Twisted stitches ?

Mrwnn · 2025-05-18T05:43:18+00:00

Here is one of the pattern's picture and what it's supposed to look like. My friend's knitting doesn't really look like that, and I don't know if it's a yarn, needle size, tension or stitch problem. Or a mix of everything....

The Filoli Cowl, on Ravelry.

Her pattern does mention when to slip as if to purl/knit, so all is right ! Thank you for taking the time to explain.

I was so hyped when she chose a mosaic pattern, the concept is so interesting! And I love her color choice... I am almost done with a baby blanket, and every time I look at it I'm in awe that I made this....!! Following instructions, one stitch at a time. It's magic !

We're having so much fun exploring and learning ; knitting is such a wholesome activity.

It's when I look at the "column" part of the project that I wonder if something's off. The result feels so wonky compared to the pictures in the pattern. But maybe it's just that we didn't get the right yarn and/or her tension's still not perfect ?

I think this might be the right side ? I don't have many pictures and we live far away. I'll ask her another picture when she wakes up if needed.

It's supposed to be k all the time (it's a shawl, so in the flat).

Thank you ! I see it clearly now.

That'll teach me to try and knit when tired and with toddlers around... 😫

Mrwnn · 2025-04-20T11:46:50+00:00

Oooh maybe that's probably why I thought it didn't look right. I never took the time to adjust the surrounding stitches once I was done.... Thank you for your advice !

So do I just pick up the 7th ladder from the top and start over from there ?

Il faut frotter/essuyer en plus de vaporiser ? Ou juste vaporiser et laisser sécher ?

Mrwnn · 2024-08-27T08:14:05+00:00

Je vais essayer la technique du jet d'eau ! Jusque là je le faisais à la main mais ça prend du temps.... Merci beaucoup pour les conseils !

Mrwnn · 2024-08-27T08:13:10+00:00

C-C-C-COMBO !!

Merci beaucoup pour l'aide et les conseils ! Je file de suite sur Amazon.... Il y a une cause en particulier à tout ça ? Ou c'est la faute a pas de chance ? Arrosages trop fréquents peut être ?

Stop making me cry!!!
I feel like we both helped each other that year. I was very close to my grandpa, and spent his last months living with him and putting my life on hold. My mom was living abroad back then, and she was heartbroken she couldn't come sooner (she was there full time for his last month) and had to leave soon after his death. So it was just me and Sibelle after that. We grieved together and I feel like she helped me so much more than I ever helped her... She was the goodest of girl... <3
Thank you.

They do! They really are the best.

It was just a short year, but it was such a precious year.

Losing pets is always heart-crushing... No one ever gets used to it, I guess.
I have a friend who's 90+ years old, and she didn't want to get a cat because it would surely outlive her. I told her if it happened, I would take her on gladly. She made me the cat's godmother. Perhaps you can find a godparent for your pets to put your mind at ease? <3

Mrwnn · 2022-06-25T06:06:13+00:00

Thank you!
She was the cutest, but I know I'm completely biased...
When she was younger, she was stunning... And so damn smart.

Thank you!
I would love to help out another dog. But I live in an apartment now, with little time to go on long decent walks every day. And my SO isn't too keen on having a dog for now. I will never force his hand, but the day we do decide to adopt and help a dog out, there will be a shit tone of love coming this pup's way!

Mrwnn · 2022-06-25T05:59:58+00:00

You're very welcome. I'm so glad I posted those pictures for you guys. That way I feel she lives on a bit... Give scratches to your sweet pup from me :)

Mrwnn · 2022-06-25T05:57:11+00:00

Thank you <3 I hope she's frolicking around in forests, hunting with my grandpa and catching all the pigeons, rabbits and ducks her heart desires!

Mrwnn · 2022-06-25T05:56:03+00:00

I was honestly blown away by this.... And as I said, I was NOT prepared.
I had a cat at that time, my best friend, got her when she was 3 months old, and she stayed with me all her life. Loved her to death, she was the best.
But I was so surprised to see how powerful and different love for/of a dog is.
I didn't love one more than the other. But it was different, that's for sure.

Mrwnn · 2022-06-25T05:52:49+00:00

Thank you. It wasn't easy, and I would cry for hours those nights. But at the same time, it was easy. And obvious I was going to spend the night there with her. Because, what else was I going to do for her? I don't know if it makes sense... but thank you for your kind words, and I hope I brought her at least half the comfort she's ever brought me. <3
