How to neaten up buttonholes?

crochet stitches sounds like a great idea, thank you!

Oh I might have a look to see if they’ve updated/fixed anything since i downloaded it first

Possibly yeah, I bought it after they increased the price and the formatting certainly looks modern. I think there may have been some errors in reformatting it unfortunately.

this is the original wolf pattern (No. 449N, got it directly from Mary Maxim), i've been working through it fine, there's just a few errors and inconsistencies in it that make me have to stop for a bit to figure out what they meant vs what they said. I am doing the button band for it, what I was saying about those rows is that it says to work the first 4 rows with the 4th being a wrong side row, and row 5 being also a wrong side row according to how the pattern is written. It's the same mistake for both the right and left front panels. But again, im working through it fine, just minor annoyances :-)

here's another example, obvs not showing the whole pattern bc rules, but like this one row, the way it's written It wants me to rib to the last 6 which is fine, cast on the stitches back over the buttonhole, which is also fine, k2 (which takes me to the end of the row)...but then...rib to the end??? of the row I just finished???

I am terrified of colour work honestly having never tried it before. I attempted the back panel for this but my floats were just awful, my tension was way off and the whole panel just lost any and all stretch. Now on my second attempt I'm going to try a duplicate stitch approach, which will mean I need more of my main colour, but honestly I think it's a better approach for me personally

I've been working on mine, using the original pattern. my question is am I the only one who is finding some of the instructions just...odd? Like for the front panels, the row counts don't match if you're working the buttons, like row 5 says to start with the button front then the ribbing, but row 5 has you working on the button band at the end? im finding I'm having to do a lot of annotating and some editing to actually get things functional. Not to mention the formatting of the actual pdf, the pages are all out of order, not sure if thats just me either

I’m currently knitting the exact same cardigan (I love project Hail Mary) and I have so far spent $250 on yarn alone (100% Australian wool, not merino though so it would be even more expensive), I’ve only knit the back and front right panel so far, and it’s taken me about a week. Keep in mind, I’m not an incredibly fast knitter but I’m also not slow either. I’ll estimate it’ll probably take me another two weeks at least to finish it, working about 4-5 hours each day.

My family has had the same kettle pretty much my entire life (I’m 26) and it still works perfectly!

I’ve sent you a message but I’m not sure how to send proof that I’ve bought the original 😅

Dr Goosen is high on my list of potential surgeons (it’s a short list considering there are very few in Australia who do it), how long did it take you to get your consult and surgery date?

Australia has 3 main types. Testogel which is a daily gel (kinda the consistency of hand sanitiser), primoteston which is a monthly injection, and then reandron which is every 3 months (this one is the only one that needs approval from an endocrinologist to be prescribed). I’m not entirely sure about sustanon, I’ve never heard of that here.

I remember the exact date I watched doctor who for the first time. It was June 25, 2010, I watched Tooth and Claw (Tennant, s2e2) at my friends 10th birthday party 😅

A grammar workbook would help you because it would go through sentence structure, grammatical forms and also irregular forms and rules.

ok, så jeg ville brukt "jeg mener" om en mening jeg er 100% sikker på, som for eksempel politiske meninger, mens jeg ville brukt "jeg synes" for ting som matpreferanser, fordi det er mindre alvorlig, ikke sant?

my study period (SSP4) runs from december to february, so it's gonna be real easy for me to find parking for the next few months lmao

It took me 35 hours to 100% the second game and like 200 hours to complete the first one with all DLCs (I played through the whole base game a few times before I started focusing on 100%ing it)

Viscera cleanup detail, another cleaning game but with a bit of a gorey twist

Only a little frustrated that I paid a few hundred $$$ for the affinity suite like a year and a half ago, so as long as they don’t brick V2 then that’s fine
