My Me-Made Knitwear + 5 Knitting Tips for Beginners! (Just in Time for the Cosy Season)

[@elizabethcook5922]

Janelle, you got the "garter" stitch and the "purl" stitch pictures wrong in the video. Not trying to give a negative comment at all, just want a real beginner knitter to not get confused. The first picture you showed as "garter" is actually a purl side of stockinette, and the second picture you showed as "purl" is actually stockinette. A "garter" stitch looks like a "purl" side but with rows a bit further from each other because there is a "knit" row in between.

[@RoseryApparel]

Oh dear now I’m really confused! 😂 I told you I wasn’t an expert! Thanks for clarifying, I’ll pin this comment to hopefully stop any further confusion x

Yarn advice from someone who used to work at a yarn store: 1. Acrylic is not as warm or breathable as wool or cotton. I personally don't like it at all. 2. If you make socks, choose yarn that's part polyester or similar, it makes the socks last longer. 75% wool 25% polyester is quite common. 3. Merino wool is really soft and mashine washable. 4. When making baby items, you should choose yarn that's not itchy, like merino wool. 5. Always buy a little extra ;)

[@RoseryApparel]

Such great tips! Thanks so much for sharing 🧡

[@deannaworm2365]

I agree with wool or cotton, but I would add that acrylic is very nice when knitting things for children that need to be washed often.

[@ainoessi]

@@deannaworm2365 Thanks for adding this, I haven't really made things for kids so I don't know a lot. :)

[@EmeseVida]

merino is only washable if it's superwash treated though:) Otherwise it isn't

[@ainoessi]

@@EmeseVida Oh yeah, I totally forgot :') We only sold superwash so I didn't even think twice when writing that. And obviously other yarns can be machine washable, I would recommend to always check from the label :)

[@SarahSullivanTV]

Just wanted to say I love your videos so much! They inspired me to buy my first sewing machine and I'm very slowly learning. I've been on the fence about taking up knitting as well and all your pieces are definitely inspiring me.

[@RoseryApparel]

Thanks so much! That really means a lot x

[@Heyitskatiekindred]

Sarah! Oh my gosh! I used to watch your cooking videos all the time! What a small world! I highly recommend picking up knitting, it’s a wonderful hobby. A chunky sweater would look great over the Rosa dress if you have Janelle’s pattern. I would be so happy to guide you along my favorite beginner sweater pattern that looks great with dresses!

[@panammaniac]

Thank you so much for sharing your knitting projects. I love seeing what is on your needles each season. I can't wait to see your newest edition when it is finished! Here are some of my tips. 1. I am a self-taught knitter (pre-youTube), I found the book, Knitting in Plain English by Maggie Righetti very helpful. She has excellent descriptions and pictures for learning the different techniques for increasing and decreasing stitches. There are other excellent books out there. 2. There are all types of stitch markers. The ones that you showed are on the large side and would typically be used to hold stitches instead of marking a place in your knitting. There are smaller markers that you place between stitches on the needle and slip them each row. You can purchase them at your local yarn or craft store. 3. Take a class at a local yarn store. Not only will you learn from the instructor, but also from the other knitters taking the class. 4. Before taking on a big project like a sweater, knit something smaller like a dish cloth or scarf. Projects like these go very quickly. 5. You can never have too many knitting needles. lol 6. Knitting is not a sprint, it is a marathon. Take your time and enjoy your art.

[@LisaAdams.75]

Great timing! Just bought my first set of circular interchangeables.... well first set of needles full stop! Only ever knitted squares, a scarf and recently, a scrunchie! Even though we are heading into summer, that works as by the time I finish a jumper, it will be winter!

[@alisonpugin3401]

And circular needles are my best discovery!

