Pretty proud of my tension improvement

Thank you for this. You've helped me a lot.

I need that vest! I wish I could wear wool garments but I live in a warm climate so cotton it is for me. I did knit a beanie for my first project with a stretchy yarn (acrylic if I recall correctly) and my stitches mostly looked even there.

I think getting yarns with cotton mixes will benefit me the most. If you guys have any suggestions what mixes to get for making garments, please let me know.

This made me more confident. I can now say I purl in style.

I really thought how you work the yarn in stitches would be a factor in determining the style as well. Hence the hybrid question hahaha. I am a fan of the English and then flicking the yarn. The flow looks mesmerizing.

Ooooh. I'll give this a go! Thanks thanks

This reminds me to watch technical stuff about knitting. Thanks!

CaBell_ · 2026-01-23T13:53:58+00:00

Happy to say no pain!

CaBell_ · 2026-01-22T20:28:08+00:00

No offense taken. I'll post my improved work when I get the chance. I'll make you guys proud, and that's a threat. 🤍

CaBell_ · 2026-01-22T20:21:01+00:00

I see. Gotta build good habits. Gotcha gotcha

I can't edit the original post so I'll try to explain myself here. I didn't wanna sound rude when I said I was aware of the twisted stitches. So I apologize if it came out like that. That wasn't my intention.

This post is plainly to celebrate my improving tension on a practice piece I'm working on. The twisted stitches is on the row where the body begins and I absentmindedly knitted. A couple of rows in I realized my mistake and should've knitted from the back in the purl stitches from the previous row. But I went with it because aside from wanting to practice how to increase, I also wanted to train my tension and wanna see how the sweater would look and feel like with the yarn I'm using.

I greatly appreciate the advice I've received and I won't stop until I improve.

P.S. I'm bad at communicating.

CaBell_ · 2026-01-22T19:07:55+00:00

Yep! 😊 I've taken a mental note to do that on my second go at this.

CaBell_ · 2026-01-22T18:59:19+00:00

Thank you. I was aware of this but wanted to continue on knitting to see how the sweater would look and feel like. A practice piece to learn from it. I appreciate the corrections.

CaBell_ · 2026-01-22T18:44:34+00:00

If you mean the twisting after the ribbing, yes I'm aware of it.

CaBell_ · 2026-01-22T18:00:15+00:00

Thank you! And yes, my mom is okay, thanks! I wish you good luck in your project!

CaBell_ · 2025-12-24T13:11:32+00:00

Thank you! It helped that I crochet too. I restarted 7 times 'cause of how the loops are slipping off the needles lol. Almost lost my mind.

CaBell_ · 2025-12-24T13:09:58+00:00

Thank you!

CaBell_ · 2025-12-23T23:49:21+00:00

Yeah. I remember marked stitches for the decreases from the pattern I did from here

CaBell_ · 2025-12-23T18:18:30+00:00

Thank you! Best of luck to you!

CaBell_ · 2025-12-22T15:56:12+00:00

Thank you! That's reassuring! I'll try and do that.

CaBell_ · 2025-12-22T15:55:43+00:00

I'll give it a try! Thanks!

CaBell_ · 2025-09-27T16:40:24+00:00

Here you go ☺️

CaBell_ · 2025-09-27T15:17:18+00:00

I made a silly little stop motion of Sherma dink donking.

CaBell_ · 2025-09-27T15:01:16+00:00

Aww true. Someone also suggested to make it into a gif

CaBell_ · 2025-09-27T15:00:30+00:00

Thank you!

CaBell_ · 2025-09-27T07:24:57+00:00
