I struggle to knit a sweater in three months!
11:24 cool! I do that too, when cast on, every 20 stitches, I place a stitch marker. Such a big difference and almost zero mistakes 👍
It saves me having to count over and over again. 😁
I would never be able to knit anything in three hours , maybe a dishcloth but thats it
❤️
🤩😜👍🏻
I made my own version as a cardigan. I used 7mm for the rib and 8mm for the main with Aran weight yarn. I used 48 stitches for the two fronts and sleeves with 100 stitches for the back. All up I think it took me about 30 hours.
I love the idea of making it a cardigan! Is there a photo on IG? If so, could you tag me so I can find it? ❤️
If I make it, I will use a circular needle and cast on all the front and back stitches at once and knit it in one piece up to the armhole. I hate sewing the pieces together.😊
Circular needles are a good idea. I'm likely going to do the same when I resize it for myself. ❤️
AMAZING video!!!! I am so going to try this 3 hours-jumper challenge :)
Thank you! When you make it, tag me on in IG. I want to see your version!
This was such a fun - if impossible! - challenge, and a very pretty style too ❤
I'm going to work on resizing it to fit me. That will be the next challenge. 😂
What a fun challenge! The pattern is lovely.
Thank you! It was a lot of fun to make!
Love it, looks fun! I think I will make this!
You should! When you do, please tag me on Instagram. 😁
I’ve seen several people try this no one finishes 😂 I’d try it on size 8 needles and maybe an aaron this is even my size I’m a 16 in vintage I’d have to make the waist smaller though I might try it! Yours looks really big so I definitely need to play with the sizes
I've seen that too and don't understand why they abandoned it..
The bust is more of a loose 36" when done. I'm going to resize it for myself and go down a few needle sizes.
I love the sweater and will definitely knit it up in the future. Love the yarn you chose to use. 👏👏👏👏❤️🌺
Maybe for a 10 inch stuffed teddy bear.
I can make a Weasley Christmas tree ornament sweater in 3 hours...
I think it’s such a cute sweater, even at 4x the advertised speed ☺️
It came out really cute! 🥰
Maybe it would be easier with a knitting belt? Once you're used to them it significantly increases speed.
I need to look this up!
I’m lucky I could get the ribbing done in a day
Amazing!
Thank you!
It's super cute!!
Thank you! ❤️
The baby sweater at the same gauge is a 5 hour baby sweater, so it was never going to be a 3 hour sweater. It’s cute though!!!
It came out really cute! 🥰
Since you started with: 'take BONE needles' I doubt this would have been knitted on a knitting knitting machine. And I if you downloaded this pattern for free - you repeatedly mentioned that it was free on the website - then you should not put it behind a pay pay curtain.
The pattern is free over on my Patreon. Anyone can grab it for free.
I don’t think I could ever knit a sweater in 3 hours! Maybe 3 weeks ( for a child) 😂
😁❤️
3 months for me. LOL!
Maybe it was meant to mean each section takes 3 hours?
Which is basically how long it took for each section. It was still a quick knit though. ❤️😁
So time run differently in 1930s?
Or they knit faster. 😁
I would have only finished the rib stitching at the bottom 😒
Once you get past the ribbing it knits up really fast.
5 mm is u s size 8
And 10mm is u s size 15
Thank you! 😁❤️
Are you also Sarah Strange?
I'm not. Weirdly there is a Toronto musician called Sarah Strange.
@@killerkitschvintagelizzie Sarah Strange is a very good actress I’ve seen quite a bit on the Hallmark Channel. You look a lot like her.
Aw Thank you! ☺️ @@pearlknitpurl
Absolutely no way could I knit an adult sweater in 3 hours. Maybe 30 hours knitting a size 0
😁❤️
