The Case for Acrylic baby blankets

/u/Bees_and_Teas,
This is gonna be a slightly sad story, so I'm sorry ahead of time- also thus is the closest flare I could think of. My SiL is expecting a baby, and so I'm knitting her a baby blanket, and all through my research, everyone said Natural Fibres, something soft, etc.And all I could think about was my o…

Yarn types

CloqckDoesCrochet,
What yarn type would you guys recommend for a sturdy bag? I’m doing a tapestry crochet technique for the man face of the bag

I guess I could finish. (Small lament. Just keep scrolling. It doesn’t matter).

/u/HotMessShephardess,
.. Real shame. I always wanted kids, ever since I was young myself. Trying to save my money by shopping my stash, and needing all the happy hormones I can get, any of my single skeins that don’t match with anything else make really good baby knits.They’re small, they’re quick, they’re cute. And they m…

Why does my knitting with DPNs look so weird?

curlyred60,
I am knitting my first pair of mittens in the round with double-pointed needles, and each time I transfer from one needle to the other, the connection looks weird. In other words, the stitch that connects the knitting from one needle to the other is much broader than a normal stitch. Any idea as to…

Thank you for your help some days ago!

.. Maybe you remember my post where I was unsure whether I should frog my wip or not. Besides the fact that most of the commenters told me to frog it, many of you pointed out that my stitches are twisted.

Into the Woods Sweater

/u/jsqr,
.. My version of the Into the Woods sweater! I’m really happy with how it turned out!It’s described as a men’s design, but I wanted a sweater I could wear for skiing and a big trip I have planned soon, but didn’t want all technical gear (not that wool isn’t technical!) My main wants were something I c…

Weaving in Ends for Brimmed Hat

rizello,
I am making a bunch of ribbed brimmed hats, some in stripes and some single color. Since the brim turns up, you are actually seeing the inside of the project. So, I’m wondering how best to weave in ends when one sees the underside. I have tried weaving them in as normal, but invariably as the proje…
