"No wonder people work with this shit, this is amazing!" by far the best thing I have heard said today. Also thank you for this because it has motivated me to pull my flower granny square cardigan out of its wip bag and finish it.

[@colleencraige3030]

I finally learned how to make 1x1 rib look nicer recently!! because I also hate how it looks lol, but knitting through the back loop of every knit stitch gives you the really nice defined rib that you usually get on the backside of the work!

[@stephanieweaver5881]

The look on Cheyenne's face when she read the "wrap and turn" part was so nostalgic for me! I remember when I used to be terrified of doing wrap-and-turn short rows.

[@nicoswanmakes]

This is totally what its like knitting sweaters ❤ so glad you hung in there and figured it out because it turned out wonderfully! And you get to show others they can too.

[@laurapecikova3277]

Watching Pepper being such cutie and constantly loving you so hard was HEALING. Also, the sweater looks 🤌🤌🤌!

[@shirleycoonce8726]

Nope sorry,, have to disagree.. The cat was SOOOO annoying. But, I can't stomach cats.

[@blackrogueheart]

As someone who has worked with Aloft before, you can absolutely wind it into a cake, but you can also just work with it straight out of the ball. You shouldn't need to worry about the yarn snapping unless it gets hung up on something and you try to really force it. But it is an absolute dream when made up into something. Congrats on your (almost done) sweater! Honestly you've got more patience than me cause I would have bound off the edges of the sleeves and called it good by that point.

[@danielles7297]

I love the universal knitting feeling of I MADE THIS 😍

[@jennaiii]

I've been knitting my first garment too. Working on the May Flowers vest by Drops (I'm going to just cover it with embroidered flowers!). I am adoring that so many young women are embracing traditional crafts and passing them on through oral and visual medium. It's so wonderful because this is exactly what our ancestors would have done, teaching one another these skills, sitting together making things for practicality and joy. These are skills reaching back for women throughout time, connecting the hands of so many wonderful people and beautiful objects.

[@foxley29166]

a knitting vlog?? this was exactly what i needed, and your sweater is turning out divine!!

[@AnannneS]

Every single sweater you wear in this video is delightful, especially the one during the sponsor section! I can only assumed its second hand

[@cheyennebarton]

it is!!! i actually found it on depop :0\

[@AnaBela1990]

this was lovely to see and very inspiring😌 congratulations! it turned out SO beautiful

[@ohhgumdrop]

For joining yarn i like doing the knit double method! You knit 3 stitches with the old ball and the new one combined then drop the yarn tail for the old ball. its really clean and a lot easier/less messy and fiddly than other methods

[@ranzocampo]

such a comfy video to watch! love love love watching the process of the sweater! good job ✨

[@mrsmoonheaven]

congrats chey!!! your first knit sweater is looking amazing 🥹 this vlog was so nice and comfy to watch hehe

[@hebulanebula]

Way to go 🎉🧶💫 I love the color and the raglan details. So proud of you ,, 😊looks beautiful

[@springonion8124]

so happy to be knitting my first sweater in parallel

[@rebeccaelliott4261]

I really enjoyed watching you knit ❤ Amazing work!

[@m0zarts-animation]

This was such a fun video to watch, I just started knitting and I’m so excited to make my first sweater too!!!!!

[@lilchen]

It looks incredible on you! Fantastic job.

[@djsadbean]

the dark lighting is so fun 2 me bc it feels dynamic in the same way that playing animal crossing at night is a fun / new feeling vs just playing during the day :D also sleepover vibes teehee

[@maxonrylee]

When the sponsorship feels genuine and authentic and not like sales pitch, big fan. 👌 p.s proud of you.

[@CaliberDawn]

Would love if u could do an updated Procreate vid where u go over ur process and fav brushes/techniques! 🙏🏼

[@pepsibertie]

Perfect cosy video. Highlight is the cute cats and crafting

[@vivienyinnn5]

i highly recommend using lifelines when frogging back a lot of stitches it makes it a lot easier to pick up stitches and get back to knitting and prevents dropped/twisted stitches

[@cheyennebarton]

this is totally what i did!! most of time was spent making sure I was threading my lifeline correctly a few rows back ;;

[@ruthcomfort4735]

Thank you thank you frogging out and showing your mistake. It has helped me immensely.

