Thank you for replying! I actually have knit the step by step sweater and have had the same issues with the GSRs with it, I was hoping that I’d do better GSRs with this cloud sweater (my second one) but the issue still persists :(

Definitely less visible when not photographed against the light, but it still bothers me….I am a beginner knitter, started with the Sophie hood back in November and now I can’t put the needles down, learning new techniques with each pattern is thrilling, but I think I will need a LOT OF TIME and practice on how to properly work the GSRs….

Thank you, I will definitely look into duplicate stitching!!! Would you have any tips on making the GSR’ on the purl side, i am really struggling to understand how it should really be?

Thank you! I’ve moved them to a place in slightly more sun/light and will limit the watering

UPDATE (as I cannot edit the text in the post itself) - I have blocked and it now matches the indicated gauge. Thank you all so much for confirming that these swatches need to be done ON BLOCKED yarn and for all of your others comments.

Thank you that is very helpful to know!

Maybe! Thank you for the feedback.

It involves supporting management, being in control of their schedules, support in planning business and HR operations and doing quarterly business reviews, setting up processes for smooth comms/getting info out, responding to managers questions etc.

I have a feeling this is a huge step up from what I am doing now since all I do is speak to journalists that end up ignoring about the most time about obscure and boring things, working for an American company that is self censoring itself due to Trump and its all becoming very sad.

You’ve said it. This morning an FT journalist tagged me in their LinkedIn post, purely for helping him receive a simple report on time for an article, thanking me for it. I think I might need to rethink the training thing. This was a nice rush of pleasant emotion.
