Playing the banjolele in an epic sweater

I've done it! I've made a sweater that actually looks like a sweater! Of course, I still love the first sweater, but this new one is something I think I'd actually wear out of the house haha. Similarly to how I don't know how to read banjo tabs so I play by ear, I don't know how to read crochet patterns so I just combine a bunch of shapes together and hope it works out. Considering this was just my second attempt at a sweater, I'd say I aced it! I wont be making more sweaters in the near future though, as this sweater was much more stressful to make than I thought it would be, and I gotta get back to the shed redesign so I can give yall a tour soon!
Here's the video of me showing off the first sweater: • Playing The Banjolele ...

epic ace sweater

[@spencerhall7157]

Glad somebody else noticed!

[@nomms]

Good month for it too :p

[@patrickrobarge1276]

I like the sweater.

[@constance.mcentee]

Yes, you certainly ACEd the sweater! Love the banjolele as well!

[@Zircadraeya]

Glad to see someone made a pun with that. Absolutely needed doing 😁

[@constance.mcentee]

@@Zircadraeya Well, the pun was in the video description as well. I just picked it up and ran with it.

[@Soundguydan]

Knitting sweaters, building desks, playing banjos, cool hats, chickens, your own shed, positive and happy….who are you?! The world needs more cool people like you.

[@jeanlawson9133]

You summed up my thoughts 💬💭.... She's adorable and energetic.

[@weswolever7477]

You should do a split screen dueling banjos in dueling sweaters

[@lucygettys8761]

I don't have the patience for big projects like sweaters so anyone that can do it is *aces* in my book.

[@MJWPub]

Excellent sweater! Quick note, if you can crochet a sweater - you can change your own strings! 😅

[@sundaynightdrunk]

More people should know about this channel. It's a fun daily break from stress. You get chickens and sheds and Phoebe's playing. Always a great relief to see a new video.

[@cesspresso]

Facts!!

[@betterl8thannvr]

My GF ugly laughed at the old sweater. It's fantastic in its own special way, and we love them both.

[@ExileTheKnightsOfMaltaNow]

You put your dominant hand on your stomach and your non-dominant hand on your chest and breathe all the way out push your stomach in with your hand gently until all the air is out... then the object is to keep your ribs still until you fill your stomach with air first. Of course it's not are going into your stomach it's just your diaphragm muscle flattening out

[@charlibrown7745]

Joy cannot be ugly. I'm sure your gf was adorable in her laughter.

[@acbenepe]

The gnarly grin around 3:45 was worth the price of admission

[@johnwilkinson5425]

That's an awesome sweater, fantastic work crocheting.

[@2old4u]

You make wonderfully happy videos. The new sweater is great and the music was a joy.

[@n.proctor5917]

Young lady, you are a breath of fresh air and sunshine!

[@ManiacMediaDirector]

I like the old sweater. I hope you will wear it sometimes in movies.

[@goldilocks913]

Wonderful creativity at all levels 😂

[@muttandjeff5213]

Phoebe you always NEED more Banjos !😳🤣😇🪕

[@billywalker998]

Save it, you now have a sweater of many colors like Dolly's coat. You are on your way, Phoebeworld 🎉😊

[@michaelsommers2356]

Banjoleles can be dangerous. In the novel _Thank You, Jeeves,_ Jeeves quits when Bertie won't stop playing his banjolele. So, be careful. Especially if you have a gentleman's gentleman, which I guess you don't, since you aren't a gentleman.

[@KelleyParton]

Dr Phoebe, Was having a terrible start to my day, but you brightened my spirits! I love your sweater and banjalini playing!!

[@piguy3point14]

The Doctor is IN!

[@stevenboyd593]

Good to see you boat necked, banjoleled, and bein in the banjo shed. Blessings and Shalom in Him

[@spencerhall7157]

One of the best things about your videos is how you blend traditional music with a modern aesthetic. I knew I'd seen that sweater pattern before! I recommend your channel to everyone I know with any interest in folk.

[@piguy3point14]

I also love this

[@young1939]

Phoebe, I love your playing, your beautiful smile, your sense of humor, and even your "ugly" sweater. Keep entertaining us. 😇💕❤️👍

[@nealliske7700]

Thanks again for sharing your insight and dedication to your passion for life and music!

[@EugeneMoloh]

For me, every video of yours is like a breath of fresh air.☺️

[@death.by.dysphoria]

love the ace sweater, banjolele and boot mug combo (the sweater is so cool)

[@Retro6502]

As someone who's been learning to crochet these past few months, that sweater is mighty impressive! Great job!

[@cesarvidelac]

Wow, my mom used to knit professionally and also made clothing of any type. That sweater looks great! Congratulations! And great performance again! 🤗

[@paulpeters8793]

Both sweater deserves to be in movies!!!

