I am so glad I have knitting
/u/fairydommother,
.. Having a rough time with my bank right now. I have a really hard time regulating negative emotions so I went from in a fairly good and relaxed to mood to absolutely livid, frustrated, and stressed out in the span of about 2 minutes. Spent a good half hour getting absolutely nowhere.And thenā€¦knittinā€¦

My second ever blanket!
/u/AngelofGrace96,
.. I made a squares blanket out of this yarn years ago, but knitted it way too loose, and got sick of my fingers constantly going through the holes every time I picked it up. So about 2 months ago I frogged the whole thing and knit this blanket instead, yarn held twice together. It's so thick and heavā€¦

Progress on my first knitting project!
/u/sqvvad,
.. I was warned by many to not take on socks as my very first project, but it was the whole reason I wanted to learn to knit! So, I figured why not jump right in? Itā€™s taken me about a week to get to this point, but Iā€™m learning SO much and Iā€™m pretty proud of how it looks so far! šŸ¤©Any feedback on thiā€¦

How to fix a too big sweater
gemini77,
Help! Long story short, I started my knitting sweater, The Weekender, last year, took a break this summer, picked it back up and just finished it. Iā€™ve since lost 25lbs and now itā€™s too big! I could literally remove a whole size from this! Is there anything I can do to save this/fix this? How do yoā€¦

My first actual wearable sweater!
/u/themahaster,
.. Lots of mistakes, I wish I had enough yarn to have made it longer and I wish I went a size larger. But I love it so much :)

first sock!
/u/Baitung,
.. Singular because, well, I still need to make the other one šŸ˜…I'm finding these super fiddly (I'm using magic loop, and it feels like I spend 80% of my time moving stitches up and down), but I'm so proud of how they look now that they're done!!The socks will be for my ex's sister's newborn daughter! ā€¦

Cascade 220 comparisons & worsted natural fiber recommendations
taliesincrafts,
Hey everyone! 2nd paragraph if you want to skip the background. Iā€™m looking to make a gorgeous cabled sweater in natural fibers, likely wool or alpaca, though I am also open to natural/synthetic blends. I want a balance of good stitch definition and non-itchiness/scratchiness, so Iā€™m not really conā€¦

80s Jumper šŸŽØšŸ–Œļø
/u/Just_Me_yay,
.. Iā€™ve been having a rough couple of weeks so I decided to go through my photos and remembered I had a fancy photoshoot with this jumper I knitted.I remember it took forever to make because I kept putting it down and I didnā€™t knit a gauge swatch so it ended up coming out bigger than the size it said ā€¦

Squared Diamond granny
newhousemom,
I am frustrated in searching for a written pattern / tutorial to crochet the squared diamond (or itā€™s been called the tilted granny, or the kaleidoscope). All I find on Pinterest is pictures, or videos. I am tired of the foreign sites, or the sites that want me to download a pdf or the wave or whatā€¦

Cabled Vest (first attempt knitting cables!)
/u/sabrosita514,
.. Pattern is the Hayley Slipover by Hirismakes.Had to watch a few YouTube videos to learn how to read a cable chart. Itā€™s daunting at first but the end result is so worth it! After a while I got the hang of the pattern and would hardly have to reference the chart, which was nice. :)

Making Time For Knitting
/u/Hatty_Knits_Along,
How do you find time for knitting? Do you knit in weird places or situations? I think sometimes people are shocked my how many FOs I can whip out (which I don't even think is that much), but I think it's because I love knitting so much I am just constantly finding opportunities to be doing it. I loā€¦
