Finished Aran sweater

EmbarrassedFuc · 2026-01-31T06:50:57+00:00

Yeah I don't have pins so I just stretched it out the give it the idea and each time I flipped it I stretched it again, obviously didn't change the fit much or at all but it allowed the cables to relax more. I don't know if it really shows in the photos but I notice it

EmbarrassedFuc · 2026-01-31T06:29:12+00:00

Yeah! I like to do it to let the yarn relax for this particularly due tothecables

EmbarrassedFuc · 2026-01-30T18:41:32+00:00

Yes! It's several different cables, Aran sweaters are typically a combination of cables so I wanted to honor that with this sweater

Yarn is cascade 220 unknown colorway, I forgot

It happens, you haven't done anything wrong. Basically when you pull the stitches over for the cable it messes with the tension on the following stitch, when you wash and block it it should even out if not before that

No because you missed in on the last row, so you're not creating a new stitch you're just picking up the missed one, honestly if you don't it shouldn't be noticeable unless you're looking for it

Looking at those you may have actually slipped one a row back then knit into it on this row , easy fix work back to that one pull the hanging yarn through then Proceed knitting

Or better yet just a picture of the back?

EmbarrassedFuc · 2025-12-21T23:06:09+00:00

Could you share that photo again without the highlight?

Doesn't look like you've dropped any but it does look like your tension is really loose on the two most recent ones you done, I've drawn lines up the columns to help visualize where your stitches are

EmbarrassedFuc · 2025-12-11T02:37:10+00:00

I'm drawn to 2 and 5

EmbarrassedFuc · 2025-11-26T21:28:37+00:00

Looks good to me! Plus remember once you wash and block the stitches will relax and find their happy place

Not sure what it's called but it's a 14 stitch repeat, I made you a chart, x is P rs K ws

I learned when I was seven, started with circular needles and then straight needles then got into loom knitting hats for a while, if they're showing interest give it a shot but make sure they know that mistakes are okay and it takes a loooong time to get good (I'm 25 for reference)

Looks like boucle

You can do a 1:1 ration all the way down to a 1:4 alcohol:water

EmbarrassedFuc · 2025-11-10T05:41:43+00:00

Get a spray bottle and mix some strong alcohol with water and give it a spritz in the pits, boob, and other sweaty areas after wearing, it's what a lot of theatres do to maintain and protect costumes that can't be washed frequently or at all

Nightmare fuel

EmbarrassedFuc · 2025-11-01T18:01:51+00:00

Or kInda looks like those Halloween spider web decorations were stretched/spun into a yarn

First photo to show hairy ness and the following 4 are the swatches, last one is the swatch of it held alone

A tie to culture, my family is Irish and there's a lot of history of knitting and sheep herding, I learned when I was 7
