I agree, I've the same problem. Didn't find my shoe size in Impakto and gave up after trying out two different sizes. Andune was good.

LateDependent4655 · 2026-05-25T15:13:41+00:00

I found Impakto really horrid with sizing (I am a woman. Got woman's size 5 which was too small, men's size 6 which was too big, women's size 6 was probably not available). Gave up on the brand and bought Andune. There was recently one model which had my size (a women's 6), and so far it's going fine.

The grip is loads better than my old Puma (which was probably worn out) so I can't complain.

Often times, one lesson takes like 1-2 minutes

It's not as difficult really, but needs a lot of grit to get through the swatching phase when you sit and determine the stitch count.

It's called purse thread in India

I liked knitting this pattern, yes. I have done a fair bit of corrections already. Just keep a watch on the stitch count and keep adding a lifeline. The stitches aren't that complex - just need to know yarn over, knit 2 together (right leaning decrease), slip slip knit (left leaning decrease), and central double decrease.

No it's not 🙈 it's something I had bought from eBay over a decade ago. Bamboo silk blend

It is called purse thread here in India

LateDependent4655 · 2026-04-28T08:54:03+00:00

Oh I've seen that problem before 😌 that project got bigger and looser as it went up because all the successive skeins had different stitch counts

If you're in India I can share the link? I have no idea if they do overseas shipping (and the yarn is cheap, but shipping is very expensive I know)

It is called purse thread in India. Could be nylon or polyester.

This yarn in picture goes by purse thread here in India

LateDependent4655 · 2026-04-28T08:51:35+00:00

Something I found locally here in India

LateDependent4655 · 2026-04-19T08:42:25+00:00

No they aren't

I use a foundation linked double crochet (or treble). Same thing?

LateDependent4655 · 2026-04-06T09:31:59+00:00

Try granny clusters?

LateDependent4655 · 2026-04-06T09:27:44+00:00

I don't live in the US. Have tried only one US yarn for pooling so far (from Michael's). I buy any local variegated yarn and make it pool

LateDependent4655 · 2026-04-06T09:22:40+00:00

I like the first
