I inherited this... Would I be disrespectful if I choose to frog it?

/u/Positive-Teaching737,
.. Backstory: I inherited this half knitted cardigan sweater and 3/4 of the back panel is complete and I can't wrap my head around the directions even though it seems pretty simple. She still has her stitch markers and even her counter in place but I don't understand the notes because I've never made …

Pattern doesn’t have my size

/u/TheHouseplantPlug,
.. I just bought the Spot Sweater Pattern by Anna Ventzel & I didn’t realize the largest size won’t have enough ease. What can I do? Could I use a heavier weight yarn? Do I need to use yarn math? Agghhhhh😩Largest size has a bust measurement of 125cm & I have a 120cm bust 🥺😭

Cable trim for hooded cowl

.. For anyone who was interested in where things landed after my post about ideas for adding a folded cable trim to a hood (https://www.reddit.com/r/knitting/s/GZJHPP2UqT), here’s where we landed!I couldn’t find any tutorials (or even examples) of this being done before, so I took a stab at winging it…

Help reading crochet patterns-beginner

baygirlknits,
I’m not sure there’s anything anyone can do here, but I’m new to crochet and have been struggling with reading crochet patterns because unlike knitting, they are written in huge long paragraphs that make my eyes blur by the time I get to the end of them! So far I’m just making granny squares (succe…

Front decrease question

MrsChurchill,
https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/honeycomb-aran Hi everyone. I’m knitting this aran in the size 2xl/3xl size, and have a question about the instructions for the front.

The Sascha Cardigan

/u/Different-Ad9827,
.. Finally finished this cardigan. It's a bottom up raglan construction and I'm avoiding such patterns from now on. The pattern was well written, but I would never choose to the a bottom up raglan again.I'll have to attempt to over dye it, since I wasn't paying attention to the colour when knitting. O…

Circular needle join issue and possible fix

TaperedDates,
I’m happy with my choice of equipment. However, the join was regularly catching stitches. A few coats of a reputable nail polish, applied with a detail brush and allowed to dry between each application, has, in effect created a sheath around the join. Knitting is a lot smoother but where tight stit…

Do people actually use fingerless mittens?

/u/Apprehensive-Mark-11,
Hello, I'm planning to knit fingerless mittens for my 4 friends as a gift for Christmas but I'm not sure if people actually use them? I personally love using them in the winter specially in the cold mornings when I have to drive with cold steering wheels and also because my hands are always cold. W…

Hi! I’m knitting a top-down raglan t-shirt in cotton with two colors and I’d like to make single-row stripes. ( Simple pattern .)

storage systems for interchangeable needle cords

doybia,
The cases I have for storing needles are fine. I can find them, I can figure out the size. But the pockets in these cases don’t work at all well, plus I have several sets and no single container that will hold and organize all the cords. Has anyone figured out a simple way to keep track of intercha…
