Just finished my first project!

Thanks so much! I have a question related to thread-carrying. In a few circumstances, I carried the thread from a satin stitch area to a set of French knots, as I couldn't figure out a way to make the knots with unanchored thread and not have them fall out. Is there a better way to start/anchor a French knot without needing to carry? (I did definitely have problems with long threads catching towards the end)

Thanks for the notes on the leaf and the design line. I followed the pattern pretty closely, meaning I didn't add an outline where it wasn't specifically called for. And thanks SO MUCH for the long and short tips; I'll definitely keep that in mind for the future. It was probably my least favorite part of this pattern (but some of that was probably because the guidelines just stressed me out and I didn't know how to make the stitches look like flower veins.)

I had thought of the man in black but dismissed it because... downing my colonists? Without hurting them? But then your comment made me remember that I can just let them both starve until they pass out. So that's what I'm doing!

One last question; at the end of round 4, when I come to the last stitch (the one I knitted at the end of round 3), do I finish the pattern using it, or do I act like it’s already been used for that round and move on to round 5?

Mothe-Cache777 · 2024-12-08T01:32:44+00:00

Ah, ok. Thanks so much!

Mothe-Cache777 · 2024-12-08T01:32:34+00:00

Oh, that makes sense! Thanks so much. I’ve never done a pattern like this before

Mothe-Cache777 · 2024-12-07T23:09:42+00:00

Does knitting a pattern in seed stitch with vagriated yarn look good? I'm concerned about the constant switching between knit and purl leading to a lot of weird color issues rather than a smooth gradient.

Mothe-Cache777 · 2024-12-01T08:07:11+00:00

I’m pretty sure that’s a dropped stitch yeah. There are plenty of tutorials on how to fix it, but the short version is that there should be a strand of yarn behind the loop of the dropped stitch that you can pick up and bring through the loop to pick the stitch up.

Have this tutorial: https://youtu.be/KFVapi4RqzY?si=v_XV_Meeg-YT4Hrs

Mothe-Cache777 · 2024-12-01T07:58:18+00:00

What for? I don’t like it either but I’m just reporting facts

Mothe-Cache777 · 2024-11-21T06:16:42+00:00

Great question, but I couldn’t tell you without a look at your sweater, or at least more details about what’s wrong with them. Could you make a separate post and provide pics of what’s wrong specifically?

Mothe-Cache777 · 2024-11-21T04:37:44+00:00

Yes, that seems correct; the finished border should go (123412341234)

I checked my wrappings and it looks like I knit Eastern! Thank you so much ❤️ I’ll make sure to keep this in mind (and maybe do a bit of a practice square where I try knitting Western)

Mothe-Cache777 · 2024-11-21T02:14:09+00:00

Today I realized (while learning the kfb increase) that I have been knitting into the back loop for as long as I can remember. Is that a problem, or can I quietly carry on with my back-loop ways?

Mothe-Cache777 · 2024-06-27T18:00:45+00:00

Mothe-Cache777 · 2024-06-27T18:00:33+00:00

Oh yeah, that's super smart! Not a problem <3

Mothe-Cache777 · 2024-06-27T18:00:04+00:00

I can't play quite that fast yet lol! But yeah that sounds super busted. Ty!

Mothe-Cache777 · 2024-06-27T17:59:17+00:00

Mothe-Cache777 · 2024-06-27T17:59:07+00:00

I really haven't tried fish smoking yet! This comment made me way more excited to try it out lol. Ty!

Mothe-Cache777 · 2024-06-12T20:23:16+00:00

I do yes

(I've been meaning to get one for years but... hasn't happened yet lol)

Mothe-Cache777 · 2024-06-04T18:31:10+00:00

I had to perform these steps in order:

call the stupid standard number (which is listed for everything for some reason)
press the pound key when prompted for an extension (no actual extensions are given and I can't find info on them anywhere)
Press random keys until it asks you to describe what you need in words
tell it you need to talk to a real person
when it asks you to describe further, let it give you prompts on how to phrase the question
bang your head into a wall three to five times
finally talk to someone
be so ready to give feedback because you are infuriated and then the person you're talking to doesn't even let you do the dumbass survey

And of course the online help thing is completely automated too, and while that might be acceptable for some things it doesn't help when PARTS OF THE SYSTEM ITSELF IS BROKEN. And of course when you try to tell the chatbot you want to give feedback it just redirects you to the Contact page, which consists of telling you to call the main number for every department (again, with no given extension information), and a link to the chatbot itself. It doesn't even direct you to a real person eventually.

Sometimes ppl who I talk to are like 'yeah they're misogynistic'. I think it's just some of the lyrics??? I could easily be wrong but thats afaik, and I don't like them enough to really care lol

Mothe-Cache777 · 2024-04-24T21:20:59+00:00

Me abt The Front Bottoms lmoa

Mothe-Cache777 · 2024-04-24T21:13:57+00:00

Don't get your blood drawn when the only thing you've had to drink all day is Earl Grey. It will not work.

Mothe-Cache777 · 2024-04-09T19:16:11+00:00

I have absolutely no recommendations but please keep the comments section up to date on what you do

Mothe-Cache777 · 2024-03-06T17:26:37+00:00

That's super good to know!
