I finished this for myself a little late for Christmas but it was my gift to myself. I tend to block gently and lazily by just doing a soak and tug to even out stitches. I’ll add the details officially in the comments, but I used Retrosaria Rosa Pomar Beiroa yarn, which was amazing but occasionally…
Hello amazing community I’m so thrilled to have found this! I’m a lone knitter learning from scratch and it’s nice to have a place to ask questions I am working on this double knit Harry Potter scarf Gryffindor Spirit Scarf I tried to do a salvage to make the edges neater by purling every last stit…
This is based on a pattern called Malaury Sweater but heavily modified. Yarn is Studio Donegal Darnie. The yarn was very splitty so I didn't want to sew large pieces with it. So, I modified the pattern to mostly knit in the round with set -in sleeves. The only sewn parts are shoulders and armscye. …
What’s your favorite? I have to make DH another pair of boot socks. I haven’t made socks in years and what I used before is discontinued. Thanks in advance.
Friends, I started knitting a cardigan for my niece and I’m using this fluffy yarn (KnitPicks Wonderfluff) and half fisherman’s rib. I want it to be as perfect as I can make it, so that means I’ve had to troubleshoot, frog, start over, etc. Before I started participating in this community, I wouldn…
It''s a bit of a meme by now that almost everyone has to go up a needle size from what the pattern says, to the point that I now usually just start swatching with a larger needle immediately. What I want to know is why are all patterns so remarkably consistent in this, so that it seems like everyon…

I was thinking that I maybe messed up the length of my armhole, but honestly that’s just a random guess :/Pattern is …
I really like this jumper, but it also seems like it has too much loose material in the body that collects at the back.I want to make another one that sits better, but don't know what changes are needed to the construction.The pattern is cloud sweater by petiteknit. It has a boxy fit and I went for…

How to pick up underarm stitches without a hole Similarly how to avoid a hole by thumb when knitting mittens. Different ways to join in round. I have books with various cast on and offs, how to i…
My first embroidery!I made the Bumblebee cardigan by auyeva_marina. A bit challenging because her instruction videos are in Russian but it's a nice pattern and she is very responsive.I didn't space out the buttons well but I got fed up with unraveling the Drops Air 🙈.
I love me a buttonband and collar construction, and I've gotten pretty good at getting out the calculator to figure out how many stitches to drop if I've picked up too many, all of that.BUT there's nothing I love more than seeing "that is approximately 2 stitches for every 3 rows starting bottom ri…
I’ve attempted knitting multiple times over the last few years but as a crocheter it was hard to wrap my head around working with two needles. I tried continental for the first time and I think I’ve got it! This is my first attempt at continental knit & purl
