Will I regret this

/u/megolisa_,
.. It already took me so many hours that I just went on, ignoring the fact that I messed up this two rows. But now I’m wondering wether I’ll regret it when the sweater is done (this part will be from my hips to the breasts so it’s a big part of the sweater)

discontinued pattern

momochino,
Hi! Looking for the discontinued pattern for these lovely wrist warmers. Mod Edit to avoid potential copyright violation or have any ideas on how I could get it/purchase it? Thank you so much! https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/karin-wristwarmers

Best Stretchy Bind-off

UncleStashley,
I’m having trouble finding “stretchy” bind-offs that match my concept of stretchiness … I’m looking for which bind-offs will enable me literally to stretch my knitting as wide as it will go. So if I knit 40 sts of stockinette and have a piece 8” wide, I’d like to be able to bind off and pull it out…

Blocking Lace is always so satisfying

/u/OrbitalKnitter,
.. I knitted this shawl in April and finally found time (and motivation let’s be honest ;)) to block it this week.I’m not a perfectionist when it comes to blocking, I try to aim for some symmetry but I don’t sweat it too much either.

Finished knitting another sweater vest

/u/Damig0th,
.. Finally finished knitting this sweater vest with bows on the side. 🎀 It’s kind of a part two to the “when a woman does it, it’s a craft, but when a man does it, it’s art” sweater vest which I posted on here a few days ago.I honestly really loved looking at all of the replies there, about what peopl…

raglan pattern adjustments

creekgirl1,
Hi folks, Thank you for your voices of experience here! I’ve never worked with a pattern, just designed my own stuff based on measurements and ST/row counts. But I’d like to try knitting Aran and Fair Isle, and for that kind of complexity, I’m sure I’d need a “real” pattern. I thought I should star…

12 Stockings!

/u/jynxwild,
.. I decided that with my first nephew being born, everyone in my and my siblings' families needed handknit stockings. Finished yesterday with Hufflepuff (sorry Hufflepuffs for always being last - but to be fair that one is for my sister's cat).So happy to get to work on a bigger project for myself no…

Can I use a different brand of connector with hiya hiya interchangeable needles?

scruffmcgruff,
I’m a big fan of HiyaHiya needles due to their emphasis on standard parts, and in particular, their tip extenders. I have a full set of small interchangeables and a few pair of size large needles at home. I am learning Portuguese style knitting. There is a particular technique which I wish to learn…

First (adult sized) sweater done! Not sure I love it though?

/u/szechuan_sauce42,
.. I wanted it to be a lighter and brighter color, but it turned out to be more of a dusty greeenish-bluish color. I knew that was going to be the case early on, but I had already bought all the yarn for it and stubbornly insisted on finishing it.What do you all do when you love the shape/pattern/feel…

Chicken Sweater in Progress and potential alternative to duplicate stitch?

/u/Xuhuhimhim,
.. This is the All Cooped Up by Caitlin Shephard. 2aat sleeves and first time ladderback jacquard (i know i left some floats really long i was lazy). Feet were supposed to be duplicate stitch but I hate doing that so I sort figured out a way to do it without that. Looks a bit wonky but I feel like I c…

Crochet colorwork question

this49erknitter,
Hi all - I’m looking for tips from more experienced folks! I have done some intarsia crochet but it’s too tight at the colorwork section. Are there any tutorials/tips out there to help? I’ve done a lot of searching but I’m not finding anything helpful. For example, I made a graphghan with the color…

First ever finished object after starting knitting a month ago!!

/u/bbbbbbbppppppp,
.. I started knitting a month ago and have just completed my very first item and I’m thrilled with them. A few people told me I was made doing socks on DPNs for a first project, but it was what I wanted to do so leapt in! I did about an hour’s practice on the DPNs before I started.The first sock’s cuf…
