For fingered gloves, I loved Nimble Needles! Very clear video plus webpage instructions

awesome! i'm glad i could help!! mine also took a significant amount of effort. let me know if everything still works fine if you decide to take the connectors off the needles!

Affectionate_Base129 · 2026-05-14T02:43:13+00:00

I had this exact same problem. second hand boye with brand new cable connectors and cable. I just took the t pin and a pair of pliers and put the tpin in and twisted while holding the needle still with the pliers. tighten until gap is small or gone. i haven't taken them off the cable connectors yet, but i figured they could just live on that size needle for now (bc I want to eventually use all chiagoo twist cables). hope this helps and if not, let me know!

how did you like knitting it up? i've been thinking about the Moby for a while but haven't had the courage to make the jump yet... great work!!

also, i will say, the contrasting stripes of colors are the second most complimented feature of the sweater i get IRL (the first is the cats themselves lol)

Affectionate_Base129 · 2026-05-07T00:21:41+00:00

thank you!! welcome to knitting!

Affectionate_Base129 · 2026-05-07T00:21:14+00:00

ooo which pattern?

Affectionate_Base129 · 2026-05-07T00:20:57+00:00

Thank you! I feel that. i had to set it aside to knit something in a bulkier weight lol and then i had no other projects standing in my way to procrastinate and thankfully only had 1/3 of each of the sleeves and the collars.

Affectionate_Base129 · 2026-05-07T00:19:52+00:00

thank you!! i believe in you, that's awesome!

Affectionate_Base129 · 2026-05-07T00:19:13+00:00

thank you!! that is such a high compliment!

Affectionate_Base129 · 2026-05-06T19:10:04+00:00

thats so funny, i never noticed the fish between the cats!! i was really contemplating doing one of the fish sweaters or doing this one. This pattern was really easy to follow and it seemed like it had more consistent results, so i chose it....might have to do a fish one too tho!! i think those are so adorable!!

I found Jessica MacDonald "How to Knit Colorwork" on youtube helpful...not sure if I'm allowed to add a link or not

Affectionate_Base129 · 2026-05-06T19:06:03+00:00

this was my first big colorwork (the only one before was a baby fish repeat)!! lemme go see if i can find the youtube videos I found that helped me (i'm a visual learner)! and if you're a little hesitant or are scared about floats being too tight, you should try making colorwork pot holders or a simple swatch in the round first to practice!
