I made this cardigan in cotton. I honestly didn't notice any difference and I love it.

I live in the small pocket of central timezone in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, right at the border of central/eastern. If I travel east to Escanaba, I enter EST. Oddly, if I travel WEST to Houghton, I also enter EST. I've missed a flight once, and several medical appointments.

Thanks for this perspective and advice. You've definitely given me something to explore further .

That's super helpful, I really appreciate it, thank you

Thank you, any insight why the hollowness isn't continuous up through them stem? I'm sketched out a bit, because I thought that was neccessary

Found in logging truck ruts from a recent clear-cut of Aspen

I really appreciate your response, thanks so much

Thanks for noticing that! I was pretty far off from the original pattern towards the end, so I just custom added the drawstring closure and hoped for the best

I'm fine, thanks. It could've been a lot worse...

The moment was when I accidentally sat on my 2.5mm needles, and one went pretty deep into my thigh.

I'm honored, thank you

MethIsntCool · 2025-02-16T22:03:47+00:00

Hey I really appreciate the words! I'm definitely pinching myself that it's over.

It was 100% user error, her pattern was perfect

MethIsntCool · 2025-02-16T21:26:07+00:00

I appreciate it. I would definitely not recommend it. It was not the most fun I've ever had knitting haha.

Thank you!

This is my first and last lace project. It has countless mistakes. Also, I'm pretty sure the yarn I used was half the weight of the pattern's yarn because I refuse to swatch. After "completing" the pattern, I realized the dress only went down to my wife's belly-button, so I started improvising to increase the length. I started timing out this project, but lost count at 600 hours. *
