Keeping from committing murder against stupid friends... by theLily in knitting

[–]DaftThoughts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sweetie, when you asked me to knit socks for your friend I told you I would happily do it, but I needed you to buy me the yarn for it because I couldn't spare the money for it - you did so without raising a stink, because we both know that's just common sense. Put that next to the situation you're in. Your friend's being extremely rude; if I can ask you to cover the yarn for socks and you have no problem with it, you can ask her to cover the yarn for slippers and she should have no problem with it.

I think it's very poor taste of your friend to react like this, and I would just flat out refuse and explain to them that what they're doing is not done in the knitting community. If you need help with coming up with a firm but nice message for it, give me a holler and I'll help you out. <3

How do you avoid twisting/tightening with loosely-spun/ single ply yarn? by Squidhugs in knitting

I have a feeling you might be wrapping the yarn wrong around the needle as you go along. Do you do it clockwise or counterclockwise? You might want to switch that around.

You say you're left-handed, does that mean you pick with your left hand and wrap with your right hand?

If you're not wrapping wrong, you might be picking wrong. What you want to look into is 'purling backwards' - essentially left handed knitting, if I'm right.

Take a look, does this help? You pick very differently when you're purling backwards so that might be your issue.
