Hi, I was diagnosed with PTSD a few years ago and my therapist suggested knitting to calm my anxiety. I started knitting in January and so far I’ve made a hat, a shawl, a cowl and pair of fingerless mittens. Im loving it. It’s working wonders for my mental health. I’m now making my first jumper and my ultimate goal is to knit your arctic light sweater. One day 🤞🏽. Im so thankful for all the videos that you do. They are very inspirational and educational. 😊

I’m a new knitter and having only made a scarf before I’m now knitting my first jumper. I’m slow, there’s many mistakes, at first I got cramp all the time in my hand… but I’m learning, getting quicker each row and ABSOLUTELY LOVING it!! 🧶

I picked up knitting again after about a 10 year break and have love loved making sweaters and tops recently. It’s like coming back home. It’s been very therapeutic and fun learning new techniques. Thanks so much for your videos! Your creativity and joy helps to brighten my day!

I have knitted a lot of pullover as I was a student. The last years I knitted only socks, but now I started to knit a pullover again and I am so happy about it. 😍

My knitting story started long ago as a kid, when my Granma knitted socks for the whole family and taught me to knit simple things like scarfs. I was too young that time to learn how to knit socks, and I didn't learn from her this her main skill. Decades after that, 6 years ago, in the times of huge problems (2 surgeries and some my close relatives passed away - all in quite short time), I returned to knitting as the way of stress relief and learnt knitting socks from Internet masterclasses. Now it is already me who knits socks for the whole family (and doing that I feel closer to my beloved Grandma). I also knit scarves, hats, simple mittens etc. Aaaand you inspired for my first sweater, which I a finishing now. Thank you for you positive and inspiring videos❤

I'm a sweater knitter! But I do like to explore hats. So nice that someone showed blocking, thank you!

I am primarily a sweater knitter! I like big projects with lots of novelty and trying new techniques. I learned to make socks this year!

Hej, I started knitting when I was little and got taught by my grandma. As I grew older I started knitting a lot of socks and scarves. When my friends started having babies I knitted starter kits for them (baby hat, shoes, mittens etc.). Now I enjoy knitting sweaters, hats and socks, depending on my mood and time but usually I have several projects at once for each occasion. And just loving a day on the couch with tea and my knitting needles 🥰

I am a relatively new knitter (I got serious during COVID) and have been intimidated by sweaters up to now. So I mostly knit hats, fingerless mitts and shawls. But I recently started knitting my first adult-size sweater and I love it. I also like to carry a sock in my bag for "drive-by" knitting.

I'm just starting with knitting, for now I do simple things but there will come a day when I will be able to do something so complicated. I definitely prefer sweaters

Hello i'm an old knitter 59years old and i knit since forty years.I like knitting sweater for me and my grand- children .I like cables and lace and i like learning new things.Recently,i'm begin socks.Its à great pleasure to watch all yours vidéos. I'm french.Thank you..

I've been knitting for many years, but at 75 with very arthritic hands,I don't know how much longer I'll be able to continue. It's the one thing about getting old that ticks me off. Anyhoo, over the years I've gone through phases of only wanting to knit one item. I had my sweater phase, cowl phase, shawl phase, sock phase and now I'm back to a sweater phase with some shawls thrown in. Your patterns re so beautiful I suspect my current sweater obsession will last a long time. 😊

Hi Kutovakika, thank you for your positivity and enjoyment in knitting, it's contagious! I crochet for many years and started knitting a few years ago as I felt with knitting I have much more options. I started with a big project, a poncho, and it took me a long time and many attempts to finish it, but I learned so much during this process. Since then, I am working on smaller projects such as slippers for me and my partner out of feling wool, headbands for me and my daughters and a baby colourwork cardigan for a friend at the moment. Knitting gives me so much enjoyment, every morning I wake up and am looking forward to continue with my projects*

Hello I am 14 years old and I have been knitting since I was 6 years old but stopped knitting and started crocheting for 4 years and made my way back to knitting again! Knitting has helped me when I'm stressed it brings me calm and excitement when knitting. I love to knit sweaters, cardigans, and vest! LOvE your videos so much keep up the amazing work you have created here on youtube! 🥰

Hi Kika! I was taught the basics of knitting by my grandmother when I was little and my mother used to knit my sister and I one of a kind sweaters. They were and still are very much into knitting 🧶 I have always been one to try and alter my clothing. Over the past few years, I’ve been really unsatisfied with the clothing I bought, so I learned how to sew shirts and blouses. That’s when I fell in love with creating a garment to my specific taste. I started to knit again just last year and asked my mother to refresh my memory and share her tips 🥰 I currently love knitting sweaters and am going to try to make a cardigan next. Congratulation on your book and thank you for the very inspiring videos you share here on youtube!

I started out with crocheting small stuffed animals, and a few blankets later I switched to knitting!

Dear Kika,

I love knitting baby blankets for my friends and family. They are very personalized and I enjoy trying out new techniques on blankets along with giving the parents a personal gift that can last them generations. My grandmother taught me how to knit when I was in middle school and it's been a way to feel closer to her even though she is no longer with us.

I'm still a new knitter, but my first project was Fair Isle. I designed my first sweater myself and am open to a new challenge and love neutral or autumn colors. My compliments for the energy you share with us through your videos, your enthusiasm is contagious ❤

I am a sweater knitter! I challenged myself to knit things that scare me this year and started it off with a bang with the Arctic Light! I finished it last night and am obsessed with it! I had never really done any cables and had never done the italian bind off. I learned so much! Thank you for this beautiful pattern!
