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 heav…

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? It’s taken me about a week to get to this point, but I’m learning SO much and I’m pretty proud of how it looks so far! 🤩Any feedback on thi…

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. I’ve since lost 25lbs and now it’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 yo…

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 😅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! …

Cascade 220 comparisons & worsted natural fiber recommendations

taliesincrafts,
Hey everyone! 2nd paragraph if you want to skip the background. I’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 I’m not really con…

80s Jumper 🎨🖌️

/u/Just_Me_yay,
.. I’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 didn’t knit a gauge swatch so it ended up coming out bigger than the size it said …

Squared Diamond granny

newhousemom,
I am frustrated in searching for a written pattern / tutorial to crochet the squared diamond (or it’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 what…

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. It’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 lo…

Dropped raglan and I'm about ready to quit

/u/PoppyToffcorn,
.. I'm obviously in floods of tears right now. I was one the last 2 rounds of increases before putting the arms on hold and my ✨wonderful✨ dog went after a sleepy wasp, taking my whole project with her. Is there any way to rescue this? I'm a very beginner knitter (normally a crocheter) and am good at …

ISO pattern for this JEAN PAUL GAULTIER Conical Bra Turtleneck Crop Sweater

CrochetAllGay,
Because I want to make it rather than pay $1500?!?!? But it makes a STATEMENT. I’m a beginner knitter/crochet-er and wondering if anyone advanced and uninspired enough with their PIPs to want to try and create a pattern for this, or even just some tips and tricks to get this similar look. It looks …
