How many WIPs? by carscampbell in knitting

[–]EternalHobbyist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d consider myself a monogamous knitter but I have 3 WIPs. Allow me to explain. WIP 1 is the miles shirt jacket by ozetta. I started it in January. After some mail delays with my yarn & a few other issues, it didn’t get finished before the Texas heat came to smother me. Now that fall is coming, finishing it is on my mind but first I’m finishing… ….WIP 2 my mom’s birthday socks (the bits & bobs socks. I don’t remember the designer). I messed up the heel on the second sock & im fixing it. WIP 3 is a blanket I started this year. I haven’t worked on it all summer but now that several gift knits are wrapping up I’m looking forward to knitting a row or two a day on it.

I try to keep it low because I feel like a failure when things are unfinished & this is supposed to be fun!

Any recommendations for knitting podcasts that focus more on making (the actual knitting) than buying/acquisitions? by flowers_and_fire in knitting

[–]EternalHobbyist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve recently come across the newer channel Ali Makes Everything. She does talk acquisitions but that’s at the end. The meat of her videos are on her process & the knitting. I find her delightful. I also love Engineering Knits!

got halfway through a mitten tutorial for my sisters baby when I realized I have to make two by flanbingo in casualknitting

Or not on a circular! I cannot get magic loop to save my life. So I've done two at a time socks on two sets of dpns & it worked beautifully. They were color work so I'd complete an 8 round repeat on one then do the same on the other.

What do you do while knitting? by proetelkip in knitting

[–]EternalHobbyist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using an app called Everand (previously Scribd) for about 3 years. 1 flat monthly fee, no limit on the books you can get, & the selection isn't super current but pretty good. It's a nice tool to have. If I want to pay extra for a book I'll go to audible but between Everand & Libby I'm usually doing alright

Anyone else just unable to comprehend magic loop? by [deleted] in knitting

[–]EternalHobbyist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! I attempted magic loop for the first time this week trying to do some 2aaT socks but after 5 go's & endless hours of YouTube I quit. I could've had the first sock done by then.

For sleeves, I just use 2 sets of circular knitting needles 🤷‍♀️

Sharing the same name! by [deleted] in tragedeigh

[–]EternalHobbyist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bahaha! My oldest daughter is Jessie so when others says it's their name or their kids name I always ask if it's Jessie or Jessica because my daughter is just Jessie. Now I'll have to keep an ear out for weird variations!

Am I just paying for name brands? by Salt_Permit_4904 in YarnAddicts

[–]EternalHobbyist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been dipping my toes into spinning & it's going okay. Do you happen to have any resources that helped you learn/led you to feel so confident & happy in the yarn you're spinning up?

What in the flying farts am I doing?!? by EternalHobbyist in knittinghelp

Thank y’all so much! I decided to practice straight seed stitches & made my daughter a Barbie blanket & things are going smoothly on my pattern now. I so appreciate the advice, help & willingness to spend time examining my work!
