Wow you’re extremely talented! The patterns and styles you made were so intricate-makes me wanna try out knitting 🧶

[@dancingpencil2]

This video is so cozy! And also contagious - now I want to knit myself a puffy sweather! ha ha

[@Kutovakika]

It's the perfect hobby to start right now in the middle of this dark season :)

[@anavenegas1631]

I love love love ALL your knitted sweaters. You are so talented. Please keep making your videos. 👍🏻👍🏻🪡🪡🪡🪡

[@annebyers3742]

The part where you said you lose interest at the end of a project and toss it to the side is 100% me! I have ADHD and I get so hyped during 75% of the process and that last 25% kills me and by the time I done I’m over it and it doesn’t feel like an accomplishment even 🙄 which you’re right, it’s so annoying!

[@annmariebusu9924]

pick smaller projects 😁.

[@SoTangerine]

I'm the exact opposite! Starting out I think I still have sooooo much to do, I lose motivation. But when it's almost finished I can't wait to see it done

[@g-girl9867]

Same for me. It's a struggle getting to weaving in to that very last end!

[@lunavoce1]

I feel this!!!

[@sallyskogheim4230]

I also have ADHD and the same issues. I’m so tired of making hats and would like to make sweaters.

[@МаринаКостюк-ч4п]

Dear Kika, When I watched your wedding dress knitting sprint video I really felt that suspense ) and worried about the deadline haha. I didn’t know what a mature knitter you are. These earlier works really show the progress and I totally love what you’re doing now. Keep creating!

[@MartaMcCall]

You can ALWAYS adjust an existing knit, especially if you want it shorter. Simply mark a line, cut it, then pick up the stitches and bind them off, or add another rib. Easy, peasy! You can do it!! Thanks so much for letting us see your process.

[@mrshore12345]

Oh my goodness, I'm OBSESSED with your style! I love all the colours you use and the ways that you pair them! Thanks for the inspo!

[@LifeLessonsFromBooks]

As a crazy knitter myself and a lover of seamless knitting, loved loved loved your video. Happy knitting!

[@Kutovakika]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching! :)) I feel like once you get a hang of doing seamless knits, a whole new world of possibilities open :)

[@Dingle1234]

Your grandchildren, nieces and nephews will love these. Beautiful heirlooms galore!

[@steviesmith5161]

omg that sweater design and yarn colorway when you filmed the little cutaways of you knitting on your bed is so beautiful!!! i want that!!!

[@OutfitRepeater]

Holy moly, I can’t believe you made all those! They’re so cute and cozy!

[@LeaGoesGreen]

"I've calmed myself down after my wild years of knitting" haha love it. I've always been curious about your knits, the grey "chunky collar" and pink cardi with pockets are my favorites! Never been able to knit more than a straight scarf in the past but maybe I'll get back into it one of these days, because it's so hard to find THE perfect sweater in stores!

[@ninaweddletullis9606]

Some colors are really wild. I like my sweaters long so those would be ideal for me. Yours are so beautiful even if the colors are wild and way too. BRight for my taste. They look great on you.

[@nirupamasinha8957]

Seeing your knits is just as refreshing and beautiful as your photographs. I think I've found my own hobby this winter thanks to you.

[@Kutovakika]

Wonderful! I'm so glad to hear that, knitting is such a good hobby :))

[@BebelovesMacika]

Your Scottish Fold cat is so cute! I love your knits!

[@Ynnsie]

You are enchanting. And ANNOYING with your near-perfect English. I'll surely go to your Ravelry channel. Thanks for this.

[@MariaNunes-po5rc]

Hi I love to knitting, it's my favorite hobby... I started when I was very young 12 years old...and I did beautiful mainly sweaters for the whole family. I got married and I stopped knitting for so long ,that I almost forgot, all the skills of knitting. But by whatcing your videos gave me the courage to go back and start a new project. Thank you very much .

[@kayceegreer4418]

Lacy hoodie with stripes is awesome as is!

[@cristinaarisa558]

This knits are so adorable, I would love to have the time to knit, my first jumper has taken me 5 years, such a celebration when I’ve finished, sending big hugs ❤️

[@septembersonne21]

Love this video so much. Watched it when my knitting projects stopped and get so much inspired by to finished my knitting projects. Please more of this cozy, warm and heart hugging stuff. Greatings from candle light autumn in Germany 💕

[@cloudsinmyteacup8471]

I love knitting scarfs and beanies but never dared to knit any sweater coz it just felt a really big project but seeing your collection I definitely want to try knitting a whole sweater now😁❤️

[@isolairalba]

I agree entirely with you with regards to turning something you love (knitting) into a business. Hand knits not only take long to craft but the sewing up (joining of pieces) takes a long time too! I looked into the same idea - and came to the same conclusion as you. Still, now you can do it as a beloved hobby. Nice to see this part of your life Kika!

