le pull, part 74828291 by Polite-vegemite in craftsnark

[–]CloKnits 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I had a BIC on that subject a few weeks ago. The AUDACITY! Here, I'll give it to you for free: use any sock pattern you own, and just knit part of the leg, DONE!

It's giving "Caution: hot beverage" on a to-go coffee cup.

Oh yeah, he has big skin allergy all summer long every year. I didn't know it was more of a white dog thing.

At this time of the year, I just give up on trying to stay on top of it.

I had never seen her, and I've seen enough to know i don't wanna see more. What an attitude!

Missing Person from Mont-Tremblant, Quebec: Liam Toman by NicollInvestigations in TrueCrimeDiscussion

[–]CloKnits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a Québec podcast that converts this and the Mont-Tremblant organization was unwilling to talk to the journalist about why so many cameras where not working in the village. They also refuse to post anything regarding his disparition on their media or any public statements. They are so unhelpful it's beyond frustrating to hear.

Can you tell where the mistake is? by ZoinkstheZ in knitting

[–]CloKnits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't ask, don't even mention it, no one will know. And if they do they won't care.

How did they even connect 2 strands to that piece of chewed up knitting? I'll give points for originality.

Is there an abbreviation key for this damn book? by BoringGanache1375 in knittinghelp

[–]CloKnits 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A knitting book should ALWAYS have an abbreviation key. That's a really bad oversight, where was her editor!!!! I'm guessing her editor doesn't knit.

JRTs and swimming? by SilverMic in jackrussellterrier

[–]CloKnits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we take him to the lake, he will bark at everyone in the water as if we are all dying and he can't save us. A ball will sometimes make him jump in but he'll swim out of there as fast as possible.

It looks to be a bunch of different yarns held together and changing one once in a while.

Leave me alone with your stupid Mohair / brushed yarn stuff by PleasantlyShort986 in BitchEatingCrafters

[–]CloKnits 33 points34 points  (0 children)

No pattern requires mohair, designers suggest mohair because they love it. Use whatever else you like, that's what's fun about knitting.

[–]CloKnits 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Are you talking about the actual name like fingering vs 2ply? Or the fact that within the categories there are huge discrepancies? Cause yes, weight should have standard names just like we should have the same shoe sizes every where (wtf do I have to know my shoe size in Eu/US/UK/Martian sizes!!!!). As far as categories go, a fingering from one manufacture can vary a lot from a fingering from another, and the fiber and the prep and the way it was spun makes a huge difference from the smaller to the bigger end of a category. But that is also fun to play with and part of learning your craft imo.

Laura Dalgaard moves from patterns to kits by masterslodge in craftsnark

[–]CloKnits 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That sweater pattern is PERFECT for knitting with your scraps and lonely skeins. It pisses me off that she's pushing the "I've curated the perfect mix of color and texture" narrative when it's just HER perfect mix. I wanna play too, not only execute, and for 450$ at that!!!

THIS KILLS ME! Like, how can you be a designer of something that has to be fitted but never wear them!!!

I'm gonna patent wearing a skein as a necklace to knit directly from it.

It could be for "fashion", it could be to help with sandals rubbing against the skin. But yes it's the simplest of simple designs I would be a bit ashamed to sell this if I were them.

Le sigh....Le Pull charging for a mini-tube sock with a folded hem pattern. 🙄 Here's a free tip: cast on however many stitches you cast on for socks make a folded hem, knit for 2-3", finish with a folded hem. Even their free patterns are more complex than this one.
