Don't worry about the v's being upsidedown because when hand knitting depending on the patterns written for knitting bottom up or top down the v's are reversed and depending on how the yarn is twisted it can be seen but really the v's are reversible or at least to me they can look that way.😊

[@SoMagicalMichele]

Pretty much what I was going to say. :D

[@vixwootten]

I love it, it's so perfect because it's YOUR interpretation of it and it really suits you! I'm a hand knitter but I'm definitely now on the prowl for a machine 🤩

[@therealdonnawagner]

Knit fabric has both upside down and rightside up vs at the same time. The only time "direction" (up/down) matters is when you're actively knitting or when shaping is done. 😊👍👍 I just recently found your channel and I'm loving it so far! Thank you for taking the time to film and share your quirky (and I mean that in a good way) crafty journeys. ❤

i recently got my hands on an “incredible sweater machine” which is the counterpart of your bond! you’ve really inspired me to give it a go making a sweater with it after i made a beanie and a handful of socks. anyways i absolutely love your sparkly pink final product :) i keep revisiting this video to psych myself out!

[@fancydeer]

so you can knit a sweater top down or bottom up, the Vs will point different ways depending on how you knit it so it doesn't actually matter how you sewed your pieces together (they should be going the same direction but if they're not that's fine)

[@samiansley5740]

Just started and had to say, the pink sweatshirt you’re wearing in the opening is Amazing! So fun!

[@lovecara1]

Love how the Sweater turned out. Its giving me Velma vibes 💖

[@wesewpro]

its practically perfect!

[@louiselegacy9985]

So cute. It takes a while to use to knitting machine and get the panels to come out really well. I prefer to handknit, my machine is under my bed. LOL

[@ashleyo413]

You look so pretty Michelle ❤ you’re so bright and glowing in this vid

[@kassid.y]

i love knitting by hand but for certain projects that i just want done as fast as possible youre making me wanna get a machine 😂

[@michelle_jasek]

It’s a time saver! Even when i make mistakes and have to fix them, it’s still faster! Lol

[@JennCampbell]

You can use yarn and a large eye needle to duplicate stitch over those oopsies. It will fill ❤in the hole and strengthen the area.

[@kbjazzfan]

That yarn is perfect! The top is so Barbie and so 80s, I love it!

[@theminimalistninja]

The yarn you picked for this project is peeeerfect!! It turned out great! :)

[@SoMagicalMichele]

Super cute! I love the drape of knitted things. I'm not big into making crochet wearables for that reason. As has been said, no worries on the directions of the Vs.

[@lovelyxlumps]

love this vid and the sweater! Barbie would be proud ❤

[@thespooniestitcher]

It's super cute! You did a fabulous job!

[@karinapaixaoo]

I'm obsessed, this yarn is so beautiful

[@ruthjohnson8651]

Great Job on the Knitting machine.😍 Two things , do you have a tension regulator on your machine? Every different thickness yarn needs a different tension. Sometimes if the tension is too tight it makes your piece Curl ...When you take the pice off the machine, you don't have to loope each "two" pieces. All you have to do is catch the loop at the top of each stich. I would take it off the machine, than with a needle and yarn, catch the loops of each stich. Than again if your stitches are too tight it is harder to catch the loops..... I made sweaters on a Knitting machine for 24 yrs. Sometimes 15 sweaters a week. Anyway, Try on smaller pieces. That sweater looks great!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm knitting a Barbie top, too! But, you know, the regular way, so I've just passed the two month mark. I 100% have some official Barbie yarn exactly like that. I recently found my Barbie knitting loom and yarn from the 80s. I found the hot pink sparkle yarn before the rest and IMMEDIATELY knew what it was. So iconic. It's only enough for a Barbie sized outfit, though. Could the smell have come from the new spray bottle? It may not be likely that the water was in it long enough to get stinky, but worth double checking before you block something else with it.

[@adelacoburn1396]

🤩👏👏👏The sweater turned out great 💖💖, I love the whole outfit too.

[@MijnWolden]

I perfectly remember that particular fabric of barbie clothes.... I think I had a barbie with something similar, but orange.

[@kaitlynhazelett]

I get so excited when you post a video 💛

[@abaeterno]

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!!

[@bethknapp4935]

This is so freaking adorable!!!! I love the pink on you so much! Now I need to get sparkle yarn!!! 🩷🖤🩷🖤

[@michelle_jasek]

Thank you 😊🧡 this yarn was so fun to work with!

[@MaireColclough]

It looks fantastic! As for the smell...I've found that storing smelly things with sachets of baking soda seems to help leech the smell and freshen things up . At least it seems to work on my MiL's cigarette smoke :)

[@jasje18]

nice :) you like a 90s mother :D or 90s big sister, and the sweater suits your. i wanna make also a pink sweather but its not my colour

[@jacquieskipper4907]

So cute. I can't stand it!

[@emiliebritton962]

You did good!

[@mia-mariejuhljrgensen9684]

Love it ✨

[@clairechocolate12]

LOVE IT😍😍😍😍

[@kpopandanimelover9272]

I brought the same yarn and it has a weird smell also I think it may be from the tensile or the dye that was used for the yarn

[@cranberry420]

So cute!! I really need a knitting machine but they're 500 bucks brabd new and are very rarely seen second hand!!

[@michelle_jasek]

Definitely check Facebook marketplace! I always see a few for sale on there!

[@sewcute_sewvintage]

Love it!

[@clairechocolate12]

Bob‘s Burgers reference 😍

[@bujobellel5941]

If you want to make the sleeves shorter, I believe that you can do so by scrunching them up and blocking them!!

[@NolChheangLeng-js3cn]

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@BudderBean]
