    I love the fact that you emphasize that taking your time and being careful is ok. So many people try to knit faster and get the projects done faster. This sweater is gorgeous. I wish I had the confidence and patience to do one like that. Thanks for sharing your helpful tips and tricks. Love your videos!

    I have done backer buttons but I have started putting ribbon on the back of my button band. It gives stability to the band, holds the buttons on well and looks really nice.

    Omg thank you especially for the button attaching!! I am not a sewist whatsoever, and I usually see bottoms on with yarn, but yes it does get loose over time… I will know forever do it this way! Thank you

    Great tutorials. Thanks Janna. Still knitting on body. But with your tutorials I have confidence that I will be able to complete my sweater

    Thanks for the wonderful tutorial. After a short delay, I finally completed the button band and my 1st ever cardigan is drying. I know it's summer, but I don't care - I've been wearing my cardi indoors - under AC. I started off wearing it as a pullover before steeking. I can't wait to make another cardigan. Hooray for sticky wool.

    I absolutely love this and intend to actually make this cardigan but didn’t have the time when you started the KAL…no worries! But I’m absolutely in love with that yarn! And that button attachment! OMG! How cool and easy-ish looking to do! Definitely going to incorporate that in all my button sews from now on! Fantastic job! And it looked beautiful on!

    Fabulous video! I’m just finishing the body of the Cumberland Falls Cardigan, so I will be doing my first steek soon. I learned a lot watching you do the button band and sewing on the buttons. Thank you so much ❤️

    Thank you so much for a wonderful tutorial. I was looking forward to learning a few new tricks and wasn’t disappointed. Especially loved the information on sewing on the buttons. I am just knitting the yoke to my cardigan and now looking forward to the finishing part.

    Oh dear....what did I do wrong? I cut after reinforcement and ended up with my knitting unravelling. I salvaged it by going through stitches lower down with another line of reinforcement AND sewn wool blanket type stitching before picking up the button band...same for the other side.
