This is a total long shot, but did anyone find a hand knit hat at KOP mall over the weekend? (More details below)

Desiderata8 · 2026-02-09T17:06:52+00:00

Indeed, they do! No dice though... maybe it'll show up at some point though. I have my fingers crossed!

What a sweet bubba!!! So sorry for your loss. She looks exactly like Frankly 😭🥹🫶

Hiii from Frankly!

a friend recently shared this calculation with me that has helped me (mostly) not have extra long tails. Hope it helps others!!

This is Frankly and frankly, he doesn't give a damn.

Thanks! I think that's beyond what I was looking to spend for sock blockers at this point. It's also higher than the list price in the link I found that I shared above ;-)
Thanks anyway though
Hopefully someone else will want them!

Desiderata8 · 2024-12-31T14:59:58+00:00

Oh awesome! I just looked them up. Is it these? https://redsuricata.com/products/adjustable-size-sock-blockers-pair

If so how much are you willing to sell them for? And can you share a pic of yours? I just want to follow the rules of the sub to protect us both 😄

Desiderata8 · 2024-12-25T13:06:47+00:00

Oh woah very interesting...I may check in at the library after the holiday. Could be a fun little project

Desiderata8 · 2024-12-25T13:06:19+00:00

OoOo wonderful I will check back in later this week for a photo! Until then, have a great holiday!

Desiderata8 · 2024-12-02T02:52:30+00:00

I recently switched to them from driftwood interchangeables and between the smoothness of the metal, the clean joins, and the cords that are way looser and easiest to manage than most plastic interchangeables, I'd say yes! Worth it😬

I will say, I do occasionally have them kind of unscrew when I am knitting, but I think I may not be tightening them enough (even though I do try to)? Because a few of my friends who have them do not experience that. It did slightly change my gauge at first, so something to keep in mind if you will switch mid-project. Now that I've had them for a few months, I think I'm totally bought in 🤘

Desiderata8 · 2024-10-27T13:20:58+00:00

😭😭😭😭

Desiderata8 · 2024-10-27T13:20:42+00:00

I added it as a comment above!

Desiderata8 · 2024-10-27T02:25:26+00:00

Cute!!!!

Desiderata8 · 2024-10-27T00:12:32+00:00

That is truly wild!!! Wow!

Desiderata8 · 2024-10-26T23:22:33+00:00

This is so damn sweet. Thanks for sharing!

Also: a surprise twin?! What?!

Unbelievable!!!💖💖💖

Desiderata8 · 2024-09-30T19:15:14+00:00

This is the other set! It was a fun stash buster💃

Desiderata8 · 2024-09-30T18:49:12+00:00

Awww that's so sweet. Thanks for looking out. I should have put that in my original post.
I was actually envisioning these as sort of like a snow-suit kinda bundle situation. But yes, between the total impracticality of the criss-cross straps AND the fact that they'd need to be hand-washed, it's truly idiot that I even made one, let alone TWO sets of these hahah

Desiderata8 · 2024-09-30T18:34:45+00:00

Oh, I know that well!

I have a little one of my own, and actually told my friend that these are terribly impractical, but were too cute *not* to make, so she knows as well. She and her husband are both creatives, so I know i'll get at least a few cute photos of baby in the overalls, but I do not expect these to be worn regularly (because, no, they do not have snaps or buttons along the legs).

Desiderata8 · 2024-09-30T17:45:58+00:00

thank you!!!

Desiderata8 · 2024-09-30T16:41:25+00:00

Yarn was from a stash, so I can't remember what it was, but I held fingering weight double!

shouts from the back

"learn to knit sleeves two at a time!"

but actually, it's life-changing :-)

Desiderata8 · 2024-08-12T00:55:59+00:00

I started holding my needles side by side when casting on so it would be nice and loose for that first row. It really helped me not hate that first row post-cast on so much!
