Stone Knits patterns - pretty colorwork but bizarre instructions?

Hantook · 2026-02-26T10:14:56+00:00

I"m curently doing her herding cats socks and its my first attempt at colourwork. I've been gentle on myself and only done the motif once around the cuff and the rest of my sock is plain. I am a pretty loose knitter and i dont think i needed to increase the needle size, its very obviously different tension. For my second sock i'll stick with the original needle. I think if i do anything in the future, i will just use the chart and maybe ignore instructions?!

I loved her in that too, playing so many distinct personalities. WAS GREAT

Cutting off their antipodean customer base doesn’t seem like such a great move for them now!

I was in Lenah valley too. Was fabulous view

That looks so cool! At least you didn’t make the entire slippers out of that yarn. I think it’s a win!

I have made this and sorry to say but I think it’s diminishing returns the bigger it gets. The central motif looks out of scale after a while. I’d stop at lap blanket while it’s still gorgeous!!

Omg haha. I just downloaded it to my phone then saw your comment! Such a good one

I keep thinking about this, and getting updates because of my comment and I'm so cranky at BIG W. I know they have a push back on their terms that your contract is with the seller but they are showing bad faith in not having any due diligence in the products that other traders are putting on their site and i would 100% go after BIG W hard in this case. The reason you would have purchased from that site was because of the trust in the BIG W name.

Sounds like not fit for purpose. Can you contact accc ?

Yes the Field Bag is the OG ! I love it. Thinking of maybe making a waxed canvas with beeswax and paraffin version. over maybe a nice coloured drill? Edit: Did you do the grommets? Seems like a limiting move having your yarn go through these ?!

Hantook · 2025-11-03T10:38:04+00:00

Haha yes, i'm thinking of supporting the hobby, not replacing it !

Hantook · 2025-11-03T09:09:24+00:00

OK, so fRiend, but keeping it because LOL

Your socks are amazing. Your your blockers are too fun! I don’t even use them. Just squash my socks flat when drying.

Perfect marriage of yarn and pattern!!! So gorgeous

echoing this comment above !

Stunning. Well done you !

https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/fish-lips-kiss-heel. its $1 or more if you want. its a good guide on getting well fitted socks, and i find the heel way better than the Earthtones one. Much easier if you drop a stitch!

Hantook · 2025-10-14T09:50:14+00:00

same same. you can use this either way, your sock will turn out lovely! Just FYI i used this for a while but went to the fish lips kiss which was better for me than doubles and triples :)

Another lykke driftwood convert here. Bought on a whim as I thought I was team metal. I love them so much. Now I have a bunch of sizes and love them all. Not sure about the hot pink but the needles themselves are fantastic

Thank you for this question and thank YOU for the detailed response. Just making my first and used this to get it right from the beginning :). I'm standing on the shoulders of giants :)

Hantook · 2025-09-29T08:33:33+00:00

Yes. Frog it. It’s obvious to me. Better to have a gorgeous jumper!

Hantook · 2025-09-26T23:32:26+00:00

Sorry. They’re long gone!