[@fathimaroshna2355]

Iam a girl from india I really love your videos is the pink jumper is a free pattern or it has money please let me know😍🤗

[@Lillyk96]

1. Always check your local thrift stores for knitting supplies, people are always donating their grandma/auntie's stash! 2. You can salvage yarn from old sweaters, which is a great way to get natural fiber yarns if you can't afford buying them new. Any damaged or poor fitting sweaters you have or find thrifting can be unraveled with a few well placed snips, saving the yarn from the landfill and your money! 3. If you find that knitting is for you invest in good needles! A set of interchangeables is expensive, but they are an investment that will save you time and money in the long run. 4. KZbin is your friend, there is a video for every knitting technique and term you will ever come across. If one person's explanation doesn't work for you, there are about a million others to choose from until you find the one that clicks!

[@RoseryApparel]

Great tips!! Thank you 🧡

[@melissarmt7330]

My daughter and I looked for donated yarns and sweaters to be deconstructed for yarn, at thrift stores every weekend.We found some beautiful yarns :)

[@Saratrooper]

It’s nice to hear that you can take upwards of 6 months to make a piece. Online it seems like I constantly see stuff like, a complicated sweater per month (or less!), and that makes me feel like I’m not fast enough to even think about attempting a sweater.

[@rosabutcher5092]

I think most of those people only knit all day... I’ve got two toddlers and I’m three years in on a cardigan...😂😅

[@Saratrooper]

@@rosabutcher5092 Lol absolutely, but I'm sure that's also the impression I give sometimes with certain projects, especially crochet stuff. I have WIPs that have a huuuuuge variety of in-progress time, I even have a basic ribbed scarf that I think I can bind off, but has been physically on the needles for nearly 10 years. 😅

[@House_of_STONE]

I knit a cardigan in a few months. I don't need to knit much faster, there's only so many cardigans and sweaters I can wear

[@TKopra]

Oh don't put pressure over how fast you are. That comes over time, after 10 years i could talk with people or watch tv at the same time and now after 20 years of knitting it takes only 1-3 weeks to make a shirt. But it took long and it was never my goal, i just love knitting and the more you do it more easier it gets. All my friends know i can knit and be present same time so i knit everywhere😂 They all say i'm the only one they wouldn't get offended knitting while talking cause i actually listen.

[@YarrowNjune]

Don't worry, normal tempo is a few months. Some people who make it for a living can finish a sweater in a week, but it's not healyhy for your wrist if you're not used to and when you count only the work hours it turned out they are just a bit faster than you.

[@nellispinelli9]

If you want to try out knitting - start with thicker yarn (aran-bulky/size3-5) and make a small project like a hat or cowl!

[@CAPTAIN_CORNETTO]

Hey.. I'm wondering how many hours does it take to make a shawl?

[@joakescarnival8303]

@@CAPTAIN_CORNETTO depends on the size. If you check out ravelry I think some of the patterns give a time estimate? I may be wrong. And it depends on the yarn size. Thicker yarn with bigger needles is faster.

[@nellispinelli9]

Yea it really depends on the patter and yarn used, some are really quick and some are very complicated

[@marilisalugo]

purl stitch you showed is actually knit stitch, garter stitch is knit stitch on RS and WS

[@nellispinelli9]

She's talking about knitting flat, so on the wrong side you have to purl whereas for garter you are knitting all the time flat 😊

[@jennywren2395]

The "purl" stitch photo you showed was actually stockinette, which uses plain/knit stitch on the front and purl stitch on the back.

[@dwlinge]

Your sweaters are gorgeous! Here are things I'd like to share from my knitting journey: 1. I highly recommend checking out Very Pink Knits and Nimble Needles for excellent knitting tutorials. 2. I learned to knit from the book Stitch N Bitch, supplemented by online resources. 3. If you are working a complex stitch pattern on a large piece like a sweater, look up how to use a "lifeline." 4. I keep a notebook in my bag and keep notes so I remember where I left off on a project. 5. To keep tension, I'm learning to knit Norwegian style, like Arne and Carlos teach on their KZbin channel. 6. Lastly, a beautiful and relaxing knitting vlog is Kammebornia Podcast. It's in Swedish with English subtitles. It's not a tutorial--it's just beautiful and calming to listen to and glance up at while knitting. (Unrelated question-- what lipstick are you wearing? It's a lovely color and suits you well).

