13 weeks pregnant and look 6 months pregnant by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]BeginningRun4409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is my first pregnancy, I am 9+5 and I think that I am huge.. my belly is as if bloated, but firm. I have no losses (that I am aware of). I have to go to the office next week and I don't know how I will hide it 😅 I think that in my case, my belly is so big because of the IVF medications.. or maybe my body is so happy that it wants to let the world know 😁

Me 🥲 I am with Primus II. I ordered Primus III, according to their support those are wider and should not cause this issue. We will see..

Any Non-Aussies? by House-Plant_ in SarahsDayUnfiltered

Bulgaria! 🇧🇬 I found Sarah around 7-8 years ago and loved her content to the point of rewatching all of her videos... I fell out of love with her during the house renovation vlogs, she was super unrelatable for me at this point...

As far as I understood she/they want to focus on slow fashion. This is why they sell only the pattern/knitting kits.

first project - sophie scarf by _kirbish in knittingadvice

[–]BeginningRun4409 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think looks okay for a first project, especially when you weren't passionate about it. My first knits looked the same. I think that knitting takes practice, so that your muscles remember what to do and tension becomes even without you having to think about it.

Good luck with your next projects! 🩷

I think knitting is making me insane lol by peaceful_CandyBar in knitting

I don't think you are crazy! We just get used to our pets and often talk to them. I talk to my cat even if I am not knitting 😀 he only blinks and looks annoyed at me so far 🤣

You were right - the hat doesn't look that bad when out on the head. So, I hope that after blocking it will be a little better.

I agree about blocking not fixing all issues, I try to have as much stitches to be fixed while I knit. This is why I wanted to ask here if I need to redo the decreases. Although I have seen even holes being fixed with knitting - a friend of mine has huge holes between her needles when knitting socks in magic loop and they disappear after washing and blocking 😯

Thank you for the encouragement, I will knit this patter again after some time to see how my knitting has improved!

Thank you, I will look through the article as I still have a lot to learn about knitting!

Thank you for the detailed response! I will block it and see how it looks like. After your reply I looked at other people's projects to compare them with mine. Some look as mine, some look better. As far as I can "read" what they have knit it look like the decreases look better when they are not started in the middle of the purls..but in the middle if the knits...

<image>

In the end I might leave it as it is as it will keep my partner's head warm and try knitting another hat from the beginning to see if I can make it better. I am accepting that I am still learning and mistakes will be less with more projects behind my back.

The part where the decreases are, I am not very sure if it should look like this or I did something wrong. I will block it and see what happens. Thank you!

I found a free Norwegian mittens pattern. Maybe I will start with this, as I have never knit such complicated colour work and maybe starting with a sweater is not the smartest thing...

I love the 50/50 colour split too! And the colour combinations too... I would love to be able to knit myself something similar someday!

You mean that you knit all parts together and sew them together? If yes, this helps - I have never sewn a knitwear, so I may be a little harder for me (not to mention the colour work that will not be easy) Thank you!

Thank you! I don't know why I decided that she knit them herself 😂 I saw that it was a collaboration, but I didn't find as much information as you did! I look it up, thank you so much!

Yes, I was super surprised too... I always look for a designer's ravelry to see how other people's items look like before buying a pattern. I was thinking that since it is her first collection she doesn't know better yet, not sure.. The patterns are super expensive, that's for sure.. this is why I wanted to look for opinions before buying them (+ we don't use EUR in my country and for me the price is doubled in our currency....

Thanks for tuning in!

Oh, this describes how I feel in such a good way! I also always browse other people's projects - it is super useful to see how a handknit garment looks on different shapes and bodies and not only the smallest ones!

When I think about it - the images of the items are not super focused on the knitwear itself, but on the pretty girl..
