Knitting my Dream Top-Down Cardigan - A summer-long journey!

[@knackfulknitter]

Thank you for taking me on your journey of your dream top-down cardigan. It turned out perfect. 💕

[@StacyBernard-xd4uv]

What???? You wound that ball just using your arms/hands??? That is some talent!!! AW! Hi Rita!!! Hi Kate!!!

[@lissahenderson3408]

The sweater is so beautiful and it looks so good on you! Rita is so pretty.

This video has inspired me to dig out a cardigan that my Mom has made 40 years ago for herself. She has been gone for 30 years now. She was so proud of it, but at the time I didn't give her the credit she deserved.

Wonderful Job, it looks fabulous on your x

[@judygiesbrecht8297]

Beautiful cardigan. Over the years I have put so many things “in a safe place”, never to be seen again. Just think of how exciting it will be to find all our treasures when we remember where the safe place is.

[@sandramarshall7712]

Lovely sweater Kate! Very becoming. I've been knitting on my own sweater (top down) while I watch your video. Thank you for sharing.

[@suzibaker1749]

Oh my gosh your cardigan is just beautiful. Isn’t it magic how skeins of yarn can become something wonderful?🧶🥰

[@meatdog]

So funny, that's how Arne makes his yarn balls from a skein. I never saw that method until a few days ago on their channel. Im knitting a dog sweater for my new puppy for winter. ❤

[@phyllisogis129]

Oh my goodness, absolutely LOVE your Appledore yarn! Wonderful choice. I must get the pattern. Learned so much from this video. Thank you 💐

[@maryb1342]

Just simply gorgeous, Kate. I'd love to make that to🎉

[@dckroyer4451]

Kate, you did a wonderful job on the cardigan, and it looks lovely on you! Your hint on how to do a stretchy casting off was so much appreciated! Love, Mavis.

[@elainecoull7237]

Your cardi is lovely Kate. I laughed at your pearls of wisdom. If I want a cardigan that buttons up I'll wear a jumper. Can everyone sitting on the lime green sofa please stand up and search under their cushion for Kates buttons.

[@amelia13131]

All the cameos from Rita the cat were so adorable ❤

[@tammyschniers569]

What a beautiful cardigan!! Great job Kate!!

[@molamola7093]

How lovely to have a knitting video. I’ve been cheating on knitting with quilting for a few years and this has made me want to get the needles out again!

[@carolcollinson8245]

Cardigan looks fabulous

[@jackywhitehead8987]

So good to see your beautiful cat again

[@veitchp]

As a knitter, I really enjoyed this episode. What a gorgeous yarn and sweater you made from it. Your sweater looks lightweight yet warm and cozy. The yarn looks soft and the colors are beautiful. Thank you for taking us through the seasons as you knit it, Enjoy your beautiful sweater.!

[@martibrown2993]

How very talented you are, I envy you. I look forward to All your videos so much. Thank for each.

[@sharonspencer6486]

What a beautiful job you did on your sweater. 😊❤

[@lizadams7662]

I really like this concept of seeing at intervals how a project went. I hope this happens more, too.

[@dianesigren8220]

I completely agree. I'm a quilter wanna-be-knitter. Seeing the process broken done was helpful. Kate you are wonderful!

[@newmoonjlp]

I believe that's Jeny's Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off. Beautiful yarn!

[@albanachknitter]

Very nice, Kate. Knitting is a lovely slow craft.

[@margotnorris5563]

what a beautiful sweater you've made! enjoyed the video so much!!

[@christelgrimmer4478]

Both my grandmas were knitters. My dad's mum taught me how to knit and crochet . She lived with us and my job was to either hold the skeins of yarn( bought at our local mill) so she could make a ball of wool, later on it was my job to roll a skein into a ball by dropping the skein over the back of an armchair. It took a while to learn to make a nice even ball. I still have most of her old knitting needles and old crochet hooks, along with a lot if old fancy looking buttons, especially the mother of pearl buttons. Wish I would be able to go to a mill to select yarn. However I am able to buy directly on line, but it is not the same. I like to touch and feel.

[@SuzySunshine]

Gorgeous cardi! I really love the different hues of colour in the yarn. Great choice. I haven't knit in 30 years, but I may have just been inspired to dig out my knitting needles. 🧶Bernadette

[@bettypitts-e8c]

The sweater is so pretty and looks very warm. I truly enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@claudiawarren6053]

This is beautiful! I love the subtleness of all the colors. I wish I could learn how to knit; I do some crocheting though. Thank you for sharing Kate!

[@traderkj]

Beautiful sweater Kate! You are always an inspiration to me!

[@phh1789]

[@elizabethsawyer5906]

Lovely colours in the wool and the cardigan is beautiful! Well done Kate💕

[@Dranma51]

Watching you knit this beautiful cardigan makes me want to learn to knit!

[@deliacoetzee5702]

Nicely done 🎉 greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@maryanneanderson8902]

I love how the cardigan turned out . Bravo Kate 🎉

[@jackihinshaw6234]

Kate, that was so much fun!! I love to knit, and have made great friends over the years at the knit shop I go to...there's a long table where we all sit and knit, talk, commiserate over our knitting and life's problems! Thank you for sharing your cardigan adventures with us. I love your comfy chair and warm fire! Jacki Knight Upper East Tennessee, USA.

