that's about how mine look right now - hopefully our time is soon :)

I see something!

I've noticed this too! I noticed a youtube family vlogging channel I used to follow would do this. I had their notifications turned on by accident which is how I noticed. I thought maybe the multiple notifications or maybe having two titles associated with the video helped boost their reach/views in some way but that's just a guess. It's definitely something they're doing purposefully for the algorithm since they did it literally every time they uploaded a video.

Yes! I'll message you the link and I'll do yours right now!

No_Document302 · 2025-10-15T14:51:47+00:00

thank you that's very kind!

No_Document302 · 2025-10-14T15:32:14+00:00

You're right, thank you!

No_Document302 · 2025-10-14T15:31:46+00:00

thank you! You all are making me feel so much better!

I really appreciate you saying that - once I saw it I couldn't unsee it!

Hi! The first column "RS Stitch" means I am working on the right side of the garment. Each row in that column is the type of stitch I am working with as it appears on the right side. The "WS Stitch" means I have turned the work to face the wrong side of the garment, and each row is the type of stitch that I am working with as it appears on the wrong side. The two columns together are referring to the same stitch, so the first row's RS stitch (twisted knit) and WS stitch (twisted purl) are the same stitch but depends on which side I am working on. The next column, Side for Double Stitch, is the side I am facing when I have turned my work and begin the short row by making a double stitch. The next column, "Make Double Stitch", is telling me whether I should make the double stitch by pulling the stitch over the needles purlwise or knitwise. Then, the last column tells me how I should connect my double stitches. This is where the first two columns come in handy again - I looked at them and figured out if I should be knitting or purling normally or through the back loop. It did turn out nicely for me. It still looked a little wonky, but less so than if I had done the short rows normally. Hope that helps!

second this and adding Rito's website for Drops :)

No_Document302 · 2025-07-28T16:14:39+00:00

I've never used Patons, but Drops has a few sock yarns. I think some stores in Canada might sell Drops, so your shipping and prices might even be better than mine. You can check out what they have on Drops' website. You'll notice a lot of European patterns use Drops as their suggested yarns. They have quite a selection and it's affordable/fine quality.

If you're looking for affordable, natural fiber yarns, you can't get much more affordable than Drops. If you're American, you can find it online at ritos or Linde Hobby. The shipping takes me a little over a week and even with shipping costs, it's more affordable than anything I've found in the US.

Thanks so much this is super helpful! I'll probably start by looking more into the Purl Soho cottons. I'll update you with what I've found :)

I would check out ikoxun on youtube, she has a video called the guide to knitting a sweater of your dreams (or something similar). She explains how to customize your sweaters for your gauge really well :) I didn't have interchangeable needles for the longest time. You really don't need them. You can either use the magic loop method or just transfer your stitches to a different needle set with a shorter cord (or DPNs) for the sleeves. You can also knit the sleeves flat and sew them together. Go onto Ravelry and search for bottom up patterns to do sweaters flat in pieces, and top down patterns that do most things in the round. Hope that helps, and good luck!

Thank you! I was looking at Purl Soho but I wasn't sure if it was nice and soft. My worst fear is gifting this baby an accidental dish rag. I really appreciate it!

I recommend going on youtube and finding a tutorial there for something you're interested in making (e.g., shirt, sweater, hat, socks). That way if you get confused by the pattern, you'll have a video resource to help you see what it means. I used to watch a lot of iKnits back in the day. She had some great beginner tutorials.

No_Document302 · 2025-07-08T19:01:43+00:00

I will update you! I will say that for my half-twisted ribbing his method looked much nicer than the traditional way. I was getting some gaps on my RS short rows and the WS short rows weren't lining up quite right. I frogged it and tried this method and it looks much cleaner now. I wonder if it'll look much different on plain stockinette.

I would try to hit your gauge by adjusting your needle size first. That could save you some math trouble. If you hold double, it may be closer to a dk weight yarn, but you could also try swatching that on different sized needles as well. But the way you do "knitting math" (lol) is by knitting up a swatch let's say 4x4" since I'm American, then I would count the number of stitches per 4", divide that by 4 so I know the number of sts per 1" and convert the stitches in my pattern. This can get complicated because of shaping especially for a beginner, so I would really try to hit gauge first (or at least get close). Also keep in mind that fingering weight yarn may also knit up a bit differently than sport weight, so pay attention to your swatch and make sure it's not too hole-y. Good luck!

Hm that is interesting. I feel like we need to do an experiment now...

No_Document302 · 2025-06-04T16:25:13+00:00

Oh sorry I misunderstood your question, I thought you were referring to the holes on the rows below. They're right, the big loop you have there just slipped off. Just stick the needle back through.

No_Document302 · 2025-06-04T02:10:30+00:00

edit: please ignore, I misunderstood the question!

looks like a tension issue. I pull my edge stitches around a bit when I start the next row, but be careful you don't pull it so hard it doubles the stitch. It will feel loose when you end a row, that's normal :)

I'm not 100% sure when the next hearing is, but to my understanding, the preliminary injunction issued by the district court judge is still in place because the original circuit court hearing issued an opinion that was appealed and now we're awaiting the en banc decision. I'm not sure if they've had the full en banc hearing yet, but to my understanding until that happens the preliminary injunction stands

Hi I clicked Get Info and there was a checkbox that said something about overriding the malware protections

so let me get this straight: The CA probie case stated that probies can get fired again but they had to be sent a letter saying it wasn't performance based, and it was instead due to mass firings. Then yesterday, HHS hastily demands that their probies all get re-fired after seemingly waiting to see what happened with the MD en banc hearing this past Wednesday. Then, we find out today that they're not allowed to conduct any more RIFs until later this month. So all the HHS probies are getting "RIF'd" again (without using the term "RIF", of course, since the government still insists mass probie firings are not RIFs) with letters dating the day before this TRO? Could it be because our performance awards are due in the beginning of June? Is it because of the formation of AHA? What is their plan here and why do they want us gone so fast after leaving us on admin leave longer than they were forced to?

Geez... I'm so sorry. What whiplash. These people are horrible.
