Unpopular opinion, I won’t buy a pattern for a cardigan unless I can see a version with it buttoned or tied 😅 I live in Canada, and for my climate it’s so important to be able to layer. So when I’m outside I’ll wear the cardigan under my jacket, then when I’m first coming inside I’ll leave it buttoned to warm up, and then once I get comfortable and warm again I’ll unbutton. Cardigans are so I can make warmth “steps” 😅😅

Why would that be an unpopular opinion? You are simply sticking to what works for your climate. Go you! I have to do almost the opposite because of my climate. I’m 30 minutes from the U.S./Mexican border, and I refuse to knit any “summer” wear that requires layering something underneath - camis and tanks under anything are far too uncomfortably hot here!

Sweaters made from fingering weight yarn require surprisingly small amounts of yarn. I love to knit but i already have too many sweaters after many years of knitting, so i just enjoy the long process and much cheaper cost. I can make a long sleeve xs sweater from 5 of 50g balls.

I knew there was something I didn’t like the first Burning sweater and you nailed it in saying it was the colors. The colors did not do the sweater justice.

I'm so glad to see Andrea Gaughan on here - I've test knit two of her designs and they're honestly wonderful, really well written and beautiful designs. Andrea is also just a really lovely person so it's so good to see the designs getting some recognition! I can't recommend her patterns highly enough.

Such a fun episode! I think you’d enjoy a non-superwash fingering weight sweater for the drape. Superwash yarns tend to be flimsier and that doesn’t seem to be what you’re after. But non-sw does feel sturdy, even on this thin yarn. Your number one sweater has been on my radar too!

I live in a warm part of Arizona, and I finally made two fingering weight wool sweaters last year and I've absolutely loved them and probably wont go back to heavier weight sweaters tbh. Both of mine were Hannah Fettig designs - the Gable in Knit Picks Stroll and the Jennie Drop Shoulder in the exact yarn and color as the pattern. Love them both. The Jennie was a beast with the texture pattern, but I would probably do it again in a cropped version.

My first sweater was a duster length cardigan with seams. It took me 2 years. Dropped knitting for years because although I loved the garment, it was way too warm! My second garment was the Cumulus tee, knit in fingering linen. That took ages, although I really love the garment and wear it all the time! Everything else has seemed to fly off my needles, although I am quite a slow knitter.

That music-on-hold section made my day! 😅🤗

Great line up! I especially love Night Heron and French Coast.

Ooooooh, a sweater link for what you're wearing....I like it! 😄 You make a great sweater model!

First time watcher, loved your podcast! Keep up the great work. Love you sweater, the pattern is so classic and the yarn is lovely. ❤

I saw the gramma medley on your pad. I knit that sweater and it was super fun. I'm a plus size knitter so it was a little daunting but the quick changes of texture throughout each section actually made it go pretty fast.

Getting Austin/Bronte vibes from that mug...

It's actually kind of funny to me because most of those patterns I feel would look good in a sport or dk weight. When I'm drooling over a fingering weight sweater, it has some gorgeous, fine lace along the yoke or some really cool cabling that really only works with such a fine yarn.

Check out Mon Ami Breton by Hinterm Stein. I enjoyed the atypical construction that yields a beautiful result!

This was another fun, informative program! Thanks Tayler.

I knit the Karelina this year and it is my FAVORITE SWEATER!!!! I couldn't recommend it enough.

Hi! Thank you for watching! So the best way to avoid the gap where the loop comes out between the stitches is to pull a bit more snugly on the yarn as you knit the second stitch in from the needle tip. This tightens up the space between those stitches on either side of the loop. 👍

I prefer smaller yarn weights. Just love what you love. I hardly ever work with anything above DK, but that is just me. I appreciate all knitter's work. Do what you do best. That is when you shine.

I usually spin yarn as fingering weight. Thanks for suggestions of patterns to knit with my yarn!

Stop it !!! your No1 is going in my queue😍You can totally do roosimine, its sort of reverse colourwork, your floats are on the RS. I did wrist warmer by Alex Byrd the technique is so engaging X

Hi Tayler - first of all, I love your content, thank you for your well organized opinions! I often rewatch your videos when looking for something specific, and I appreciate your focused topics. A little insight from a musician turned knitter, if you're interested. Crescendos have more to do with volume, while the burning sweater seems to be inspired by the melodic themes, which are created by pitches moving higher and lower (pitch=frequency, volume=amplitude). You could think of melodic movement as your colorwork here, while volume (crescendo and decrescendo refer to gtadual changes in volume) would be more like your weight of yarn, if we're continuing with the music to knitting analogy. So a crescendo/decrescendo represented in yarn would be more like a thick and thin yarn 😆

I recommend looking at Veera Välimäki's designs. I have knitted a few of her sweaters both with color work and without and have found her patterns lovely and with a nice graphic quality. My favorite fingering sweater of her design that I have knit is the Lapponia sweater. She is a Finnish designer and is also a graduate of a Waldorf School as am I. I hope you enjoy her patterns, she has many to choose from!

Can you imagine if the Top 9 police really were coming for you? I like the so basic sweater by Maxim Cyr.

My tastes likely differ though as I don’t find the more feminine styles very appealing but that’s just me.

So I do love the So Basic. The arm detail makes it for me. I'd lose the pocket, but that's just a preference thing.

It's my inner Meg Ryan/Diane Keaton coming out. 😂 The top nine police are a ruthless company.

If that's issue, with the varda sweater, I think those are mags online so you might do a screen capture? I'm just guessing. Watching on my mobile so couldn't see the edges very well

So funny, because that’s all I want to knit.

I have the varda pattern. I bought it in the book form from the Woolly Thistle.

I love fingering weight sweaters because they can be worn more like a long sleeve shirt when it's not super cold. Worsted and even dk can be too hot. Thanks for this awesome list!

Thoughtful video. Thanks for the ideas. A fingering weight sweater that I have on my list is Local Meadow by Jennifer Parroccini. She has several fingering weight designs and gives clear instructions on getting a fit for your body (and her patterns are size inclusive which I like).

Rauma just released the Varde design for Vams - a thicker yarn! Possibly only in Norwegian still... The sweater in the picture might actually be machine knit. The Rauma yarn mill owns a set of advanced sweater knitting machines that can churn out a sweater an hour which they sell ready made.

Lento is, IMO, a fingering sweater, La Bien Aimée Merino single is a thick lace or a very fine fingering depending on where you draw the line.
