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…

Weird Shape from Ball Winder
little-mage,
Any idea why my knit picks ball winder is making these weird orbit shapes instead of nice cakes? I thought at first it was because I was winding from a ball instead of my swift, but when I used the swift, that didn’t help. Last time I used it before this, it was fine.

Gauge Swatching
Driftdraft,
Hi, I am swatching for the Billie Pullover by Sari Nordland. I have done a swatch for moss stitch and another for the main cable pattern as the designer suggests but now I’m confused. I got 18 stitches instead of 20 for the moss stitch swatch and I got 24 stitches instead of 22 stitches for the mai…