[@RoseryApparel]

Thanks so much for sharing Danielle! It’s so interesting to read the different tips and advice everyone has picked up on their knitting journeys! I plan to add some of the many tips to the description of this video so I really appreciate you taking the time to share 😊 My lipstick is ‘velvet teddy’ by Mac x

[@clestis4591]

I've been knitting and crocheting for years. Garter stitch is fabric where you knit on both the right and wrong side. If you are knitting in the round, you would need to knit one round and purling the next round in order to get garter stitch. Stocking stitch or stockinette stitch or plain knitting is when you knit of the right side and purl on the wrong side. Reverse stockinette is when you purl on the right side and knit on the wrong side. If you are knitting in the round, you knit every round in order to archive stocking/stockinette stitch. If you are knitting stocking stitch flat, it has a habit of curling because the purl stitch (I believe) is short than the knit stitch. That is something to keep in mind. I have been crocheting longer than I have been knitting so it is a lot faster for me to knit than crochet, but I have recently finished knitting a vest in under two weeks. So It is possible to knit garments quickly. It's just something that you have to get better at over time. I have made so many mistakes in my knitting, and from what I've learned over the years is that it's not so much making a mistake, it's knowing how to fix it that matter. I've done cables and had to pick back because I've crossed them wrong earlier on. Once you know how to properly fix your mistakes, you will gain a lot more confidence in your craft. The important thing to to be patient with yourself and your learning process. Don't try to be a quick knitter. That comes with time. Work on knitting the stitches at an even tension, not twisting stitches, not putting any accidental yarn overs or accidently decreasing stitches which will mess up stitch count. KZbin has a wealth of knitting knowledge and there are tons of tutorials. I used a lot of them to help me.

Thank you! I noticed she got the stitches wrong in the video and that could be really really confusing for a new beginner trying to learn!

[@fannymaria1103]

Hi! I'm just starting to knit the first jumper you showed in the video, but I realized that every 12 stiches, 1 stich is decreased (k2tog twice= 2 stitches decreased, yfwd, k1 3 times= 3 stihes increased, sl1 k1 psso twice = 2 stitches decreased, all in all 1 stitch increased). Am I doing something wrong or have I misunderstood something in the pattern?

[@vadalma_dorka]

Hey! I’m also a lefty knitter, learned to knit myself in a way that was the most comfortable for me and I knit exactly the same way as you did in the short clip! It’s really nice to see someone else who knits in a “weird way” ❤️

[@teacheraprilrogers]

I am a certified master knitter. Not something I normally share. I also teach knitting. You did an amazing job. You should be so proud of yourself. Knitting a sweater takes time and it can be very difficult. I hate knitting sweaters. Congratulations. There are so many suggestions I could give for new knitters and others her have taken care of it so no need for me to repeat.

[@yellowbirch2498]

You need an electric fabric 'shaver' to remove the piling from your knits. I bought a Philips one on Amazon for €20. I crochet lots of garments for my kids and it's invaluable for restoring them and keeping them looking like new ❤️

[@mnoeliarc]

I second that. I’ve had one for 30 years and it’s the best thing for knits. It makes them look like new.

[@PeteJustPete]

Since you’re left handed, a right hander can face you to learn ;). I’m right handed, but knit continental and I keep trying to convert my left handed friend since I think throwing takes longer.

[@chasingthelook]

So fun to see your knits! I learned to knit and crochet at the beginning of this year and quickly fell in love with it--I've already got more handmade knits than sewing projects! (over 40 on my Ravelry!) It was actually seeing your pink sweater that made me think I could do it. So great that you're encouraging people to give knitting a try!

[@zhazhagab0r]

Another tip is that "blocking" is a hugely important part of any knitted garment made with animal fibers and some types of acrylic. Basically this means getting the piece wet and allowing it to dry while stretched and pinned to the proper measurements.