[@lizapixie626]

Yes we love mohair and brushed alpaca silk around these parts

[@guillermodeltortle]

Ok so I found you via the homepage on your 'Silly Lil Guy juice' sticker and I am DELIGHTED to hear that persona music at the start for a knitting video. I love the persona games and having the auto dialog is just perfect for knitting while playing! I'm working on a NIghtshade Society sweater as I watch this. Happy knitting!

[@jennstns9]

Love this! I started knitting my very first sweater a week and a half ago. I’m doing the Caramel sweater by Petite Knit because I looooove a good turtleneck. The Felix is on my list to do. All the excitement and oh shit moments you’re showing in this video are exactly what happened for me too 😂😂 so happy that we are stepping up our knitting game!!

[@QueenNoTeetha151]

I could never. I just don’t seem to understand any crochet/knitting stuff! I must have some kind of dyslexia for yarn projects! That’s so cool what you made!

[@ashleighsakiewicz5635]

"I tried learning tubular, but then couldn't be bothered." MOOOOOD!!! Lol.

[@river1216]

Man I remember being TERRIFIED of short rows but feeling like a genius once I was actually able to wrap my head around it!

[@khatrenreed731]

I use the short tips for beanies and when I work on sleeves with sweaters! Hi from a fellow knitter!

[@xcherrykinsx]

what an absolutely gorgeous sweater chey !! i can't wait to see it when it's finished. i'm thinking that i'm gonna have to learn to knit because i have a v specific sweater on my mind and it apparently doesn't actually exist :'o) i suppose i could crochet it but that's just not how i've been picturing it.

[@mallorywidmark]

I’m 9 minutes into the video and it feels like Pepper is trying to take over your video hehe 🐈‍⬛💕

[@fastandadrift4858]

❤😂

[@seyvongenie]

this is so entertaining lol. i’ve never knit before, only crochet! but this makes me want to try it out lol

[@KoalaAquatics]

Just finding your channel now. I love it here ❤

[@GTaichou]

The only part of sleeve island that bothers me is picking up stitches. Otherwise I'm just excited because sleeves work up so much faster than the body - it's like the home stretch for me! (I also knit plus-sized so that may have an effect HA - the body is big rounds) Perhaps this perspective will help you on future sleeves? Excellent video journal! This was so cozy and fun to watch you learn and grow!! Give Pepper extra pets for me - they seem so sweet ♥

[@JordanLeigh]

I’m such a chicken about knitting my first sweater… you’re giving me courage.

[@ChantelleArts]

30:24 I feel like lazy me would've finished the sweater at this point because honestly, how cute does it look as a t-shirt??!! 😍😍

[@abetterjulie]

I have a great toe-up sock pattern that uses wrap and turn to do the toe and heel. It's such a neat trick!

[@cheyennebarton]

oooo cool!

[@errorwu]

Dude I watch what one of your videos and forgot to subscribe and forgot ur name like idk 8 months ago? Then couldn’t find you again and this pops up? I clicked so fast a lost my crochet hook for a good second as it fell 😂😂

[@meloncornets3034]

Great job! I need to make my first sweater. This makes me want to cast on one too.

[@Finchfarts]

omg! yay! Knitting a first sweater is pretty tedious and challenging. :D This video actually gave me flashbacks to my first sweater lol so many mistakes and tears

[@jessiebird802]

I have knit dozens and dozens of sweaters and just finally did the Felix pullover in January. I am at 5:26 of your video (short rows!), and I just want to say that between the raglan yarn overs and the short rows, I was very confused for a bit and started over three times (I finally placed markers at the turn stitches, which helped). It is an overall easy sweater, but that beginning part is juggling a lot of different things and maybe not as easy for beginners as your LYS might make it sound. But I assume you got through it, as there are 33 minutes left to the video...looking forward to finding out if you enjoyed it!

