About the Series:
The Knitting Process is a YouTube series where I walk through the entire knitting process for a handknit sweater… every decision, every mod, every stumbling block, every bit of math!

My hope is that it will help you either start your garment knitting journey or build confidence in your skills!

Production effects will not be amazing… instead of editing and focusing on production value I will be doing unedited snippets in whatever lighting is available! 😁

Project Details:
I’ve made this before when I was a beginner sweater knitter and made all kinds of mistakes: yarn selection, sizing issues, tension issues, etc. This is my official do-over! It’s always fun to reknit a pattern.

This series is NOT an ad or sponsored in any way.