[@leelee8551]

I would have loved knitting tutorial! I’m left handed too and watching right handed people is useless for me 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@monkeyfrogsprinkles]

For total beginners I recommend Lion Brand's Wool Ease thick and quick. It's 80% acrylic and 20% wool, but it's a great starting point and its incredibly soft (in my opinion). I'm not sure if you can get it outside of the US, but it's what I started with and I really loved it. I actually still use it. I recommend starting out with a scarf using garter stitch and slowly start other projects. To get more comfortable knitting in the round and with double pointed needles, I suggest a simple beanie tutorial. They are usually found on KZbin or many of the yarn brands have free patterns on their websites. If you wanted to get more experience, I recommend beanies and making tons of them. Mistakes happen and you learn along the way. Also making beanies will help you further your knowledge of using different kinds of needles and you'll be able to make other projects like socks.

[@annebrown3538]

When you originally showed your pink Lacey jumper Janelle, that is what inspired me to start knitting again and so far I have knitted a navy blue lacey cardigan, a pale blue ribbed jumper, a chunky cream oversized cardigan and I am now knitting a beige fleck aosta jumper. It takes me a few months to knit a garment and I now love to knit in an evening or when I have a spare half hour. I’ve found it’s good therapy as it clears the mind for a short while while you concentrate 🧶x

[@RoseryApparel]

I couldn’t agree more Anne! I didn’t mention it in the video, but knitting has been soo good for my mind! Your knits sound absolutely lovely 😍

[@angelalee7012]

I recommend learning how to fixed dropped stitches as one of the first things to do when learning after basic garter stitch. It will make it less scary to make mistakes!

Just from the brief clip of you knitting I am fairly sure that's the same way I knit!

I'm right handed btw. Thanks for the video!

[@TraceyyValo]

I think making tutorials would be neat for other left-handers -- like me! I'm currently learning knitting and having to mentally switch the right hand tutorials to left is really rough :( Also I think because of all of the right-hand focused tutorials, it does cause us lefties to compensate and "knit weirdly," but if there's a way and it works, then that's fine with me :)

[@sharks2571]

Some more reccomendations for new knitters 1) circular needles are WAY nicer to use than straight needles 2) get a crochet hook the same/simmilar size to your needles. If you drop any stitches, it makes it super easy to fix mistakes. 3) very pink knits has very good KZbin tutorials for tonnes of techniques 4) stitch markers which lock are really good- they wont fall out, but they also won't get stuck in the project. 5) drops is a really cheap brand that sells all natural fibre wool, and the quality is generally quite good.

[@RoseryApparel]

[@SonoFuoriDalTempo]

I honestly find crochet like a nightmare compere to knitting. I made an hat and I was counting constantly and always forget something and have to go back and do a row again. The results is beautiful, but I said like "first and last try" 😅 I find knitting really more intuitive and easy, probably because I started with knitting. I'm vegan, so I never put myself into made sweaters or cardigans because of the difficulties on choose a yarn that's good quality, environmental friendly and appropriate for the project. I used acrilic at the beginning for some hats and scarfs, but the idea of doing a sweater with it isn't so exciting.

[@angelalee7012]

Also, I recommend beginners AVOID metal needles. Choose wood, bamboo or plastic as they have more "grip" and your yarn is less likely to slip off the needle.

Do you wash your knits per hand or in the washing machine? And how often? :) I love your knits!❤ And I'm actually knitting the pink jumper at the moment 🤗🤗

[@BruggleStar]

Another bit of advice is to start off with wooden or plastic needles. They tend to grip the yarn a little better than metal needles, which is important to help prevent dropped stitches. Also the bigger the needles/yarn the better. You'll have an easier time seeing what you're doing.

The other problem with acrylic yarn for a sweater is that it retains sweat and might make you too warm to wear ... because it's plastic it will hold on to odor. Having a yarn with wool content might help to regulate temperature, and wool is also moisture and flame resistant.
