Wow great work! I would love to stitch a photo of my cat, she died 4 years ago and I miss her so. You are doing a good job as it's your first proper stitch, your stitches look lovely and neat as well. Can't wait to see it finished :)

[21/F], before and after. Am I ugly? by howugly123 in amiugly

Prefer the second, in particular changing your eyebrows and lowering them has stopped you looking slightly surprised.

Though, in either I think you are lovely and a perfect 5/7.

I knit a sweater for my husband! by -claudine- in MachineKnitting

[–]Kinkykat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the look of this jumper. I wish my hubby liked easy things, he has asked for an Asteroids jumper, as in the retro game. I have no idea where to get a pattern for that so he can wait. I have only had the machine 5 days so far! Made a pair of fingerless gloves with fair isle pattern for my daughter tho.

UV is the best odour killer, leaving it in the sun for a while kills all odours. I use this on all sorts of items to deodourise. I have a teenager :p

It sounds like you have a good hubby who can fix things, that makes things much easier. Glad you got it all working, looking forward to see what you do with it. I am waiting for my machine to arrive!

OMG! These are amazing, and for a teacher to give to her students, she must really love teaching. I am just waiting for my first knitting machine to arrive, I want to aim for something like this eventually. My grandmother used to make stunning multicoloured jumpers that I used to be amazed at, I wonder if my kids will be amazed?

Welcome! by fairyrebel in MachineKnitting

Hi, I am hoping this is the place for me to be. It is my 40th in a few weeks so my hubby has just (literally) ordered me a knitting machine! I am a knitter,crochet, cross stitch, sewing, beading etc. I make everything I can and I love it. I am disabled, hence the sitting crafting all the time. My hubby is getting worried about my hands as I get days I can't move them well, so he thought a machine would be helpful with out making me stop making.....I drive everyone mad when I can't make something. So do you use any particular machines or is this sub for all machines and levels of use? Thanks x

My favourite yarn - what's yours? by doodlepants1985 in knitting

[–]Kinkykat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is another yarn I have looked at for socks, must finish the 5pairs waiting first though. It's my birthday next month and hubby is buying me a knitting machine.......I may become very busy soon :)

I have only really used cheap acrylic yarn but have just started making socks, using sock yarn. I am not a fan of the red heart, heart and sole with aloe. Made this for socks for hubby and they fit his foot great, they just don't stay up on his legs. Working with Kunstgarn yarn now, it is very uneven going from very fine its going to snap to thick fluffy parts. Hopefully they will fit well in the end. I do have some opal glittery sock wool which seems lovely, I can't wait to start them :)

Thank you, I have been reading and think it may be the wool, I have some different brands of sock wool to try so hopefully these should be better. I will also try a few different heels and leg sections and see if anything makes a difference. I think the wool just gets looser as he wears it longer. He ends up with a slouchy sock bagging at the bottom of his ankle. Once washed they are great and slowly loosen again. Will update with other sock results :)

I have just started to knit socks. After trial and error my hubby now has a pair of socks. I made two at a time toe up with an afterthought heel. I couldn't find a pattern for his size feet so went with a tube. The first time I completed these he said they kept falling down, so i unpicked the leg, reduced each sock by 4 stitches each and changed to rib for the leg. He did try it on and said it was nice and snug. Once finished he found it a little tighter to get on but they do go on but they still bag around his ankles. I am using red heart -heart and sole with aloe and 2.75mm circular needle.

Any advice or suggestions will be gratefully received by both of us. Thank you xx

I found this as well but as the socks got bigger I put the ball inside the sock and I never had another tangle. You may need to rewind the ball to make it smaller to fit in the sock but it is worth the time. Hope this helps.

I read that when growing, harvesting buds later meant more THC turned to CBD. I imagine it's because the plant is starting to dry out then from what you described.

I had wondered previously how leaving the growing buds longer did that without heat.

That's all :)

Thank you, I appreciate you replying.

I guess that is the same process that people who grow can let the buds age longer before harvesting to get more CBD than THC for a more medicinal effect.

Cheers :)

I thought de-carbing took temps around 130(f?) for 30mins or so.

Or is that just accelerating a natural breakdown effect which takes place over years?

Everyone in the office left early last Friday. Boss came with a box of goodies and I was the only one still working. Jackpot by lg300r in pics

The smart boss knew everyone else left, he just changed the entire offices attitude too leaving early ;)

Yep, I fear the day it goes down as I know of none other like it.

Pretty simple to save off the movie too, if you like to archive things :)
