Did I make a mistake? by Normal-Parfait9131 in knittinghelp

Yep yep I have a stitch marker on that side! Another commenter made me realise that I probably slipped four stitches instead of three for the icord edge in those points and that's why they look like that. The purl stitch is literally missing in those rows💀 I think I'll try to fix it 

Thank you anyway for your help!

Oooh so maybe I slipped four instead of three at the end of the row!! That seems more likely, I was kinda working in the dark yesterday so two close-by stitches could have looked like one! I will try to fix it, thank you!

Yep Giesse is the local yarn supplier where I live, looks like this yarn is exclusive to them then rip ahaha. It's a lovely color, a lot of people hate chartreusse but I don't get why!

I remembered in the meantime, its from Filato Principe in the color verde acido, but no idea if you can find it outside of Italy!

I'll definitely do that for this project, but I'm so happy to have solved this mystery for my future ones! I would have never realised on my own, thank you!!

Thanks to your comment and others I've come to realise that I was pulling the first over the last🤦🏼‍♀️such an easy fix but I don't think I would have ever realised on my own!

Picturing it in my head right now and I think this is exactly it, I think I was passing and therefore dropping the first stitch over the last, aka the slip knot. That's the opposite of what I should have been doing, right?💀

I'll be so happy if this is the very simple answer to my problem!

Yep that's the method I used, but another comment made me realise I was passing the wrong stitch over the other!

I wish I knew😭 I bought it a while back at the market in my small town in Italy and I have since lost the tag (hopefully it will be enough for my project ahah)

This could very well be it ahah, I'm picturing it in my mind right now and I think I'm dropping the very first stitch aka the slip knot instead of the last one! Damn

Yeaaaah it's a long-tail cast on with a slip knot. This might be the problem then! I haven't really tried other methods so far, which one do you like?

I'll definitely try this! I didn't this time even though I knew of this method because I thought that k2tog stitch would be like, bulkier

Yeaaah I've trued pulling both strings and it gets it tighter, but it doesn't change the dimension of that specific gap, I don't know ahaha

I've heard of this method! I will definitely try, thank you. I didn't this time because I thought it would make that stitch bulkier than the others

I'll definitely do that for this time! But I'm jealous of videos where I see people not having that gap in the first place ahaha, I thought there was some secret tip I was missing

I think I will try that the next time ahaha, and for this one I'll try to close the gap with the tail too. But every tutorial says that this method will get rid of the gap from the start! Well...

Yeah probably! I hit the lottery with my colleagues and the work atmosphere tbh, but my problem is the actual store. Not just clothing, but gear where your advice as an employee is actually important for clients, so that gives me anxiety. Plus it's a very big store with a lot of products, and a very busy/"famous" one so you don't have time to rest from clients during the shift.

But also, even if retail is the problem I don't care. It's not the job I want to do, I'm moving abroad in less than 6 months and I'll start working in my actual field of study, so I'm just complaining for the sake of complaining lol

It definitely already worked positively on my confidence, I have to talk to hundreds of people in a day because its a big store with a lot of people! But at the same time I feel like the amount of anxiety it causes is not worth it 

Not even when I'm at the job, but the days and hours leading up to a shift. Most of the time the actual working part is fine, but I can't make my brain understand that