[@robertacaruthers7568]

Beautiful. Lovely color. I've never seen a triangular shoulder application. Interesting. Thank you for this journey❤.

[@LauraSmith-js9bq]

Beautiful oh I so wish I could knit. You do beautiful work. My aunt could knit but wouldn’t teach me or a cousin. She knitted the “ European “ way. Quoting her. She too did beautiful work. You are blessed….. thank you for sharing❣️

[@Nancy_S68]

Love the sweater! Even without buttons it looks great!

[@suzannetaylor6382]

Thank you for sharing Cat Rita and your beautiful flowers ❤️

[@Deechrisman]

What a sweet card of yarn samples with names.

[@dixieross2784]

I love your sweater. You dif such a good job on it. I've never made anything like a sweater, but my mom used to make sweaters. They do take quite a bit of time, but the results are worth all the work and the waiting. I do love the color you chose.

[@Silchu_]

Lovely cardigan! Well done! 🥰🥰

[@adrianatorriggino61]

Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for share all your activities

[@SandtoSea-3]

Wonderful job, Kate. I don't knit, but I do crochet. I am making a jumper as I watch you through your project. Thanks for keeping me going. ❤

[@moniquevanheck9457]

Beautiful cardigan Kate! i also have many save places!

[@SurinderKaur-fe1fk]

Beautiful cardigan, always learn something new from your videos, thank you ❤

[@jacquelinegonzalezmahr5301]

Kate it’s so you. It looks fantastic. I hope the buttons reveal themselves soon because buttons are my favorite thing about cardigans. I have plenty enough spun wool for two cardigans. I haven’t found the right series though. I too am remarkably produce when I combine TV and knitting. Huge hugs!

[@JennyGunston-uh5og]

I’m also a member of John Arbon’ Mill. My late husband bought me membership many years ago. I have bought a lot of tops for spinning. I have done the mill tour twice.

[@beverleygilbert8710]

I love seeing Rita, just like my long gone cat Hiccup.

[@peggyc5078]

So inspiring..thank you,

[@pennywylie8333]

Kate loved the video. Thank you for showing us the whole process and the true amount of time. Sometimes it can be discouraging how some people make it look like they make things in a week. Maybe if you only do one thing you could do that but that would be boring.Loved the color and the pattern. Who need’s buttons

[@ellenkennedy796]

This was absolutely lovely to watch Kate ❤

[@charlotteferrara57]

I simply love your cardigan! It looks very soft.

[@lindalosinski2210]

Love your ca4digan!

[@brendabeane6498]

What a beautiful cardigan!

[@stefwild3322]

It is a lovely and cozy looking cardigan. Great job!

[@victoriaratajeski6843]

Your sweater is lovely. I love all of those muted colors in the yarn. Cat Rita loves to help you craft. She is such a beautiful cat!

[@dh7217]

Looks so lovely, cozy and soft❤ It fits you very well, too. And high time you did something for your own comfort. 😊

[@marlena916]

love it, you are such an inspiration Kate x

[@beverleysimmons8080]

Beautiful cat very pretty colors on her

[@StacyBernard-xd4uv]

Oh that is gorgeous yarn!!!

[@CourtneyKerns]

Beautiful

[@Auntie7024]

Hello Kate and Anna (if you are filming). I love all the colors in the yarn. It's quite beautiful. I love seeing cat Rita squeezed into her little box for a nice nap. Your cardigan turned out fabulously. Lovely job! ❤ Have a great weekend. Take care.

[@maritaranda7782]

Absolutely Gorgeous🤩😍

[@victoriapowell404]

I really admire you Kate. You are so awesome! I could never knit a sweater.

[@kellyjacques2558]

Love the cardigan and I love your open and honest approach to everything it is very refreshing 😊

[@AnneWiley-vp5rj]

Yes, I noticed the beautiful and striking coloring on Rita’s head :)

[@beth12svist]

Yes! I've long thought Cat Rita was very pretty.

[@msplum3306]

Bravo! Excellent video ❤

[@knittingnana2939]

Nice to sit in the sun and knit. I always knit both sleeves at the same time, it allows any shaping of the sleeves to be done simultaneously ( no having to try to remember what you did previously) and when youre done with them, youre done. Btw, i think thats called an italian bind off, also i love the yarn youre using.

[@quiltinggurlquiltgal]

Oh my gosh, your flowers are gorgeous !

[@maralee3329]

I like pink too! A dusty pale rose is my favorite.

[@groemer9913]

Beautiful, love the wool and pattern ❤

[@BettyKoehler-zg5sv]

Your cardigan turned out beautifully, Kate! Very attractive! I had to chuckle when you said you couldn’t find your buttons…so relatable!! This was a fun informative video! Thank you! Enjoy your Fall! Love from Pennsylvania 💕🌷🐻

[@margaretmcgregor5686]
