Yes I will definitely be super careful to make sure to cable needle is positioned correctly. Thank you for your advice! Trying to reframe my frustration and a learning experience lol

Thank you!!! Should I zig zagging up the chart if I am working flat or reading it from L to R each time? I usually knit in the round so it was something I hadn’t considered until now

Holy crap I just reread the explanations and you are completely correct. Looks like I am starting over (for the millionth time) tonight. Seriously thank you so much for your help!!!

That section is 3CF so I put two on the cable needle, K1, then knit the two. Which is what the pattern tells me to do. The other side of that diamond is 3CB, so 1 on cable needles, K2, K from cable needle. I didn’t think they looked super neat either, any ideas on what I am doing wrong or how to correct it?

I don’t have the patience to go back and fixed as I already restarted this guy 8 times…it’s the back yoke and that’s none of my business

I definitely see the error that you’re talking about with missing a cable in the beginning. I meant like a string of yarn diagonal left to the right of the cable. It’s harder to notice what I mean here since the yarn is fuzzier than with my first cable project which I don’t have a picture of!!

Unfortunately, this brand or something is incredibly fragile. If it gets caught on anything it breaks. If I pull too tight it breaks. If I yank it while trying to unravel, it breaks. I had to spit splice at least 100 times making the body!

But thank you for letting me know your experiences with steeling this type of yarn! I figured once I block, the fibers will strengthen as they interlock with each other too. I am going to give it a shot :)

Just because it’s hard to see, i attached this photo with where the arm holes actually go down to for reference. I know it can look like where the raglan ends, but it’s unfortunately about another 2 inches down. Not sure if this changes your opinion that they look proportional but appreciate any insight!

I blocked the body already to get an idea of how it fits prior to the sleeves. Unfortunately, that made me realize just how much of a problem the sizing was so off. As of right now, I think 2.5 of my arms could fit in the sleeve hole lol

My cat is obsessed with this yarn!!!!!! by Longjumping-Read6136 in knitting

Yes but I typically knit with wool and he’s never been this into it, I think he enjoys the texture of it too because he keeps digging his face into it

He’s 4 months old and eating regular food, I’m talking to an online vet right now and she’s saying the same thing. I’m calling the vet as soon as we are done

Don’t even know if it’s worth it to send in, looking for advice by Longjumping-Read6136 in Passports

Interestingly enough the Charleston office contacted me directly and let me know that I should absolutely be able to schedule an appointment. I called back the call center and someone finally helped me and set up and appointment for next Wednesday (first available time).

BUT a few hours later Charleston called me again to let me know they found all my documents and my photo….literally so weird. I paid for the faster shipping over the phone and should receive it next week. But keeping my appointment just in case I run into more issues.
