A pattern for the "Don't Look Up" pullover exists in Ravelry. The pattern is titled "Dibiasky" by Claire McLean. It is a free Ravelry download.

I have the same feeling about free motion quilting, but I learned about using rulers while quilting and that makes such a difference!It does take a little getting used to I follow Angela Walters' tutorials in general, but specifically on dot to dot quilting and I love it! I only use the little ruler to quilt straight lines, but with her advice and examples, it is all custom quilting. It looks really pretty! For the epic MAL I would love to finish FMQing some languishing quilttops. They are pretty and deserve some pretty quilting! It so happens that these are Edyta Sitars mystery quilts from past years; I made them all and she is my safe bet when it comes to QAL mysteries. She will host a new one soon, I saw on Instagram. Previous years she started them on Mothers Day, so I'd better finish quilting soon!

I think about this sweater all the time! I am so glad you are finishing it up. It's so good!

Love your small quilt. I really enjoy the smaller quilts to decorate my craft space. They are less time consuming and a great way to practice with quilting. Love where you put it. The Simple Whatnots quilts look like fun! Lots of piecing! YOu did a great job with fabric selections.

It never fails to astound me how colors such as Persimmon and bright pink look good together - but they DO! 🤷🏼‍♀️ Good work on that sweater - huge though it may be. Deconstructing/reconstructing - it wouldn’t even occur to me to try it. You’re an adventurous soul Kristen.❤

I love your creativity! Even in your phraseology… free motion quilting is like the Wild West is so great😆

The unreasonable frustration I felt when you put the look up sweater away….. love the yellow color in it. Was afraid you would frog it if you got tired of it. So happy to see that sweater… 🎉 if it doesn’t fit, gift to your niece.

I was going to suggest to make 4 of your midnight quilts put together next minute it was finished. Love your colours. I started quilting when there were only fat quarter pre cuts so can proudly say I have never bought a layer cake or charm squares and only half a jelly roll. Still have a huge stash.

So glad to see the Don't Look Up sweater back on the podcast! It could be amazing steeked and turned into a jacket cardigan throw it over type thing.

Ah! That's a great idea.

Hi Kristen, I am knitting the Kismet sweater and wanted to thank you for the tutorial on stranded colorwork continental style. The technique of how you hold your yarn was just what I needed. My tension is so much better!! The Kismet is a challenge but love the pattern and it is so addictive. Thanks again!

@Voolenvine 8 ай бұрын

Yay! I'm so happy you found that tutorial helpful 🤗 Kismet really is such a beautiful and fun colorwork pattern.

Love the Mini Midnight Quilt ❤ beautiful. The Don’t look up Pullover I thought you were going to put that to the Frog pile 😂 but good to see it back. I have seen many copies on Ravelry. As always love your content. Thanks for sharing. ❤ Congrats on the sell out of the Yarn packs for the KAL 🎉

@ericabeardmore8703 8 ай бұрын

Could you make more of the midnight quilt squares then connect them to make a larger quilt?

Loving the sweater recreation.

I love your mini quilt and all the others too! What is the fabric line used in your mini??

Hi Kristin, love your content! I knitted a don't look up inspired pullover last year too. It was so much fun 😊 I used the two free patterns on ravelry but tweaked it a little because my yarn was a different weight. I think the positive response comes from the association with the great film. I hope you enjoy your don't look up sweater. Thanks for the great content 🥰

@Voolenvine 8 ай бұрын

Thank you so much, Julia! It really is a fun colorwork project. I think those patterns came out the same time I started making this sweater. If I ever decide to make another version, I'll definitely be referring to those 😅

Stupid idea: leave that wall hanging where it is. It could be joined by other star-motived ones. Each one would be like a constellation or galaxy. You'd be then creating under the stars :-)

Aww, I love that idea, Karen!! 🤗

@sandylynn8688 8 ай бұрын

Heavens! (Pun intended) it’s a wonderful idea! Miniature quilts are really fun to make…..keep going, Kristin!

@selfishknitter 8 ай бұрын

Sorry that your sweater is turning out larger than you wanted, but I was really happy to see it again! I was so impressed by how quickly you jumped on recreating it after seeing it in the movie.

I am definitely multi-craftual and I love that you are too! Your quilts are just so stunning. Nice to see an old project come back to life. Oversized is a look, right?

@Voolenvine 8 ай бұрын

thank you so much, Joanne! Oversized is definitely a look that I have no problem embracing.😄

The little quilt would be a great center square.

I love your miniquilt, it is beautiful. I started taking lessons on quilting but gave up eventually. I think there is trick to make a knot 🪢 on the back and then to pul it through the middle layer of the quilt, gives secret finishing trick , maybe it is on yourtube how to hide them ends as I can’t explain it properly x

@Voolenvine 8 ай бұрын

thank you! Yes, there are all sorts of nifty techniques for finishing a quilt "properly"... when it comes to free motion quilting or using my walking foot, I do the quick and dirty method of making a few back stitches and cutting my thread 😂

There is a pattern for that sweater! it's called the PhD Candidate, though I forget the name of the designer

Hannah Mann! www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/phd-candidate There are a few versions are floating around - all probably much better sized/graded than mine 😂

Yes! Thank you! It's one of my "goal pieces" that I want to knit someday! @@Voolenvine

I've been stalking your website but clearly I'm not fast enough...will there be a fourth restock of that kit?

@helenmccarl3584 8 ай бұрын

Two hints, your quilt would look cool laying on topog a small table. And enlarging your quilt would be simple with the software program . Happy quilting. Electric Quilt. So fuun tod play with.

@Voolenvine 8 ай бұрын

Yes!! I have EQ8. So fun, indeed!! But still learning how to use it 😅

@helenmccarl3584 8 ай бұрын

Started with EQ7 in 2008, and upgraded to 8 in 2017. Definitely a learning curve, but so worth the effort. Good luck, keep using it, it does get easier.
