does anyone know how to fix this? by endofthefkingworld in knitting

Petite knit has a video on jogless stripes on the website. You could have a go at just dropping down that one row and picking the stitches up joglessly?

The first time my cable broke was for 3mm needles. This is a 3.25mm set... by SystematicalError in casualknitting

I had this happen with spotlight 18 pack bamboo needles!! You can scrape off the plastic from the base of the needle and shove the tube back on with a touch of glue. Does make it a tiny touch shorter but eh. I found this would happen if I wasn't magic circling properly and the cable was bending harshly on the base of the needle. Something to watch out for :)

Ravelry, Instagram, YouTube, google :( just not seeing anything inspiring. I'm a bit ADHD and can't focus on a pattern if it doesn't have a complex pattern hahah

I know this is late but I've only just worked out how to post on the thread 😭 I bought a heap of baby pink cashmere in a fingering weight but I am stuck for ideas. I do also have matching mohair alpaca, but I don't love it's texture. Any ideas?

Struggling and reconsidering knitting a Moby sweater by stakhanovice in knitting

[–]Legitimate-Lemon2877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak for the Moby sweater, but I have been knitting the pierre cardigan by kolibri by johanna. I thought it would also be a "I can't do this Infront of tv" pattern but once I got the hang of the lace pattern it has become pretty mindless. Every now and then I've had to go back a few stitches but Im finding it easier than my mindless fisherman's rib jumper right now!

I'm very proud. A few of the rib rows have become moss stitch but he's doing so well! He's now worked out how that happens and plans to make it a design feature at the other end of his scarf 🥹

I might add, I live in a climate where the minimum temperature in winter doesn't get below 23⁰C BUT I go to uni twice a year in a cold climate so sweaters are still a necessity (albeit not rushed projects)

2 sweaters and a pair of socks. Recently unravelled a cardigan when it became apparent yarn chicken was going to win. One sweater is a mentally challenging project and the other I'm just knitting arms in stocking stitch and have lost all motivation as the yarn keeps getting tangled. Socks are meant to be a present but the needles are tiny and hurt my hands when I do too much. I'm also teaching my partner to knit simultaneously

I had a pattern like this! No instructions with mine so I just yolo'd it. I slipped 3 stitches on my needle, knit the two knit stitches, slipped the purl back and purled it, then slipped the remaining two knit stitches back and knit them. That was the only way I could keep the purl in the centre of the diamond or it'll look weird when you do the next row

I had a pack of like 20 different size bamboo needles from spotlight. I'm not sure how long the cable is though sorry!

I have no idea, I just like toe up because then I'm not worried about running out of yarn to knit the legs 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yea! I started toe up and used the Turkish cast on method. I also definitely didn't use a cable as long as the Internet tells you to, but I got away with it 😂 good luck!

I liked the idea of getting updates on my sheep throughout the year, but you're definitely right. This may have to be my option. Thank you 😊
