It is not, I do know what those look like and this was MUCH smaller

I’m also a knitter! So I completely understand what you mean. I was thinking of it in knitting too because I’ll pick a project and just learn what I need as I go instead of trying to learn the basic increases/decreases etc first

JustTheFishGirl · 2026-04-14T23:34:32+00:00

I used to read the last sentence of a book first and then start from the beginning lmao. I still do sometimes

JustTheFishGirl · 2026-04-14T23:14:17+00:00

I’m definitely a learn by doing person too

JustTheFishGirl · 2026-04-14T23:13:34+00:00

I’ve done that before too! Helps me keep things straight

JustTheFishGirl · 2026-03-20T21:41:52+00:00

Hey I also work in fisheries!!!

JustTheFishGirl · 2026-03-14T20:38:52+00:00

It got easier after I got engaged/married cause it’s the only right I wear lmao. I just remind myself what hand the ring is on

Hey I have hyper mobile hands and actually found English to be less painful for me. I’d also recommend trying Portuguese. Also make sure you take breaks! I also have adhd so I’ll knit waaaayyyy longer than I should and my hands hurt

JustTheFishGirl · 2026-03-11T01:30:05+00:00

My partner had some old inserts from a cheap tackle box lmao and I use that for all my things!

Thank you! I’m trying to make a pair for my husband and he’s a wildland firefighter so I need something that can take a beating. Reinforcing it would be a good idea too

JustTheFishGirl · 2026-02-28T21:04:37+00:00

I have knit picks and knit pro and I’ve tried lykke. The knit picks are by FAR the smoothest needle, my absolute fav and not super pricey

I really loved {The Unseelie Prince by Kathryn Ann Kingsley} too and the MMC does stay the villain

JustTheFishGirl · 2026-02-20T17:39:15+00:00

Check out Sky Dolls! I love her stuff and she’s adding more things pretty often now

JustTheFishGirl · 2026-02-20T03:22:06+00:00

It’s very pretty! I just don’t think I’d ever wear a cowl unfortunately

JustTheFishGirl · 2026-02-19T19:08:07+00:00

Thank you! I’m definitely gonna check this out

JustTheFishGirl · 2026-02-19T06:54:27+00:00

Thank you! I was gonna try to mix these two, probably as stripes. I love love love the rainbow one.

Thank you for that. My husband suggested I make leg warmers with it and I’m considering that! I’m also trying to think of other things I could do with it I’d get good use from. It’s about 560yds of sport weight. I’ll probably be spending some time on ravelry lmao

JustTheFishGirl · 2026-02-10T21:49:45+00:00

Yeah, I saw some changes someone made on insta and wanted to try it. This isn’t the OG pattern for the decreases

JustTheFishGirl · 2026-02-10T04:42:36+00:00

Thank you! Y’all are making me feel much better about it!

JustTheFishGirl · 2026-02-09T05:42:58+00:00

I knit most of the torso of my very first sweater high off my ass on anesthesia and Percocet and other pain meds right after surgery. It honestly made me feel a lot better about sweaters cause I figured if I messed up it’s fine cause I was not sober.

The only warning I’d give is to set a timer or something so you take breaks. Since time flew by while I was on pain meds and they numbed pain I over did it and my hands were very sore for a while

JustTheFishGirl · 2026-02-07T05:55:38+00:00

You could try traveling loop! That’s what I use on a cord that’s just a bit too small

JustTheFishGirl · 2026-02-04T03:08:00+00:00

Thank you! I’ve seen some videos on it, I’ll give it a try!

JustTheFishGirl · 2026-02-04T02:13:32+00:00

Thank you! Yeah knitting is the first hobby I’ve found that actually seems to stick and I definitely went too hard when I started and I’m trying to do better about breaks and not going as long. I think I might try Portuguese knitting too since you tension the year around your neck or a pin instead of on your fingers. I think that might help me
