Hello fiber friends! Welcome to Knits by Mandy, my creative outlet for all things knitting. I'm so happy to have you here as I document all of the epic highs and lows that come with knitting your own clothes.

I frogged 2 cardigans last year. One I turned into a tee and the other I just reknit into a smaller size. Wait! I frogged a 3rd one and made into a jumper 😂😂😂
for the scissors i just use this tiny pair of eyebrow hair scissors i found in my house one day lol. they’re super convenient for working on projects outside my home and are definitely a space saver in the bag!
I loved this series! I am reconsidering whether I want to re-do the sleeves of a cardigan, and this is a nudge.
Go for it!
Well done Amanda! The color and airiness of the Lento really suit the yarn. I love the fact that you can dress it up using its opaque nature, but also wear it as a sweatshirt with some more layering ❤
thank you! I'm excited to have a sweater with a bit more versatility :)
Great series!
It’s time to frog my first knitted garment 😔 totally going to knit a very v neck raglan instead!
you got this! the v neck raglan is such a fun knit
i like to pick up live stitches with a smaller needle and then knit them with the right size
LOVE these glasses on you
🌟🌟🌟 Love all your knit flips! Most important is that you’re happy with them.
I loved this series (and all your videos)! Such a good idea, and each of the flips turned out amazing.
Mario Kart?? That's amazing, i see how your brain works. Also, Mario game music gets stuck in my head allllll the time at work, when i need to go fast 😂
Congrats on your awesome flips! Love them.
Love your lento! It is so pretty and you really shine bright and beautiful in that ingrid top color. Suits you so well!
this series was so fun! x
Love these videos! Very inspirational, and satisfying seeing the end products. I frogged my first sweater recently to reclaim the yarn because I love it, but now i can't decide what to make with it! Lol
the options are endless once you frog!
Love how these turned out
Since you love the billowy sleeve, you should think about doing a straight sleeve and then a rapid decrease right at the wrist/ribbing. It gives very romantic vibes.
That’s the nicest Lento I ever saw 💕🎉
I just over dyed a knit because of your last video. It will get way more wear now.
that is awesome to hear!
All your projects turned out so well, and you've 100% convinced me to finally frog several of my knits that I've only worn once or twice, I've been putting it off for almost a year lol!
thanks so much! good luck in your frogging!
That lento looks amazing on you!!!
Oh thank you!
Your Lento is pretty!! 💕Great job on dyeing your Ingrid Top. 🧶
All of your knit flips turned out sooooo great! Love the color of your Ingrid top and your lento sweater looks perfect! Such a fun series and you nailed it :)
Really enjoyed this series. Insired me to dive into a little sweater surgery adding length and to frog another one for a restart. Thanks for the time you spend for us
It was so nice to see you "fix" your projects! It sometimes feels like a waste of time when you could knit on something new instead, so this might've inspired me to fix some of my knits too hehe! Also, the lento turned out BEAUTIFUL!
I remember when you cast on that "Whitmore"? Cardigan and I was so in awe of how it looked on you when you finished it! So, watching you unravel it, etc was somewhat painful as I could never imagine knitting anything so beautiful!! BUT, Im now in awe of the thinking behind repurposing the wool. I've really enjoyed these three video's, they were inspirational and entertaining! The pink is such a stunning colour with your hair and complexion!
It was painful to unravel as well! But glad I now have something I'll get lots of wear out of :)
Congratulations on your engagement!
thank you!
you have a lot to improve in terms of expressing yourself to the viewer, you repeat yourself and include very irrelevant inclusions
check out some of my newer videos! this is two years old and I think I've come a long way in my editing and production.
Congratulations! Leaving the house was definitely justified. 😂 I’ve been engaged for almost a year and still can’t get used to saying “fiancé”.
I’ve posted over 100 videos and STILL have not made a cent from KZread. I also have two videos with over 10,000 views. So when you said you only made 30 videos before getting monetized I’m like wow 🤯. Thank goodness I actually enjoy making videos but being monetized for all the work I put in would be nice. Great video thanks for the transparency.
I don’t like mohair either and everyone on YT talks about it. I refuse to work with it. Best wishes on your recent engagement! I watched out of order. Lol.
This is so interesting and helpful! Thank you~
Eek congratulations on your engagement, Amanda !!
Sweaty girls unite 🙌🙌
I looooove the pink of that lento sweater on you!
FYI - if you knit lace shawls, blocking mats and pins are a must have. I actually pull mine so tight I have to use clamps to hold the blocking mats to the table, or they would curl up. For sweaters, I agree. Not necessary.
Congratulations! So excited for you both! The Lanark sweater is on my to-knit with so I’m so excited to see yours knit up!
Congrats on your engagement! 💍🥳 I really like your Weekend Hat. 🧶 I want to knit a Lento also.
Baby Cat Yarns does dyed to order. She has mini skein sets and all tonal.
Her palettes are AMAZING
Congratulations on your engagement! So great to see that dyed tank. Way to take a risk!
Congratulations on your engagement! How exciting to take this next step with your partner. Wishing you lots of happiness together! If after you put all your minis together you decide you're missing something, I highly recommend Baby Cat Yarns! She creates the most MAGICAL color palates for literally any vibe you could want and they all come in mini sets!
thank you for your kind wishes! I just gave Baby Cat Yarns a follow!
Congrats on your engagement! The wedding planning is gonna take a lot of time, I am so tired from it already hahaha
Thank you so much! And I'm sure!
Congrats on your engagement! Love the hat! I keep saying I want a car that color, because black, silver, and white are everywhere and so boring, but we ended up getting a white vehicle for our dog to help keep him cool. Love your take on reality tv. I was just reading an interview with Laerke Bagger from 2019, and she says she watches American reality TV when she knits at home in the evenings. So I had to come here to tell you that after watching your podcast earlier today. 😂 ~Brenda
Always here for the overlap in the venn diagram of knitters and reality tv watchers!
Congratulations on the engagement!!!
Thank you!!
The world needs to know: what are you knitting for the wedding?!?
"I won't be making a Taylor swift reference" "I need it biblically" I see you girly lmao
Congratulations on your engagement and little baby cousin!! 🩷 your Lento is looking sooo cute, what an upgrade for that yarn! my current WIP is also fingering on 6mm needles so I can understand how enjoyable it must be to knit on 😍
Thank you! Knitting the lento has been so nice, getting to work on bigger needles without the bulk of yarn hurt my hands.
Congrats on your engagement!! So excited for you! Btw, I also frogged a sweater to make a lento! Twins!! 💕
"metric fuck-ton" is my new favorite unit of measurement.
it is actually a very precise measurement!
Congratulations!!
