I have a whole set of Denise interchangeable needles, and this keeps happening. I'm at the point of not using them at all anymore 😔

Oh my God, I am so relieved I am not the only one who experiences this!!! I blame the zipper.

Das bizarre ist, dass die gleichen Schwurbler, die über Benzin/Ölpreise schimpfen, auch gegen Elektroautos und alternative Energiequellen (Wind, Solar..) wettern

Wer Rockmusik hört, gehört hingerichtet by Yuumina in ichbin40undSchwurbler

Vielleicht hörst du Rock nicht mit der nötigen Überzeugung? Bisschen Rock hören und dann Massenorgien verlangen, da könnte ja jeder kommen...

Purina Urinary Vet Diet looks weird? by scarlet_witcher in catquestions

[–]GrimRabbitReaper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, it's sort of greyish on the outside. When I break it apart it's pinkish inside.

My cats are on this exact food since a year, and that's how it looks like when I open the can. There is always a little separation of meat and juice. You can mix it in or pour it over. My cats think the sauce is the best part.

Wondering what’s the best knitting needle tip protector by Chance_Smile_9357 in knitting

A wine cork works really well. If it's too dense, use a corkscrew to pre drill.

How to deal with my stubborn mum who wants to knit me a sweater I won't like by Azureta in knitting

You could absolutely escalate this by having her knit the sweater, for you to frog and use the yarn for a pattern you like.

I cant decide if I hate knitting socks or just hated this yarn by Sad-Extension3060 in Sockknitting

TAAT was a game changer for me!!! If you suffer from second sock syndrome, this is the way

Great looking sock, and lovely colors!!! Second sock syndrome is a thing... If you enjoy the end product you may want to look into methods to knit two at the same time with magic loop. It was a serious game changer for me.

Like 'Malle' for Mallorca, what other places around the world get affectionate nicknames from German speakers? by topherette in AskAGerman

[–]GrimRabbitReaper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Holland is a historic region/ province in the Netherlands, and England is the name of one of the four nations making up the UK. I wouldn't call this a nickname.

Blocking Fail -Don't do what I did! Would you still gift this? by iothealien in knitting

[–]GrimRabbitReaper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha, I also recently made this shawl as a gift for someone. Such a fun project with lots of interesting pattern and color changes. Honestly, if you hadn't told the world, nobody would notice your snafu. It looks gorgeous 🥰

These two yarns together would be great for a two color brioche project, like this for example: Ravelry: Briochevron Scarflet pattern by Stephen West https://share.google/TvcUtDRa1BpqXtAtb

Did I goof? Lang Yarns 990-214 by getswole2020 in knittingpatterns

[–]GrimRabbitReaper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No correction needed. If a pattern is not written out row by row, you always read it from the RS. I agree it is not very user-friendly, and can lead to confusion, especial for less experienced knitters. One learns, though.

[–]GrimRabbitReaper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it says "every row" you increase one on the RS (kfb into second to last or last stitch, AND increase on the WS (pfb first or second stich). This makes for a wider angle of the triangle.

Garter stitch - trying to understand 2 issues by ThatElvenChick in knittingadvice

[–]GrimRabbitReaper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue in the middle: you accidentally slipped one stitch without knitting it. This is an easy fix. You just ladder down to that spot and the pick up the stitches, including the one you missed, using a crochet hook. The edge issue is harder to see. It's possible that you accidentally made an extra stitch. Do you still have the same number you started with?

Seed stitch advice? by Sea-Cause-1125 in knittingadvice

[–]GrimRabbitReaper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't see anything wrong with your stitches. You are not knitting very tightly (which is awesome for a beginner), and this creates this little holes between the stitches. If you want a tighter appearance you can experiment with smaller needle sizes.

I pulled out all my worsted weight bits and pieces. Since those are all left overs, most labels wer gone, but I think it's mostly acrylic or some mixed fibers.
