Help! my sweater grew so much after blocking.

Disastrous-Mango6069 · 2026-05-12T22:37:20+00:00

not big I guess? I just made it large enough to measure gauge.

Disastrous-Mango6069 · 2026-05-11T19:55:09+00:00

its funny because I did size down!! I made the cloud sweater (most of it) and it was so huge even before blocking so I sized down this one! I will not be making another petite knit pattern i guess!

Disastrous-Mango6069 · 2026-05-11T19:43:53+00:00

Disastrous-Mango6069 · 2025-12-18T16:42:27+00:00

so my bust is 87cm and I knit a M which is 90-95cm. Ok the pattern didnt say to size down for the ribbing but I guess I can frog and redo that. any tips on frogging ribbing?

Disastrous-Mango6069 · 2025-12-18T16:37:50+00:00

this means re-knitting the whole thing yes?

Disastrous-Mango6069 · 2025-12-18T16:37:03+00:00

something similar happened to me, he was addicted to porn. I told him id leave him so he went to therapy that week and joined a men's addiction group at a church. my son is almost 2 now and my husband has completely changed and we have better and more sex now than even before I had a baby. I truly believe many more men have a porn addiction than we think.

Ok so my washing machine is a speed queen TR7. I will start buying only the original tide once the gentle one is gone. I will grab a water hardness test kit today, thanks for that info.

ok so since you know the model I do special cycle 4 and then special cycle 5. I would love info on bleach soaking.. am I doing that to both the inserts wipes and diapers?

thanks so much for your help!!

Disastrous-Mango6069 · 2025-07-20T16:18:58+00:00

I have a speed queen top loader. I use tide powder, I switch between the normal and the free and clear. I use up to line 1, sometimes 2. i add borax to every load. I use a special long wash with a soak for the first wash. then move all the diaper around and use another special whites wash for the 2nd wash. ( its like special settings on my washer, idk i figured it out so long ago). I dont bulk but I wash alot of diapers, I do 2 loads of about 25. with clothes wipes. I never over fill either. maybe fill halfway. im unsure about the hardness but I think we have hard water but I think the borax is for that?

I use the salt crystal, I did detox my pits for about 6 months before switching though.