[@lightbulbnirvana]

Great work Cheyenne! I love how self satisfied you are about it. It's so contagious.We all need to send a canoe squad to save you from sleeve island! Don't give up! One way to deal with sleeves is to knit both sleeves at the same time, but you need two sets of needles to do that. Just trade off every 10th row or so. One more thing. I love the way your kitties love you too! Such a sweet relationship between the three of you. Cheers! ❤

[@cheyennebarton]

im actually almost done with my second sleeve already!!! heheheh

[@lightbulbnirvana]

@@cheyennebarton That's great! No canoes for you then! Can't wait to see to finished sweater!!!

[@nona7163]

You scarded meeeee ,i was listening to the persona soundtrack before i clicked your videooo😊

I also tried to knit my first sweater this Winter so it was fun watching you going through the same pain of figuring things out ahahah! It turned out so pretty in the end! ❤️ just a quick tip for frogging multiple rows: instead of having to undo stitches one by one, you can use a spare needle and pick the right leg of the stitches of the row you want to stop unravelling. Then you can just frog everything and it will stop when it reaches that needle and the stitches will already be secure and untwisted. Hope that makes sense but there are a few videos explaining that better ahaha it's such a game changer ✨️

[@cheyennebarton]

yes yes this is what i did!! just took AGES to make sure i was threading everything correctly

[@isaacaasi]

omg i just learned how to wrap and turn last week! i had the exact same reaction 😂

[@mystikmisfit]

so so amaze ❤

[@wellthisisembarrassing1242]

the volume at which i shouted "kitty" when i saw pepper... i have 2 cats that look just like her and also wander all over me while im trying to do things

[@QueenViolet8]

Love that Persona music 🎵 Awesome video!

[@kaltespopcorn4087]

I checked out Milanote and love it! Also how did I never know compression gloves existed 😳

[@britishrocketeer]

24:23 you're a stronger being than I, if that happened I'd just set my entire project and yarn stash on fire D:

[@maddieline4566]

...did I just hear star rail, FMA, and kniting in the same sentence? Just found your channel and I love you :)

[@Niadrawings]

I love that blue sweater you’re wearing 28:15 Btw the one you’re knitting is looking really cute

[@dropletmoth]

I love the process! but when i heard the Omori music i got so excited :)

[@KcE-in4fc]

Ok, i want that feeling, too. So now that you've made one, show us as a first time making a sweaters as a beginner. Ive made cardigans and hats and cable stuff. I was going to tell you buy short cables for sleeves. Amazon sells great, affordable sets or just one. 😊

[@kylaoverbay8337]

Regarding your interchangeable set; Knit Picks, Knitter's Pride/Knitpro, and Lykke tips and cords are all interchangeable with one another!

[@hannarchy_]

So fun!!! I’m knitting my first sweater too and when you said you can knit an inch in 20 minutes I cried into the fingering weight yarn that I am using which takes forever 😅

[@Lisa_Flowers]

i'm making three fingering weight yarn sweaters right now (two knit, one crochet), and one is in fisherman's rib which takes two rows to get the equivalent of one row in stockinette, so I FEEL you lol

[@hannarchy_]

@@Lisa_Flowers hang in there!! I just finished the yoke on mine last night and it’s looking amazing so now I’m excited again :)

[@eyejay404]

If you’re interested in venturing into knit hats, I defo recommend the Musselburgh pattern by Ysolda Teague. It’s so fun and easy! 💚

[@motive_of_the_witch2369]

Wow, it's amazing! 😍 You're so talented! I'm more crocheting girl, knitting seems to be to complex 😂

[@chronicallysoap]

you said "are you ready to learn soph" and i just sat a little stunned bcos that's my name and i was like what.

[@georgiakinder7851]

Loving the Persona 5 soundtrack throughout lol x

[@flowerinbinary]

such a cozy and warm and colourful video! i love your workplace btw and i was wondering how do you keep it so clean?

