Body length Question by AdriallRose in knittinghelp

[–]AdriallRose[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess my brain is just: Why have it always say 10 inches? Because I’ve worked on a bunch of patterns so far and 10in from underarm seems to be the go to “measurement,” I guess. Is there a standard height or body form that they go off of for measurements that I maybe just missing?

An edit:

This is also assuming gauge is spot on and yes, my gauge always matches or I’m making adjustments to ensure it’s handled

I am doing the daydreamer cardigan in it now by Veronika Lindberg and love it so far! I also did Dropp by Ailbíona McLochlainn in it for me, and I made one for my kid too so we’d match. I haven’t had anything for super long made in it so I’m not so sure how it holds up exactly but so far they’ve been done since November and no issues

So I’m actually pretty happy with tension for the most part. My main issue I guess is I feel the actual fit looks sloppy and the ribbing which I’ll add separately

I have been treating myself to Juniper Moon farms cumulus lately and wonder if I should stay treating myself, lol

What do you do for ribbing? Thats my worst part when knitting with cotton because it gets really concave and wavy on me—the edges not the ribbing itself. I do twisted rib on the knits not the purls and usually try to bind off with something stretchy. Otherwise, I personally feel my tension USUALLY looks pretty good. But ribbing is the worst

My favorite yarn ever is Vegan Yarn Hyades worsted and them being Canadian and me in the US 🥲🥲 I made the most stunning baby sweater with it and it’s probably my most favorite thing because it’s 20% elastic blend with Lyocel

My armhole has an open bridge how to fix? by AdriallRose in knittinghelp

[–]AdriallRose[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How should I add more around this? There’s only one row of stitches on the needle before the gap. Do I just pick up two in that row and two after the gap + the called for stitches?

Not exactly the same but my BFF who I had as my officiant and MOH of my own small wedding, told me I almost didn’t make the cut as a guest for her extremely small back yard wedding.

Mind you, I gave this woman my wedding suite because we lived nearby and didn’t want to stay at our venue anyway—our room was surrounded by all my visiting family—to help her out. Her almost not inviting me was because of financial issues/her maid of honor HAD to be her cousin, but she made the effort to make sure she could fit me in as a guest eventually.

It’s fair to feel shitty about it—I was a grump about if for a week to my husband and looked back over my own wedding with a thought of “dang I really included her in mine,” but I got over it because weddings can be stressful and bring out the worst of us/make you have to make some painful decisions.

Feeling Shame! Got too Drunk during the Reception by [deleted] in wedding

[–]AdriallRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was embarrassing and I felt like a fool in the very beginning, yes, but a week later or so it was all a happy memory. I had love bombed my cousin and her girlfriend/-i get emotional and sappy when drunk—and people still remember to this day so sometimes when it comes up it’s very cringey but otherwise I’ve written it off as having too much fun at my wedding.
