Thanks for the tips! I’ve been wondering how to try my pullovers on without all my stitches falling off the needles. 😊
I am loving your stripes sweater and I can’t wait for the pattern. Just looked at the Atlas in stash and I’m ready!
I would love a child size pattern of 1999. How many different colors do you think I need for the adult size?
Tutu is more appropriate for the project 🐽🦄🍑👙🩰👛🏩🍭🦑🌸🌺
Darker pink for sure!
Team Tutu defo!
Love all the sewing. The fabric is amazing! What tote bag pattern are you using
I like the salmon colour next. Such a great sweater.❤️🇨🇦
Tutu for the balance!
Hey Jen I really want to make this vintage striped sweater will wait till you release I like the darker pink 💗 yarn ❤

Tutu, tutu, tutu.
These hats are beautiful I was planning to do for a church charity but I don’t know how to do a 2 color hat do you have a videos with instructions? Thanks
I will make one!
Love you podcast!!!! Thanks for sharing. For the sweater I'll go for tutu colour 😍
I prefer whisper on its own also, but I think tutu works better especially two away from the orange.
Tutu pink! I agree it goes with the general tone of the other stripes. Love your bags so much! I should tell my daughter about the IKEA fabrics -- she loves to sew. I also love your sweater. I love stripes. The shape you are planning sounds perfect for me!
Kelly!
Tutu! 😄
I definitely prefer the tutu. The other one reads more neutral, especially next to the grey. I have so many Sonia Philips skirts. So easy to make and wear! In seam pockets in every one, and I've played with different lengths.
I vote for the next stripe to be knit in Tutu!
I agree with you that the salmon pink has the better tone for your sweater; I also prefer the kelly green.
Hey Jen, grand to see this week's craftiness. could you have a chat to the nice people at Rowan to do a mini-ball/skein kit in their tweeds to match/honor the 1999 jumper? Oh and I'm Team Tutu.
I vote ‘Tutu’. I think it works best totally, as you said.
Love your sewing projects ! Socks and Bags; you can never have enough of them. Sonya´s shirt no.1 is my absolute favorite ! Team tutu here 😃
LOVING all your sewing projects!! You should sell some of your bags for charity!! For the sweater, I think the tutu color way. LOVED Bowie's comment!!!
I think the Tutu and the forest green look better with the other colours in the sweater. And like you, I would ordinarily lean towards the kelly and the other pink.
Thanks so much for this update! I love how your striped sweater is coming along! I think the carnation pink would be nice for the next stripe, but it's hard to tell for sure. The other one looks almost white from here. Your IKEA bags are so GREAT! It's fun to make the same thing more than once to improve it each time, although if you hadn't pointed things out, no one would even see the details that you think aren't 'perfect'. I fight myself on those little things all the time and try to keep track of the bigger picture, too. I look forward to seeing the progress on your dresses and skirt . Have a fun time with your sweet family!
team tutu!
I think you need a pinker pink.
Whisper and Forest
Team tutu here! That stripey sweater will be so much fun! It would be very cool if MDK did some kits! Also, love the bags! You are doing such a good job.
I love the Tutu pink. Can't wait for the sweater, I will be making one!
I vote Tutu as the better fit.
I like the tutu. Excited to see this sweater done. I remember Fosters Imaginary Friends a cartoon (back in the days of the PowerPuff Girls) had a skinny black girl named Goo who wore that sweater all the time (had to google search her name ). My husband is doing Ragbrai for the third time starting yesterday. He is in Glenwood Iowa at the moment.
Tutu next to the dark grey. I’ve found grey next to pink looks nice (or marled with). The greens, depends on adjacent colors. I’m not the greatest next-color-picker! I need to put the colors side by side, then waffle, think about, then over-think… In general, I think allll the colors look good with each other! You’ll have your sleeves to play with more color ideas. Have fun! Thanks for the sewing show-and-tell!! I love little (or bigger) tins/boxes! I think I have too many, as I put “stuff” in them, then can’t find what I’m looking for! haha I’m learning to keep similar things together. Maybe. Sometimes. Thanks for a fun episode!
Definitely Tutu. I think Whisper gets lost.
I really am sorry to say - the next stripe would look much much better in tutu - I like the jade green but the more forest one is possibly the better choice
Tutu seems most appropriate
Tutu is best since the value of the other colors are richer in tone.
Tutu and Kelly. Love the bags!
That is so cute. Bowie is the sweetest and you know that’s a compliment! Thanks
Love your KZread. Every saturday I knitting and look 😍 Love from Norway!
Tutu!!!!!🌸🐙👛👙🎀💓
I like tutu best.
Salmon pink is my vote! Beautiful sweater.
Tutu pink for sure! Cute sweater!
Tutu
Tutu gets my vote
Carnation - tone value, etc. better, in my opinion
Tutu.... the value is better the paler pink is too much of a contrast in value. 😊my two bits😊