[@johnshinn6274]

The fact that you even made the first sweater is a wonderful accomplishment. this one is wonderful! Great job! As far as talking fast, maybe you shouldn’t drink a whole boot full of coffee. The caffeine is a tremendous stimulant, but it’s really not good for you.

[@SJWoodworks]

You can restring it. Ukes are easy. Banjos, also not too bad. Make a video of you changing the strings.

[@Outland9000]

Yes please... I'm thinking about getting nylon strings for my open-back.

[@jeanmelanson448]

You go girl! Always happy to see you so happy. Thanks for the inspiration and the music!

[@Phylonyous]

You can never have too”too many banjos”!

[@Fourcornerhighway]

Massive improvement. You would win on sweater #1 but sweater #2 is a real touch of class ! ❤

[@alanbudgen2672]

You made me laugh more than normal. That's a sweater for heroes!!

[@juleswins3]

The new sweater is great! I’ll always have a sentimental attachment, though, to the first one.😁

[@reverenddream99]

GREAT job Sister✝️❤️🙏🏼👏👏👏

[@zdoublins]

Always get a boost when I watch! You always bring a smile to the room! Keep up the great work!

[@d.randal.h]

The sweater is awesome and goes great with the hat. Your videos are always such a pleasing mixture of colors.

[@katb1922]

Crocheting is hard. I’m so impressed. 👏 But nothing is as amazing as your playing. Ty for sharing your talent

[@susansanders9159]

Cute lil banjolele makes me think of a carnival. Love it!

[@thetoybonnielps]

AHHH is the sweater resembling the ace flag on purpose? :D (also its crazy how you actually managed to make the lele sound kinda plausible, i always brushed off/looked down on any ukes AHAH)

[@larrys9241]

You are a blessing of fresh air and joy . 😊

[@jamesa.rodriguez8598]

"ITS A SWEATER!" Nice sweater. It's flattering.

[@Luudite]

The sweater - fantastic! Banjolele - fantastic! Alles wunderbar!

[@robinmcclain7943]

You did a marvelous job on your new sweater!!! Can’t wait to see what your next project will be.

[@timothymorgereth1438]

Try watching George Formby from the UK when you're in a banjolele mood... When you think of 4 string tenor, read up on Eddie Condon and of course the one and only Eddie Peabody for virtuosity. ❤ You're wonderful, keep up your curiosity. ❤

[@USRA1971]

Phoeb my sweet girl you are truly one of a kind. Your chirpy spirit is cheery and infectous. Your sweater is awesome.

[@carlericvonkleistiii2188]

That sweater came out very nicely done! The design is cool, what with the color in the sleeves matching the body. The colors are pleasant, too. You did a good job!

[@coleensmith3544]

I am a knitter, spinner and all round crafter, I applaud your lovely sweater. Keep after it, you can do anything you set your mind to. And the old ugly learning model sweater truly has a life of it's own

[@ruthdameron4498]

My banjo ukelele used to belong to my mother. It is 100 years old. It has a solid maple back and is unbelievably LOUD. Original head. I love it.

[@anthonytripp2251]

I am amazed by your technique. And i loved your "out of tune" sound, which sounded perfectly in tune to me. You look beautiful in the sweater, but you'd be beautiful in a burlap sack

[@cesspresso]

You’re happy with the sweater. I’m happy with you! What a great person you are, Phoebe.

[@yeoldfart8762]

My phone woke me up this morning for the second time with a low blood sugar warning. This put me in a much better frame of mind. Thank you kindly.

[@thefool00]

You're an old soul, Phoebe. :) It's so refreshing. You give me hope for your generation, haha.

[@PatchTownBanjoist]

Passable Sweater would be a great band name.

[@danlafollette2457]

That's very nice! Great job!

[@beararms6945]

Glad to see I'm not the only banjolele addict 😂

[@lisashelleybutterfly]

definitely aced it phoebe! love it!

[@Magpie7070]

The 'weird' sweater, well, it has a style all its own. The new sweater, awsome! It looks very nice on you.

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

Nothing wrong with your sweater. It does look good. Next up...a banjolin!

[@KenneyCmusic]

I love banjoleles! I play clawhammer ukulele too. Uke tuning is GCEA, and if you drop the A to G its an open C, and the fingerings are same as banjo. Then you can bring the E string up to F to make sawmill tuning, and then the G down to F also to make a double C like tuning! I'm sure theres more! So many possibilties.

[@annwithaplan9766]

Cute top. Good job. I do a lot of crocheting and knitting and try to do most things without having to piece things together. Good choice of colors, too.

[@enidsnarb]

Cool banjo tuning on the banjelele ! Bring it by the Folk Wednesday thru Saturday 10 till 3 and I will make that string not pop out and tune them up !!! Love your show !!!

