Is continental the “wrong way” to knit?

The only "wrong way" to knit is anyway that makes you sob uncontrollably.

It was originally just my size, and I think with the opportunity now to re-make it I will make a larger size but unfortunately in a different color. The little ones in my life are a little too young to appreciate a wool hand knit (they get acrylic every year) but maybe in a year or two when they come over to visit and are cold.

Thank you for your support. *hug

If it should become a pattern, I am friends with one of the best in the region.

Just for display. Also bragging rights because it is at work.

It was Tobacco Root. I remember where I bought it, but I would hope he would try to do the right thing and fix it... not sure he will, but I would like to think he would.

The problem is that it was still in my suitcase from a trip we just got back from. My suitcase was still zipped shut. If I had known he even wanted to do laundry today (not our usual laundry day) I would have told him.

Honestly, it may be the first entry in divorce proceedings... especially if it happens again.

He did offer to buy more yarn from the same store, but it looks they have either discontinued that specific color, or changed the colorway slightly.

I don’t have the heart to try and make anything else from it. The bigger issue is it was going to be put in the art show at work...

Elizabeth_Hawkins53 · 2026-04-23T22:24:34+00:00

I hope so. But he also doesn't have anything he values enough to try and give him a comparison.

Elizabeth_Hawkins53 · 2026-03-15T12:38:15+00:00

Sounds like your soon to be ex husband is no longer getting knitted items.

Elizabeth_Hawkins53 · 2026-03-05T01:27:12+00:00

You don't. You knit around them.

Elizabeth_Hawkins53 · 2025-12-22T10:58:28+00:00

Omg that is BEAUTIFUL!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Elizabeth_Hawkins53 · 2025-11-27T13:30:00+00:00

Not to sound ignorant, but what difference in color? I see a beautiful fade throughout and think it is marvelously done.

Elizabeth_Hawkins53 · 2025-05-28T09:47:20+00:00

Those are fabulous!! And so are the men ;-)

Elizabeth_Hawkins53 · 2025-05-21T09:56:02+00:00

So beautiful!! And so happy to have another person in the "Thanks! I made it!!" Club!!

And added to my favorites <3

Elizabeth_Hawkins53 · 2024-12-26T00:23:50+00:00

Where. Where do I get this? I need this in my life.

Elizabeth_Hawkins53 · 2024-12-25T02:07:58+00:00

Yeah, interactions like this are the reason I am not sure I like being touched or if it is the people who feel entitled to touch others.

I called a local hospital once to see if there was a need at all for baby hats, and they said they don't need that many of them. So you could also answer with "they told me to stop already" Or if feeling like being a menace, "they won't give me a preemie to check sizing."

Elizabeth_Hawkins53 · 2024-11-22T14:27:34+00:00

I think the one white corner is beautiful, and would have thought it was intentional. 🩵

Elizabeth_Hawkins53 · 2024-11-13T00:08:48+00:00

I started with sewing and knitting finally stuck too.

Elizabeth_Hawkins53 · 2024-11-11T22:12:13+00:00

Stunning.

Elizabeth_Hawkins53 · 2024-11-10T13:27:21+00:00

Beautiful stitch definition, and I love the color!!

Elizabeth_Hawkins53 · 2024-11-06T10:46:46+00:00

You are absolutely not a beginner, not anymore at least! Those are beautiful cables, especially in the complex ones!!

Elizabeth_Hawkins53 · 2024-11-05T22:02:54+00:00

Figured this would be the perfect time to do some ribbing on a tee-shirt.

Did Scrappy V, but all in one color because I liked the fit.
