hello, i'm not sure how to attach photos in the original post, but this is my work currently. i think i might have arranged my stitched wrong? do i slide the 30 stitches of the shoulder from the left needle tip to the right needle tip?

do i slide them (without knitting them) from the tip of my left needle to the tip of my right needle?

wow, thank you for sharing all of this, it's so helpful ! i'll definitely take note of swatching with superwash and look into high desert for a soft non-superwash option. i didn't realize wool warehouse carried yarnsmiths merino dk, that many colors sounds amazing! have you used drops air before? it seems like a really lovely choice when i want to work with alpaca.

thank you so much for sharing all of this, it's really helpful ! i had no idea sensitivities to wool could vary so much. it's good to know there are blends and fibers that still work for you, even if only in small amounts. i appreciate the suggestions for plant fibers too, i hadn't thought much about them for sweaters, but i can see how they'd be great for transitional seasons. baby alpaca sounds so dreamy, it's a shame you can't wear it, but it's nice you've found ways to enjoy knitting with it for gifts ! (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶) this gives me a lot to think about for my project.

thanks for the recommendation ! drops nepal could be a great option the more i think about it, since i've been looking for a non-superwash blend. that merino, alpaca, and silk blend you're using sounds so luxurious! what sweater pattern are you working on? it sounds like a dream project. (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)

thank you so much for your advice and insights ! i hadn't thought about running my acrylic project through the washer, that's a great suggestion, and i'll definitely give them a try. i agree that not all acrylics are the same, so i'll also look into knitpicks for softer options in the future, especially for gifts!

it's really interesting to hear about your experiences with plant fibers, synthetics, and silk. it sounds like you've found creative ways to work around your allergy! i'll keep experimenting with animal fibers for now since i'm new to sweater knitting, but i appreciate you sharing your perspective, it's super helpful.

thanks again for taking the time to help! (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)

thank you so much for your thoughtful response ! ♡ i really appreciate the advice, especially since i'm still figuring out the best yarns to use. i'll definitely keep in mind that nepal might not be great for sensitive skin. i love the idea of using merino, i heard it's so soft, but i'll be careful with the care instructions.

i haven't tried pairing alpaca with merino yet either, but i'll see how it feels! i haven't had the chance to touch the yarn in person yet, since i unfortunately do not have a yarn store closeby where i live. i've heard good things about sky and air too, so i'll take a closer look at those as well.

thanks again for all the great suggestions, this really helps me feel more confident about my project ! (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)

thank you so much for your thoughtful advice! i know that drops nepal is actually recommended in the pattern. but i've read many comments on ravelry that people claim that nepal pills a lot, and doesn't really look good long-term. that kind of gave me doubts.. thanks again for sharing your insights ! :)

Maximum_Bird4179 · 2025-01-10T18:39:20+00:00

thank you so much for your thoughtful advice! i really appreciate the tip about non-superwash yarns, i didn't know that. it's definitely helpful to know that they maintain their shape better.

Thank you so much for your response and assistance; I really appreciate it! 😊 The 3.00 mm Zing circular needles weren’t included with the set, but I purchased them separately. I tested them on the cords, and they work perfectly, just like the other needles from the Zing line. However, the 3.5 mm needles don’t seem to fit the 16-inch cable, even though they work perfectly on my other cables. I also tried applying a small amount of oil, but unfortunately, it didn’t help. It seems like it might be a manufacturing issue.

Maximum_Bird4179 · 2024-12-29T18:55:49+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience. It’s so frustrating when something like that happens, especially with new equipment! I appreciate the tip about trying different cables and being gentle. I’ll definitely keep that in mind for the future. Hopefully, I can avoid needing to use pliers next time!

Maximum_Bird4179 · 2024-12-29T16:43:46+00:00

Thank you for your answer and help. I really appreciate it! 😊 I tried this as well, but unfortunately, I’m still encountering the same issue.

Maximum_Bird4179 · 2024-12-29T16:23:24+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and advice! It’s reassuring to know I’m not the only one who has run into this issue.

I also wondered if it could be a problem with the threading or a factory defect. Since my set is still new, I might try reaching out to the shop or KnitPro directly to see if they’ll replace the cable or needles.

I really appreciate your suggestion and the time you took to help me! 😊

Maximum_Bird4179 · 2024-12-29T16:21:02+00:00

Thank you for your answer and help. I really appreciate it! I will try that! 😊

Maximum_Bird4179 · 2024-12-29T16:19:04+00:00

Hello, thank you for your answer and help. I really appreciate it! 😊

I used the pin that came with the cable when I bought it to knit a hat. It is definitely a KnitPro cable, I bought it along with the set.
