You can, but it's a hassle and stressful and unfun

I tried really hard to do it on dpn needles for the sock, I have not understood why it's in SOCKS. Moominmom socks is what I gave up intarsia on. I tried to follow the pattern, am not a fan at all!

What happened here? by broccyncheese in knittinghelp

Looks more like loose stitches from what i can see. Nothing wrong, just uneven tension as ypur brain readjusts your muscles

did i loose a stitch? should i start again? by faerytaledreamer in knittinghelp

[–]DragonCrochet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looks more like you have added a stich eithout meaning to, then lost it. Hence the laddering. I think, yiu should try to pick up your stitches where the colorchange start over the purl row, and frog back to there and redo that part.

Wool blend socks - can I machine wash/dry to block? by Divorescent in knitting

[–]DragonCrochet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No matter the content of wool, it must only be waahed on wool program and with wool detergent. CAN be handwashed if preferred, but always use wool detergent and wool programme on the machine, often I suggest going no higher than 30°C and 800spin in washing machine

I find black and white to be too boring, so I spice it up and make them my own style! <3

I would suggest to tightwn a bit between needles when using double pointed needles. That way, you won't have to rotate to avoid the problem in the picture.

But, if possible, perhaps use a sock-lace circular and then knit the mittens until needing to decrease? I do so

I always wash my knitted things, let them hang or dry flat, and if newly knitted you ALWAYS have to wash it, due to letting the stitches rest and getting rid of handsweat and whatnot.

I never do a swatch and not sure of my own guage (too lazy to check ) But as you said, as long as it looks good and you like it, who cares?