[@amaryheart.]

I found your channel a year ago because I was looking for a knitting tutorial. I have LOVED following your channel! It’s just such a beautiful corner of happy in this world ❤️

[@Kutovakika]

I'm so glad to hear that and really appreictae the support and committment :))

[@EmeseVida]

Those hats of yours are soooo pretty and unique and professional looking!

[@trixi1608]

Those are one of the most beautiful knits I have seen in my life.. 💜 I adore especially the fluffier ones in pastel colours.. 🤩I also really like your T-shirt designs - thinking about getting the one with the girl painting the 🌈..

[@lunarpurl]

All of your knits are wonderful, but the pink pocket cardigan is so beautiful! I crave to make one of my own.

[@sophynixon]

Lovely relaxing and uplifting video. Loved seeing all the knitting projects you've done, Kika! You're so talented.

[@Kutovakika]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much and happy new year! :)

[@nl2766]

What a beautiful treasure trove of great knitting!

[@rutgers9506]

What a fantastic load of softness! Gorgeous sweaters and cardigans!!

[@gloglos100]

Love the grey cardi with the yoke knitted in the other direction like a stole.

[@dinaboop]

Oooo, I love that blue cardigan with the red roses!

[@livismith5007]

Love your knits! I started off as a knitter but ultimately quit because I wasn’t really using my needles correctly and became discouraged and turned to crochet, but I’m slowly being inspired to get back into it. Also, thank you for the tip of not hanging knitwear! I made my first ever sweater in crochet and it’s so heavy, I should have known not to hang it! As soon as you added that tip I paused and snatched it off my hanger in the closet 😂 I’m gonna get a storage bin that slides under my bed to hold my handmade items from now on, thank you so much

[@kayceegreer4418]

I once had a mother in law who would bless me with sweaters on birthdays and Christmas, so my my trick was to slather my skin in lotion - I mean butter it like a biscuit (American biscuit, not a cookie), scone or bread - liberally, and then it would coat the inside of the itchy sweater and then not bother me at all. I also added a little bottle of lotion to pack in my purse in case I needed to reapply it at the neck and wrists. I have also lain my sweaters and scarves in a hot bath with liquid fabric softener and it's not a problem, even for wool, as long as you do not agitate. Just press down in the bath and leave it alone to soak, Be sure to use a generous amount, and let it soak until the water gets cool and then and depending on how much you actually did use, you might want to rinse it once in cold water by patting it down into the water - no swishing or agitation if it's actual wool - unless it says washable - and lay flat to dry on towels or rust free safety/ plastic coated wire grid. Be sure to change out the towels along the drying process and turn yer sweater over for complete drying

[@jasbenn7872]

Thank you so much for this video, I am so grateful for your show and tell. I really like knitting in the round myself, but I mainly do cardigans. Unlike you I don’t have any garments that I have unfinished. I have a couple of garments I have only worn a few times, but this has mainly been because they are in cashmere yarns and I am keeping them for best. Now that we are in winter lock down we can benefit from the comfort of our hand knits. This is especially the case for people like myself who enjoy luxury yarns.

[@beconscious578]

I love knitted in the round sweaters as I have sensory issues with seams and tags in commercially bought clothes.

[@trixi1608]

My absolute favourite knit is the pink cardigan with the hood, sooo pretty.. 🤩🤩🤩 If you should ever get tired of it, I'd gladly take it off your hands..

[@ximenaosorio9673]

ALL OF THEM ARE SO BEAUTIFUL

[@designcrumbs.studio]

Oh my goodness! How have you knotted all of those beautiful jumpers?! The detail and intricacy are amazing! You are so so talented! Gorgeous 🤍 I wish I could knit! Xxx

[@annettemonty7350]

Awwwwww I love all your knits, even the ones you think are to much colors... Very fun and it makes a statement, it’s all you!!! Fun Fun Fun..... 👏👏👏

[@Kutovakika]

That's true, the colorful ones are very personal and I loooove to wear colors. I think if the fit would be a bit more contemporary on them I'd wear them still, at least some of them maybe not the most crazy ones 😅

[@mashiloane]

All of them are just Stunning 👏🏻

[@kaylee.w6970]

I had just decided that I wanted to learn knitting yesterday! What a great video for me to start off with! 😊

[@Lorrissyoutube]

Beware, it's a deep, deep rabbit hole! But the bottom is cosy and warm!

