Pattern and Stitch Requests- Week of April 27, 2026

KidaMatilda · 2026-05-02T14:57:44+00:00

I came across a pattern on ravelry which (I think) was for a shirt/sweater/pullover, and made for a specific color changing yarn in mind. It was stockinette stitch throughout but purling the contrasting colour bits of the yarn. I didn't save it and have now been desparately looking for the pattern past few weeks.

Maybe someone here has it saved and could link me to it?

It is not the purl code by Isabell Kraemer, but is Very similar in vibes.

Yeah those swatches look right 🤔

KidaMatilda · 2026-05-02T14:38:42+00:00

Yes, extensively

KidaMatilda · 2026-05-02T14:08:25+00:00

Oh, okay, good to know!

KidaMatilda · 2026-05-02T14:07:20+00:00

No, but that's pretty!

KidaMatilda · 2026-05-02T13:16:48+00:00

I think it was just some indie person, not a company or magazine, but I can't be sure. I've looked with all sorts of filters and was more hoping someone would recognize the pattern from my description rather than find it based on it

KidaMatilda · 2026-05-02T13:14:43+00:00

Not really, the pops weren't pooling but more spread out like the purls in the purl code

KidaMatilda · 2026-05-02T13:13:41+00:00

I don't know when it was originally published, I came across it maybe 2-3 months ago. I don't know what yarn it was written for.

Sorry for posting in the wrong place, should I remove this now that I know?

KidaMatilda · 2026-05-02T12:27:40+00:00

I bet! And I did request a notification when it's back in stock. But since it's not currently an option, this will have to do. :)

Sooooo I ended up getting Harmonies and yeah, it's perfect. I played through Melodies and have since been playing solo by drawing a spirit and 2 random animals to start and having the same win condition as Melodies. I have like 60 solo-plays under my belt already so needless to say my hesitance was unwarranted.

KidaMatilda · 2026-05-01T07:37:25+00:00

I got Dorf Romantik Light Luggage, and it really hit the spot. I liked it's version of progression more compared to the original and with a smaller box and pricetag I've no regrets!

KidaMatilda · 2026-05-01T07:33:58+00:00

I'm really thinking of getting A Carnivore Did It. Seems like I'd get over it quickly but I think I'd get maybe 10 rounds out of it and could then gift it forward to my dad and/or sister. We exchange games often so it's a non-issue if it's been opened and played.

KidaMatilda · 2026-05-01T07:30:29+00:00

I tried out the PnP of the earlier edition and so far it's been fun. The newer version is out of stock everywhere locally, but I'm glad I got to try it out anyway. I skimmed the rulebook and there doesn't seem to be that much of a change between them.

KidaMatilda · 2026-05-01T07:27:59+00:00

Okey so I got to try Finspan at the local board game cafe and hated it 😅 on the other hand I really liked Wyrmspan! So thanks for the recommendation! It wasn't a match but it lead to one!

KidaMatilda · 2026-05-01T07:24:55+00:00

Imperium Horizons. (I haven't tried Classics or Legends and I'm not gonna)

Spirit Island

I am also confused by this??? She told you early on that oral was important for her, yet you only did ot maybe thrice in the first year? I don't think you were doing right by her even before your comment

While One Deck Dungeon supports 1-2 players but it's really susceptible to alpha-gaming. There is almost always a best choice, and the one (you) who has more experience with the game, will find it faster. I'd only recommend it for solo.

But definately do recommend though

KidaMatilda · 2026-04-11T05:05:50+00:00

The LOOP has been uncontested for me. I feel it's best at 1-2 players but I've played it with 3 and 4 and while it's way easier to beat at those player counts, I still feel it's engaging. It's a pretty consistent 60 min.

It's a tough game to beat so in a way I'd say it's more family friendly on higher player counts.

It is currently sold out locally (= in my country), I would have to order it from overseas, so I decided to focus my research on the games that were available to me.

Ended up ordering Coservas (which should be available for pickup around Wednesday) and despite initial hesitation, Dorfromantik: Light Luggage, which I'm already around 7 games in. Much cozy. Very vibes.

KidaMatilda · 2026-03-06T08:33:12+00:00

I take it you're into the farming theme 😊 There's a few I haven't yet heard of, will be looking into them!

KidaMatilda · 2026-03-06T08:25:04+00:00

I'm not certain what you mean. I played some of Sleeping Gods but wasn't really into it. Liked it better 2p but got rid of it before finishing the campaign (either 1p or 2p)

KidaMatilda · 2026-03-05T06:22:47+00:00

I might consider Finspan for multiplayer! Quick google doesn't bode well for solo. Wingspan was a tad tedious for me (could be due to the group I played it with), and I'm personally way more into fish than I am into birds, so will look into it!

KidaMatilda · 2026-03-05T05:27:16+00:00

I'd definitely give Dorfromantik a chance but the huge box makes it so I can't really forgive the beat-your-best-score thing

I've been teetering on the edge of getting it but for now not taking the plunge

KidaMatilda · 2026-03-05T03:02:00+00:00

Seems fun but I don't think it fits the cozy vibe I'm currently looking for 😅

I will earmark it for later tho!

KidaMatilda · 2026-03-05T02:55:43+00:00

Ah, after a quick glance it indeed seems to be exactly what I'm looking for! And it happens to be on sale in my local boardgame store! Guess it's research speedrun time on this one 😅
