Crochet hook recommendations
katiemiko,
I’ve recently started making amigurumi, mostly with fingering weight cotton and a 2mm hook. But keep breaking the hooks, a Knitters Pride waves (metal separated from the ergonomic handle) and a few aluminum Susan Bates style hooks (they snap at the thin thumb rest part). So what material and style …

Favorite Non-Wool Sock Fibres?
/u/Madanimalscientist,
I have been on a sock kick lately and have been using some gorgeous wool/nylon blends, but it got me wondering what other fibres people like to use for making socks besides wool? Like if you were gonna make socks and couldn't use wool from a sheep, or nylon, what would you use? I admit where I live…

If you could have one knitting superpower what will it be?
/u/xim0c,
I have been thinking about this since I started knitting and I think that I would love to have the superpower if always knowing what yarn to substitute the one suggested from the patters, that is always a struggle for me and would love to know right away what yarn to use if I cannot find the sugges…

First stranded colourwork - tension or colour issue?
/u/SoulfulCreature,
.. Hi, I’m working my first stranded colourwork. It’s lighthearted slipover by Clara Eggers knitted with De Rerum Natura Gilliatt (quartz + argile). The pattern in bottom rows is not quite clear.

Help for a weird loop in knitting
AnnaoftheFaeries,
Hello Ravelry Community! I just picked up an old project and noticed a problem as I was knitting a couple of rounds. I have this very large loop in my knitting and it appears to be running through the whole thing. The rest of the project looks totally fine though, so that’s why I can’t figure out h…

Searching for a specific Sayelle yarn
oliveolivehead,
Hi friends, so my aunt gave me a huge bag of yarn she had lying around. I recently started a project with this yarn, knowing I would run out, but not knowing this company no longer exists. I didn’t find out until I got halfway done with my project and tried to find the color online. Does anyone kno…

Too big
/u/Limp_Position_4280,
.. I need everyone to cry with me. I've been following the Fishing for Compliments pattern and while I love the chart, the directions have been incredibly frustrating. I'm knitting the large size, but it really feels like some of the decisions were made arbitrarily - a random set of extra rounds benea…

DC in 3rd loop
Cbartel777,
Hi friends! if my pattern says double crochet in the third loop around—it does not specify if it’s the front or the back loop which one would you assume they mean? I’m assuming the look is different if you do front or back. Thank you! Cindy

Why does my collar look so bunchy?
/u/Forensics817,
.. I’m working on a top down sweater using Ann Budd’s Knitters Handy Book of Top Down Sweaters. It’s a raglan that was knit flat in the beginning to shape the v neck and then joined in the round. I picked up the stitches for the collar like the instructions said (1-1 on the back/shoulders and 3 for ev…
