broke my heart 😅

[@GreenNectarines]

Knitting, crocheting AND piano? God’s favorite.

[@Almita10320]

ID LET MY LUNGS CLOSE UP FOR HER HAD ME WEAK 😭😂😂😂

[@luciagonzalez165]

Hope you got a wonderful Christmas and a Happy new year. I will love to hear more about the book you read.

[@maggiemeadows27]

Pls make more knitting diaries O love them so much

[@majciasx]

Dont worry! Take your time and have breaks its totally okay! we will wait❤❤ I really love the way the sweater fits u its so pretty!!

[@charlottecaywood1099]

This video was one of my favs :) love love. Also you’re gonna love sock making! I use magic loop instead of dpns but I bet you’ll still love the process!

[@annikawallner765]

Please please please more Vlogs and talking Videos!!!! You are such an inspiration for me and I can learn so much from you, because we are such same personality types❤ Love your Content so much❤

[@Fannyfique]

It's incredible ! Well done ! You're so great !

[@MeezerGurlMakes]

You did a GREAT job on the sweater - looks amazing!

[@JuliaOvelha]

You've been a really big inspiration for me ever since a first saw your channel, tysm!! I only crochet but I think knitting looks so good!! Do you have any tips for ABSOLUTE begginers?

[@ikoxun]

i would say DEFINITELY take your time and don’t rush the process. Instead of comparing your projects to other peoples, use theirs as inspiration to motivate yourself to learn and practice more! it takes a lot of time and mistakes to learn this craft but it’s worth it so also don’t give up even when it gets incredibly frustrating. you got this 💪🏽

[@JuliaOvelha]

​@@ikoxuntysm!! I'll buy the supplies soon and start :)

[@lokllua1018]

the photocard bookmark is so real

[@kyrene.]

your bf stealing the phone is the best thing ever 😭😭

[@raspberryleaf258]

THIS IS SOSOSO COOL OMG!!!

[@clariceee333]

OMG the sweater came out STUNNING you are amazing

[@ninskisnook]

i love your videos! keep creating and i hope you realise that although lots of content is good, people also just appreciate you doing what you want and at your pace

[@junoismad]

i think that your version of the sweater turned out a lot cuter than the original! im really not a fan of the collar on the og one. on the other note, babel is an amazing book, i love the main concept so much, hope youll enjoy reading it!

[@ikoxun]

thank you!! i wasn’t sure if i wanted it up to go that high so im glad i went with my way ~ and omg i’m excited to read it!

[@CRIMSONarteries]

I got a tattoo based on Babel I loved it so much! I hope it lives up to the hype for you!

[@redxrosesss]

Happy New Year 💕 Just wanted to say I enjoy all your vlogs!

[@MirrorMirror22]

Mexican Gothic is SO goddamn good. I totally recommend.

[@zivachan7396]

i love the all the anime knit ideas!!!

[@Piphthehippie]

[@JoLynneTaylor-k7d]

[@ShrekIsLoveShrekIsLifee]

Seeing you talk about your cable knit sweater while wearing a cmiygl hoodie reminded me of the cable knit sweater that tyler wears in the wharf talk music video and im thinking about making it. Anyways love your videos ❤

[@ikoxun]

oooh you definitely should try!

[@spookiestgecko]

The way people keep so many videos coming is often because they pre-recorded some so u have the project from last week come out this week while u work on the next ❤ but u can always do more than one video back

[@endurashroom]

so many sweet moments in this video (´｡• ᵕ •｡`) ♡ and the sweater turned out so cute! i'm planning on starting my first colorwork knit sweater soon and im a lil nervous but this was definitely inspiring :)

[@tinalin7180]

Happy New Year!! Ur video is finally out! Got teased from your instagram and has been waiting since 🤩🤩🤩!

[@jesseshaftoe7899]

i really recommend murakami's book "sputnik sweetheart,' its a shorter and easier to digest book compared to his other works and may be more enjoyable for you! :)

[@CLASSICJAH]

Men without women was lovely. I've accumulated alot of his novels. I liked Kafka on the shore.

[@gingerconnoisseur7395]

I started knitting mittens and socks with double pointed needles when I first started out. Sweaters are scary! There's just too many masks and I loose count all the time :,)

[@shrimpthesimp]

happy new year!! love you sm!

[@ikoxun]

happy new year!!!

[@blakebp]

What about doing little basic tutorials? Like how to add the starts to a knitting project. Different granny squares, etc…

[@Curseddspirit]

I also recently discovered the heart cable knit from Studio Knit! I’ve been wanting to knit it into a scarf as well but your Mikasa inspired me to make my own little changes 🥹!! I can’t wait to see how yours comes out! I also wanna get into reading. Do you have any recommendations for mystery books?

[@melisasarah-w2n]

i’m so early and happy new year!!🫶🏼

[@ikoxun]

happy new year!!

[@melaninfreeflowing4248]

Love how the sweater turned out! Also love those moon earrings! 😍 Where did you get them?

[@vepsra]

I just started watching attack on titan and thought about how cool it would be to make mikasa’s scarf, so looking forward to it if you end up making it!!

[@jojojojojojojojoj]

Shaun happy new year guy's!!

[@ikoxun]

happy new year!!

[@Rvnvmpir]

Oh wow im so early, love your content 💖

[@icrochet12]

I love the sweater :)

[@Wrendymion]

I think I picked up Wild Sheep Chase ages ago and I still haven't finished it, only Murakami book I've left unfinished - no idea why I've had trouble with it! Other than just not being able to focus as well on reading anymore

[@ikoxun]

my english teacher gave the book to me in 2015 and i’m just now finishing it - i can’t figure out why i’ve had trouble with it either even after finally finishing it.

[@LauraHajdari_]

This was a cute video! ❤

[@safa2010]

Am your big fan

[@phoebebatz]

you should do mean girls next

[@Sirius_Majoris]

Happy New Year 🎊 Also spotted the Yoongi photocard 👀

DMV STAND UP 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[@Kaylemakes321]

Hi first I love all you videos 😃

[@peglamphier4745]

I think, like a lot of women, you're too hard on yourself. Your sweater is fantastic and you're perfect. Be patient with your bad self.

[@mha1250]

So crazy I was posted 5 min ago and you already have 32 likes 😮❤

[@zenearphy8964]

How can you knit so fast??? I started making a vest 6 months ago and still haven't finish the back panel 😢

[@eminajasarevic1004]

Could you give us some advice please for learning knitting ?I am crocheting around 10 years...

[@moony-_-.]

Have you recently gotten into Murakami I’m trying to read him but don’t know where to start what would you recommend?

[@Aeom_333]

Booktube channel on the side called “Ikoxun’s Corner”?

[@nikukeirandish6699]

hey I have a question about following a chart, say for example you're knitting a square with a different yarn than your main color, the way I do it, the sides end up detached form the main color and I dont know how I should fix that problem, it'd be great if you could help😊

[@justnoone3821]

To anyone watching at 9-10ish minutes ago hi hii😚✌️