[@PatientFarmer]

Time stamp 7:50 that pink cardi with the lace sleeves! Time stamp 21:00 that laced sweater! Love them! I feel your sadness about not realistically being able to live off making knits for people. It would be amazing if we could live off what we love! This was a fun video! Thanks for sharing all your knits!

[@lori900]

I do not know how to knit. I love your videos as I have just started following you. You do BEAUTIFUL work!!!!!!

[@pati4871]

I actually really like your first knitting project with all the colors and patterns. :)

[@chydeecrystalcovers]

These look so cozy!

[@raphaellemonvoisin6819]

Oh the cardigan at 11:30 is soooo beautiful!

[@amberficke8387]

These knits are gorgeous I had no idea you made them all!

[@joonthedragoness125]

Thank you for this video, I really enjoyed it! Could you please teach us how to knit a simple sweater?

[@ne7894]

All gorgeous!! My favourite is your hoodie with the diamond check sleeves. Please publish the pattern. Also love your crochet buttons. Love your style. ❤️

[@GlitterBug]

I’m a new knitter and this makes me so excited to keep creating!! I love your pieces!!

[@tirzxh]

me too! i’ve just started learning and knit patterns have really been intimidating me but this gave me some motivation

[@dizzyk54]

Loved seeing all of your knit!! Now I'm in the mood to cast on!....Vicki

[@gingerft.honeybees4097]

Omg you ABSOLUTELY HAVE to put the pattern of your 2020 cardigan on Ravelry! It's lovely!

[@jolieNivea]

LOVE the gray one at 14:40

[@gloglos100]

The lilac sweater you had rejected is excellent shape and fits well. Very good sweater.

[@annettefranklin158]

I truly love watching you an get inspired. You make it 🤩

[@lunavoce1]

Beautiful knits!! But your cat!!?? Squee squee ooxx 😻😻

[@lauramackay8931]

Your first cardigan is super cute!

[@shaelynomarra]

I came across your video and part way through realized that I had knitted one of your patterns! It was the grey and white Lopi feather sweater and I’m so in love with it!

[@Kutovakika]

Ah really? That’s so nice!! Thank ypu so much for trying out the pattern and so glad you enjoyed it ☺️🧶

[@shannonoliver5414]

It is so fun to see all your beautiful knits on you. 😊

[@nadine6388]

Thank you so much for sharing all your beautiful hand knits!!!! You are so talented!! I look forward to more inspiration from you!!

[@MartushkaknitsPodcast]

Oh my goodness! As an avid knitter I absolutely loved this video! I have always admired your hand knits on here and on your Instagram and so this video was particularly interesting as I love how you wear your knits! Please can we have more knitting videos!

[@Kutovakika]

I'm so glad to hear that :)) Thank you for watching :)

[@noorulnaziha5475]

You're so cute and goofy. And most importantly realistic. Love your vibe ❤️

[@hanselpollack4075]

So delightful. You are such a creative knitter. I had to decide, “Enjoy this rare young lady, but do not try to be like her.” Pick up your needles (mostly straight ones) and progress, satisfied with whatever level of craft talent you have… !” You are an Inspiration! Thank you❌🥢⭕️

[@carmelavicaria7129]

Absolutely love all your jumpers !!!

[@nadinedetain6765]

Juste discovered your channel and I'm in love with your knits, I also like your liveliness. Your Pink cable sweater is my Dream hand made masterpeace. I also like having new projects before finishing wips, this is so tempting !

[@ronilev33]

I love all your knits

[@kevintrider6941]

I love your sweaters ,your so beautiful keep on rocking in a wooly world.🙂

[@eleniathivoli9644]

How nice! Lovely work! Hand knits are pricey but are not expensive while some brands sell pricey items that are... Hope you get your mojo back although you have enough knits to last two lifetimes already!

[@JenNippsOnline]

I started following your channel because of your photography tips. I didn’t know you also knit. Your sweaters and cardigans are beautiful! I have knit a few things, but I primarily crochet. I completely agree about getting ideas for the next project as you’re finishing one. I have a notebook just for those ideas.

[@lauramackay8931]

Your knits are absolutely gorgeous

[@pamroberts4209]

Love your video and your sweaters!!! And the hanging hanger with lights. 😍 Thanks so much for sharing. Will be checking out your other vlogs and merch....😊❤️🇨🇦

[@audirene100]

Thanks for showing us. I am impressed👍

[@kristinavirka]

Oh my, your way of thinking resonates with me. I have plenty trials and errors in knitting. Beautiful work, and many different techniques used! Subscribed!

