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 …

Hand washing knits in washer
monroepatternco,
Hello, I have been noticing my hands are having a hard time washing my knits, particularly squeezing out water. A few years back we lived in a house that had a hand wash cycle on the machine and I was able to do my sweaters in that and then air dry. I am now looking for a new machine but can’t find…

Front panel is halfway done!
/u/ssarah_ggrace,
.. Using 4.5mm needles and Setasuri from Lana Grossa wool double. Either double beige or one strand beige and one strand colour. The colours will be purple, orange, green, blue and pink in that order. The second picture is the inspiration picture but the pattern is self drafted and I’m using the colou…

Ripping out ramen
/u/One_Education_7639,
.. I am sure I’m not the only one who thinks this as they rip out (frog) their hard earned knitting😝

Truly reversible sweater?
chrisdee,
I’m working on a top down raglan pullover and I am really loving the texture of both sides of the fabric. It has me trying to figure out if there is a way to do the underarm pickup in a way that is smooth and truly reversible on both inside and outside of the garment. Any ideas or techniques?

Pattern for “City on a Lake” shawl
woolgtherer,
I saw the shawl “City on a Lake” displayed and am looking for the pattern. It looks as if the designer “Burning River Knits has shut down her account but the design does pop up in Ravelry but with no link to purchase. I am most anxious to make this shawl - does anyone know how I might get it? Thank…

Measuring and Blocking
Annieqst,
I’ve often wondered when a pattern says “knit until garment measures X inches.” Does that mean measured as is, unblocked? A wool garment, unblocked and in process, may measure more when blocked and will measure more when slightly stretched. Case in point: I’m making a sweater where the underarm mea…

An update on the jumper I'm trying to knit before Christmas:
/u/GordonGoodStuff,
.. There's no real reason I'm knitting this before Christmas. It's not going to be a present; I just enjoy the motivation of a time crunch (thanks, ADHD!). I've been knitting this on and off for about 3-4 hours a day for the last month, with plenty of breaks to rest my hands. I think I might actually …
