Which knit was YOUR favourite knit? Let me know in the comments 👇😃 #knitwithkika
Over the years I've knitted lots of sweaters and cardigans, and today I'm sharing my Top 10 favourite handmade knits and what I learned with each project. Hopefully, you'll get some valuable tips and insights, and maybe learn from some of my mistakes too 😅
Knitting is such a satisfying hobby, and I just love seeing how an idea for a garment in your head turns into reality, it's such a mesmerizing experience... or well, not always obviously. The amount of times things don't go to plan or you finish an entire project only to realise you should've knitted a few more rounds here, or added a bit more stitches there, is a frequent occurrence in the life of a DIYer 😆
Sometimes you nail it by accident (like I did with the fit on sweater number 3), and sometimes a brilliant idea in your head just looks a little "off" in reality (like sweater number 9).
I hope you enjoy this video and seeing My Top 10 knits! #knitwithkika
Thank you so much for watching!

Number 3 is my favorite. The color and drape of it are really appealing; that being said, they are all amazing.

I liked the yellow like mustard , shorter and larger that looked round on you, and velveteen. I like your fire place, that makes me remember home. Your cardigans in many colors are very pretty and l usually enjoy that style, since it can stay open and keeps mostly the back warm. So, l am planing to have one, too.

Kika…..They are all absolutely stunning and deserve their place from I-10. I feel in love with all of them! They are so beautiful, fit so well and you seemed to have designed the knitwear around the garment which I love so much! I must say I have learned so much and I feel I will pick up knitting again……slow but sure lol…..so look out for upcoming questions if you don’t mind? Thank you Kika, congratulations on your beautifully stunning wedding, I loved it! You and Jukki look perfect together. Thank you for always sharing your videos with such kindness 💕 🐝 Tina 🐝

Especially the yellow cardigan, the one with the diamond buttons, the Sunday Brunch, the last one, and even the striped one with the off white ribbing. Congratulations. I am so inspired by your successes since you moved in with your parents in 2020! Happy New Year Kika. Many blessings you way.:)🧶🧶🧶😺

Kika I could use some advice. I'm currently knitting the Airton sweater by Lisa Richardson. It's a Rowan pattern that I bought and downloaded. I'm making it with Jilly Dream in Color, "A Little Night Music" is the color - it's dark cobalt blue, gorgeous! The yarn is Superwash Merino Wool in a fingering weight yarn, knit on US size 3 needles. This is a swing jacket with a peter pan collar. The back has a box pleat that I've knitted once and had to pull out because it was too low on the back. I pulled out nearly 10 inches when I realized how it was going to fit. I noticed that I like the way the pleat looked in reverse more than the boxy sticking out pleat. The pattern has Fold Lines knitted in where the pleat would have folded to the outside. If I reverse the pleat, the Fold Lines will be down inside the pleat rather than trimming the edge of it. Should I reverse the pleat and like the sweater more, or make it as designed, and still like it, but maybe not as much? I'm a size 2x so it's a lot of knitting, and a lot of expensive yarn. I want to be happy with the result.

I learnt to crochet last summer from a friend and I've slowly gotten more confident, and now you've inspired me to try knitting! My grandma taught me the basics when I was younger but sadly she passed away before I could really spend time learning from her, but it's exciting to me to try and learn her favourite hobby even if she isn't around to see it :) The sunday brunch sweater looks gorgeous and might be what I try first 👀

I like them all; I don't think I could choose just one. I love color so, I like the yellow/gold fair isle and the striped cardigan ideas.

Thank you. They’re all lovely and I agree your number 1 sweater is fantastic.