[@perlavera1308]

Love,love love them!!! I am learning to knit and you are my hero 🤗💞

[@pinkfabulous248]

I love how you jump out of those knits! 💕💕💕 they are amazing!

[@Aydeet2]

Great video, Kika...You are quite the talented person! Love all of your sweaters, especially with the long sleeves and the ones with a cropped length! Thanks for sharing!!

[@ingejustavanderhelm5208]

Kika, about the one you show at 8:19 that you wished it would be more bulging, I have an idea: weave elastic threads through the board of the cardigan. Maybe 2-3 rounds, so it will become tighter and then you can pull the board of the cardigan up to your waist and then the cardigan will be bulging. Good luck!

[@caduceus33]

How can you possibly wear all those beautiful creations? There are so many!

[@jarichjemoeshart1813]

Envious of your knitting skills. Tried knitting several times, but ended up with half finished projects and rsi. So, I stuck to crochet projects instead. But seeing this now makes me want to unravel and start over. Happy Christmas 🎄to you Kika and congratulations on your upcoming wedding 😍 👰🏻

[@woolywonders5546]

Love it! ALL are gorgeous even the first one with the crocheted flowers 😍😍😍 wish I was as productive as you! I agree about the alpaca quite possibly the softest and non itchy. What about angora rabbits?

[@Marie-op8bd]

I absolutely adore your knitting content! Thanks for sharing all of that 🌼🌸🌺

[@010aditinag8]

The unfinished projects one is soo relatable I started knitting as a school project in grade 10 and haven't finished them yet Definitely gonna take some inspiration,hope you don't mind. Love 💓

[@CurioYarnsPodcast]

I love all your knitting and I’ve waited a long time to see them all, worth the wait xxxx

[@Kutovakika]

Oh so glad to hear that :)

[@rosannalane8540]

Loved loved loved this! ❤️❤️ You've really made me want to pick up my needles again. Thank you. 🤗

[@Kutovakika]

Oh yes go for it! I'm just working on a circular needles sweater and it's been so relaxing to watch Tv and knit during the holidays :))

[@knittingandthecity]

Love your videos so much! You are an inspiration for me!

[@yollofrollo7796]

Your knits are so gorgeous! Love them. Also, I love your merch! Waiting for the oh deer blue jumper to come into stock. It’s adorable!

[@tamarapavlovic9124]

They are all so beautiful and professionally made, you did a great job👏❤️

[@Kutovakika]

Thanks so much 😊

[@matinazagkana-argy]

Aaaaaaaa my mom is knitting and she always try to learn me but i never really started putting much effort.... This triggered me to start looking for that again... Thank you so so much..!

[@rachelbreitenbucher]

You're such a skillful knitter Kika!!

[@carolstefan7662]

I just found your video and love your channel and all your knits!

[@Kutovakika]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@claudia7248]

Loved your Video so much. So much Inspiration For me. Thank you.

[@grishagarg2640]

so many!!!!!! so pretty!!!!!

[@MultiClaumi]

This was so inspiring! Thank you so much for sharing, I watched the video while knitting, heard you talking about all your projects inspired me to finish my current one and start a new one!

[@shulagh]

Knitting whilst watching this 🥰 You've reminded me I need to knit another Fluffy Feather sweater!! 🧶

[@betheltorres2550]

All of them are so pretty 😍 Gosh, you're so good!

[@triashamanna3118]

All of your knits are adorable ❤️

[@Nadine-xb4oj]

Woah your circular works are amazing 😍😍😍 want to try that!

[@sunflowersandbluewaters]

Wow what an amazing collection. I’m a beginner crocheter and your work looks so intricate. I’ve bought some round knitting needles (if that’s what you call them). Will have to check out your other videos. Thanks for sharing

[@naiyaru]

Such beautiful creations! And I love your tip about alpaca, I crochet but I don't use wool because of the ITCH! I might try alpaca and hope it works for me. Maybe try a scarf first and see if I can handle it. Your work is gorgeous, when my kids are a little bigger im also going to try my hand on knitted garments instead of crocheting them. And I'm envious on your punched H&M pillow, I waited too long and now its sold out! Gave me a urge to start punch needling myself though..

[@jenniferdezember299]

@Kutovakika What is the sweater you're wearing at 11:25? It's beautiful!

[@snowpixxie6673]

When you showed all your knits in the very beginning, I immediately liked the one at 04:41!, so I was nicely surprised to learn that it was your favourite as well. Is it difficult to knit? For a beginner, that is.