[@cheyennebarton]

i've started doing "closing tasks" at the end of every night!! and one of my closing duties is tidying up my desk, and that helps a lot with it not getting too overwhelmed!

[@joshhoman]

Pretty!

[@emmieknobloch8591]

I've been thinking about getting compression gloves for myself to help with circulation/keeping warm while crafting! What kind are yours/have they been helpful for you??

[@erinrockwell8490]

I've been knitting for 2 years and I've only ever bought knit picks interchangeable set and the case is so good I still use no signs of wear. So yeah it's a pretty good quality case not the prettiest but gets the job done

[@cheyennebarton]

oh hell yeah! yeah the color of the case isn't the prettiest but it feel super sturdy!!

[@iamanji]

I wish I could knit my first sweater again for the first time!

[@amydurani]

If you find 1x1 rib looks messy you could try 1x1 twisted rib, I think it looks neater! It’s a bit awkward to do but worth it! Also I find once you split for the sleeves, knit the sleeves first then go back and knit the body, can help avoid getting stuck on sleeve island 😅

[@cheyennebarton]

might try this on my next go-around! im almost done with my second sleeve tho hehehe

[@tahlay8382]

I have never seen a sweater knit that way before and I have knit quite a few. The way we always have knit is all the pieces - front, back, sleeves - separately and then picked up the stitches for the neck and sewn the side seams together afterwards. Seems easier to me that way as the way you are doing it seems so daunting where knitting one sleeve or the whole front or back separate from everything else is easy.

[@cheyennebarton]

honestly, I've really enjoyed the "seamless" from-the-top-down experience!! It may be a little trickier for shaping, but it's nice to be able to try on the sweater as I make, and not have to seam all the individual pieces together at the end :') Tho I definitely have some non-raglan patterns I wanna try heh

[@Sarah-tq2jx]

Many many modern sweater patterns are knit this way. Every one I own is a top-down seamless pattern. I want to try a seamed piece though!

[@alaskafeliciano6813]

Does anyone know where Chey's sweater in the intro is from? It's so cutee!!

[@Lulu-kg8cf]

18:44 where is your calendar from? It’s so cute

[@AliciaJM25]

That yarn looks incredible, I love it! I am looking forward to learn how to knit in a future because I already love crocheting. Also, your Omori T-shirt omg, where did you get it?❤

[@cheyennebarton]

their website!! if you're talking about the sweater tho, it was a part of the 2022 winter merch collection!

[@avigailborah9753]

Same compression gloves!

[@WoollyChats]

You should also look up German short rows, much easier than the traditional W&T

[@Sarah-tq2jx]

I had the exact same reaction the first time I encountered a W&T 😂

[@besupaaa]

I tried to knit again but its so hard, everything is too tight or too crooked or too saggy and I cant get the hang of it UGH why is it so haaaaaaaaaardddd. is it because i'm using plastic needles?

[@valentinaalani1814]

I was just wondering what size your ipad is that you draw on

[@llamabean529]

Also are you using gingers for your sweater? I love them. I'm also gonna need to complete my raglan before spring 🌱 comes around and it is to be worn. You are also brave to do short rows, I'm still scared.

[@Sarah-tq2jx]

They’re not easy, but they’re not hard either! They’re just mini rows! You can do it 🎉

[@probablynargles]

We share a birthday....and I think the same brain too 🤣🤣 ❤

[@iristigerlily]

I might try this for my first sweater! I love the eyelet details. Can I ask what platform you guys play D&D on? It looks a lot nicer and easier than what my group is using at the moment

[@cheyennebarton]

So after 135 hrs I beat Persona 5 Royal (a video game for those who don’t know) just last night and this AM I said let’s do something different and turned on a video about knitting then almost fell out of my seat dying each time you choose another persons song for your background music haha 😂 I guess even when something over it’s never over haha! Great music choices though and I’m glad I’m not the only knitter who is a video game person too!
