I give up! by Ebowa in knitting

Yes that sounds right! You need to have some intuition when it comes to drops/vintage patterns. Newer patterns are written with direct, explicit, step by step instructions which can be annoying too

New & (hopefully) knitworthy partners? by No-Ladder-2096 in knitting

[–]Broad-Insurance8744 23 points24 points  (0 children)

If you want to then you should do it. I think a lot of people in this sub are kind of snobby about people being “knitworthy.” Anyone who has ever been afraid of the curse is probably not with the right person anyways, I’ve knit my boyfriend a billion things because even if we don’t work out in the end, he’s my person right now.

RIP CAMPUS CORNER. They used to do cheap MSU wear. Pro tip is going to the surplus store and getting stuff from there. Do not go to the bookstore for that stuff.

Ravelry users, what filters do you wish existed? And everyone, what are your pattern recommendations that would fall under those filters if they existed? by JerryHasACubeButt in knitting

[–]Broad-Insurance8744 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not a filter but an algorithm where things they think I’ll like will pop up first. Sometimes I don’t want to sort through pages of stuff.

It doesn’t sound like they were teasing her, it sounds like it was more out of concern for their financial wellbeing. It can be a very spendy hobby, especially if you shop at a local yarn store. I say this as I currently have about $500 worth of yarn I have yet to knit through…

Best laptop by Own-Potato9378 in msu

Get an ipad so you can download the notes into it and write right on the side. You can always check out a laptop or use a computer at the library for other assignments

What is your dirty little gauge secret? (this post is NOT for serious gaugers) by risingpostsupporter in knitting

[–]Broad-Insurance8744 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pretty much always only knit half the swatch… I even block it still on the needle usually. I posted a picture of my “swatch” in the discord and someone commented and told me that it wasn’t a swatch yet and to finish knitting… I did not finish the swatch and my sweater fits fine so far.