[@MrJRW1]

😂 congrats! Your sweater turned out great! 👍

[@craigmitchell8892]

the sweaters are so sick, I'd deffo rock an earth tone one! Love playing clawhammer on a banjolele, its how I learned before I could afford a full banjo. Fun video as always

[@agfpillay]

Sounds like great ukulele tuning

[@smadaf]

The colors of your sweater, of your hair and face, and of the walls of your shed really go well together!

[@smadaf]

The hat, too!

[@CrazyCuban0]

after a long day of school and work, these videos really brighten up my day. Thank you Phoebe! :-)

[@markmclane3753]

You are so much fun. I watch every one of your post since I discovered you here. Thank you !

[@mikemarak2613]

You’re stylin! Cofee in a boot and banjolele to boot! Well done Phoebe😊

[@wethreebees]

I crochet also and I am super excited for you! May you enjoy many more years of creating!❤

[@vegasrichsave]

Epic music videos, epic sweater v monster sweater 🎉 Phoebe thank you kindly for sharing! So looking forward to fretless Friday

[@420pineapple]

You're amazing Phoebe! Love your videos, energy, music, and sweaters 😆

[@daveduncan8004]

No, I think you’ve done a great job on that and it looks really good and I’m glad that you made that you are multitalented. You can do it all came to young lady keep up the good work keep that banjo going and your crochet and I also.

[@jasontuck-smith3896]

The old sweater made me lol but the new one is pretty good! Best wishes from the UK. 🇬🇧💛🇺🇸

[@paulyoung5327]

Nice sweater your talent runs deep! Great seeing and hearing you play any of your repertoire of string instruments. I really do love your banjo wall , I have one of my own, it is so nice to have them on display even if I'm the only one looking. ❤❤ Thank you for sharing, Frail on!

[@MichaelBCoats]

Great sweater, great tune, great Dr. Phoebe! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@w13rdguy]

I like both sweaters. ❤ But yeah, congrats on getting one done the "right" way 😊

[@daverow49]

The sweater looks great! Great playing on the banjolele which is a work in progress for sure. Thank you for a lovely break from the mundane world. :)

[@Yonni6502]

That is a very cool sounding instrument! I would love to hear a version of sail-away-ladies on this instrument. BTW: GREAT sweater! I could see something like that in the fall and winter being super cozy!

[@dougintothesunset]

Nice sweater/hat/banjo content . . . It's a growing niche and you are NAILING it. 🙂 Thank you for sharing.

[@drumzone5]

I like the choice of colors for your sweater and congratulations on how it turned out! It looks great on you!

[@barrywalle9207]

Your talents know no bounds!🙃

[@piguy3point14]

EPIC sweater! 🤘

[@traciemcconnell4792]

Well done! That sweater suites your hat. Thank you for the daily dose.

[@bobbychapa3179]

You play beautifully. Im currently learning banjolele and was looking for inspiration from players that played with an original experimental style.

[@7Lynno]

Impressive new sweater! Fun show tonight! As usual!

[@robertlawrance6591]

Sweet sweater that you made yourself. My mother could do that and she made me ones when I was a kid. They were great.

[@feraltweed]

I’m glad I subbed a while back. You are so inspirational and happy I can’t stop watching you. Congratulations on the sweater and the playing

[@DRRkeim1]

Epic sweater, Phoebe! Congratulations!

[@davidgilroy2472]

I've enjoyed listening to your music and following your escapades these few weeks. If you keep accumulating banjos, and hats, well "we're gonna need a bigger shed". You may be able to auction the monster sweater off for a worthy cause.

[@garyfrombelfast3521]

Now you have 2 GREAT sweaters! (and well played!)

[@hawtenslaton4307]

So cute! Good job Phoebe!

[@charlottegrace6656]

I LOVE that sweater!!! I'd wear that!!!

[@AlanBrown-yg7rl]

Beautiful sweater Phoebe, great job!

[@etheroar6312]

Miss Phoebe, one always needs at least one more banjo.

[@willythkid]

You are just too talented💕

[@PaulOfThebesMC]

A sea shanty would have suited the outfit. Fair play to you, you did a decent job on the jumper :) that's what we'd call it in Ireland.

[@sandragilbert8875]

You have a beautiful bubbly personality and you are an amazing artist I also love the new sweater well done. 🧑‍🦰🎼🇦🇺

[@wm3752]

Sweater turned out great, Phoebe....looks very nice on you- y'outta make a cpl-a matching ones for your pooches!...

[@ralphwest8156]

New sweater looks cool ' love the Banjolele old strings and all ' ...I tried the deep breath but I also coughed - avoid drinking coffee first though'
