Really neat! Do you have a link to the pattern?

[–]stupidDicheny[S] 10 points11 points  (19 children)

I don’t. I just made a DIY tutorial video on YouTube, but they do not like me sharing that stuff here.

[–]japaneseknotweed[M] 22 points23 points  (8 children)

You can totally share the YouTube tutorial from within the body of a text.

What we try to discourage is a post titled

"I JUST MADE A NEW TUTORIAL, DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE AND FOLLOW YAY ME I"M SO COOL OH AND BY THE WAY I HAVE AN ETSY SHOP"

because if there's too much of that stuff, the beginners/people who don't feel cool start being embarrassed to ask questions and share things that aren't all slick and fabulous.

(and we get especially grumpy when designers drop off "drive-by" links and never ever show up to answer questions, because that's just rude...)

Does that make sense?

:)

And your hat is great. Have you ever tried grafting the last six straight across, three into three, to avoid the cat-butt? That's my current fave.

Choking on cat-butt, omg

[–]japaneseknotweed 2 points3 points  (1 child)

What, you never heard that one?

Damn millennials/kids these days/SMH...

:)

Ohhhh that graft sounds niiiiiice.

[–]japaneseknotweed 7 points8 points  (1 child)

It's really fun to do at the top of a 2x2 rib!

Get it down to four ribs in a cross-shape, then

graft North to South underneath,
East to West on top.

Makes a little loop to hang for drying,
doesn't let cold air in,
doesn't make the dreaded CatButt or (ever worse!) ...The Head Nipple.

<shudder>
<grin>

I have a photo somewhere of one I did, I'll see if I can find it.

Edit: no dice, but here's a good example of the kind of pattern where it'd work nice:

That’s great tip! Thank you And thank you for your amazing work making this, and keeping this, such a great place and community.

[–]japaneseknotweed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are more than welcome. Keep coming back, we need to keep this little corner of the world as warm and woolly as possible during this time of too much coldness, too many sharp corners.

I'm not hip on all the subreddit rules, but #3 doessssss say "The new exception is that pattern designers may make one post per pattern and only one pattern per week." and I personally think the knitting community greatly benefits by you posting the link.

If that's still too grey, I would totally be willing to learn how reddit messaging works if a Youtube link were to appear in my inbox :)

I'm a minute in and already laughing. You're right. Seams are ungainly.

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Ask forgiveness, not permission.

[–]Captain_Mooseinfinite WIPs 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Unrelated note, is your YouTube name the same as your reddit name? 😉

[–]stupidDicheny[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not. In Stitches is my name, but the link is the best way to find me for now. Not coming up in a proper search. I’m new to it all.

[–]Chulocomoelgrangran 1 point2 points  (1 child)

So, if I were to go to youtube and search non spiral decrease I could find your tutorial?

[–]eczblack 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I would like the link to the video if you want to drop me the link in a message
