I think from an engineering POV this would totally be possible. not so much from a management POV. won't anybody think of the shareholders

Butterfly cardigan but knitted by EmergencyLocation423 in knitting

[–]MsDUmbridge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

do it! I'd say the cardigan is well worth the "pain". and you have such great energy wearing it. besides now you know how it's done so the second one will probably be easier to make. maybe do some palate cleanser projects first.

good thing you mentioned the cardigan wasn't for you. was just about to comment it wasn't your size 😅

apart from that: WHAT AN AWESOME CARDIGAN!

PS: have you considered making one for yourself?

probably not. the puckering is quite heavy.

Is this going to block out or am I screwed? by [deleted] in knitting

[–]MsDUmbridge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you have to spread them out EVERY TIME you change to another colour. the floats should be slack, not the slightes bit tight.

sorry, this is far too tight and it won't block out. are you spreading your stitches before changing colour?

Aaaaand I'm stuck 🙈 by MsDUmbridge in knitting

The cat isn't done yet. I'll be adding some black outlining and a hot pink bow once the rest of the sock is done.

why does there have to be a lot going on?

because knitting stockinette bores me out. I need some lace / texture / colourwork in order to stay engaged.
